"The Month Before Prom"

The month before prom was very stressful
With everything to do it was eventful
Gold award ceremony and things to buy
It was getting annoying like a fly

We had to have our money in for the prom house
I just wanted to crawl in a hole like a mouse
After I got paid I was very happy
I had enough money and didn't have to worry

Next was preparing my friend's birthday
We wanted to surprise her and we figured a way!
We are going to surprise her with a concert
And well surprise her with her favorite dessert

Prom weekend will come soon and I cannot wait
Have fun with all of my friends and my date
Hopefully we'll make memories we won't forget
And everything will go smoothly and no one will fret!

"Gold Award"

All this month I wish I had time to spare,

But a peaceful moment was very rare. 

My month consisted of my Gold Award,

With all I had to do I was never bored. 

It started with finalizing the list,

I had so much to do my mom was pissed.

After I had checked over everything,

Came the week of my break for spring.

Everyday I had to go babysit,

At night I would go shopping for the kit. 

Going through stores looking for this and that, 

"Could you tell me where I could find a bath mat?"

A few trips later I had everything,
I was almost able to enjoy spring. 

After a few days the project was done,

And spring break began to consist of fun.

'The List Grows Longer"

I thought last month was bad, but my mistake
This month dragged on, I thought "How long could it take?"
From Girl Scouts and school the work piled up,
Like a volcano about to erupt.

Every day it seemed to get worse and worse
My senior year just seemed like a big curse
The month got worse before it got better
My to-do list grew like a long letter.

My paper was first it had to be fixed,
and my gold award, nothing could get mixed.
I couldn't forget my drama prezi,
With so much to do, my desk was very messy.

Little by little everything got done,
and then the fun had finally begun.
I have just one project left to complete,
And my desk is beginning to look neat!

"Where to Start?'

This month was the busiest of this year

everything was a mess nothing was clear.

School, work, applications, girl scouts and more.

Where I should start? I wasn't even sure. 

There was papers and homework and  projects.

Who knows what would be assigned to me next.

Everything was starting to pile up

Like a volcano, ready to erupt 

I made a list of what I had to do

I knew that doing this wouldn't be fun. 

I did some research and wrote some essays

It felt like  everything would take some days

Little by little the pile was gone,

At the end of each day I began to yawn.

I learned to not let things get out of hand

Now I can relax and listen to a band. 

Midterms

Midterms were starting to come near
They were something I was beginning to fear.
Because of my classes I only had two,
I wish I had none even though I only had few.

On Wednesday I would have Caluculus
We were able to use a flashcard so that was a plus.
English would be on Thursday,
and then I'd be done and could go play!

We got the study guides and I started to worry
I began going through my notes in a hurry.
As the tests came closer I became scared,
My biggest fear is that I wouldn't be prepared.

I felt like I knew nothing for math,
I thought I would fail and I didn't want to go down that path.
I studied a lot and went for extra help,
And by the end I didn't want to yelp.

After tons of studying and practice the test day was here

I entered the the class room with a little bit of fear,
After an hour and a half I was done,
I wasn't sure how I did, the test wasn't very fun.

There wasn't much I could do
Just wait and hope I didn't get a two.
Now the midterm process is done,
Hopefully I can start having some fun!

ECD

I knew ECD would be an exciting class,
running a pre-school did not seem like a hard task.
We learned about kids and the way they behaved
setting up the classroom was something that could not be delayed.

As the first day became closer we started to worry,
trying to make sure everything was perfect in a hurry.
Name tags, book bags, and spots on the rug were assigned,
we would walk them to the room in a straight line.

Most seemed happy and excited,
but you could tell a few were frightened.
For the first day the parents were there,
we told them what would happen during pre school so they would be prepared.

Then on Thursday the kids came back,
but one would not leave his mother without a screaming attack.
Mrs.Beiner carried him up the stares as he struggled,
all the high schoolers looked at each other puzzled.

We were not sure what to do
none of us had a clue.
Then parents and a child came up late holding her favorite toy,
Mrs.Beiner had to go so she handed me the boy.

I rocked him back and forth trying to calm him down,
he cried repeating "Mom" until he did not make a sound.
He relaxed and played with out a problem not making a scene,
i hoped this would not turn into a daily routine.

The next few days with them was similar
the boy adjusted and we became familiar.
So far the class has been eventful
but I know it is something very special.

William Paterson University

Immediate Decision Day seems like a tough thing,

Going to the school and not knowing what the day would bring.

William Paterson University was my first Immediate Decision Day,

I wasn't sure if I should do it or just walk away.

My aunt went to college at WPU,

So what I heard about the school wasn't anything new.

I went online and started the application,

All these applications make me want to go on vacation!

I sent in the application and transcript form,

talked to my parents and decided I wouldn't dorm.

Finally the day was near,

I hoped, "You're accepted!" is what i would hear.

We got on the bus and headed to the school,

I was nervous but tried to keep cool.

We got there and I thought of what I would say,

nervous because today was a big day.

I walked in the office and talked to the Mr.Cano,

hoping in the end I wouldn't get a no.

I was in there for a few minutes

and then he had made his final decision.

I was accepted and it felt great,

knowing that I wouldn't have to wait.

It was my first acceptance and I told my parents right away,

Now one college and the worrying is out of the way!
