Oh yes I did!

Proof that I went on the Northern Lights Ropes Course, when we were in WI last summer.

Not something I would normally do, but that's what you do when on vacation.

I didn't make it to the third story the second was good enough for me.

I did it!

And I don't ever have to do it again.

AVID

For the last three years Bre has participated in the AVID program.  Tonight they had an open house, the kids read poetry, did skits, a pay if forward promotion, a commercial they wrote, and so on and so on.  I loved Bres poem.

I AM POEM

I am... an AVID student.

My friends call me ...crazy..
I keep... my secrets to myself.
I remember...nothing.

I shout...only when I'm really mad.
I am...myself.

I hear...the world go by.
I taste...all the food I can eat.
I think...about school and my friends.

I whisper...in class.
I am...loving this poem so far.

I want...to succeed.
I will...reach my goals.
I can...try to multitask.
I pretend...to be tough and strong.

I sing...with all the voices of the mountain.
I am...hilarious.

I dream...of the future.
I'm afraid...of losing my friends.
I say I'm sorry...all the time.
I love...those I'm close to.

I declare for the world to hear... I will be successful, just watch me.
I am... Bre
