Dedication to Ms.Pollock, our 8th grade comm teacher

For being a Spanish teacher
For being an English teacher
For putting up with us for two years
For seeing the best in us when we don't

For being a basketball coach
For keeping us motivated
For helping us push forth
when we want to give up

For being there when life is rough
and we need someone to ask if we're okay
For always knowing what to say
For always wanting to help

We're moving onto high school,
onto a new life,
you seem like one of us
but it's time to say goodbye.

Thank you Ms.P,
For everything you've done
Thank you Ms.P
We're finally moving on.

Thank you<3 We'll miss you!! (':

Dear 8th graders

Breath slowly
Take pictures in your mind
Always try new things
You'll never know what you'll find

Don't be stupid,
but take some risks
you'll wish you had
when you look back on the oppurtunities you missed
Study hard,
Party a bit more
find your reason
find your what-for
Keep friends close
dont let them haters get to your mind
Ask God for forgivness
leave all the drama behind

dream big
there is no limit
push til you cant go anymore
put it all in to win it
Stay faithful
cause theres always going to be sin
beauty doesn't come from makeup
it comes from within
Keep it real
no one likes a fake
take all of the chances you get
and always learn from your mistakes

onto high school
may be scary may be exciting
be as fearless as possible
life is very inviting

motivate yourself
find your inspiration
never give up
put first your education

never forget who helped you through
you'll be influenced so don't foget who you are
remember what they say,
"If you dream big, you'll go far"

A Story In 6 Simple Words

I read a book last week written by different and random teenagers throughout America.  Each teen tells a story with 6 words.  For example, you may or may not have heard a 6 word story written by Ernest Hemingway called Baby Shoes.  It goes like this, For Sale: Baby shoes, never worn.  In this 6 word story his wife had an abortion.  He didn't come right out and say it, but that's the fun of it. 
But anywayy! So this book was full of 6 word stories written by teenagers.  The book isn't long, it took me like 20 min to read, but it's defiantly worth reading!  It's called I Can't Keep My Own Secrets.

This book inspired me to write some of my own 6 worded stories, along with a few of my friends.  Here are some I wrote, and some from the book that are my favorites:
