The circular quality of this piece serves only to strengthen it. Each of your words feels carefully chosen and crafted, with a great measure of intention behind them. 

1. ELA is the best class by far
2. Spanish because the teacher can't manage the classroom 
3. Maybe getting to work in the State House as a Page
4. 8th grade, but I'm mostly homeschooled so it doesn't matter
5. The food at my school sucks, but I'm in an under privileged part of VT so it's good that we have it at all because some of the kids only eat school food
6. I'm on the Vermont State Youth Council  

I love this poem so much! It was recently my birthday, and I was feeling really nostalgic about growing up. I couldn't stop thinking about the future and how it would turn out. But you really put my feelings into words. It just means we should cherish the time we have now. Happy Birthday! :) 

This is wonderfully said; the imagery is fitting, and the language suits this poem very well!

1. A year long singing class with 11th and 12th graders. 
2. AP Statistics. There are so many new concepts I have to learn and the homework takes a long time. 
3. Still # 1 
4. 12th grade 
5. Our school lunch is ok. Some days are better than others. 
6. I'm in Model UN and in January we go on a trip to Philly so I'm excited for that. 

"Maybe this is what growing into being an adult is- feeling more like a child than you ever have, even when you were one." I love this line so much. When I was younger I tried to act and think like an adult. Now that I'm older, I feel younger than I actually am, and I try to value my youth more. 

Thank you so much!

1. Humanities. I love English and this class is basically a combination of English and history which means we have two teachers. The people in this class are also really cool and I like the teachers alot.
2. So far Algebra 1 because I'm awful at math but I like the teacher and students or Integrated Science which I like the subject of but so far its kind of boring. My school does different classes each semester and I have a feeling my least favorite this year will be PE which I have next semester 
3. Humanities again. It's my only year long class and I just think it will be really fun.
4. I'm a Freshman 
5. Some days lunch is fine, others not so much. There's always pizza though so I think I'll stick to that most days. I really like the people I eat with though and my school has a cafe where you can get frozen yogurt for like a dollar so its not all bad.
6. Not really any fun facts, this was really fun to do though :)

I had to take a break after reading, I was so overcome by emotion. This is so well written, and it really made me feel heard in a way that I’m not used to. If this was written from experience, I’m so sorry for what you’ve been through. You are so talented!

1. Orchestra, because it gives the motivation I need to play my violin.
2. Food & Nutrition, because the kids in that class don’t listen to the teacher.
3. Teacher’s Assistant, because I’m gonna get to work with my favorite teacher.
4. 9th, I’m a freshman.
5. The lunch at my school is gross. My friend got milk in August that expired in March, and the bacon is so thin and barely cooked it looks like skin.
6. One “fun” fact about my school is that one of the elevators has black mold in it. 🤢
