In The Hallways

During class the halls so quite
The bell just rang, me rushing out just to see him
Lockers slamming, teachers yelling “Hurry up don’t be late for class”
I’m blocking everything out, except for him, his look, his smell, his smile, his laugh, his voice. Than one day he breaks my heart what do I do I want to forget him but I can’t forget, his look, his smell, his smile, his laugh, his voice, I just Loved him so much but, now, I want to forget him and he want go away.
That is what happens in the halls when the bell rings.

Where I'm From

I am from the windy city,

From a crowded family and a huge dog named Tina,

I am from going to Movie Theaters,

From eating skittles and M&M's,

From living with babies and a big family,

From going to the mall, restaurants, and going out,

From eating chocolate,

From chewing gum and gum popping,

From a funny and humerous family that like to play around,

From playing jokes on each other and from my family helping me out,

I am from a Mexican family!!!!

BJ loves Pit-Bulls

BJ loves her Pit Bull,cookiedough. She got it from a petstore. It stays with her and her mom. Cookiedough is brown and black. BJ loves her because she is agressive and protects her. Cookiedough sleeps outside when she has been bad, like the time when she bit the mailman.

I'm from the sickness to health
I'm from Jack and Sharon,

from God, who calls people like me,

from aniamls and art,

no limit to where they go,

from books like Narnia and Red Wall,

and back to reality again and again,

from the basketball court shooting shots,

to the water where I swim the butterfly,

from nachos to crackers to fudge sticks,

from the dream world where they all can come true,

to 'What people say about you doesn't make it true',

to 'Nothing is impossible with God',

from Greenville South Carolina growing up to wherever I will go when I grow up,

from Nicole to Brooke, doing things together,

to my room where I exercise and think,

from writing a story,

to my mind where the deepest thoughts bounce around and poke,

where God answers prayers,

to school to learn, to home,

I'm from having my eyes set on my goals and dreams!

I'm from a life filled excitement where my ultimate goal is be like Jesus Christ!!!!!
