The Land of the Free

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!

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.

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

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.

Break Down

Break Down

Struggling to breath now,
Thinking about her too much,
Praying for her touch.

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.
