Broken Pencils

THIS I BELIEVE By: Ralynn I believe that love is one of the most powerful and transformative forces in the world. Love has the ability to heal wounds, bridge divides, and bring people together in ways that nothing else can. Whether it’s the love between friends, family members, or romantic partners, it has the power to make us feel seen, heard, and understood. Love can inspire us to be our best selves, to take risks, and pursue our dreams. At the same time, it can also be challenging and messy, requiring us to be vulnerable, patient, and forgiving. But even in the face of heartbreak or disappointment, I believe that love is always worth it. Because in the end, it’s what connects us to one another and to the world around us.

GRADUATION SPEECH By: Ralynn First of all congratulations to all my fellow graduates, and I promise to keep this speech as short and sweet as I can. I want to start off by saying thank you to all my teachers for everything they have taught me through the years. Also props to my them for putting up with me instead of giving up cause the lord knows it was hard. I believe in God, I don't know if you do, and I'm not telling you that you should or trying to push you towards that, but God has helped me through my toughest times throughout high school and my life for that matter. I have faith that he will guide me through even more hardships, as he will to you. God has a plan for you and you may not have gotten that acceptance letter that you wanted, but that's part of his plan for you. The things you plan may not go through. But that’s when we are left with a choice. Most of us when we face a choice we choose the easy path. Why cheat yourself from choosing the easy path? Don’t be...

Two Different Worlds By: Ralynn Sadness Is a dark gray cloud on a warm day  It's an unexpected feeling, like a storm on a perfectly clear day  It's like taking a fresh breath of air only to smell vinegar The crackle of lightning after thunder Sadness is overwhelming.  Love  Is the color of a field filled with flowers  It happens when a spark starts between two lost souls  It's like stepping into a candle store  It's like hearing rain on an old tin roof It's like a kid walking into a candy store  Love is blind and breathtaking. 

FOCUS ON YOU By: Ralynn  

The Definition of a Home By Raylynn Not all houses are HOMES.. Just because people live in a HOUSE doesn’t mean it’s a HOME.. A HOME is a place where you can be you..  A HOME is somewhere you don’t have to hide.. A HOUSE is somewhere you have to hide who you are..  A HOUSE is a place where you don’t feel supported..  There is a major difference between a HOUSE and a HOME.. A HOUSE is a place where people live together, but don’t connect..  They don’t support and show affection to each other..  Instead they yell and fight.. Point blame, make you feel bad for focusing on getting better..  In a HOME they show affection and support..  Instead of yelling and fighting, they talk things out..  They don’t point blame off the bat, or make you feel bad for changing..  They get you the help you need.. In a HOME you have life and joy.. In a HOUSE you have barriers and constant fighting.. In a HOUSE there are strangers..  In a HOME there is a family....
