Small Town Girl

My story starts when my once upon a time came true; when I met my four best friends and when I learned the meaning of the word: study. You know how at the beginning of movies music is playing in the background? Well if I was in a movie my song would be the song that goes:
“Just a small town girl living in a lonely world she took the midnight train that goes on and on and on and on…” Because where I come from is the smallest town in one of the smallest states: Huntington, Vermont. Yesterday I got off the bus like I normally do when all of a sudden a reporter from the Channel 3 News slammed a microphone into my face and asked me three questions:
“What does it mean to be a Vermonter?”
“What would you change about Vermont?”
“What’s the most important thing about your life in Vermont?”

My Pride

My Pride

By Warren Ouellette, age 9 (4th Grade, The Renaissance School)

About Pride

Pride is…
bad, evil, sin, hiss;
simple as that.

Pride will bring…
failure, breakdown, destruction, chaos;
that’s all it’s good for.

With pride…
success, achievement, triumph, victory;
it all won’t come so easy.

Without it…
family and friends;
they’ll be at your side.

Pride

Take pride in one's own country,

take pride in one's own life,

take pride in your respect,

cause it can put away the knife.

Take pride in one's own doings,

take pride in where you go,

take pride in your respect,

cause it can stop the loathes.

Take pride in one's own secrets,

take pride in your respect

take pride in your life

Cause it only happens once

untitled

He wrote me a letter

He used words like:
Love
Perfect
Beautiful

FOREVER

He curled his letters
dotted
everyi
crossed
everyt

Perfect hearts in every corner
looked as though they would
