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.
By Anna
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
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
We stood so tall
As one nation, one family, one son.
By Anna (12th grade)
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)
