Questions about Life?

I always wondered about how many questions we hear everyday just think about your life time. It is impossible to count and keep track of the popular questions, so I decided to post questions that I hear or say all the time.

1. Do you like this?
2. Is it him?
3. Is it far?
4. Has the mail come yet?
5. What about dinner?
6. What is the price?
7. Is that where you live?
8. Why is the traffic backed up?
9. Can you afford it?
10. What am I doing here?
11. What time is it?
12. Are we there yet?
13. Can we go home?
14. Is it difficult or easy?
15. Do we turn here?
16. Who do you trust?
17. Why me?
18. Whats your name?
19. What inspires you?
20. What makes you happy?
21. What makes you cry?
22. Why did you choose us?
23. What does love feel like?
24. What are the plans for tonight?
25. What are we doing this weekend?

These are only some examples of questions that you would hear in life.

Now for the biggest question of all. What is our purpose in life?

This is a video of a motivational speaker talking about life.

I love writing raps but I could never beat this guy in writing a rap because he is using his experiences and teaching everyone through rap

What can you learn from others without really even trying at first?

Today I am going to write about someone very close to my heart. Her name is Ms. Hallman and she is such a wonderful person. She is actually my job coach and we work together at Homewood Suites in Valley Forge. I want to thank her for her patience and just believing in me when I thought I couldn't do a good job. She taught me something that I am thankful for and that is believing in yourself, and self confidence. I also want to thank her because I wouldn't be out in the working world without her experience and tips/lessons. I thought I would never have to see us separated but that thought changed on October 18th when I found out she is leaving for 6 months for treatment. I was devastated but most of all speechless. I got the news on my shift at homewood and I was so upset that I tried to avoid her for awhile. But, then I thought to myself about what I should do and I figured it out. I went to find her and I started telling her all the good memories at homewood and I also decided to get my act together because I figured out my role in her life for the time being. I am going to be her support and foundation just as she was for me. She needs all the support she can get and I know I am the perfect solution. I also talked to her boss about throwing her a get well gathering before she leaves and I got it approved. I also wrote her a letter and gave her a book about dogs and their heroism. Then I asked her something that I think touched her heart. "What would you say if you don't have to leave this job?" She responded, "What?" I said " Well I might be crazy but I have this idea that might actually work. This idea is what if I made a Film once every month to tell you how homewood is doing and so your friends and coworkers can talk to you." She responded, "That is one crazy idea but I love it." I then said well you just got yourself a deal." That day I put a smile on her face and right then I knew I was on the right path.
Here I am today still putting that smile on her face and keeping her and I out of the dumps. I will do anything to help her, but I didn't know that when I help her I also help myself. She is the bravest person I ever met because this is just her first time getting sick its her second time and she still has the same attitude. That attitude is " I will be back because I am going to beat this once and for all."

My Poetry Continued

Hello, again, sorry for not writing anything yesterday but I was actually writing more poems to be able to post today. I wrote a lot so get ready to read.

Existance

Is life just a story written by god?

Do we really exist or are we fake and odd?

Can we really touch, feel, think and breathe?

Is it real or just a simple fantasy?

If nothing existed ever again,

What would become of the world in the end?

Would God still be here with all the people in heaven,

Shining down on nothing that could ever be given?

Can we find each other when we die?

Or do our bodies just lie and decay side by side?

Who or what created god and the person before HE was here?

Did HE just appear out of the atmosphere?

Our detailed lives may eventually be gone,

But they will become stories to pass on

And the absorbed knowledge may guide oncoming paths

To the future society that listens to the voice of the past.

As each moment passes and we learn more,

The answer is slowly showing its secretive core

That life and existance is what we want it to be

Whether we live it by rules or just being free!

By Anna

Oh Majestic Sky

The clouds outside are oh so puffy

Like a sheep, all light and fluffy

When I look to the sky the color's never the same

A brilliant beauty I'd fancy to frame

The sky is a majestic sea of wonder

The colors, the clouds, even the thunder

No matter how near

No matter how far

I look up...and there you are

Oh Majestic Sky

Beneath your watch I lie

Until the day that I

spread my wings and fly!

