Tests

Tests

By Katelyn Robertello
Mount St. Joseph Academy, Grade 9

As you walk in to class and sit down at your desk, your teacher comes in and tells you to take out a piece of paper and a pen. You look around and you can feel your heart start to race. You try to think of what you have learned in the past week. You try to look at your notes one more time before you take the test. You put your notes away as your teacher passes out your test. OH NO! You look at the test. "What is this?" you ask yourself. "Is it French, oh wait is it math?" You start your first question. You think your test will be a mess but surprisingly it was easy. As you hand in your test and walk away you think that you aced that test!

Fear

Fear

By Ryan Cassidy
Mount St. Joseph Academy, Grade 9

Fear can be a thing that is only in our heads
Like a nightmare while we’re in bed
You can have a fear of suffering
Or a fear from fear itself
Overall, fear is not fun for anyone
You need to always remember
To never let fear control your life
Live life the way you want to live it

Summer Time Rap

Summer Time Rap

By Katelyn Robertello
Mount St. Joseph Academy, Grade 9

When the school is loud and you feel the heat
When you know that it could be kind of neat
If school would be let out in a heart beat
But you know that the summer is near
What did you say that it's final here?
I get out of my desk
It is best
Feeling in the world
Your friends are pumped
And their spirits are high
It feels like summer time is going to fly
We are all excited as we walk out the door
Until our principle says
Wait aren’t you gonna stay some more
We say no way
Now we are on our way
To say that summer is here
Hip Hip Hurray!

Summer

"I'm bored." I said to my friend on a smoldering summer day. 2000 was hot summer, so all we had the energy to do was sit on the porch and let the sweat drip off us. Her dad exited the house, and we asked were he was going, with hopes it was somewhere fun. "The farm." he replied. "You girls wanna’ come?" "Yes sir!" we retorted.

Thats the Last Time I Will Ever

That's the Last Time I Will Ever

By Briana Patten
Mount St. Joseph Academy, Grade 9

I just got back form my basketball game that was two hours away, and after having one sub throughout the whole game, I was wiped out. Annoyingly enough, I had about two hours of homework, and three tests to study for,but I knew there was no way I could think until I got some sleep.

New York City

I was ten when I first visited New York City. It was September I do believe, and my mother and I took a bus trip into the city with her work. I didn’t really travel much, besides when I visited relatives, so I was quite excited. We gathered at the bus around five in the morning, but I was too frenzied to be tired. Once the whole crew boarded up, we started off on the adventure.
