The Land Of The Free
I feel a great sense of pride for where I am from and for the country in which I live. Bruce Springsteen did an amazing job with born in the U.S.A. It is sad to hear so many of the kids here at Summit say they hate our government and America. I wish they could really see how privileged they are. America lets us all chose what we want for ourselves. Everyone has got himself or herself where they are from their own choices. That is a freedom almost nowhere else has. So everyone be proud and thankful for this beautiful country!

Good Writing
What makes writing good is having a plot and good grammar. When you write a paper you want good grammar because people could read your handwriting. You also need a plot to your paper so people could understand what your paper is about.
The qualities that good writing has are good writing, good grammar, and a plot or a story to the paper you’re writing. You want all of these things in a paper. When you have these qualities in your paper then you’ll have good writing.
What I like to read is science and because I like science fiction. Just like in Jurassic park. That has a lot of science in it. I also like fiction because it has dinosaurs in it. I like dinosaurs and they use the science to make dinosaurs. That’s cool how they do it.

Strength
The Strength Inside Of Me
This is who I am.
I represent where I’m from.
I do what I can,
I know I will overcome.
No one will bring me down.
I will rise above the rest.
I’m here to make my sound,
Stand and spit in the face of this test.
I’m stronger than what they believe.
I know my potential and what I’m capable of.
I’ll use what I’ve been given for good.
I will use it to save the people I love.
Those who have judged will see their mistake as they should.
I know who I am.
I will stay strong.

loyalty
loyalty
I think that to be loyal you have to stick by that person and help them out whenever they need your help. I am loyal to my trustworthy friends, family, and religion. I think that there are some reasons that you should stop being loyal like if the person(s) do something, some people would call, unforgivable. But of course mistake are going to be made but when they are supposedly unforgivable it is a lot harder to stay loyal.

Every Person
Every person is part of something bigger. Although we feel as if everything is about us. When it comes down to it we are just blind to everything we can’t see in front of us. When we think we are only part of something small that restricts us to only helping ourselves or limited people around us. What we have to do is take in everything around us and realize the beauty of the world.

Hate Others
3-27-08
Well I’m so sick of people trying to get me to hate others. I think it is so stupid and very childish. If I could dream anything away it would be my self not for the fact that I’m not cool but for the fact that I wouldn’t have to be here when the world destroys its self with its selfishness and pettiness. Its stupid how one persons words can be twisted into something heinous and totally wrong. If I could dream of better people I would but then who would dream me up.

Hurt Really Bad
I was once hurt really bad,
Almost turn in two.
Now I hurt others through anger and being sad,
I’m getting help to end the cycle and make it through.
I’m now as glad as if a fad,
The pain lays down and put the beast to bed.
My head is clear and thoughts have gone,
Time to start my life again.

Trustworthy
5-14
To be trustworthy to your friends & when you give your word you keep it. Also that you stay with your side threw thick & thin.
I’m loyal to my family, because what ever they do I love them same with friends.
Betrayal is never necessary it’s like snitching to me. I think this is a bad idea because loyalty is important to me & that violates that.

Einstein Quote
A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.
-Albert Einstein
What this quote means to me is that as humans we are very conceited, all humans know is what they have experience for themselves and looking for the bigger picture. That we as humans all we can think about what is what wee have and what we can do, all the things we do can affect those around us because it what we want and as part of being conceited we are also jealous of those around us and if we do not have that attention we get upset, and visa versa. We need to learn how to accept others around us an d learn from their experiences because we can if we listen be preventing ourselves from dying if we do something we don’t know about but they did.

Loss
Cade
Journal entry
5-9
“Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside us while we live.”
- Norman Cousins
You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; of a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.
To me this means that you should grab a hold of life and make the most of it, yes, there is a bad side to life, but you should go out and make the best of it. You only have one life so let it all hang out and go for what you want, if you don’t you might regret it later, and that will be more devastating than losing a loved one. Because the only one you are hurting is you.
I think that there are bad people in the world, but that does not mean that the whole human race is, it just means that we are not perfect.
So as far as these quotes go, I do believe them

The Change of Fall
The Change of Fall
The beauty of Fall is an amazing view.
Leaves of gold, skies grey and hazy blue.
Colors changing, growing old, but looking new.
Every day to offer a new hue.
Childhood memories come back to my mind,
Every year at this time.
The smell in the air says football to all.
Everyone knows that beautiful smell of Fall.
Hard hits and big plays.
The things that makes all the fans stay.
Ask the question, what does it mean to you?
It will bring out emotions pure and true

Who is now a hero.

Change
Change,
I think that everything happens for a reason even though it may be unfair.
I have lost a lot of loved ones and a lot of friends. Change is all around us though we don’t like it because it doesn’t always go our way or because it’s hard. I have seen a lot of good change and bad change at the same time. I wish that I could go back not to change anything but to remind myself of family, to follow morals and beliefs, and stuff like that. Do you wish you could change your past? Why?

Faith in Humanity
Faith in humanity
By Ashley
“ You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.”
Gandhi
The world is full of war with outbreaks of Peace, not a world full of peace with out brakes of war. Throughout the ages we have we have had many disasters and people have followed lead. So this quote could be true if we as people are willing to step up, be a leader, stop going with the flow, and jumping when people say jump.
Also this would work if all people could learn how to work together, instead of always fighting for who the best.

In the End
In the end
By me ( Courtney)
I fear what I never had
I cry when I have no tears
Alone is how I feel each day
When life is all I despise
And cold is all I feel
It’s hard to wake up to sleep again
Dreams where I finally feel free
With my heart smashed and hurting
I wonder why I live
Rain seems to be my friend
Snow is my protector
With all my thoughts
I am alone with pain
With only hope of it ending
I live to see another day
In the end the pain may be great
But meeting you has changed my life

The Holocaust
The Holocaust
People think they have it bad now,
So they have a huge cow.
Back then they were killed and injured,
The threats made them scared.
The Nazis killed children and those who couldn’t work,
They now worry about something as small as a fork.
The camps are stupid and very dumb,
The Nazis sit with thumbs up their bums.
So if you think you have it bad now,
Think of back then and then have your cow.

To Be Human
To be human
To be human is to be above and be on all species
And knowing it , learning from former mistakes
And fighting To be the highest on any chain mountain or bar
Higher on the evolutionary intelligence rate then any being
Human is to be as a mass explostion on earth of allied virus’s
Swiping the globe as a controlling, critical thinking,
Power hungry, virus being human is difficult, yes.
Surviving on the other hand may be a little more interesting
For as many have said before nature is survival of the fittest
And as human we are the fittest surviving virus left
And now to be human is to be the overall virus in absolute power
We are human and to be such should act as such to be human is to be free

Being Human
Being Human
Being human is being part of the species of the world we all live on.
We are lucky to be able to communicate so much, and in so many different ways.
The major thing that pulls human life down and that pulls the original families of the world apart is Adversity.
Imagine a world with all your rules, everyone follows and is just how you want.
That is how Hitler thought.
Well Being a human is hard, difficult and not often rewarding.
But hey, It beats the heck out of being a cat.

Being Human
“ Being human is itself difficult.”
Jane Jacobs
Human to me means that you can show empathy and sympathy to people that need it. You can govern your self with laws the spoken and the unspoken. You also won’t let yourself be changed; just because you aren’t accepted by society doesn’t mean you aren’t human.
Inhuman are thoughts people who brake the rules to the full extent they are so far go from the human world that they have lost tract of what’s right or wrong. They are malicious like a serial killer for example the kill and kill then they lose touch with reality they are so far gone that they can never rejoin society. I am not saying anyone that brakes a law is inhuman, they still know the difference between right or wrong and they can make amends, but repeated action that you keep on doing something the rope that is hanging on to your sense or reality is tinning to a piece or thread that if you don’t come to your senses sooner then later you will be sucked into the dark abbess of being in human
Being human is difficult because it is hard sometime to govern yourself under the rules we need to live by and at one point or another we all find ourselves slipping on that deep rope, but all it takes is keeping our minds strong then we shall be able to get up that rope again, even through on a piece of thread have done it, it is hard and take time but you can survive and make it back up that rope

Clear Creek
Clear Creek
By Courtney
I loved clear creek because it was an experience that will last me a lifetime. It was hard for me to leave because I felt so at peace with myself and the others around me. I made new friends and earned a deeper relationship with the friends I already had. The one thing I will always remember about Clear Creek is how we all came together and became one great big family. We didn’t care for just ourselves but for the entire group.

