"Calc Project" - June Post

For our calc class, Melvin, Christian and I decided to make a rap
And there was not a large time gap.
The rap had to be 40 lines long
But we wanted to make sure we killed it with this song.

The real problem was the project was due right after prom
Since after the weekend I felt like I got hit with a bomb.
Getting back into the groove of things would be difficult
However, I had to do my work being that I was now an 18 year old adult

We all sat and thought of different rhymes
And made sure they went along with different chimes.
But that's when we began to realize
That our rap was becoming alive.

In order to perform our rap in front of the class
We had to practice in order to make sure that we made an impact that would last.
And after we ended our performance with perfect execution
Christian, Melvin and I found the problem's solution.

"Taming of the Senior Tests" April Post

The fact that AP tests are coming up soon is making me nervous
And I'm running out of time to find a place for senior service.
I've just finished my project for Taming of the Shrew
Which leaves me time to ponder about what I'm going to do.

Planning for all of this is going to be difficult
And getting a three or above on both these tests would be a miracle.
But enough of being scared
I must be well prepared!

With everyone leaving to go work
Being by my self would probably make me go berserk.
So Christian and I are volunteering with his mom for nursing
That way I too would be amongst the seniors dispersing.

As for the AP tests
All I need to do is study the concepts
And I should be good to go
So I can prove to the examiners all I know.

   

"Prom?" March Post

Prom is nearing ever so fast
And everyone's hyping it up to be a blast.
All the guys in my grade have a date
However I don't and it's getting kind of late.

I need to think of a creative way to ask Michelle
One that would work rather swell.
And that's when in my head I heard the sound of a bell
The idea I just thought of would be good, I could already tell.

The day is Friday, March 16th and I can't wait any longer
The gap between now and prom is getting shorter.
I went to the flower store during lunch to buy a rose
For it would add a dramatic effect when I propose.

We came running into the school in the afternoon
And during bio class is when I asked "will you go to prom with me in June?"
She answered yes and I was so relieved
For my way of asking her in front of the class was very well received.

"Into the Hood" February Post

It was a gloomy Monday afternoon

And Mike, Christian and I would have to leave soon.

Paterson was our destination,

A place often characterized by damnation.

The trip to Paterson  seemed rather grim

As we the stormy weather made me feel like i was going for a swim.

The rush-hour traffic was atrocious

And we sat there and said "this is hopeless."

Upon entering the town we thought we were done

When we looked to our left to see a sign reading "ammo and guns."

After looking for a parking spot in the snow for what felt like an hour

I did no want to leave the car as I started to cower.

However, things changed for the better when we arrived at Eva's Village

And in my head formed a positive image.

We suddenly all felt safe and comfortable

Since the people there were gracious and looking for anything but trouble.

"Mid Terms"

"Mid Terms"

Mid terms for New Milford High School are coming up soon

And this is about the time I start to wish it was June.

Nevertheless, I begin my endless studies 

So off to the library we go, me and my buddies.

We spent countless ours trying to recall all that we had learned

So at least whatever grades we get are the ones we earned.

In order to prepare my self even more

I would wake up at five to study the day before.

The first exam was AP Chemistry

In which I felt that studying had been rather helpful to me.

Up next was AP Calculus 

And upon finishing that my brain felt rather gelatinous.

Last came English and AP Bio

For I believe I let my teachers know

That I had prepared myself 

With all the knowledge on my bookshelf.

"The Week Before Christmas" December Post

"The Week Before Christmas"

The week before Christmas lies ahead
And I wonder what am I going to do as I lay sick in my bed.
I have a calc test, a bio test, a chem test, and an English test
So I guess I'll just have to bear with it and do my best.

As I start to study my 101 degree fever kicks in
But I had to suck it up, for I must begin.
Seeing that I cannot study for all of these in one day
I decided "It is the chem test that I must delay."

No matter how much it hurts when I cough
I realized that I could not put any more of these tests off.
The following day I sucked it up and took three of the tests
And one cannot lie, all three were such pests.

Although its the last day before break and everyone is cheerful
I must take the chemistry test that has been making me so fearful.
But after the test was done
I felt so relieved and thought "it is time to have fun!"

"My Cultural Presentation" November Post

"My Cultural Presentation"

Today was a very important day for me
As any other person would agree.
For it was the last day of the school week
And I was preparing to speak.

I felt rather nervous when the presentation began
But I knew I had to stick to my game plan.
I was attempting to not sound mono tone
Since I thought I heard someone moan.

At that very moment I thought to myself that I was boring everyone
But I could not stop until my presentation was completely done.
When the whole thing finally came to an end
The feeling was so good that I could not comprehend.

My classmates applauded for me
And I was glad to see
That they enjoyed all of the information
Including the art, the song, and the translation.
