Earliest Recollection of My Past
Although I have lived in New York for my entire life, I did a lot of my growing up in Iowa, with my cousins. I have helped with soccer practices, jumped on trampolines, and gone to countless state fairs. However, the best memories that I have of Iowa are the ones that I am graced to have with my father, just standing on the porch, listening and watching as the storms roll over the house.
We can see the lights in the sky dim and open as a bolt of lightning spits itself at the ground, and we can imagine the black openings in the sky as huge mouths that are roaring and grumbling in anger, spitting fire at the earth. I am probably all of about five years old at this point, and I can remember seeing my mother smiling as she laughs with her younger brother and his wife in their newly furnished kitchen and my brother and cousins sitting on the floor, putting together their newfound presents from Santa. I loved how the swings would move with the wind and the trees would seem to scream as they were forced from side to side.
I can seem to see these things like they were just yesterday, but I have been told these stories many times over, and I still love to watch the storms roll in. Maybe it's just my imagination and maybe I'm exaggerating the truth, but it may just be the whole truth that this is how I would spend every evening at that house or in that barn.

The rest of the day, I was exhausted dozing off and on. I still wanted to be in the ocean and feel the wave’s crash while knocking me down, even though it was something serious, almost drowning. I ignored the incident and the nest day satisfied my urge for the ocean. I still have the nickname fish-out-of-water to this day.

My First Memory
One of my memories is when i found out my uncle ron was in the hospital.
No one told me what had happend to him.No one really knew i guess.I cryed almost everynight because i was scared something bad was going to happen.I visited him every weekend in Helen Hayes hopsital.They a lot of tests to see what was wrong they couldnt figure it out.Alls the doctors knew was that he was paralyzed.It was a sudden thing to happen.I thought he wasnt going to make i through.He has been doing rehab for his legs,but it isnt working.This guy is someone i look up to, hes my role model.He shows that no matter what happens always be strong.Today, he is still in a wheelchair,but he is fighting his body to see if one day he could walk.That is one of my saddest memories.
Memory
So we started first on my driveway and i fell off the bike and got right back on the bike and started again. I kept on falling so i decided we should go in the backyard and learn back there this way it wouldn't hurt as badly if i did fall. So we went in the back and I finally had gotten the hang of it after the 100Th time. at least that what it felt like. So after that i started riding all around on my road. For a while riding my bike was my transportation to all of my friends houses. So riding my bike was one of the greatest things that had happened to me when i was younger.

My Early Memory
Of course I fell a couple of times, but who doesn't ?? I would get up and keep trying until i learned how to ride a bike by myself. It took me like a week to learn. Everyday after my dad got home from work he would have the patience to teach me how to ride a bike. Once I knew how to ride a bike there was no stopping me !!! i would go and ride around my block and every other place i could find. I was so happy of myself because I never gave up.

My First Memory
Probably because she was still kind of like a kid, going to amusement and water parks, playing
outside with us alot. Her house was like a playground itself. She has so many toys, bikes, dirt bike.
But our favorite thing to do was going into the back yard to a smill hill right before her yard turns into woods. On the hill was a tree with a very strong rope hanging from it. Everytime we'd go
there we would make a new swing somehow. First was a lawn chair (like a bed) and that didnt go so well... next was a mattress, then a stool, rocking chair, pretty much anything we could find. We havnt done that in a very long time but everyone loves going to thier grandmas house.
We only get together there now for holidays, birthday and stuff like that because now they are older and busy and stuff but when we do get together its the same as always.

Ten things poem
The barks of my white dog when a car goes by.
The softness of my pillow when I go to sleep.
The gentle snow falling on a cold winter’s night.
The sand between my toes when I walk across the beach.
The trees where the animals and birds live and play.
The sweet music that puts me to sleep at night.
The couples in the hall way when the bell rings between classes in school.
The warmth of the sun on my face in the spring.
And the hands of the one I love around me on a cool night letting me know that I am always safe and loved.
by Denashia
doesnt it sound familar
The slamming of doors.
Things that mean a lot to me
The way people treat each other
How boring spanish is
The scribbles in my math notebook
How slow time goes by when you're bored
The slamming of lockers in the morning at school
Doodles from my pen as i daydream
When the weather is bad i feel the good
The two sides to every story
music makes people happier
Students waiting till the last minute to do their homework
The fog of my breath on a cold morning.
Don't give up.
The places music can take you.

My random found observations.
Really clean room, OCD status,
Many DVDs, and CDs,
Very comfortable bed with alot of blankets,
PS3 and some video games,
Lots of clothes and laundry baskets,
Few days of the week where its warm enough to go to the park,
The full moon last night,
The taste of salty and buttery popcorn,
Hollywood Undead from my computer,
Loud techno music in my friends car on the way to school in traffic,
Lots of magazine pictures on my wall,
My ceiling with all of my friends writing,
Pictures of my family, my sisters and brothers mostly,
Sounds my houses make,
A "[Nobodies]" drawing on eachwall done by my friend Gayla.
The River watching frogs jump around,
"La Bella Vita". Life is beautiful.

