Senior Privledges
Seniors this year are excited to know that school will be done a week early. This is the first time that seniors are let out this early in Eastview histiory. If people were to plan to have a senior skip day the we wouldn’t be able to leave early. The thing with seniors these days is the fact that they are way to excited to leave and some even ask Why senior year exists. Well the reason why there is a senior year is als o to make up credits.. and you know they don’t want us to leave. Especially these days breaks have been less and school been longer. Most schools are out a week later than us, Leaving early doesn’t seem like a big deal but when you hear people talk they get excited.

poettyy

“He’s there to hold me and guide me as I make mistakes and learn how to take baby steps to get closer to him.” That’s all I could repeat in my head while a poet was on stage saying a poem that she wrote. The thing that catches my attention is the fact that you could write about anything that you’re passionate about. This lady was passionate about how God touched her life and how he’s there to guide her and be there for her. Poetry is for your interpretation a poem doesn’t have to make you see what the writer sees but they want you to feel what they felt. It’s good to be inspired and really know what people are trying to say and write.
“That poem was really good and it showed how she felt and how bad he wants her in his life too even though she was talking about God.” As Fenet was saying this that made my 3 other friends want to write a poem and actually write about something that they wanted others to feel about life. So Fedha wrote about life and wrote about the earth and posted it up on Facebook. Some poems can really inspire someone to really do something or just relax because it could have a good feeling. The thing that actually gets people started to write like this is through experience. A lot of poems could be about love and life and things that just don’t seem right. The thing that seems too important to people is something that is worth writing about. Being inspired by people is one of the main things that could make you do something about it. Poetry has always inspired people to write one. When you read what you like that’s when you want to do something like that too. “I like reading what my friends write because it gives me ideas on what to write about.”Hawi said that it made me think because that was what me and fenet used to do so when I told her that we started agreeing that that’s how people get inspired. Being inspired to write poetry is good and making it mean something to someone can be a really good feeling. The poetry that people were saying was touching especially since you could really feel what they are talking about.

Going to the show was really fun and inspiring especially for my friends I saw how they started trying to come up with freestyle it was fun. I saw how other people were so quiet trying to listen to all the artists. People were singing it out. When I asked what people there what they liked they definitely liked the songs and the poetry. Some people did interpretive dancing its different but it still has meaning in their movement. People loved how there were so many different ways to create poetry. Going to an open mic place for poetry is really nice and it can be eye opening for people who go there. The people who did a good job organizing this were students from the U of M really organized this. Having this at schools could be a good thing because it really teaches students how to get out of their shells and tell people a little poem. It can be really a good thing to start something new. The thing is with poems is that you could open your mind and write whatever it is that you want.
