LETTER TO MYSELF

By: Dean

 Dear Younger Self, 

I know times are tough right now, people are mean to you and you feel like giving up; so do I right now. I know you feel invisible and alone and that the whole world is against you. Some things you need to realize are that things aren’t gonna get better. You need to tough it out and try your best to get it done yourself. You are strong, even though I know you don’t think so. You have made it to where I am now. You're still depressed and unhappy with your life, but you have done it so far.

I know you don’t know what to do, but here’s some advice for you. Don’t let mom drag you down; she doesn't understand that you need space and that you're not very happy. Don’t let kids get to you or anyone for that matter. I still do, but you need to stop for us so we can heal or what they say will stick to us forever. You deserve to be happy. Even though times are tough, we have to be tougher. 

I know you’re also having family problems. I know I still do now. Things still don’t get better. They are rude and insensitive and they don’t understand what we're going through. Just try and ignore them, please, they don’t deserve us. I bet once we are gone they will miss us: maybe or maybe not. 

I also get it people don’t like you, they don’t like me either. If you think that what you're going through is rough, wait till you get to high school. It's way worse. The people are meaner and everything is harder. You will survive, though, you always have and always will with everything life throws at you. People may not understand you and that’s their problem. If they don’t get you, that’s on them. 

The choices you are making, though, will make things tougher, so just get away from people as much as you can. Don’t let people try to drag you down; they'll just fail you’re already all the way down. 

Good luck with everything and take my advice ok so we can be free. 


Sincerely, 

Your future self 

Dean

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 ...