The sound of birds chirping.
The sound of the waves crashing into the rocks.
The fun and crazy moments my friends and I have.
A dragonfly flying overhead, probably towards the stream.
The branches creaking and swaying from the breeze.
The sky always has more than one shade of blue.
I see the dew on the grass.
The ocean during the mid summer night.
Snow falling then just melting away in just a few seconds.
The morning air at sunrise.
Lights that tower over the streets and light them up at night.
The branches creaking and swaying from the breeze.
The weather can effect your emotions and mood.
The cold breeze when it's winter.
The bare trees in mid winter.
The tiredness at the end of the day.

people's lines
everything outside looks gray in the winter
the sky always has more than one shade of blue
The squirrel running up a nearby tree as if gravity didn't exist.
The sound of birds chirping
the stump in the backyard were there was a tree
The T.V's on
the glare on the tv from the light shinning through the window
The sound of the waves crashing into the rocks
music makes people happier
The stop sign that wobbles in the wind
One leaf laying in the grass
I see the dew on the grass
My lawn mower that sits in the garage and collects dust.
My Play Station makes the room very hot
My ringtone going off
My Spanish class is quiet
the silence in class while we take a test
This project was not hard

The hunger that is created during school
how winter looks so cold and gray

The flowing water of a small stream nearby.

The sky in the spring when the clouds are nearly blue.
The Christmas Blessing that tore us apart.
The way love can fix a broken heart.
It may take a while......
Different dreams can seem to make the unwanted smile.

The way my heart races when I see my crush.

"Flash" represents your hopes.
How cold the wind feels brushing against my face.
As I hear my music I feel as I'm the only one in the room to go dance with the harmony.
I miss being outside while the sun beams upon my fair white skin and the warm wind runs through my dark hair.
The Day of light wishes to set further through out the blistering air.
Lights that tower over the streets and light them up at night.
The swish of my pencil in my notebook as I finish up my math homework.
live my life in the city.
"Vogue" represents your dreams.
The fog of my breath on a cold morning.
Words...aren't they great?
A hawk perched on a limb looking for its next meal.
"Prada" represents your desire.
One short pine tree in a line of tall ones.

The flowing water of a small stream nearby.
The cold breeze in the winter .
Snow falling and melting in just a few seconds.
The sun rises much earlier .
The slamming of lockers in the morning at school.
How boring Spanish is .
School is boring.
I get most Homework in Global, and Geometry.
Garbage in my locker.
Piled up papers on my teachers desk.
Doodles from my pen as i daydream.
People are Always fighting For the dumbest reasons.
How frustrated I get when I cant understand my math homework.
How messy my room is.
My room needs to be cleaned.
The smell of dinner.
Watching TV.
The way math frustrates me.
Life as we know it
Life seems different during the four seasons,
The way the trees denature into an old fence from a storm.
A park bench deformed from rain, aging.
The patches of dark green grass.
The ocean during the mid summer night.
The forward motion when the warm wind runs through your hair.
Lights that tower over the streets and light them up at night.
Sneaky out late, hoping fate doesn’t interfere.
The midst of spring, of a bird chirping a song,
Different colors of the sky through out the day.
Hoping May will bring flowers so the small hours in the day pray to last longer.
The first day of High school, to the last day fly’s by.
The slamming of lockers in the morning warning that too much homework will come during each array.
How life can seem the same everyday, but it’s a different date.
How all teenagers seem different but can convey the same
Feeling’s for that one future day.

Found Poem: "A Look in Nature."
Comfortable temperature, blue sky and a light breeze.
Get up and go outside for a walk.
Go into some woods.
Stop.
Listen to nature at its best.
The branches creaking and swaying from the breeze.
Leaves rustling from being blown around.
Birds of all kinds talking to each other, yet we will never know what they're saying.
The flowing water of a small stream nearby.
Just enjoy all of these sounds right from Mother Nature herself.
Now look around.
Notice the squirrels chasing each other throughout the trees.
A small rabbit scurrying towards its home.
A group of deer sleeping in the green.
A dragonfly flying overhead, probably towards the stream.
There is so much in nature and it is beautiful.
An enjoyable thing to do every beautiful morning

The similarity in different people
How just being in high school and being teenagers makes us so similar.
Rumors going around everywhere

Too much homework everyday

How we notice the different colors of the sky
How we talk about random things
The way little things entertain us.
The way we can live with out technology.

People coming and going to work
How boring spanish is
The different colors of the sky during the day
How many trees are around my house
The dusty textbooks that I never open
The gullibility of people who listen
The cold breeze in the winter
The sound when an old book opens
Theres a lot of pollution on Earth
Snow falling and melting in just a few seconds

The grass outside is turning greener
Something small may be heavier than it looks

this is my voice
in
high school
when
there's two sides to every story
when our
decisions led by our emotions create chaos
in the space behind the stars
in the walls
in the halls
i can see dreams
that
seem so powerful
my eyes glisten
as
these are my
words in ink
things I've noticed
emotions
time goes by so fast
but these
random words sound so alike
our differences written on paper
the silence
frustrates me
and
in a place i wonder
where we became so lost
where the lies that cover up the truth
and
the
way my heart races when i see my crush
our place
with
our change of emotion in each
morning air at sunrise
these are the things we cherish most in life
many things that identify me
i smile a lot
the place music can take you
the different colors
of the meaningless little habits i developed
the most beautiful things in life go unnoticed

Summer is important to me because it’s like a new start.

In the inner thoughts of a complacent soul
It runs wild through my veins,

It hides with all the lies that cover up the truth
The laughs that quickly demolish tears
How decisions led by our emotions create chaos
How when someones under pressure it
reveals who they really are
The different emotions going around everywhere
How people act differently around certain people
The awkwardness of seeing an old friend
There is a fine line between a good friend
and a good friend you truely trust
People are so self centered
How many people don't believe that the quiet
girl comes out to have a big heart
The way people treat each other
Time goes by really fast
Everything that you plan never falls in
place with your ideas
There are always two sides to a story
The most beautiful things in life go unnoticed
The things in life that we cherish the most
The place music can take you
The way music consumes me
The way my heart flutters when I hear my favorite song
Many take their lives for granted
The shadows on my wall
They've been a part of my my whole life
