Well I haven't written anything in here for a while. I received a 4.0 on my semester report card and then tomorrow I'll be attending the 4.0 Tee. Below is the poem that I'll be presenting. My original plan was to read chapter 1 of my story but then it was too long although I could've just read an small excerpt but then my peers wouldn't get the whole idea of my story even if it's just chapter 1. Nothing exciting happening at school but I did a debate in my Language Arts class today. I was a bit scared. Anyways My science teacher gave me an extra assignment to do, I don't know why but he did and now I have to finish it in 1 week. I'm learning stuff about Life with Carbon it's actually pretty interesting if you really get into it. Science is not as bad as you think it is. My board game for GATE turned out pretty good. hmm....My cultural Competence project was good, I think....I summarized a folk story about Japan in less than a minute whew I'm glad I'm over with that, it was quite scary since I sort of didn't know what I was talking about yet I did a good job on it. Oh yeah I attended a book reading for Kim Wong Keltner on her first book The Dim Sum Of All Things on Sunday. She is one amazing writer. She comes from the sunset district of San Francisco and for those Asians out there, you would love this book. I recommend it for anyone. I also got my book signed by her which is awsome and my teacher bought me the book so yeah it was good day even if it was cold. : )
My poem is called "You Make, I Shake", which was a random name because I wrote the poem in 5 minutes, since my counselor told me I couldn't read the story but I wrote the poem based on my teachers so this is like something dedicated to them.
You Make, I Shake
Written by Wendy Lee
You make me feel like the leaves of trees in fall
You make me wonder if the skies are blue
You make me fly when the ocean tides flow
You make even the closest balloons glow
You put me next to education
And now I am apart of the M.L.K. Nation
I shake the leaves off as spring comes
I shake off the dreams that have already been done
I shake my wings because I can fly
Right now as I am standing here
The rainbow over the meadow is very clear
I can sigh and make a wish that is truly mine
But for now I cannot say good-bye
