I Am Poem Cody

I am curious and adventurous.

I wonder what new adventures lie ahead in life

I hear Mother nature singing a sweet melody every were
i go.

I see Gods creations and Mother natures beauty every
were i look.

I want to help change the world by helping people no matter
whats the cost is.

I am curious and adventurous.



I imagine the world were there less hatred.

I feel happy when everyone's at peace with each other.

I touch the soft silky fur of my puppy named Milo.

I worry when other are herting.

I cry when people close to me pass away.

I am curiuos and adventurous



I understand rules and boundries

I say everyones equal

I dream of forest scenes to the sound of mother nature.

I tty to sread happiness and joy

I hope i find my true love

I am curious and adventurous.

Two -tone Poem Cody

Some days I am a bright tree Green

When I am joyful, and giving spreading
joy and happiness.

Or Hyper and excited I move around like the tops
of trees in a wind storm.

Other days I am a Lemon Yellow

When I am happy and can't stop laughing and smiling even
if someones trying to bring me down.

Or caring and giving to others emotions.

Today I am both yellow and green both are happy as can be.

Iyans peom 2

Other days I feel like white lighting.
When I am like white lighting I’m unpredictable or really happy.
Today I am like white lightning.

It looks two friends at a rock concert.
Friendship feels like a roller coaster

I am by Carolina

I am exiting, curiouse
I wonder how I am going to look like when i am older
I hear birds in the morning singing
I see the mountains from all the way over here
I want to go to collage and earn good money
I am exiciting,curiouse
I imagine peace in our world
I feel exicted to go to lagoon
I touch my boyfriends hands
I worry something bad will happen to my family
I cry when one of my friends or famly dies
I am exciting and curiouse
I understand that if you want something you work hard to earn it

Iyan's poem

Chips & Cards">Chips & Cards" border="0" alt="" />
I am independent and kind.
I wonder if I’m real or part of a dream.
I hear the engine of a harly.
I see a valley on a mountain.
I want to be a poker pro.
I am independent and kind.
I imagine me hunting the biggest elk of my life.
I feel joy when I’m with friends.
I touch the poker chips.
I worry that I won’t see my sisters.
I cry at the thought of losing my grandpa.
I am independent and kind.
I understand that if you don’t chase after something you lose it.
I say if you try you succeed.
I hope that I make it past 40.
I am independent and kind.

I feel loved and cared about.
I touch my boyfriend (dont think nasty).
I worry that I can't do what I want.
I cry when I fight with my boyfriend.
I am curious and very clean.

I understand that it takes a long time to get from my boyfriends to my house.
I say that you can be my friend and hang out with poeple I don't like.
I dream to have a big house on the beach in Organ.

Defining the Soul by Iyan

The soul in many terms is defined as our personalities. Just like our personalities our souls can be forged to match us. Over the years the soul binds and twists to differnt ways of life. Also it gets harder and harder to forge our soul. Until one day it finally brakes from the body and sores through the air into the after life. That is how I define the soul.

My life goals! By Cody

I am going to talk about "My life goals",what i can do reach them,how
others can help me reach them too.Those are the main ideas iam going
to talk about.

MY life goals are: To succed in school, To graduate from high, And then
go to law school, And when i turn 21 years old i'am going to go to th
police academy to become a police officer. But if that doesn't work out
i'am going to try to become a lawyer.

What i can do to to reach my goals.
I can work hard in school to get good grades so i can get a good job.
I can also find programs thats can help me reah my career goals.
I can also reach my goals by staying away from and out of trouble.

How others can help me reach my goals.
Others can help by supporting me and my goals in life.
Others can help by, heling find programs that can help me
reach my goals.Others can help by helping me with my homework
or help me pay my way into law school.

This articel was about "What My life Are",what i can do to reach my goals,
and how others can help me reach my goals.

street racing by corey

Street racing is one of my favorite things to do. Every friday and saturday night my brother and I go racing. First we go to the store and get drinks and food then we go to chevron and meet up with all the racers. After all the racers are there we go race the other cars. Most of the time we race from twenty to fifty m.p.h. If thereare no cops we do quarter of a mile drag races but usually the cops come and we have to leave.

Indoor Football by Corey

I'm going to play indoor football until high school football starts. I havn't started yet but our first game is on June 5th. I'm going to play running back and defensive back. The reason why I want to play running back is because I love to juke people and run them over. When you play running back you can't be scared to get hit because you get tackled a lot. I hope my team goes to the playoffs because I want to try to win the championship trophy.

Shakespeare by Carolina

I think ninth graders should learn about Shakespeare. I even got interested in it. At first I thought it was going to be lame, but when I started reading the book it caught my attentoin. I started reading more and more and to tell you the truth I kinda liked it. I think I enjoy reading Romeo and Juliet. I can't even explain how much I like the feeling right now.

the best weekend ever! by Cody

I'am going to tell you about my weekend with my brother Chad,my little nephew Chris,
and my friend Derek.

Well last weekend my brother,my nephew,and my firend derek and I went to my first
Utah Blaze game and had the grestest time.And we got free stuff like a rally towel, for those
who don't know what that is, it is a towel that has the teams name or lgo on it and when your
team scores or dose something good you wave your towel in the air to support your favorite
teams.

