Just a few more reasons why I love and will miss all of my students...

Seniors are very different;
Severe expressions and uncomfortable squeaking.
Comfort zones leave
It feels good to be different
Not to emphasize the same feeling;
Community, accustomed, residence in groups
It's out.
Students are getting ready to leave.
They aren't uncomfortable.
They aren't nervous.
It's good to step out.
Tom, 18

The chance to pick
A do-over.
Checked past
Don't leave
the cost; choose for me
speak up!
Don't drop out.
Who won the lost me?
Who was the winner?
Colton, 17

What Lies Ahead
Strong start, hopefully
Engineering at the University of Illinois
Bright spot defined as college
My mind is a one lane street
Towards enrollment in the fall
First-time student, 4 more consecutive years
Strong finish, hopefully
Lauren, 18

3000 dead
Shattered capital
victims in floodplains
No hope, until Spring
Rainy disaster
Falling country
Collected killings
No hope, until Spring
Spring brings health
Brings life
Brings hope
We wait, until Spring.
Shahid, 18

Adjusting my accuracy
The corner pins are the difference.
Individuals in a competitive field,
Rolling towards strikes.
Average is no good ,
and a zero will not help.
700 Series at the Thunderbird Lanes

Very nice. I like the one about bowling - and the one about spring. Sorry to hear about the issues with your battery. Love, Dad.
