A Letter to Future Me

Dear Leland

I see you sitting there in the locker room of a professional basketball team, smiling, because it's your debut. I hope it goes well and the fans cheer for you when you rise up to take your first career shot and make it. For that's what you’ve wanted to do for most of your life, and I hope you finish happy and excited for what's to come. I want you to look back at what got you here may be a motivational speech from your high school coach. Maybe you were thinking about quitting and decided no. I'll give it one last try, and I hope that was the best season of your high school career. Though I don’t want you to forget your personal life, go out more with your friends, have more fun, and most importantly don’t give up, and don’t get in trouble. Go to a couple parties with your friends, find a boyfriend and maybe even get married, oh I'm getting off topic. So just whatever happens to you or your family just keep pushing through. Speaking of family, try hanging out with them more and go on some vacation because I know you're stressed, travel the world like you've always wanted to do. Go to Europe or Mexico or Australia and experience all the world has to offer. Go to amusement parks and try to ride all the rides, try not to wimp out on them but if you can’t do it don’t force yourself.


Sincerely,

Leland

My Cat By: Jenna  You and I are bonded  Like the snow that falls    when it stops, we fall, too it was Like a never-ending call that said "I will be there for you" It might be off and on, sad or happy  It might fall on the wrong person But I will always be there  Like a bunch of white flowers  That gain colors  Eyes that sparkle like a frozen lake  That feeling like when you touch cotton      Soft, but sharp  Lonely, but lovely  Smells like ocean   Fresh and blue Cute and calm  Sweet and spiritual   She's Sour candy  the only one I want to touch  The one I want to spend my life with  And just my best friend

ADALYNN - BIO POEM

-
  BY: Adalynn Adalynn, Who is always lazy and lounging. Who is the sister of Morgan, Cedric, and the daughter of Kelly. Who loves dance, law, and justice. Who feels out of bounds, lost, and simply along for the ride. Who needs to be alone but together, peaceful but chaotic, simple but complex. Who gives simple advice, an honest opinion even if brutal, and a good laugh to others. Who fears feeling empty,things touching my throat, and words I cannot understand. Who would like to see the German cathedrals, Italians statues, and the forbidden city of China. Who shares food, kindness, and knowledge. Who is a human, a dancer, and a gymnast. Who is a resident of Olney, Illinois. Kate.

THIS I BELIEVE - NIKOLAI

I’m sure you’ve had at least one person give you a weird look, even though you don’t know who they are or who they are. They just judged you on appearance. They believe in a stereotype. Regardless of this, or how common it is, there is no such thing as a universally true stereotype. This is a simple belief, and even if people disagree, they cannot prove it wrong. It is a fact. You can say all people of [group] are [thing], but you’re wrong. If you’re right, it’s not a stereotype. And if it’s not a stereotype, it's not an issue. It is then not an opinion, which may be offensive, put simply. If I said “All adults are rude,” I’d be wrong. That’s a simple stereotype. Point out even a single outlier, and you’ve proven someone wrong in their stereotypical beliefs. One moment I can point out here that I’ve had to learn this was when I was playing an online game, and when I tried to talk to someone they said something rude. I don’t remember what they said, but I eventually got it out if ...
