Broken Pencils

  Remembering Marley The marching band is quiet now, the stadium lights are low. But we still hear the beautiful songs that Marley used to know. Her clarinet is resting, her sweet voice fades away, Singing "beautiful things" That brightened up our day. We will picture her laughing loud, throwing a football high, swimming in the cool blue pool. Under a summer sky. The way she cared for little children, with a heart so warm and kind. She brought a special sort of joy. Sing on, Marley, your music lives forever Inside our memory.

  Dear Younger Marley, Hey, how's it going!  This is sophomore Marley. Your ADHD can be difficult to control sometimes. As well as you talking out in class and lying about stupid things. These are your struggles, you know them, continue to work on them. I’m writing to tell you that people are going to continue to be mean to you. There’s nothing you can do about it except ignore these bullies. What to do if these people continue to mess with you? Tell them you don’t have time for them or tell them that you have to go because you will get mad easily. Or other than that, if you can’t escape them just avoid them until they stop.

Fourth I would put pictures of my family. I love my family and want people to know how awesome my family is. Last but not least, I would put all of my rewards. Whatever it may be, high honors, theater awards, or even class favorites. I would put these in here because I love to show how academically smart I am.
