Persuading You to Read a Blog
By commenting on the freshman’s blog it will give them ideas and feed back on what they can fix or what they can impress. The freshmen are learning what they need to do in order to get a good grade on there blog post. By the upper classman giving their remarks and comments on the blogs will let them know that there is something missing and they can fix the mistake. Also by the time they become a sophomore or an upper classman they will know what will be expected in their blog post and they will get the process just like that instead of struggling.

Sophomore Paragraph
In order to be a sophomore you need to act mature and show everybody and yourself that you are ready to be an upper classroom instead of a lower class man again. Being a sophomore means to show the teachers and the adults in the classroom that you don’t need assistance for following directions that are given to you. Once you’re in the real world and you feel you need to be the class clown or a job clown when you’re working then your being really childish and immature. Also in order to be a sophomore you should not have to be told many times to do something.

SPA Poem
Life on campus is like a battle field every time you walk in the light
When you see students arguing it turns into a fight
Life at spa can be very challenging but you have to make it the best thing
When students argue with staff there’s no point, why waste your time when you hurt a joint in your body
When you see students arguing it turns into a fight

When students argue with staff there’s no point, why waste your time when you hurt a joint in your body

Free Choice Paragraph
I am looking foward to this weekend to spend time with family for president's day. I will have a good time because my brother is thinking about going to the mall and going to the movies and see a good movie. I feel that by having presidents day off is a really great idea because we get a break from school and the campus. When ever I spend time with family on holidays or just for the weekend I feel very special because I know that I have people in my life that care about me and only want the best for me and my education.

"Grape Sherbet" Blog post 2011
I can relate to the " Grape Sherbet" poem because before my grandma died she would always tell me how she would always would want the family to gather together before she would pass away. She would also love to spend a lot of time with me after school and on the weekends. The phrases that help me imagine this poem are "Its just how we imagined lavender would taste." Imagery helps the reader to understand the poem and what it is used for. It also helps the reader to know a easier definition in what imagery is used for.
My Most Memorable Valentine's Day
My most memorable day on Valentines Day was last year when I was getting ready to go on pass for the weekend and Heather got me some candy. I was really excited and happy because I had never had a person that cared so much about me and for me to get me something for Valentine day. After I had got ithe gifts from Heather on Valentines day I went to her house and gave her a big hug and told her thank you alot of times. After I went to Heather's house I was on my way on pass and so the rest of the day I basically had alot of sweets because my grandma threw a party for the family and so my Valentines Day went really good.

What is Love and What it Means Poem
Love is not just a word
Love can mean so many things
Love can hurt and turn on your back
Love is just a simple quote
It does not have to mean that you will spend the rest of your life with that person
Who is to tell you that someone or something cant love you equally
Love what is really a definition of love
Does it have something to doi with being with a person for years
Who has been in love with a person for a while
My Lyric Poem
I am excited to be me
I am excited to see you
I am excited to catch you when you fall
I am excited just because your in my presents
I am most excited when you act like your own self and not anyone else
I am excited when I see your pearly white smile
I am excited to see you
I am excited to catch you when you fall
I am excited just because your in my presents
I am most excited when you act like your own self and not anyone else
I am excited when I see your pearly white smile

"Same Song" Paragraph
The theme or the message of the poem is that some people look good or inpress people on purpose so that they can have people like them on the outside most of the time instead of the inside. Looking good is not that inportant because why should someone have to impress somebody so they can be popular why can it not be for theirselves. People try to look good because they want to have people not judge them instead of looking at the real perspective of looking good. I think that it's not worth putting alot of time into your physical apperance because you should feel comfortable with yourself before you let anyone else judge you. In the end I dont think your apperance matters all that much because people should see you for who you are in your hart instead of your outside.

"Heart! We will forget him!" Paragraph
In the poem "Heart! We will forget him!" the speaker in the poem speaks directly to her heart as if it were another person, a possible reason she talks to her heart seperately could be so she can express her feelings in a different way or because she only knows how she feels and no one else does. The reason for her to be heart broken may be because she could not find the right person or she may have been a relationship where that person was not understanding right. Personification is something to do with personal stuff. One way I can relate to this poem is because I have been heart broken and people step in and out of my life.

Imagery in a Song
The name and the artist of the song with imagery in it that represents my life is I believe I can Fly By Rkelly. One image in the song is a person that beliieves that he is in the sky following his dreams and achieving them to the fullest. This image is meaningful to me because when I want to achieve my goals there is always a way for me to achieve them. The second image I see in the song is a person expressing theirselves. This is meaningful to me because I can express myself in how I feel. Another image I see is a person not being scared of what they beliieve in. This is meaningful to me because people are true to theirselves and true to people around them. When I hear the song I have faith in all that I do in life and know that I can achieve it.
This is the lyrics:
"I Believe I Can Fly"
I used to think that I could not go on
And life was nothing but an awful song
But now I know the meaning of true love
I'm leaning on the everlasting arms
If I can see it, then I can do it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it
[1]
I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
Spread my wings and fly away
I believe I can soar
I see me running through that open door
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
See I was on the verge of breaking down
Sometimes silence can seem so loud
There are miracles in life I must achieve
But first I know it starts inside of me, oh
If I can see it, then I can do it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it
[Repeat 1]
Hey, cause I believe in me, oh
If I can see it, then I can do it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it
[Repeat 1]
Hey, if I just spread my wings
I can fly
I can fly
I can fly, hey
If I just spread my wings
I can fly
Fly-eye-eye
This is the lyrics:
"I Believe I Can Fly"
I used to think that I could not go on
And life was nothing but an awful song
But now I know the meaning of true love
I'm leaning on the everlasting arms
If I can see it, then I can do it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it
[1]
I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
Spread my wings and fly away
I believe I can soar
I see me running through that open door
I believe I can fly

I believe I can fly
See I was on the verge of breaking down
Sometimes silence can seem so loud
There are miracles in life I must achieve
But first I know it starts inside of me, oh
If I can see it, then I can do it

“A Storm in the Mountains” One with Nature
I was in a foster home fours ago by myself. My foster parents needed to go to the doctor to check in early for there appointment the next day. But I wanted to stay home to watch a t.v show before we went but they were rushing me and I decided to go to sleep so we wont have to go. The next morning I woke up at six in the morning to be at the doctors and I was really tired and irritated because I hate when people wake me up. So when we got to the hospital they went to go in the office to get their appointment and I had to sit in the hallway myself and so I decided to start running and runaway. But luckily the security guard stopped and asked me to calm down and he will call my social worker because I told him I was a foster kid and he said okay and called my social worker. The experience changed me because I realized it was not about just about one person it was about different many people instead of myself.
