NJHS/Poetry Cafe

I got into National Junior Honor Society with my friends. Alyah is to my left and to Alyah's left is Emmy. National Junior Honor Society is a program for student with 3.5 grade average and has good experience in leadership. NJHS does special charity work life relay for life and donations for others.

This is an action shot of Emmy, Alyah, and I trying as hard as we can to not laugh. Here is a funny story, okay so we were all sitting down until your name is called you sign your name in the big book and take a candle. Right when I walked down to the line Alyah and Emmy looked shocked. I asked, "What?" the girls answered, "You forgot your candle!" I ran up the stage grabbed a candle and ran down. We were trying so hard not to laugh.  It took forever to light my candle with us shaking with laughter.

 The same morning we had poetry cafe. What we did was read our poems to the class and parents were welcome. It was fun, here is one of the poems I read:

                                                              Peace Poem

Me, myself, and I

Midnight chimes ringing

Hearing the bluebirds sigh

Moonlight shining

Say good-bye

To bombs and war

Don’t be shy

Hear the humming birds soar

Feel the wind fly by

Smell the flowers

Run around

Time is ours

We won’t be seeing war cry

Not now

And not for a long time

For now there is PEACE in the world

For now there is PEACE in the world

And for a long time

Now

We won’t be seeing war cry

Time is ours

Run around

Smell the flowers

Feel the wind fly by

Hear  the humming bird soar

Don’t be shy

To bombs and war

Say goodbye

Moonlight shining

Hearing the bluebirds sigh

Midnight chimes ringing

Me, Myself, and I
