Backpack

of the community organizations that were started at home. I was really excited to find multiple articles over community organizations that Erath County has adopted into their system. Some of the options routes that these educators went with were Backpack Buddies and Food Pantries. These are vital to the children because not only does it provide food that they normally wouldn’t be getting from their parents but it also helps with their self esteem because these programs show that there is…

The only person I told about my iPod missing was my close friends. We would go about our day, class after class. During sixth period I asked again to both of my friends who sit in front of me if they saw anyone get backpack. No one said a thing and nodded their head signaling no. I went home again feeling disappointed. That night I was on my laptop when I received an email notification of a picture that had been uploaded on a app. My eyes grew wide at the disbelief…

The end-of-the-day bell screamed through the halls and children burst through the door. I shoved the sheets into my blue blossomed backpack and almost instinctively flipped by amber-blonde hair over my shoulder. I threw my backpack over my shoulder and began to storm out of the classroom, until Ms. Roberts stopped me at the door. “Jordan,” she said with a mother’s concern. “Why are you so upset?” She asked, genuinely caring to hear…

The smell of pine and dirt filled my nose. The sunshine gleaming above the tree branches that seemed to touch the sky. The hot, sunny weather was shielded against by the tree tops. The chirping and singing from the birds could be heard throughout the forest. The sound of the creek rushing and running nearby as if it was full of energy. Who knew that going hiking can be fun and peaceful? Suddenly, my mind was brought back to reality when my aunt uttered, “Hold on, this doesn’t seem right!”…

I walk up the stairs with a backpack that feels like there are bricks inside that belong on the side of a house, wishing that I had enough time to go to my locker between my classes so my backpack wouldn’t weigh so much. I have no time to go to the restroom either, so I plan on asking in class to go. I hope that I that I don’t miss Mr. Chesterton go over the study guide while I’m in the restroom. At Awty we must extend time in between classes kids don’t have enough time to get books from their…

With people using…

A food organization, Feeding America, states that “sixty-six percent of Americans had to choose between food and Medical care” (“Community Health and Nutrition in America,” 2016, para.3). Sixty-six percent of Americans basically had to choose between death or death; that means if an individual chooses Medical care instead of food then he or she would starve to death. If he or she chooses food instead or Medical care, then he or she would not be able to get the medical attention they need and…

Our backpacks. For many teenagers, they carry the necessary items to succeed in the academic world. They carry papers, they carry pencils, they carry the stress that many people place upon them to succeed. These are trying times for the class of 2016 and for all the incoming classes after them. While many of the students are excited for their imminent celebration of their young lives, many question what to do after High School. Society views college as the only means to achieve success and…

Middle school changed how I felt about myself and my personality. Summer is almost over and I am about to start a new school. That means new teachers, new students, and means new me. In elementary school I was never nervous about starting another grade. Maybe its because I knew all the teachers and I knew what to expect. That was not the case for middle school. I was a wreck. There was 2 weeks till school started, I was a little nervous still, but I was to concerned about my first day of school…