He has very distracting dreadlocks.
He’s a leader of Marley mob,
He’s apart of the cornbread mafia,
And he likes the smell of greasy torn flesh.

Well I have planned to go on a mission then I want to go to college then I want to become married and have kids not a lot but just enough.
My friends, my clergy, and my family have/help control my life and what I do for my future.
I live to have fun and work hard (only when I need to) I love to have fun and be chillax except for when I get mad then it’s just like whatever.
In my life family and friends are the most important things to me next to change.

Pillars of Education
1st pillar-Honor-It is supposed to have everyone bring their school and parents honor.
2nd pillar-Excellence-To better themselves as people and achieve to the best of their abilities.
3rd pillar-Do everything in the ways of the school like they are and have always been.
4th pillar-Discipline-They are watched and under the gun at almost all times.
I think Discipline is the least important because if there is too much then change is hindered and is hare to happen.

Does their teacher have a bad influence on his students?
No I don’t think that their teacher has a bad influence on them. I actually think he has a
really good influence on them. He teaches them to learn for themselves and not always go by other peoples opinions and ideas.
Sieze the day.
He taught them to seize the day meaning conquer the day. Make the best out of every day Don’t let the day over take you , you over take the day.
I think that this can be taken a little too far though. At least I think it can, if you look at it the wrong way. If you take it too far you could end up hurting yourself or someone else.

Down in the pit
How many people down in the crowd
Wanna step up and scream out loud
How many people down in the crowd
Wanna step up and get knocked down
Jump up get rough everybody move
Step up quick with somthin to prove
Down in the pit men are made
jump up get tough don’t be afraid
Free of fear a day of days
Down in the pit u don’t feel pain
Broken noses occasional sprain
Right about then the blood will drain
Free your self and break your chains
Move like and animal with no name
Violently taking out your rage
No writtin rules ever in the pit
But u better stand strong or get hit
Show some respect or show conflict
Ether way homie step in to the pit
Bounce to the music and do it
Be a real fan and step up to the pit

Water is sparkling Shining blue

Standing outside in a giant spill

Keeps us movin’ for another day
Keeps a nourished plant root
Without water life would be really gay

My life is full of goals I feel I will never reach
Yet as time dwindles down I feel that I am getting closer
Then it is torn from me faster then I can see
Now I am back to square one
Life isn’t fair
That’s what I am told
Yet they don’t see all my goals
When my heart is closed to them
So open my heart right?
Not so easy when you feel lost
And there’s no one to ask directions
When you lost trust in the world

Hollow, is how to fit inside
Frittered and cracked,
Solid roots and dead rocks collide
Soil slow, wet, and compact,
No orders were given, not a sigh
Higher and wider it stacked,
So hallow and quite, a perfect haven to hide,
come back.

Frittered and cracked,
Solid roots and dead rocks collide
Soil slow, wet, and compact,
No orders were given, not a sigh
Higher and wider it stacked,
So hallow and quite, a perfect haven to hide,
come back.

Love's Angel
Love’s Angel.
Far all my tears of that Love’s Angel.
Cry everyday of a so sweet Angel.
Speak it true, speak it false if you choose.
But I know that Love’s Angel is mine.
For now and always the Love I have, belongs to you to hold safe and secure.
My gentle touch can never match yours.
Your steady Eyes are more Beautiful than the world.
This world I’m in does not hold you in as high of favor as I do.
Hearts content, Hearts be bled, I will go to war for you.
You are an Angel, I am between and I Love Love’s Angel.
All the Angels I’ve seen can never match up to you or your beauty.
All the Love you have is for all or some, I hope I can hold your heart.
So close next to mine you are.
Your embrace is so gentle, like the wind.
You are by all mean’s an Angel of Love.
All I can Love, All I hold dear to me is this Beautiful Angel.
All I Love is Love’s Angel.

