A place to show my work

My favorite type of weather is when it’s sunny outside, with just the right temperature—not too hot and not too cold. It’s the perfect day to enjoy the outdoors, maybe go for a walk or have a picnic!


Macklemore & Ryan Lewis’s song “Thrift Shop,” featuring Wanz, is more than just a catchy tune; it’s a fun celebration of thrift store finds and unique fashion.
In the lyrics, Macklemore humorously points out the crazy prices of popular fashion. He shares funny stories about the cool items you can find at thrift stores, reminding us that you don’t need to spend a lot to look good.
Musically, the song mixes hip-hop and pop, featuring a catchy saxophone part that feels classic. Wanz’s smooth singing in the chorus adds to the song, making it really stick in your mind.
“Thrift Shop” is all about being smart with money while also challenging materialism, giving a fun and relaxed view on fashion and self-expression. Its success reflects a growing movement towards sustainability and individuality in what we wear.
Check it out and let me know what you think!

I may look ragged, it could be
From the lack of sleep that evades me nightly.
Dark circles framed by weary sighs,
As dreams slip away under starry skies.


Like a star
Like a hug
Hug a bug
Hug a bear
Bear like love
Bear in home
Home sweet home
Home on the range
Range of motion
Range of feeling
Feeling joy
Feeling Loved
Loved of family
Loved of friends
Friends for life
Friends to the end
End of time
End of Day
Day of the dead
Day of week
Week of sunshine
Week of work
Work at home
Work hard
Hard life
Hard times
Time flies
Time for fun
Fun times
Fun for all
All the way
All in
In the zone
In the game
Game time
Game of Life
Life is beautiful
Life in Motion
Motion pictures
Motion figure
Figure it out
Figure on the wall
Wall of dreams
Wall of colors
Colors of your heart
Color of the wind
Wind through the trees
Wind whispers softly
Softly…
Trees…


Words like whispers in the night,
Each line a lesson, taking flight.
Sorrow and joy, stitched with care,
In every verse, the heart lays bare.
A tapestry woven with dreams and pain,
Lessons echo, like gentle rain.
In poetry’s embrace, we find our way,
A guiding light in the break of day.

Aunt Maria wore a bright coat as she navigated the maze of her garden. She hoped to qualify for the pie contest this year. Inspired by a Latin recipe, she added exotic spices, transforming her dish. As the judges tasted it, she wondered if her secret ingredient would impress them.


My most influential teacher was Ms. Lowry. From the very first day in her class, she created an environment that was warm and welcoming, making it easy for us to express ourselves without fear of judgment. What truly set her apart was her unwavering belief in each of her students, including me.
There were times when I struggled academically and doubted my abilities. However, Ms. Lowry always saw potential in me that I couldn’t recognize in myself. She took the time to provide extra help, encouraging me to ask questions and explore my ideas thoroughly. Her feedback was always constructive and insightful, which motivated me to improve and take risks in my learning.
Thanks to her belief in me, I gained confidence and developed a love for learning that continues to drive me today.


An elastic bag
Holding items
Safely tucked inside,
Treasures and snacks,
With nothing to hide.
It stretches and bends,
Embracing with care,
A keeper of memories,
Always ready to share.

Your three words today are:
CATCH
THROW
HURL

The joy of games,
When I was younger,
I’d throw, catch, and hurl a ball
With my relatives,
A game we created
When we gathered together.
Oh, how I miss those days;
They feel like long past dreams.
I sit here now,
Remembering those good times,
Each memory a warm embrace.


There once was a lion named Leo,
Who lounged in the sun like a hero.
With naptime his plan,
He dreamt on the sand,
As lazy as laziness can go!

Your words are:
play, toy, companion, silence, hint, solitary, box, ring, adult, skill, young, knack.

In a box of memories, a toy lies in wait,
A companion from youth, a hint of fate.
In silence, it whispers of laughter and play,
A skill and a knack for the simple, brightening the day.
A solitary ring shines with stories untold,
Echoes of joy from the brave and the bold.
Though time may have passed as we’ve grown into young adults,
The play of our childhood is life’s sweetest song.


I often think about how much I want to spend more time being creative every day. There are so many things I enjoy doing, drawing pictures, writing and working on different projects. When I get the chance to express myself through these activities, I always feel happier and more alive.
