"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, and accomplishment fills the 

body, it’s a great feeling but you don’t know how to react 

So you just smile and stare in awe. 


As you leave the field, you receive chills and turn around

Instantly you re-live everything that just went down and smile.

Eyes fill up with joy and your mouth move to bring into 

reality the words:

“This is my home”

"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 carr...

"Covid Thoughts" by Anonymous

It’s interesting being a senior in high school during the COVID-19 pandemic. It is a time of great uncertainty. Something no one can control. Sure, the President of the United States, the Governor of NY, and even local politicians have put in policies to help fight the spread of coronavirus, however, it’s inevitable. The Kansas Governor has suspended the school year for all high school students, does that mean NY could be announcing a similar directive in the near future? The prom and graduation we’ve been looking forward to for our entire educational careers. It’s not fair. As President of the Class of 2020, I feel powerless, I try to keep the class informed, but there is only so much I can tell them. Why? Because I don’t know, I don’t think anyone does. I do know that school administrators are not worried about prom or graduation, they’re worried about handing out chromebooks, setting up wifi hotspots, and feeding children that qualify for free or reduced lunch. I completely understa...

"I’m Stressed" by DeAsia McCorvey

I’m stressed  The month of May has just begun One thing after the next thing is flung into the mix I don’t have time to dwell, only to progress I have to assess each step  The overdramatic feeling of everything being ruined has long passed The next chapter is coming, and coming fast The past feel so far, and the future too near  I’m not ready, I fear School hasn’t prepared me well enough to go from teen to young adult in the course of 2 months  I feel like a lamb to slaughter, unprepared and unaware The best year has turned into our worst year  I’m questioning if where I’m going is right  Despite never having doubts before  Cold feet, and sweaty palms  These qualms are heavier than imagined These qualms make my brain overactive when I’m suppose to be inactive  These qualms cause hot flashes of anxiety  These qualms make mood shoot south when dwelling too much  I would have never predicted how much I would struggle as a senior  ...