My brother and I also played a game this game at the blaze game .The game is , you
have to throw a football into one of three holes and if you make you get two free tickets to
any blaze game,but you you can win no matter what because you can play untel you win.
But the best part about the game was that Utah Blaze won 70 to 51, and we got to get
the teams autographs.

To Carolina

Carolina you are so nice to me and I want to just let you know that you are the best friend so I love you just like you love me and I want to tell you gracias.

The sorrows of friends by Iyan

Someone at our school died. When I first heard about it I was in Mrs. Kuhn's room. I saw some of the girl's friends were there. One of them blamed herself for her death. I could see the sadness in thier eyes. When I left the room I thought of my one friend you commited suicide and how I blamed myself for his death. I still regret not going to his funeral.

This story is dedicated to Cha Cha.

Deron Williams by corey

Deron Williams is the jazz starting point guard. He has been with the jazz for three years and started two of those three years.
He is my favorite point guard of all time. The things that I like about him is he never gets mad at his team or the other team if they do something wrong, and my most favorite things are is when he does all of his moves to get to the hoop. I think in a couple of years he will get the M.V.P award. I hope that he will stay with the jazz for a long time because if the jazz are losing he does everything he can to try and get them to win.

Whirligig Review by Ms. George


This week I read Whirligig by Paul Fleischman. I loved the message of this book. To me, the theme is summed up perfectly on page 70. Fleischman wrote, “The effects of an act traveled far beyond one’s knowledge. Everything we did – good, bad, and indifferent – sent a wave rolling out of sight. He wondered what his own accounting, generations later, would look like.” I tell my students this same message weekly. I ask them, “How are you going to contribute to your community? Are your contributions going to make your community a better place or a worse place?” A lot of the time my students reply, “I don’t do anything. I don’t make contributions.” I try to explain to them that all actions, or inaction, shape the world we live in. I think this book will help them see that.

My 15 by Diana

For my 15 birthday party my dress is going to be blue. The tuxedos for my chambelanes are going to be blue with black. They are going to look so handsome at the party. I'm also going to ride a Hummer limo. My party is going to last from 5:00pm-1:00am. It's going to be so much fun. If I see my parents crying that day I'll probably start crying too. Man I can't wait until my sweet 15. =D

Love by Carolina


Love is so beautiful once you know who is the right person, but not all people belive in love. For example, like me. I gave up on love because some guys love you so much they even cry in front of you or in front of your friends. But other ones just play around with your heart. You gave them everything and they just take advantage of you. You think they love you, but they really don't. On the other hand, love is a beautiful thing to share it with that one person that you might spend the rest of your life with.

Africa by Corey

Hey Selver,
Africa is so cool! There are huge lions, giraffs, and many other animals. There are many things to do in Africa. I wish that you could come and hang out with me here. But before you come here you have to get eight stinging shots in your arm, but that doesn't hurt forever. People here are really nice and they teach you alot of things.

See you soon, Corey

An American Plague by Ms. George

Victims from the Influenza Epidemic of 1918

A few years ago, I got on a plague/epidemic kick. At that time, I read half-a-dozen books all about diseases. Some of these books included:
This week I was assigned to read An American Plague: The True and Terrifying Story of the Yellow Fever Epidemic of 1793 by Jim Murphy for my adolescent literature class. Like the other titles, this book was terrifying.

Jim Murphy described, in detail, the symptoms of Yellow Fever and the panic that gripped the city of Philadelphia during the 1793 epidemic. Murphy wrote, "The skin and eyeballs turned yellow, as red blood cells were destroyed, causing the bile pigment bilirubin to accumulate in the body; nose, gums, and intestines began bleeding; and the patient vomited stale, black blood" (pages 13-14). How could I not recommend this book?

I also have to recommend Fever, 1973 by Laurie Halse Anderson. This book is historic fiction. It follows the lives of fictional and historical people during Philadelphia's Yellow Fever Epidemic of 1973.

American Born Chinese


I just finished reading American Born Chinese, a graphic novel by Gene Luen Yang. Although I had never read a graphic novel (nor was I planning on doing so), I had to because it was assigned in my adolescent literature class. The novel contains three different stories that cleverly weave together in the end. It contained a lot of humor and had an important message about accepting who you are and overcoming the desire to fit in. I highly recommend it!!

To read more about American Born Chinese or Yang's other books, click HERE.

One of my favorite pages.

Rachel's Challenge by Ms. George

Our school has recently started the program Rachel's Challenge. This program is ran by the family of Rachel Scott, a victim of the Columbine shootings. On January 30th, the student body at our school was introduced to the program and challenged to accept "Rachel's Challenge." By accepting the challenge, students promise to:

1. Eliminate Prejudice by Looking for the Best in Others
2. Dream - Set goals, Write goals, and Keep a journal
3. Choose positive Influences
4. Use Kind Words and Small Acts of Kindness
5. Start a Chain Reaction with Family and Friends

These 5 challenges were described in detail during a one-hour assembly. The student body was excellent during the assembly. They were attentive and quiet. Plus, I didn't see any cell phones or I-Pods - this is miraculous. After the assembly the students had a lot of positive things to say about the challenge. I think it will be an important program to help bring the student body together.

