Memoral Passage

"I don't have to be so afraid of good-bye,
because good-bye doesn't have to be forever."
I should follow my dreams and goals;
I should enjoy reading books;
I should enjoy going to the movies with friends;
I should enjoy having breakfast, lunch, and dinner
I should enjoy listening to music;
I should enjoy my mom nagging;
I should enjoy time spent with my annoying siblings;
Until you come back right by my side.

Don't quote me on that….

Let people do what they need to make them happy. 

Mind your own business, 

and do what you need to do to make you happy.

Writers as Readers

When I read I need to be on a comfortable bed, ground, couch, or chair. But, when I'm at home I would read on my wood bench next to my windows. I would also need a soft blankets with candles light up. I would have some snacks beside me such as goldfish, cookies, crackers, and a water bottle. 

I remember when I was in elementary school we would have library time, so we would walk to the school's library to listen to the libarian reading and then we would get to choose our own books after that. I remember walking and looking at books with my friends was so much fun. We would make fun of book covers and talk about what books we like and what books we don't like.

My favorite book is To All the Boys I've Loved Before by Jenny Han. It's my favorite book because I really like her style of writing and it was an easy read."

"When I finished reading The Rules for Disappearing, I was angry afterwards because the ending was not good. I felt like a wasted my time reading that book."

"When I finished reading Speak I was sad because the main character was so hurt and torn."

"When I finished reading Fangirl I was happy because it was a cute story line. 

One of my dream or goal is to write a book one day. I want it to be a self-help book that anyone can read and relate to or can receive some advice from it. 

I know why...

I know why… I'm afraid of expectation. The way it follows you wherever you go.It weighs done your shoulders to the point where you are dragging yourself.Its eyes are watching your every move.First mistake you get a warning,second mistake you get a lecture,and don't dare insisting on trying the third time. You push it away,but it clings back onto you even harder.Its life depends on your success. 

"Don't disappoint me," it says. 

You want to run.

 Run as far as you can, but can you escape? 

That depends. 

Writers Dreaming

7) I don’t have “total recall” of the events in my life. I remember huge events, but day to day events I don’t really remember to me everything is fuzzy. I even have to stop and think to try to remember what I wore yesterday. I think it all depends whether it is a good or bad thing to have “total recall”. For instance if you can have “total recall” on the events of your life, it can be bad because if you have experience bad events in your life that you do not want to recall but you have “total recall” it can definitely haunt you and stress you out. So to me I think it really depends on the person to really know if it’s bad or good to have a “total recall”. For me the events that are the clearest are my happy moments. Like going to Disneyland, traveling, road trips, afternoon prayers, etc. The events that are the fuzziest to me are bad moments. Usually when I experience bad events in my life I would put it in the back of my thoughts where it will disappear eventually and I don’t recall the events anymore.

9) I would listen to music to occupy my small mind. Music helps me, but it can also be a distraction as well. Usually everything is a big distraction for me. I would try to do anything to not continue or finished something I have yet to complete. If I feel that I’m slightly thirsty I would go to the kitchen and get a water bottle then I would feel slightly hungry and I would start making something. Also when I eat I would watch TV, so I would sit there and eat very slowly and enjoy watching shows. After a long period of time I would then force myself to start working and not procrastinate. For instance when I start to do my homework I would feel sleeping, so then I think to myself, “Hey let just take a 30 minute nap”. I would fall asleep and the next thing I know I would wake up and it’s nine o’clock!  So I start doing my homework, but then my parents call me down for dinner and so I would go have dinner with them, which usually consists of talking about our day, which it can take up to 30 minutes or an hour. So then around 10 something I would go back to my room and finish my homework. Sometimes I finish around 11 and sometimes around 12 something.

3)I do think that talking about something bad “gives them too much power” therefore I don’t talk behind another person’s back or gossip. I think by talking about it just result into chaos. I remember in middle school there was rumors going around about something, which if I think about it was kind of pointless and it turns out into a fist fight. To me those gossiping and talking about bad things give them too much power, which leads us to do bad things or become negative. 

Dream Threads

To help the people nobody want to help or be around is harder than she thinks,
She wants to help, but society tells her leave them alone. Don't get affected by them they say, live your life without worrying about others. As she lay in bed drifting off to sleep she dreamed of helping others.
As vivid dreams fade to a dream not worth remembering, she tries her best to remember. Remember the courage she had to help others that nobody wants to help, but she became a coward once again.

Pillow Talk

Bright night lights through the city.
The moon shining as bright as ever with fall movies on TV, a cup of pumpkin spice latte,
snuggle in soft blankets with scented candles lit up,
and the aroma spreading.
Wishing this can happen every single night.

If I Were in charge of the World

If I were in charge of the world

I'd cancel Mondays,

judgments,annoying people, and also

homework.

If I were in charge of the world 

there's be longer summer,

healthier aquatic life, and 

world peace.

If I were in charge of the world

you wouldn't have chores.

You wouldn't have hatred,

You wouldn't have war.

Or " Because I said so."

You wouldn't even have arguments.

