Remember When

Rebekah Fraser

Remember when I was 3, I started ballet, I remember when I didn’t care how I looked on stage or who was better than me Now I care how I look And care who’s better than me

Remember when I was 5, I started kindergarten, I remember when I made one friend, one good, close friend And he moved away at the end of the year Now I’m lonely

Remember when I was 8, I finally made a new friend, I remember when I would give him my American snacks he’d never tried He would give me his Indian snacks I’d never tried We don’t talk anymore

Remember when I was 10, I found out I had scoliosis, I remember when people started calling me names Laughing that I had to go to a doctor because I was broken Now it doesn’t define me

Remember when I was 12, I finally had a group of friends, I remember when I was not a stranger to people anymore I was actually liked by people and not ignored We don’t go to school together anymore

Remember when I was 14, I started high school, None of my middle school friends go here I remember when I became an outcast again I sat alone at lunch for a while

Now I’m 16, Less than two years before I leave home I’ll start driving soon, Maybe I’ll get a job I’ve learned a lot But sometimes, I need to quit looking forward, And realize,

That even though there's a sea of good and bad way behind me, That it is okay to look back. It is okay to remember when .

Beginning of Fall

Angelena Le

Seasonal picnics, Pumpkin flavored drinks in shops

Fall leaves arrive home

Autumn

Meliana Banko

In the warmth we sit

In the dark, brisk fall night

Laughing and cheering

Warmth

Leaves change colors

Orange yellow red I rake them up and then I Play with them. Jump in them, kick the leaves

Whoosh-the leaves dance in the air

Sometimes hot, sometimes cold Short sleeves when it's hot Sweaters when it's cold When it's fall, the temperature goes back and forth

Fall is the time for thanksgiving A time to get together

People travel, people eat You see family you haven't seen In a while- it makes you feel happy and warm
