FRANK CHURCH HIGH SCHOOL

Teaching-Writer Daniel Stewart

Connor In this day and age society tends to want us to follow norms. This is relatable because everyone has been told they’re not doing something correctly by the form of someone else’s opinion. When I was in middle school I lived in Star, Idaho, a smaller town ive square miles. There was a big norm in Star. I was expected to dress like a cowboy, but I would dress in jeans and Vans always mud rain snow you see me in Vans. Everyone tried making fun of me for not wearing cowboy boots but I kinda let it go. Boots were ugly to me and you could never skate in boots or run. I would tell my friends to play football just so they could say “I got boots on” so I could laugh.

Brittney A river of stars illed with thoughts and dreams Forever wishing to bathe in its colorful stream Far above our outstretched hands Always ready to take a stand We listen to it whisper Its words change like a shiter Never the same And never ready to explain It taunts, it tests Never letting anyone rest We curse and we plead And it only ever watches us bleed But in the end everyone knows It’s like a rose All full thorns Its painted colors are like a blush We should know because we’re the brush

[I AM JUST A SMALL THING ON THE EARTH AND IN THE UNIVERSE, I]

Daniel I am just a small thing on the Earth and in the universe, I take less than .00000000001% of the universe’s time given it’s been here for billions of years. But in that time I have learned it is rare to love and being cold is easier. When I was a kid I would pray for an amazing life. Blooming with love like a ield of lowers in the spring or dandelions on the sidewalk growing life in a crack of hardship. My point of view on life was probably changed when I fell into the pool as a kid and watched the ripples on top almost laughing at me as I gave into the pressure to breathe and let the water in and the bubbles rising as I faded into darkness.

Juan On the way home people will be nice and thankful On the way home people will be honest with themselves on the way home I can feel safe People can prosper and complete their goal On the way home I can see people be happy and smile and not frown

On the way to my school I can be conident I will have a good day

On the way to my friend’s house I don’t have to worry

On the way to work I can feel conident in my skill and not worry I will lose an income On the way to the park I can see happy kids in their youth On the way to life I can prosper and feel joy

People can be happy but it doesn’t start with everyone that starts with one

Hank We start out in life not knowing a thing about where we are or why we’re here. It takes years for us to even learn to ask any of those questions and the people who are supposed to know everything don’t know the answers. I’m here to try and make some sense of those things. To start that process I need to tell you about our father and mother, the moon and the sun, who created us and gives us so many things such as the tides and warmth. The moon and the sun chase each other for eternity, always longing to be together. They were once always in unison and that is when the earth was created. One day they decided they wanted something to look ater so they used their energy to create earth and the life on it. This was the moment humans were brought into the universe from the moon and the sun. Without the warmth of the sun and the bright light at night the moon guides us with we wouldn’t be able to survive.