If I were in charge of the world

a bunch of chocolate

would be a vegetable.

All pets would be a little bit cheaper.

And a person who sometimes forgot their keys

and sometimes forgot to bring their wallet,

would still be allowed to be 

in charge of the world.

I really like your Acrostic, it was very descriptive!

I like how you got really creative with your paint chip! Especially how you include Kickapoo into your poem. 


I love this poem! I was simple, yet had so much meaning to it.

I can relate to you on just staying home and bonding with your family. My family and I wouldn't go out much because we thought staying home and bonding through chores or fun activities around the house was much better.

I also am doing something similar to what you did when you were nine. I keep and journal/dairy and I write down almost every single day about my day. And when it's New Year's eve I would open the journal/diary and I would read it and see how much I have change and learn within the years. 

Nothing To Do Besides Eating

The paint chip I got was called Caramel Toffee. It reminded me so much of when I was a little kid living in California. I remember every Sunday my dad and I would go fill up huge gallon bottles with water. I tried to help him, but it was too heavy so I just sat and waited for him. While I watch him carrying the huge gallon bottles I would eat Werther's caramel candies. Sometimes I would even eat the whole entire bag because there was nothing to do besides eating and plus it was also good!

Purple

When I was little I would take walks with my grandpa around the park and sometimes we would find strange looking things on bushes. One day as we were walking and I happen to notice bushes that contain what looks like blueberries. But was it actually blueberries? Well to this day I still don't know what it was. All I remember is I tired my best to gather every single one of them for my grandma, but since I had small hands I didn't pick much. As we walk home my hands started getting stained by the "blueberries". I started wiping it on my clothes just to get the stain off, but when I got home I was covered in purple stain and it didn't come off for several days. 

Blue dress shirt was what he was wearing the first time you met him. Tall and built with a charming smile. Eyes wide when he talks about his interests and hobbies. Upset when things doesn't go right. Happy when you guys spend time together. Quiet when you are doing homework, but is loud when he gets bored.

Brown eyes, the one you look into when you first fell in love. The ones that you keep staring at because and you just can't stop but stare. The ones that look into yours and understand if you're sad, happy, mad, or upset. The ones you wake up to and look and thought to yourself one day he'll be your future husband.

As white as snow everything seems pure and clean with one swatch, like angels you see in pictures, puffy clouds you see up above. Just like every girls' dreams one day you will walk down that altar with the most beautiful gown with a beautiful bouquet that you grip on tightly to over come your nervousness. Smiling so brightly that you even show your teeth, but also clear drips drop down your face as you see the love of your life.

Two years later the color pink means so much to you both. With an angel so precious in your stomach. What should you guys name her? Thousands of name pop up, but still haven't been decided. You guys even start decorating a nursery and bought everything. Now it's the waiting game. Waiting to start a beautiful family. 

Totally Tan

This weekend for labor day. My family and I went to Kansas City Worlds of Fun. I was glad we had this trip because it has only been two weeks of school and I'm already tired and want to give up, but this trip made up for it. It was a warm sunny day with a nice breeze. We rode roller-coasters again and again. We also went on water slides. But... I forgot one thing. I forgot to put on sunscreen and by the end of the day I become totally tan.

Dying leaves falling off

The sound of the crunch the leaves make as you step on it

The sun shining brightly through the beautiful trees

The burnt smell of the marshmallow as you're making s'mores around the campfire

Singing, talking, and laughing

Drinking pumpkin spice latte with blankets to cuddle in

Our laughter as loud as a canyon makes our neighbors stay up

But we quiet down and settle inside the house on the soft rug watching Hocus Pocus

A s fall is coming

N ear

T' il next year

I s how long I have to wait for summer

Q uiet and patient

U sually thats

E asy for me

W ith more adventures ahead

H aving to wait

I s very hard

T to pass fall, winter, and spring

E veryday I wait

Haiku

The moonlight shines bright

Above my head in the sky

Looking grayish grey

Haiku

My feet in the sand

Looking at the waves ahead

 Was just memories

I really like how you are passionate with running especially when you said,"I am a goofball who loves running around in long colorful socks, and mismatched outfits." It definitely shows your great sense of humor and personality!

I like how you're so dedicated and passionate about running and I love the fact that Allison is there for you and you're there for her!

I thought your poem was interesting and I love the specific details you put in for example my favorite was " stifling heat, not enough water, hot dry breezes, cicadas buzzing, falling asleep with the spiders by your face, waking up with a raccoon on your chest."

Your trip sounds so much fun! Its so interesting that there is a class like that that we can take and it's so cool that you found four fossils! I really want to go to New Mexico one day, but I don't think I would be able to take the class because I'm not very patient.

I love the fact that the blanket was a comfort to you while you went through all of that! I also like how you have it with you everywhere. 

Same! I love fuzzy and sparkles everything, but what was really interesting was that you prefer no fruits and vegetable. I love fruits so that caught my attention.

I love that you're a big dreamer! It's great that you're honest and that you open up about yourself even stuff that is hard to show others! And keep being you because you are you
