Poetry- My Thought Poem

Thoughts

I'm really nervous for this soccer season. I hope to score a goal in my first game. If I work hard I believe I can do it.

Whenever I see homeschooled children they always have backpacks. I don't see the point in this at all. If they don't have to cart around their books, why on earth do they need a backpack?

Sometimes I wished all my friends lived in the same area. It would be so convenient to see one another more often. When I think about our world though I guess it is one area, but it's far too wide to feel a closer connection to friends who live so far away.

I think it'd be really cool to grow up during the 60's and 70's like my parents. Everything seemed so cool and new. Nowadays everything is the same old and not much is exciting. Back then new and helpful gadgets were just being invented. I feel if I could choose an era to be born in I'd choose back then for sure.

My favourite show at the moment is Mike & Molly. They're so cute and the dialogue in the show is very funny. I think it's so cute that people fall in love. I can't wait until the future when I am able to meet that special someone for me.

Watching the music video for "Hello World" by Lady Antebellum, I found really sad and at some parts it made me cry. My thoughts on the song were similar to the scenes portrayed in the video but then at other times they were different. Everyone has their own ideas and opinions on how they see things laid out. I feel that certain songs or lyrics should be acted out but not all of them. I think having your own interpretation to the song and then seeing someone else's helps you stay open-minded to others thoughts and makes you realize that you shouldn't shut down other people's views on things just because they're different from your own. I feel that if you act out music it helps display the message and the emotion to the words to give you a deeper meaning and a better connection to the song. Depending on the type of music, but I think in a way all music is used for at least one person's own escape whether it be the artist or the person listening. Music can help us uplift our spirits or help us realize that our actions are good or bad. Having music in one's life is a great thing because it let's us know that we aren't the only one's going through that particular scenario, that someone else is feeling the same thoughts that you are.

Assignment #6

For Spring break this year my volleyball team went to Hawaii. We fund-raised all year by doing bottle drives, car washes, barbecues, and etc. We had a lot of fun hiking, playing beach volleyball, shopping, and spending time with one another. It was a great trip and I'm glad we were able to go.
I chose this picture because during this trip I spent a lot of time with my good friend Simmy. This is a photo of us just before diving under the water snorkeling to see all the fishes in the coral. It was a neat experience and I'm glad I was able to share it with her. She was terrified of the fish swimming beneath her and we weren't allowed to step on the coral so it was a bit difficult at first. We were trying so hard to not do anything to hurt the fish that we occasionally forgot to breathe. When this happens you freak out and try to breathe through your mouth, by doing this you inhale so much salt water. It was pretty gross.
After trying our best to not give up, we eventually gave in and sat on the beach building sandcastles with a 3 yr old. As we built the sandcastle random chickens and roosters walked along the beach going through people's things. It was very different to see them just chilling on the beach.
I'm so glad we were able to take this trip together with a wonderful group of girls. It was a lot of fun and I hope one day we can take a trip like this again. It was a neat experience and it was a great way to spend my Spring-break.
