"My Most Faithful Supporter" by Anonymous

Months into quarantine and my mom is still

Giving motivation for everyone at the house

To be productive and finish work

I ask myself these three questions everyday

Will I graduate?

Is it worth it to spend over 4 hours on a computer a day?

Do I even have a chance to graduate?

Here goes my mom to encourage me

Motivate me

Enlighten me

Uplift me

My mom is the reason why I get up every morning

To 20 notifications on google classroom

And actually decide to do it

It feels like I'm being bombarded all at once with the assignments.

Thanks for being my supporter at all times

"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...

"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. Missing things that you normally take for granted and turning it into hope. You hope the future turns out better than you expect. You hope that new beginnings are better than the last endings. 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...

"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...
