Power

Here is a poem I wrote about power:



Power is a mysterious thing
Sometimes we absolutely need it
And sometimes we only think we need it
There are some who will do anything
To have power over others
They feel like they can do whatever they like
To get other people to look up to them
If unnecessary violence takes place in order for someone to gain power
They shouldn’t have the right to have power
People with power should be people we can trust
Not people who are greedy and unpredictable
Sometimes a person will want power with all their heart
And when they finally get it, they realize it isn’t what they expected
This comes with the saying
Be careful what you wish for

Invisible Children

This is a link to my fundraising page for invisible children. Please, please donate! All the money goes to help the children in Uganda that have been turned into child soldiers by an evil man named Joseph Kony.

Costa Rica

I just got back from Costa Rica on the 21st! The trip was absolutely amazing and I really want to go back. Here are some pictures I took there. The pictures are: a capuchin monkey, a beautiful waterfall we hiked too, a coati, an exotic bird that I don't know the name of, and the largest hummingbird in the world.

Book I Am Reading

Hi everyone! One of the books I am currently reading is called The Book Thief. We are reading it in English class right not and it is about the Holocaust. This book is amazing! The writing is extremely good and even though the topic of the book is not a super happy one, the story is still very entertaining to read. I suggest you all buy it or rent it, and read it! :-)

School

Back in school! Sorry if I don't post for a while. Right now freezing rain is falling and icing the road. I'm crossing my fingers for a snow day tomorrow!
