There is something about music that takes me to this place....where is this place? I haven't quite figured that out yet, but I'm there now I know I am.....

I am president of Anwatin Middle School and I have never felt more proud. I've gotten so many opportunities to do so much that I would have never done if I wasn't so involved. Being class president gave me a whole new look on life. So I began to think about all the people who make fun of the teachers and complain about school being boring. Then I thought about why they tend not to do their work and fail their classes eventually I put two and two together and got the answer. Kids aren't bad, or even stupid. They just don't know and no one ever takes the time out to help them understand. Instead they send them out the room and roll their eyes. Kids feel they have no one to talk to or someone that understands. They just treat one kid how they treat the other. Take my AVID teacher for example. There is a boy in my class that is really shy. He doesn't talk to many people and it's hard for him to pay attention in class, we even think he may have a disorder, but my AVID teacher doesn't seem to cut him any slack. She is constantly picking on him saying things like, "You need to pay attention" and "Why don't you just raise your hand and ask me" using the harshest voice she could use. Now I understand when teachers try to get someone out of their comfort zone but you are taking it to far when you are making someone feel uncomfortable.

I don't speak for all kids or for all schools, this is just what I observed at Anwatin Middle School in Minneapolis, MN. Teachers should really learn how to deal with kids in that age group in that particular type of neighborhood because you can't treat every kid the same.

I've always had this dream of fame, I never settle for anything else. As everyone screams teacher, doctor, athletic, lawyer. I think singer, actress, writer, tv host.
My chances of getting there are slim, but I will make it. Success is in my blood.
Everyone I meet should remember my face, get to know me while you can.
My name will be in lights one day, anyday. Just wait, and see.....

Need to put my thoughts in order and start to live my dreams.....

Does It Make Me?

If I Lie Once, Does It Make Me A Liar?

If I Sip A Beer, Does It Make Me A Drunk?

If I Kiss Him, Does It Make Me A Heartbreaker?

If I Kill Her, Does It Make Me A Bad Person?

Every Moment Counts

Dear Diary,
Have you ever thought to think?
"What's happening at this very moment?"
At this very moment someone is-
loving, hurting, laughing, frowning
All at this second someone is-
crying, dying, kicking, hugging.
As we speak someone is.......
