Favorite Song

When I was a child, my favorite song was "Ring-a-Round-a-Rosey." I was about 4 or 5 years old and my classmates and I were spinning in a circle sing the song. I thought, at the time that it was so much fun and it was cool. But now as I am older, I know what the meaning of the song is. It was a reflection of the Black Plague.

"Rhyme Zone Poem"

Lonely
Only Me
Saddened
Timeless

The way you made me feel when you left
You did not care about anyone but yourself
Walk away and leave me behind with nothing but hurt
Use me for whatever you want and treat me like dirt
A child, innocent… full of life and love for you
But of course you never knew
Grew up way before I needed to
Still you don’t care about all the pain you put me through
Birthdays pass by, but still no word
But, did you even know the day it occurred?

The rhyme scheme of this poem is AABBCCDDEE.

Poetry Podcast Poem

A special world for you and me

A special bond one cannot see

It wraps us up in its cocoon

And holds us fiercely in its womb.

Its fingers spread like fine spun gold

Gently nestling us to the fold

Like silken thread it holds us fast

Bonds like this are meant to last.

And though at times a thread may break

A new one forms in its wake

To bind us closer and keep us strong

In a special world, where we belong.

"RAIN OR SHINE?"

Being from a topical place, I love both rain and shine. If I had to choose one weather it would probably be the sunshine. I love the warmth on my skin, it makes me happy. However, once in a while I would not mind the a cold, rainny day inside.

"Cliche Poem"

Love is Blind.
When I see you my heart jumps
As you approch me I think to turn away
As I hear your voice butterflies are fluttering in my stomach
You lift my head from my chest, looking into your big browns
You had love in your eyes, but lust in your heart
I was young and in love
With who I thought was you
Mom said "It's better to have love and lost than to never love at all."
A broken heart is hard to mend
By experience, I know
Because of you, only YOU!
Love is Blind.

"Figure of Speech"

The best figurative language game I played tonight is the metaphor battleship because it was the most interesting and fun. In order to play this game, I had to try and sink the other person's ship, and when I succeeded I had to answer a question. My final score on this game was I won both rounds.

My least favorite figurative language game is the simile practice, because it was too simple and boring. In order to play this game, I had to read sentences and decide which was a simile.

"Winter Break"

My winter vacation was extremely dull. I stayed on campus for the whole vacation because my aunt went back home to Trinidad. There were only two people in my house, consisting of Caty and myself. We both went to the movies together and saw Alvin and the Chipmunks and Avatar. Both movies were entertaining. Since it was just us our overnight let us sleep in the living room and we woke up early to open presents. I got tons of clothes, make-up, and accessories. The rest of the break was rather simple.

"My Life In 2009"

At the end of 2008 I had just entered the system. So at the beginning of 2009 I was still getting use to being a foster youth. Even though everything had changed in my life, there was one thing that stayed constant, which was swimming. It was always my stress reliever, it was what I looked forward to everyday. Between the months of Februray and March I was in and out of court everyday for my trail. Then I came to San Pasqual Academy the day my trail ended, which was an easy transition. Being here I've gotten my grades back up, I have a boyfriend, and I constantly talk to my mom. Which is all positive for me.

2010 Here I Come!

This year I am looking forward to a new beginning. My family might be coming up in the summer time and I am extremely excited. Mostly because I have not seen them since I was 10 years old. Hopefully by the end of the year, if everything goes smoothly, I will be going back home to Trinidad for Christmas. In June I will be turning 17 and I'm excited. The last thing that I am looking forward to is trying by best to get a 4.0.