By Anna

Life

Life should always be lived to the fullest

Chasing dreams, making sure nothing is missed

From giving a helpful hand to changing the world

We can all make a difference, we just have to give it a whirl

For life we must give thanks and commend

Because all good things must come to an end

No one really knows where we will next venture

Death is just the next Adventure.

By Anna

Acceptance

In this world we live in,

Everyone wants to be accepted.

No one wants to have that feeling,

That pain of being rejected.

We all want to be that somebody,

and we try to conform.

We kill that person inside of us,

Leaving our spirit unborn.

Be yourself...do not change,

Uniqueness will keep you strong.

Because acting and being fake,

is just plain wrong.

By Anna

Heart

Trust your heart,

It won't let you down.

Listen to it,

it won't ever lie.

Know its every beat,

It's the drum you walk to.

By Anna

The Play

People are waiting

Auditions at 3

Getting so Nervous

I really have to pee

As 8th period begins

The list is hung up

Waiting to see

I'm trying to stay up

Practices start

Problems we mend

Friends we make

Working together to the end

the show is soon

Our hard work has shown

Behind back stage we wait

Voices real low

Lights, Camera, Action

The show begins

In the end its all worth it

Because we all win.

Living with Autism

Living with Autism is a hard thing to do,
There will be times when you’re sad lonely and blue.
Guaranteed are times when you will miss understand,
Or get upset when things don’t go as planned.

You will find it hard to explain how you feel,
Instead you will just sit, scream and squeal.
You will soon be putting your toys in size order,
People may point or laugh,
But they don’t know about this disorder.

You will at times give your mum and dad a fright,
With throwing things, pulling your hair
And maybe the occasional bite.

Your mum and dad just need to understand
You’re not quite like the others.
This doesn’t mean they will love you less
Than they do your sister or brothers.

Living with Autism is a hard thing to do,
I should know, because I live with it too

About my internship at peoples light and theatre

Well, hello again. Today I decided to write a post about my internship at peoples light and theatre.
Before I  start rambling of about my internship, you should know a little background about this wonderful theatre. People's light and theatre is a non-profit professional theatre.  The theatre was founded in 1974 and it is in Malvern, Pennsylvania. This company produces 8 to 9 productions each season. On the Campus of Peoples light and theatre there are 2 stages. They are called the Main stage which seats about 350 people and the Steinbright Stage which is a smaller stage and it fits about 170 people. This company has approximately 25 resident actors and actresses. Many of the resident actors and actresses have won several barrymore awards in multiple catergories. Along with the resident actors and actresses they also have about 200 guest actors from all over the country. So, thats a little background of people's light but now its time to get to the exciting infomation on my internship. Well, I started my internship 3 weeks ago and I work every thursday afternoon from 12:30 until 2pm. I am working with the assistant director of marketing. In other words I am a marketing Intern. The first day I was introduced to everyone, and they are all so friendly and outgoing, which are the types of personalities you need in a theatre. After I met everyone I got my own personal tour, which was very informative. Then I put together press kits for the opening night of Don Quixote, which I will have to say was a great job for my first day. On my second day I put together mailing packages for the libraries, theatres, and churches. I filled the packages with a lot of Community Matters postcards and also 1 letter from peoples light and theatre in each package. I got all of them done with time to spare. Then on my third day I got assigned to make a blog which is this one. Yay! Througout my internship I will be putting together a documentary and taking some interviews which I hope to include on this Blog. Wow! I explained everything that happened so far! Well, down below I posted a video and a picture of peoples light and theatre hope you enjoy!

My Poetry

Real American Hero's

For every fallen solider

Who died in foreign land

To protect our freedom and liberty

United we should stand

You have earned our gratitude

for a hero we see in you
We stood so tall

As one nation, one family, one son.

Reflections

Yesterday I looked into a mirror

All I saw were tears, flowing from my face

My body overwhelmed with sadness

I realize all hope is gone, gone.....gone

Today, I looked out the window

with the bright sun shining on my face

I was waiting for this day

The pathway of my life finally lit up.

Then I knew where I was headed

All hope was gone but now its alive.

By Anna (12th Grade)