Slow Dance
SLOW DANCE
Have you ever watched kids?
On a merry-go-round?
Or listened to the rain Slapping on the ground?
Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight?
Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?
You better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.
Do you run through each day on the fly?
When you ask how are you?
Do you hear the reply?
When the day is done
Do you lie in your bed with the next hundred chores Running through you r head?
You'd better slow down don’t dance so fast.
Time is short the music won't last. Have you ever told your child, we’ll do it tomorrow?
And in your haste, not see his sorrow?
Ever lost touch, Let a good friendship die Cause you never had time to call and say, 'Hi' you'd better slow down.
Don't dance so fast Time is short. The music won't last.
When you run so fast to get somewhere you miss half the fun of getting there.
When you worry and hurry through your day, it is like an unopened gift....
Thrown away.
Life is not a race.
Do take it slower Hear the music before the song is over.

Mother
Mother
By Ashley
My life is what you gave me
A mother is what you took from me
You don’t know what you gave up
When you choose to leave your children
You lie to your parents saying you always are writing us
When know that you have been having time of your life
That you could care less about your kids
But you still have to look good for your parents
So obviously you’re not mother of the year
You can be my mother again
If you are willing to get the help you need
I am willing to call you “mom” again

violently outraged tightly consumed
dead inside locked in a room

watchin him beg hearin him scream
traped in a box while he stands free
there happiness makes me puke
shaqueld and chaind nice jump suit
peeding my inasence with no proof
he slams his hammer he plays god
grin on his face doin his job
locks my away like im some dog
land of the free home of the brave
yet all the brave get locked away
and all the free live in pain
so many people locked in a cage
do to the laws are government made
all to insure that they get paid
the American dream begins to fade
and all its people full of hate
with the government in control of there fate

Power to my people and all my friends
Sittin in a circle talkin about back when
Livin a life of love and sin
Standing up strong tell the very end
Ready to fight everyday
But on the same note im ready to play
And still Makin sure that we get paid
Hustlin life style underground trade
Not realy worryin about my grads
Livin up the life that I made
Fightin for rights diein For pride
livin the life you couldn’t Survive
the party life that I now thrive

DARK
When I beauties poems I am always left alone,
Trying oh trying to live unalone.
Death and darkness really I don’t fear,
It’s what I feel like while I am sitting here.
Death is dumb Life is shame,
Even if you don’t play this cheating game.
Cold and cold mix with my fears,
Destroying lovely something I’ve worked for, for years.
My life is yours and I’m assured,
By the breathiness of not giving up yours.

Poem
Trapped With No Place to Go
Every time I close my eyes I find my safety there.
When they open I lose my mind, losing every care.
I want to scream, I want to shout, but something holds it in.
I hold my hopes, I hold my dreams, thinking maybe I can win.
Every day that passes I slowly slip away.
No rule I can fight, nothing I can say.
Still every day that passes leaves more of an empty shell.
All the thoughts inside my head are telling me this is hell.
I love my family, I love my friends, they are my last relief.
They drive me towards the light that’s so far beyond belief.
I see the girl of my dreams.
At this point there is no chance it seems.
In all aspects of my life I feel so low,
And know it’s apparent why,
It’s because I’m trapped with no place to go.

Happy is blue,
It looks like a hundred smiles in a schoolyard,
It sounds like the funniest joke you’ve ever heard,
It smells like a freshly cooked blueberry muffin,
It feels like the hug you got every morning before school.

A lot of people think that being free means you can do whatever they want to do. But I personally believe that freedom has to do with happiness. Because if you get out of jail then you will still be under strict supervision. But as long as you have at least some happiness then you have a possibility of having a little freedom. But I don’t know I guess it just depends on the person and what they think it means to be free.

