Graduation Poem! (Written by Tyesha Johnson)

Only once does one go through here
Leaving a mark behind,
But what the mark ends up to be
Is for you to decide.
Now I know you time is up here
And you're moving on,
But that doesn't mean we'll forget you
Just because you're gone.
Some of you are remembered as Nerds
And others as Class Clowns,
But these labels won't move with you
Unless you let them drag you around.
You can be who you decide
No matter what your classmates say,
YOu can be a famous singer
Or known for brightening peoples day.
You migh become an astronaut
Or maybe a Vet or Nurse,
Or maybe you are a Housewife
For better or for worse.
Maybe you want to dance
Or study Geology,
Maybe you're not quite sure
Just what you want to be.
One thing I am sure of
That I hope, for all, is true,
Is that no matter which way you go
You always believe in you.

If you stop believing
Things will begin to fall apart,
So continue to perservere, work hard
And it will take you far.
It's like you've stitched a quilt of opportunity
Collecting all thse years of dreams,
And instead of cherishing this quilt
You watch it ripping at the seams.
My advice would be to protect the quilt
And make sure it stays strong,
Because if you cherish your opportunities,
Success will lead you on.
I tell you this to encourage you
So one day you can proudly state:
I have worked hard through College
And am ready to graduate.
Today there are goodbyes said
Here, at Shelby, many memories are held,
But now it's Hello to new beginnings
So Good Luck Class of Twenty-Twelve!!!

I can't wait for that feeling of relief.
Monday at 11:26 I will be free!

Learning from The Bluest Eye

Through reading The Bluest Eye I have learned more about myself. Some of the characters lacked control...just like me. I blame the way I am today on my past...which is true, but sometimes I use it as an excuse for my behavior. When Bri was talking about this in our group it really made me realize that about myself. When am I going to take responsibility for the way I am? When am I going to take control and change it? I'm glad we had that discussion. =) So I guess that'll be my new goal...to take control. Whether or not I will succeed...I don't know, but I will keep on fighting.

You know the feeling when everything is completed and you are so happy and everything is peaceful?

me either.

EXAM???

I have no clue what i should do for my exam project like at all! this suxs! I dont even know what I could do. any ideas? lol

WELCOME TO THE END!

I just cant believe that we are almost the end! I'm just glad that it is almost over cause high school has just been stressing me outso much thati cant hardly take anymore of this. I am so ready to get away for work and for college! This presentation is really scary though i will be honest its really freaking me out! but it should go smoothly or atleast i hope it does.

Blah blah blah.

So it really just hit me hard how close we are to being done with high school.  I'm super glad that we took our last test yesterday and I feel pretty confident on all of my essays.  I just really need to get this research paper done.  Gahh. Well my group presents Monday.  I have so much to do this weekend.  Track meet tonight, color guard tryouts at gvsu tomorrow, my research paper.  I cant wait for summer but I might just miss high school a little bit.

im tired

I've realized that I really don't get enough sleep... like ever. I really need to make that a goal in college, otherwise I would stay up late all the time and never be able to function.
