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
