"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

"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 ...
