Sometimes failure is actually a good thing instead of bad. I've learned lots from failure like in middle school I was on the track team and there was a game one night. When i was at the track meet i accidentally threw wrong and failed to beat my PR and everything. So I learned from it and practiced more before the next track meet.The next few weeks after that another track meet came up and turned out all the practicing from the failure and the tips. I was scared to do the same thing I did on the first track meet. My confidence went down so I talked to the couch and she gave me really good advice. And when I stepped up on that concrete slab for my turn to throw the discus I landed myself third place overall. I got it and landed me in third place in the track meet. So it turns out not everything is bad. All you gotta do is learn from it and accomplish what you set your mind to.

Old people should understand. I feel like old people don't understand kids in their teenage years. They always think we either have attitudes or are addicted to cellular devices. When really that's not true. We were on the phone to contact friends, or entertain ourselves, or even just to chill. But of course we were “addicted”. Not true at all but things are still wrong. Kids are always misunderstood by adults like a lot. Like if we do one thing wrong in the house parents have the right to ground us and everything but when we speak up its talking back like thats not fair. Or even when we just wanna hang out with friends and parents hate on us “leaving too much” when really we just wanna hang out with friends not everything has to revolve around staying inside a house. And adults always say kids don't understand we do understand you just won't let us understand. Teenagers matter too!

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 ...