A Rainy Day by Ms. George


Yesterday when I looked outside, I noticed it was raining. The sky was dark and gloomy. As I went to grab my red umbrella, I heard a crack of thunder that made me jump. Because I did not want to get muddy, I put on my old boots. I also grabbed my black raincoat. Now, I was ready for the rainy walk to school.

Football by Corey




Football is my second favorite sport. Since I play football for Hillcrest that is my favorite high school. I am going to try out for the sophmore team next year in the summer. The coaches look at your grades from fourth quarter this year and you have to get a two point zero grade avrage. I want to play quarter back and corner or receiver. Any position that I get I will be happy because I just want to play. My favorite team is the Dallas Cowboys. They are in the playoffs and I hope they go to the Superbowl.

Fav. Movie by Miche



I have a lot of fav. movies, but this one movie I love the most. Its called Pumpkinhead. It is a good movie. It is a scary movie, but I don't think it is that scary.

This movie is about 4 people that want revenge on 6 people that killed their love ones. So they went to a witch and she brings to life Pumpkinhead. It will go out and kill the 6 people that they want dead and anyone that gets in the way. The only way you can kill it is if you kill the 4 people that want revenge. When you kill Pumpkinhead, the last person that dies turns into Pumpkinhead. It's a really good movie. I love that movie.

Adolescent Literature by Ms. George

I'm currently enrolled in an Adolescent Lit class through BYU. Throughout the course we will be reading a dozen different books written for teenagers. I just finished the first book, Shipwreck at the Bottom of the World: The Extraordinary True Story of Shackleton and the Endurance by Jennifer Armstrong. It was an excellent book. It tells the true story of Ernest Shackleton's attempt to cross the continent of Antarctica. Attempt is the key word there because Shackleton and his boat Endurance never even made it to Antarctica (the boat became trapped in frozen ice 100 miles of the coast). The book tells the amazing survival story of Endurance's crew as they were trapped at the bottom of the world for almost 20 months!! Here's how Armstrong ended the book:

Shackleton had failed in his mission. And yet what he and his crew did succeed in doing in 1915-1916 was one of the most incredible feats of survival ever recorded. Every stage of their journey seemed more remarkable than the last. From January 1915, when Endurance was trapped in the ice, during its helpless drift through the Weddell Sea and its destruction in October, to the crew's long, miserable months of camping on the ice, the Boss had held his men together under terrible conditions. Their three-boat passage in April 1916 to Elephant Island was accomplished in spite of enormous odds. The voyage of the James Caird over 800 miles of winter ocean rivals any small-boat journey in history. Shackleton's trek across the unmapped peaks of South Georgia was the first in that hostile mountain range, and the survival of the crew in their hut on Elephant Island over one Antarctic winter is almost too much to believe. And yet it all happened Shackleton brought them all home.

Anyways, I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a fast and fascinating read. Here are a few pictures I found of Shackleton, his crew, and the Endurance:

My 15 Anos Party by Carolina

I had so much fun at my party. Everyone was dancing and having fun. I danced all night. I got lots of gifts from all my family and friends. I saw some of my friends on Monday and most of them were limping because thier legs hurt from all the dancing. They also said that my party was the best and that they loved it. They loved the food and the music. I was really thankful to have my 15 and then the next day of my party was my birthday. It was fun both of the days.

I LOVED IT SO MUCH!!!!!!

Texas by Corey


I was born in Dallas, Texas. I lived there with my aunt until my mom and I had to move to Utah. My dad was with me until I was three years old. It was so much fun living in Dallas because there is always something to do, but the only bad thing is it gets really hot. The other bad thing is there are no mountains so you can't go snowboarding. I have a lot of family in Texas. That's why I want to move back there so bad. One day I hope to go back there and stay with my family.

Holidays By WB

Over the holidays I didn't do much. I started to sleep in late. Then I tried to find something to do besides videogames and T.V. I had some fun parties just hanging out with friends/family. I lasted 8 days with out playing W.o.W. As I said before I didn't do much.

Gifts I got:
1. PSP (really fun).
2. Bottle of Mona Vie (really good health drink).
3. $25 gift card to Target.
Those were really great gifts.
Over all I had a okay holiday break, can't wait until the next break.

Utah Jazz by Corey



My second favorite team is the Utah Jazz. There is not one player that I don't like from the Jazz. I have season tickets to every home game with my friend Darron and his dad. Sometimes we get stuff when the Jazz Bear or other people throw them to where we sit. Ever since I was little I've always loved to watch and play basketball. It's my favorite sport. I hope to be a profesional basketball player when I'm older. I think the best player on the Jazz is Deron Williams. He is the point guard for the Jazz. Jerry Sloan doesn't play rookies a lot so all the players that they get from college usually don't play until their first year has gone by then they might play for a quarter. I hope that the Jazz make it to the playoffs this year and win the finals.
