Head down as I watch my feet take turns entering the next season of my life, summer. I’m ready to take on my own responsible and learn to become independent, but I have to overcome one obstacle my childish behavior. Just the other day I was at the movies with my friends and they started to tease me and I began to get mad and didn’t want to watch the movie anymore, so to get them to stop I stared whining and acting real childish, so they can leave me alone and they did.
Describing me, I say you can’t I’m too hard to define. People may think I’m mature and serious while others may think I’m to silly and that I need to grow up. Well I say I’m in the end of spring beginning of summer, the month of May. May is the month that feels like summer but it’s not summer yet, which reminds me of me. I say I’m in the month of May because I am ready and prepared to take the next step. I’m there I just need a push.
My childish way sometimes can be good and bad. Sometimes I do learn from my childish behavior. And when I think back like wow what I did was really childish what is my mom going to think about it, I began to think about the consequences. Now I am realizing that I have to stop and take on my own actions. Like Lizabeth in the story “Marigolds” when she sneaks out the window and pulls Miss. Lotties marigolds out then looks Miss. Lotties in the face and realizes that it is time to grow up.
Responsible I always been, every since the first day my mom sent me to catch the bus to go pay the telephone since “I’m always talking on it’. Then when I returned safely she told me that I will be sending to pay the bills for now on. Just my mom having me do a big task, and thinking I was responsible enough mad me feel more responsible and proud of myself. After that task more responsibilities came after that, like watching my baby brother and making sure everything was tidied up when she came home.
Finally I am ready to be more responsible, make my own way and make my own mistakes. Realizing that my childish behavior needs to stop although it does get me my way. Decision making, job, friends and new found smarts. Can’t wait for summer hear I go, I’m in.

Service Learnig reflection 2/18/09
My service learning group is Franks for Frankie, and yesterdays meeting did not go as planned. Unfortunatly my service learning advisor had gotten sick and went home. The person she left in charge was not taking charge. She did not mention how they wanted to do a school wide carnival,Ms.Thompson had to come in and tell us. If she couldnt handle the task she should of told Miss.D and she could have left someone elese in charge. So Ian took over the leader role and thought up ideas of how we can raise money for the carnival. We assigned what we were gong to be able to bring like, napkins, sodas, chips etc. Hopefully the next meeting will be a success.

Essay poem
Why do we keep feelings bottled up, I mean are we afraid of the outcome, are we scared of our own feelings. Feelings what are they and why so many. But one in particular catches my eye and that’s sorrow, sorrow is a sad emotion. I recently read a poem “If there be sorrow” by Mari Evans, a poem that makes me wonder about my emotions especially sorrow, there are many definitions but it is still hard to define. This poem has feeling probably because this poem is about a feeling itself. Life flows through this poem, it had me thinking why do we feel sorrow and why do we have emotions anyway. Up’s and downs is a part of life and with
that sometimes comes sorrow.
First off the first line of this poem takes me away “If there be sorrow let it be”, this line is
telling one to express themselves. Sorrow, don’t bottle it up with other feelings competing to be expressed and let out. Let it be and let it go. Mari Evans I believe wrote this poem for people who struggle with their emotions and expressing them.
Mari Evans wrote this poem for life and the emotions that comes along with it. In this poem she list things as “undone, undreamed, unrealized, unattained”. What she list is a few of how one may feel sorrow out of life.
An emotion that this poem is based on is sorrow, sorrow can mean more that what one may think. People can fell sorrow from everyday tragedies like losing someone in a car accident to just not being able to follow their dreams. Dreams when crush people feel depressed and depression brings on sorrow.
Finally to me she defines sorrow and kind of creates a picture, but only gives you a few examples and the picture is not that clear. Sorrow is an emotion that is sometimes hard to show and hard to contain. When all that’s said and done it is what it is. This poem is short but it says a lot. Life is all about sorrow along with other emotions. Feelings are apart of being human and dealing with life, so deal with it.
