Deep Thoughts by Bob

Turkey is a type of poultry and so is a chicken. Does that mean they’re the same…??? The answer to that is no. Why…? The reason is a group of different birds in one category.

    Loss     

By Irais    

Losing someone you loved and cared about is something hard to cope with, especially since most of the time it happens unexpectedly. Losing someone you truly loved isn’t easy, it takes time to heal and process that they are no longer here. Everyone reacts differently to a loss, some might feel sad all the time, some might start acting differently from who they actually are. When they start acting the wrong way they blame it on the fact that they feel alone or “mad” that the person left. I think people shouldn’t feel that way, I think that there should always be someone by their side being there for them at all times. I remember feeling that way two years ago, I felt lonely and mad at myself and I felt like not being her anymore. Until the next day I went to school and there was one person who helped me get on with my day and he made me smile, he helped me feel better and ever since then he hasn’t left my side and he’s always been there for me. He’s taught me that no matter what happens whether it’s good or bad that life goes on, and by feeling bad you won’t get anywhere. No matter what happens throughout your life you should smile your way through it and do your best on everything you can.

 

 

A Friend

by Juan 

Nowadays the word “friends” is quietly used in today’s society. Now some kids use the words like “snake”, “fake” and etc. I hate how people consider others their friends even if they barely met 2 days ago. A friend is a person who’s been with you from start and that has stuck with you for a long time. That they’ve been with the good and bad. Even if you’ve argued with them at times. Don’t consider other people your ‘friend’ if they haven’t been there for you when you needed it the most. Personally, I only have a couple of actual friends that I still talk to. To be honest I have less than five friends. I know that that’s not a lot but, they are the ones that haven’t switched up on me even if we don’t have the same classes. I honestly like having them as friends. A helpful tip is to choose your friends wisely and watch out who you surround yourself with because if they aren’t in the right track that can rub on you and then, you’ll be going with them too. 

Don’t Be Scared

by Evelyn Garcia 

In middle school is hard because you don’t know if people are judging you. I am always worried but I always pray in my mind to god “please god I want people to like me and be my friend please help me I know it’s weird but please help amen” I have been wanting to ask 2 girls to be my friends but I’m nervous and scared because I feel that there not going to like me because of my size or because of how I look because those 2 girls are skinny but at least I have friends that like me for who I am. If your scared of going to school because kids are going to talk about you.You are not alone.

 

Pony There is a pony,
In a bathroom eating honey,
Spreading money,
All over a donkey,
And a valley,
Named Gluey,
And this tray which is grey,
That flew away.

School Promise

Each day I’ll do my best,Flaws

And I won’t do any less,

My work will always please me,

And I won’t accept a mess,

I’ll color very carefully,

My writing will be neat,

And I will not be happy,

‘Till my papers are complete,

I’ll always do homework,

And try my very best on every test,

And I will promise,

To do my best!

The No Title

Sometimes I hear my past calling and I debate on going back. But then I remind myself of the reasons we’re no longer together. A rush of emotions takes over me and all the pain, all the memories flash in front of my eyes. I suddenly remember how unhappy I was. The lonely nights overthinking and losing sleep over you and as I sight in relief I realize how much I’ve grown because you no longer hold a place in my heart. I’ve erased you from my memories, dreams and future. I’m at peace with myself so I refuse to go backwards the person you once knew doen’t live here anymore.
