Nebraska Photo Poem

-->

Walking, my feet are sore

As I walk up a small dirt hill.

Nebraska, the land of agriculture

And of scenery.

I am on top of the hill

I look out in the distance

And see a sinking sunset

Birds chirping loudly

The wheat is now still on the ground

Golden, and soft

Like a bed

I want to plop down on and sleep

A sinking fireplace

Under the horizon

Warm and comforting

Now turns to cold and unwelcoming

Smells surrounding me

Like a lion on a deer

Fresh and clean

Calming and soothing

Grasses from the cold months

Is now sprouting

Up from the soil

Green and bright

The sky is now a rainbow

Full of blues, pinks, oranges

Various hues of reds

Making the wheat now a light show.

The sun is now sinking

Deep under the horizon

The sky now black

Full of sparkling stars

I bid a goodnight

To the fields

And to the wheat

And the dazzling sun now gone to sleep

Febuary 13th

Woke up this morning in pj's...not a big surprise. I then remembered that today was Pajama Day for FCCLA week. I started off the day with algebra, where we studied how to find linear functions. Next, off to science where we worked on our worksheets along with our raps about continental spreading and plate tectonics. Now, for history. In history, we finished our Constitutional Convention. Then off to fourth period. In fourth period reading, we watched an Anne Frank video and we chose a friend to write their life about. In band, we worked on pep band, due to the fact that we perform this Friday. In English, we did DGP, we then finished our video about Ted Kooser and answered the questions. Finally, we started our Nebraska Poem projects. For the last part of my studies for the day, i went to Career Guidance where we worked on our projects. PE was the last part of my day at school, though I went to the pep rally for State Wrestling Qualifiers. All in all, it was a good day at O'Neill Public High School.

Success- Blindsight

The big idea of success relates not only to me, but to the movie The Blindsight also. The reason it relates to me is because success isn’t just doing your best, but it’s about how your attitude helps. I am a huge supporter of the word success because I like to be on top, to win more like. The movie really brings out this team that “needs” to get to the top of the mountain. Sadly, three people had to go down Mt. Everest because of health purposes. Thinking they have failed, Erik told them that they had gone 27,000 ft. This relates to my life in another way also. By being my main motivator, success has really made me a better person altogether, not only in sports and competitive events, but life.
