"The Evolution of J" by Anonymous

Stemming from being most hated to most loved uttering nothing but pain and destruction by the          sound of her lips to speaking                            nothing other than            life into others Burning bridges and getting hurt, never fearing the consequences Always learning from your mistakes because that's the only way you knew how to grow Fighting to stay alive through all the trials and obstacles You almost gave up until your 3 reasons to live came to save your life I have been blessed to interact with a lot of great people  in my life but none can compare to you The presence you have in a room to command attention, your ability  to vibrate your lips at a speed where sound penetrates the air and people stop to listen, or the confidence you carry yourself with  on a daily basis, your truthfully unmatched I am aware that your greatest fear is being abandoned  and if I were to really think about mine it would probably be the same thing,  the leaving of your smile

"Senior Year Comes to an End" by Anonymous

It’s hard to imagine that this was going to be our last year of high school. It’s hard to imagine that someone like me would miss going to school. It’s hard to imagine that just a few months ago, my plans were so different. It’s hard to imagine what life was like just a few weeks ago. It’s hard to imagine that in just a few weeks everything changed. Senior Year was going to be epic, a year of last rites, a year of future thoughts. Missing dances, proms, sports and friends is the new norm. Missing tryouts, job opportunities and final grades is the new idea.

You hope that people get stronger, smarter and braver than they were before. You hope you have the courage to see the good and not the bad. Families are stronger, and you learn to realize that they matter most. You form bonds with siblings, par

"Beyond The Field" by Hasson Cantarero Hernandez

The grass is wet from the sprinklers getting the field ready for the game. From the center of the field you can see both  goal nets ready to be defended by opposing teams.  The wind blows across a player's face. It brings to the nose the sent of grass and  sweaty jerseys.  From the field you can hear fans chanting  And cars honking their horns as they pass by You can hear the loud thump of the soccer ball  being kicked across the field. You can see the cross bar vibrate after the ball  Violently smashes into it.  From the field players observe the love and  hate the fans give. You can feel the nervousness, pressure, obligation  and the motivation to win. Your body chills as soon as the first kick is taken. And the fans roar in excitement because the game has  begun.  The body grows tired but the sense of love, desire, and  Motivation drives you to push harder.    The first, second, and third goal drop in the net and the  final whistle blows, the game is won.  Happiness, excitement,