What is freedom?
Freedom is being able to choose your own actions. To choose what you say and what you do. In America we are free but I think that freedom has its limitations. I think one of freedoms biggest limitations are laws. Laws stop us from doing certain things; I think that laws give a different meaning to the word freedom. Freedom ties into the meaning of free will, Humans are “condemned to be free”-We always have a choice, people of high authority can threaten punishments after an action but they cannot physically keep somebody from doing something. In America we are free but freedom has consequences. Freedom is like autonomy. Autonomy is used for determining someone’s moral responsibilities for ones actions. Everyone puts their own meaning to freedom, there are conservatives and progressives and they look at freedom differently. Progressives believe that you should be free to date and marry who you want and not let sex or age get in the way. Conservatives believe that freely elected officials should decide who you can and can’t marry. Some people believe that just because we are free, even though we have laws, we don’t have to follow them. We can’t drink until we are 21, if you are under the age of 21 you can’t buy alcohol, and if you are 21 you cant buy alcohol for minors. That’s the law. It’s a restriction to our freedom, but if we are free we can go out and steal a car and a bunch of beer and go party. Were free so we can make our own choices, we just hope we don’t get caught. Freedom does give us the right to do that but laws give us the consequences. Freedom has many meanings it just depends how you look at it.

Loud Rock Show Causes Heads Literally Explode?!
This is Elden Lowe reporting on K.A.98.7-
Last night thousands of heavy metal fans showed up to the Ultimate Screech Black Tour the heart of Nebraska. Featuring bands that are legendary to the heavy metal circle, Tool, Ozzy, Into Eternity, Parkway Drive, Linkin Park, Metallica, Slayer, Pantera, and Cross Haven.
Evedently witnesses reported that people heads were literally popping, blowing rite off their bodies. The cause of this is said to be from the pinch harmonic of guitarist of Austin Buchanan from the band Cross Haven. His custom built guitar has a neck of 36 frets and reaches a squeal of enough power to blow off the heads of spectators.
Wow, that is Insane. Now back to you Richard

Bad Hair day
The Angry After Party Animal
Woke up with a horrendous hair do on its head
We said to use his new shinny Shamo Shampoo
How well that would work no one knew, it was a very horrid hair day
We tried to tell him it would become a fast fashion
Angry After Party Animal said that we were absurd
Sick of him we stuck him in the shower and soaked his stringy stiff hair
But he was out of there as fast as an anorexic model in a fire at a fascist fashion show

World turned upside down
In my world I am so confused
I always want to change whats inside it
My world makes me feel so used
Like a worn catchers mit
Everything crumbling around me
Nothing is ever changing
They just can’t see who I want to be
It like driving down a long empty range
Can’t you see my world turning upside down?
My world dosen’t even turn now
It’s just a muddy dark brown
All the promises in in my world have become a forgotten vow

DREAMS
Dreams are cool because they’re like an out of body experience. Sometimes they feel so real that you think it actually happens It’s weird how the subconscious in the mind sometimes works you dream will actually come true it’s a really cool thing it’s like de ja vu dreams could also be things that we want more then any thing what makes you what you want to be and what makes you who you who you are.

To understand a poem
To understand a poem you must, well there is no real set way to do this for the most part you just have to come up with your own meaning of the poem using the way it relates to you.
So remember that when you are looking for the meaning of a poem don’t ask the teacher or a friend just ask your self what does this poem mean to me.

The phoenix is a sign
A sign of new life
A sign of rebirth
Eternal life
All these things have some thing in common
They all deal with life and death
Which is a serious matter
Your life may seem very insignificant
But
It is your life, and your decision may change the world

Pain
The nights that passed us by
With me holding you as you cry
In your eyes I see the pain
Yet I hold back and maintain
I know you think he loves you
And yet he hits you and tells you what to do
The light I saw is gone
Your eyes are empty now too
My thoughts now sit still
Hoping the cuts will heal
Your beauty and grace
Is seen in your face
Slowly you go cold
And yet your hand I still hold
Asking the one question why
Why was he the reason you had to die?

Poetry is the window to my soul. I express myself thru poetry. I like to talk but when I can’t talk or when I’m scared to talk I write. I have over 250 poems from when I was 10 to now. I have many years of pain, sorrow, joy and happiness in my poems. I’m glad I like to write.
