Autobiography Poem

            I am a girl with feelings

            I wonder about boys

            I hear people talking

            I see my friends

            I want to be good in everything

            I am a girl with anger

 

            I pretend to be something I am not

            I feel like a small person in this world

            I touch others with my writing

            I worry that I am not good enough

            I cry when I think about my family members that are gone

            I am a girl that wants everything

 

            I understand that everything can’t go my way

            I say that I am not good at anything

            I dream of being everything

            I try hard at things

            I hope I can be what ever I want

            I am a girl that does not know what she wants

=======================================

 

  I came here from Kenya.  It was a lot different from the old school in Kenya because there we wore uniforms.  At Fremont, there were tall people.  I got lost just looking for my classes.   And there were a lot of people!  The classes were different.  The teachers didn’t spank the kids here if they did something wrong.  The language was different.  When they spoke Spanish instead of English it was so weird.  I didn’t know what they were saying.  The kids here cursed a lot.  I heard kids got suspended, but it was not fair because I thought they were having a vacation by getting to stay home.

            Now after a year, I have gotten used to the school.  I got into clubs and found my classes in ten seconds.  Now I’m used to everything.  I have lots of friends and new teachers every year.  I’m in After School Scribes, Family Scribes and Dance.  I’m really getting used to the teachers and everything else.  I’m also getting good grades.  Now, I meet new fiends all the time.  Being new to the school was hard because I got lost, but really, Fremont is a pretty nice school.

Tania M.’s Opinions of Fremont,

 

   I like a lot about Fremont.  (Not really but we can go with that. lol)  I really like  Fremont. I am glad I go here.  I wrote the first part of this writing in December 2005 and the second part this March.

   One thing I like about Fremont is all my teachers. I like them because they are so funny.  If I had too change classes I would not, because I like the teachers I have already.  What I like about my teachers is how they make us laugh.  My teachers are the ones that get me to do my work and I thank them for that.

   What I do not like about Fremont is how when I am in the hall the older kids push you. It hurts.  I wish they would stop because I do not do it to them.  Hey, I know they will not stop, but I wish they would.  I also want to do it to them but I do not want to get in a fight.

   Another thing I like about Fremont is how we do not have to stay in the same class.  I have a lot of fun with different teachers.  I am glad that we get to walk to our different classes.  Well that is all I have to say. Well ok, bye.

                        Part 2, from March 06

   What I like at Fremont know is how we get to go swimming in the summer.  I have not gone yet, but I hear that it is fun and that you get to play chicken fight.  I hope when it is summer and we get to go that it is as fun as everyone says.  I like to have fun when I do things because then it gives me something that will make me want to go to school.

   What I do not like about Fremont is how everyone thinks that they rule the school because that is not cool at all.  I wish that it did not have to be like that, but that is how people are these days.  I’ve got to admit that I think that way some times.

            Another thing I like about Fremont is how all the boys are cute.  They dress so fine that it blows my mind.  Some of them are SoOoOoOoOoOoO cute.  You see most of the girls looking at the same guy.   Then they get in an argument or fight. Well that is all for now.  Bye, till next time.

            I am a bird ready to fly.

            I wonder where life will take me.

            I hear my life running past my ears.

            I see myself going far from home.

            I want to be free.

            I am a bird ready to fly.

 

            I pretend to be invisible.

            I feel like I could soar through pain.

            I touch the sky with my bare hands.

            I worry that I can’t go on.

            I cry when I am left behind.

            I am a bird ready to fly.

 

            I understand I have the strength.                                                 

            I say I have the power.

            I dream of clouds and stars.

            I try to run fast when I touch the earth.

            I hope I can lift myself up.

            I am a bird ready to fly.

 

I wrote this poem because it expresses how I feel.  As a young person it is important to tell how you feel and to express yourself in words.  This tells that I  am very independent and have a way with words.  My favorite part is the part where I talk about me pretending to be invisible.  That part means that when I feel pain or anything I act invisible.  Many people from the past that went to the school can probably relate to this.   Students at the school this year may also relate to this.  I dedicate this poem to kids that have a lot to say about their feelings.

This is my poem. 

                                    Thank you
