Stream of consciousness poem

She loves winter and she loves how it gets cold and you just have to wear layers you don't have to do much unlike summer where you can't really do anything to get cold but winter is her favorite season and she loves the way it feels being under layers and layers of blankets and wearing warm hoodies and fuzzy socks and she likes christmas and getting presents for her friends and families and making them happy she loves the way christmas makes her family close and on christmas eve, everyone is talking, playing games, and having fun she loves the way she sees everyone in her family that she doesn't see a lot and winter is just a wonderful season and she wishes that winter stays forever.

Elegy

He left when she was two

She grew up without a father figure

She lost a friend

A playmate

Half of her

She was left with a mother 

Who did everything for her

Her mom was her superwoman

She knows how hard it is

Taking care of two kids on your own

She worked so hard to keep a roof on their heads

and food in their mouths

Working two jobs

Double shifts so they can buy necessities

People ask her about her father

She doesn't know what to respond

So she whispers "he left"

It's been seven years

and now he wants in...

After all this time

Why now?

She wonders

He left like nothing

He found a new family

She just didn't get it

Why didn't he leave?

She just wanted an explanation

Were they not good enough for him?

And now he wants to be in her life again

But it's too late

Because in her eyes, he's dead 

Ode to Laptop

Always
waiting for me
when I come
home

Letting me
talk to people
online

Always there
for me when
I need it

Never letting
 me get bored
I can't live
without it

Making me laugh
like there is
no tomorrow
while watching videos

It's bottom burns
like the sun
And smooth
like a baby's butt

Ballad

Oh, how can she be so foolish?
She thought she actually had a chance
He was the apple of her eye
The light of her life
Oh, how can she be so foolish?
Whenever she was alone
She could only think about him
She could feel his hands holding hers
She could taste his sweet lips pressed against hers
She could see his flaws and all
But that didn't matter
She could hear him saying her name softly
Giving her chills down her spine
And last but not least
She could smell him
That sweet smell of his
But then she woke up
Oh, how can she be so foolish?
Did she really think that she could get him?
Now she has a broken heart
But if she didn't get her hopes so high
She wouldn't be in this position
Oh, how can she be so foolish?

Limerick

There once was a boy named Mark
He loved going to the park
He had a dog named Lucky
Whose favorite toy was a rubber ducky
He also had a funny bark

Free Verse

I didn't intend on it

It wasn't my fault

I just wanted to live life 

To go with the flow

Little did I know

I fell instantly for him 

Why didn’t I see the signs

It was right in front of me

Yet I can't find the courage 

The courage to tell 

That the person he’s been wanting to know

Is actually him...

Do you speak up readily when you hear something you disagree with, or do you prefer to listen to all sides and either remain quiet or speak up only if the conversation is going in a direction that you can't live with?

I prefer to listen to all sides and remain quiet .Do you prefer to give directions and make decisions without a lot of input from others? Or do you prefer a more collaborative approach?

 I prefer a more collaborative approach.Are you comfortable sharing power? Or do you prefer relationships where there is a hierarchical power structure in place?

I am comfortable sharing power.

I think the Special Ed kids we helped bake were really adorable and fun,  but I don't think that mixing special ed students and general education students in the same classroom. I think this because Special Ed kids need a lot of attention and support. General Education student don't need as much support and attention. If both students were mixed then it will be a hassle and it will be hard to teach. Some Special Ed students need more attention than other Special Ed students and need a one on one teacher so mixing the students will need more teachers in one class. I think that helping to tutor them like our class did once a week is just as good. This way, the General Education students can get to know the special ed students like we did and I think it was a really good experience. If all the Special Ed students were all together in one classroom they can all help each other since some are slower than others and I saw that in Mrs. Hines class. Everyone in that class were joking around with each other and helping each other out.
