Save a Soul And Stop Bullying

What am I counting you ask....

Save a Soul And Stop Bullying
Sierra Sands Unified School District

Judge. Tease.

Two murderers lurking a school's halls.

Attacking an innocent heart.

That one soul that didn't know why he had to be the target.

That one little soul walking up the stairs to class.

In a new school and just needs to know that he is not alone in the world.

One, two, three, four, five.

What am I counting you ask....

How many steps that little soul hit after being tripped from the sidelines.

Hoping he's oblivious to the other students in the class

The little soul sits and tries to concentrate.

One, two, three, four, five.

What am I counting you ask....

How many spitballs hit that innocent soul's face sending him crying out into the halls.

Staring at his reflection he wonders why me.

Searching for answers within every crease of his skin.

One, two, three, four, five.

What am I counting you ask....

How many tears dropped from those crimson eyes.

Walking in the halls hoping to make it to his locker.

The world passes by in a blur from his swift pace.

One, two, three, four, five.

What am I counting you ask....

How many names but the little soul's own flew towards his nervous body.

Walking home seeing his house in sight.

The view is quickly blocked by four merciless bullies.

One, two, three, four, five.

What am I counting you ask....

How many punches each bully made only stopping after hearing the scream of a petrified mother.

Lying in that all white hospital room the little soul dreamed of heaven.

Hooked to many different machines.

One, two, three, four, five.

What am I counting you ask....

The steady beat of the little soul's heart.

Let out of the hospital back into that cold, heartless world

The little soul walked wondering if it wanted to enter it again.

One, two, three, four, five.

What am I counting you ask....

The minutes that felt like hours as they walked to the car.

Sitting in his room the little soul wanted to yell out how he felt about the world.

Anger swelled his insides because he knew no one cared enough to listen.

One, two, three, four, five.

What am I counting you ask....

How many things were broken or destroyed by the little soul's angry hands.

The little soul sat down and escaped to his mind.

Knowing this was the only place he could ever be safe.

One, two, three, four, five.

What am I counting you ask....

How many hours of silence passed before the little soul's mother rushed in worried her baby had left her forever.

The little soul ran out the door before his mother could even touch him.

He ran until he found what he was looking for and went up those 20 flights of stairs.

One, two, three, four, five.

What am I counting you ask....

How many hours passed before the little soul had made up his mind.

As he stood on the ledge he let himself know that this is the end.

As he was falling he felt like all the tension was being pushed out of his body into the air.

One, two, three, four, five.

What am I counting you ask....

How many seconds it took for the little soul's body to connect with the ground.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
