Oh Nostalgia!

So riding the bus to downtown Silver Spring headed to work today I passed through the good ole White Oak. I saw some old faces that made me smile and laugh. Passing Springbrook I saw the 'typical' White Oak styles and personas that you are completely unaware only exsist in White Oak if you live there. Some good, like the way people greet each other warmly when they see each other no matter whether they haven't seen each other I'm two hours or two weeks. This is definetly a refreshing change from the Sandy Spring/ Olney way. There it's rather unusual to see friends greet each other with hugs if there is no special occasion. Other White Oak ways aren't so... well just say attractive. Like thinking it is okay to talk so excessively loud and do all these extra smacking noises with your gum, oh and don't forget the over zealous hand gestures. If that's to get attention girlie, can I just tell you that it's not cute and it looks like some sort of animal mating call. Despite this being gone for so long, I still some sort of my heart is still there. White Oak do you miss me too?

**Now be warned this is a generalization, this does not mean everyone acts like that. There are certainly anomalies in this problem set.**

Escuela y Musica

Update on my taking four APs: So I'm just taking it one day at a time, making sure to stay way ahead of my assignments,praying EVERY morning for guidance thats the only way I'll make it through the school year.

On a musical note, (haha did you get that?) I have discovered a couple artists that have very unique sounds that very refreshing. I'll allow the music to speck for itself.

The Song of Peace

Oddly enough I was inspired to write this poem while doing my AP Lang homework. Its about my strong belief that our generation has what it takes to get begin world Peace. Its not just imaginary to me, it achievable with amazing amount of hope we have in our generation. if we just focus our talents we would be more than a force to reckon with. So when I finally got an extra second I decided to finish it and post it here for all of yall to see. Don't you feel lucky? 

The song of peace
She whispers to herself her favorite song.
This is no ordinary song, this song has no war, no hunger.
She sings a song where unity is the chorus, sung by a choir of acceptance.
She thinks no one can hear her but, little does she know she's about to change the World.
This song is not a typical song.

Once it gets into your head it's hard to get out.
The man sitting next to her hears the song and likes the tune so he begins to sing along.
They become a silent force.
Their song is now a wind.
The sweet song echoes in their homes.
Their families like the beat, so they begin to sing too.
The singers are now an army.
The wind is now a soft storm.
The song's rhythm soon spreads to an entire generation.
They are now undefeatable.
The storm has surpassed all expectations.
It has become a hurricane.
All those who refused to so sing along will have no refuge.
They will be wiped out.
There will be no hiding. No running. 

The revolution is inevitable...
And to think, it all started with a whisper.

New School Year!

Ahhh, I can already smell the halls of my, at times, beloved Sherwood High school. Its time of the new school year to begin and for the first time in my life I'm excited, for lack of a better word. I can't wait to begin the hours upon of work, the endless studying, the countless complaints, and the late night study sessions. Truth is I've missed it all. In the midst of all this chaos I can only see the far end. I can only see the far future when God's great destiny for me is reached. I can already see it unfolding. This year I am honored to be the Vice President for Sherwood's chapter of Amnesty International. I am so glad to represent a club a that holds my motto (I am my brother's keeper) dear. I am making this year THE YEAR. No exceptions! 

Obsessed with "Obsessed"

So I had heard they hype about the Eminem being obsessed with Mariah but I didn't really think much of it. Then I heard the song. Its really good! Officially one of my favorite Mariah songs

Mariah has to admit with Eminem creeping her out she wouldn't have made such a hit. Now, Im not condoning whatever it is thats going on because I honestly don't know. Then I decided to surf YouTube for people singing it and to my surprise I found something that just maybe even better than the original!!!! They're YouTube name is Vanjess24 and they've covered other songs, which are all AMAZING! Check them out. 

Some mo' poems

I wish I had more free time to finish all the poems Ive started but summer school ends tomorrow so maybe then I'll hop on that. But I have finished a couple so here they are world! Dear Cupid was inspired by a song called "Ready for Love" by India Arie

Nichole
Theres a glow that radiates off her when she walks
Shes like a walking masterpiece
She may not be complete bbut you cannot deny
She is just as amazing as the Mona Lisa, or better
They say you cant choose your family, but this is just Gods great wisdom at work
For there is no way in my humanly nature I could have picked her.
There could never be a better shoulder to cry on,
Never be anyone better at giving advice
Never be anyone more beautiful inside and out.
My other half is not my "soulmate"
My other half is this beautiful soul God gave me.
God in his infinite wisdome is the only one who could send me the perfet sister.
Who is the lighthouse during my storms,
Noodle soul for my soul
She is more than a sister,
She is a special gift from God made just for me.

Dear Cupid
Dear Cupid, I know you probably have alot of work but I wanted to let you know Im still here. Just waiting for you to work your magic.
I thought maybe you accidently accidently skipped my file as you were working
Because you seem to have gotten to everyone else gotten to evryone else at my age.
Janice, Amy, Camille the list goes on.
Then I thought maybe you just weren't sure of my 'specifications'
So don't worry Ill just write them right here so its no hassle for you.
Id like a smart, charming, funny, good-looking etc.
Just make sure hes a ten!
And if you're you waiting for the "right time"
Could we somehow expedite the process? Thanks!

Sincerly,
Cupid-forgotten

Chemistry during the summer? Eh, why did I do that to myself?

 I sat in chemistry class with my hand raised ready to answer any question. Maybe it was then that I realized how much I liked it. Or maybe it was when I was the only person in class to receive a perfect score on the written part of our unit test. All I knew was I liked it way more than I planned and it was making me incredibly uncomfortable. It wasn't supposed to happen like this, this was only supposed to be a back up plan. I had my future mapped out down to that last minute. "You cant just decide to change your mind, the time for exploring careers has come and gone" I continued to tell myself and tried to push my new love to the back of my head. I will be teacher! I will study social sciences! Those are the only things you love! But no matter what my head said my heart was in chemistry, if I walked away I would be walking away from my heart. So I reluctantly began considering the careers in chemistry. To my dismay it only created more confusion in my head. I could mix and chemistry and psychology in a single career. Only one things was certain, I was going to stick to my motto,"I am my brother's keeper". I was sure I was going to make a difference in the world. So I started looking at colleges that fit all my needs, even if I wasn't sure what they were yet. I think I found the one, but more importantly I began to find who I was and who I want to be. I was open to explore any and everything. While, I cant tell you  the exactly what Ill be doing in twenty years I can tell you I can tell you that I know who I am now and who I want to be in twenty years and that is someone making a difference in whatever career path I choose.
