I am poem

I am the tears running down the face of someone who lost a loved one.
I wonder what we done to make this world so dangerous and what would it be without violent.
I hear screaming of a mother who just lost her son to violence.
I see so many coffins going six feet under.
I want to feel safe walking down these cracked streets.
I am the tears running down the face of someone who lost a loved one.

I pretend that their will be no more tears to cry.
I feel the emptiness of missing that special someone.
I touch the cool, hard surface of your tomb stone.
I worry that I wont be able to take a other step forward without you.
I cry remembering the times we use to have.
I am the tears running down the face of someone who lost a loved one.

I understand that gos has to take us all one day.
I say when can the one we believe and pray to help us through the pain.
I dream of one day to be next to the lord himself.
I try to lend a hand and make a difference.
I hope that everyone realizes that every life should be cherished.
I am the tears running down the face of someone who lost a loved one.

Thank you letter!

Dear Colonel George E. Day,

Hello my name is Chelsea Cabanas. I am 16 years old. I am a sophmore at Farragut Career Academy High School. I am writing this letter to thank you fot what you have done for our country. You are a strong and courages man. I found it very courages how you put your life at risk to save the lives of your fellow aviotors. Even though you were badly injured and hurt, you kept your head up and stayed strong. Not only for yourself but also for your fellow troops. You showed me that you and I should always keep our heads up, stay strong and to give all we can give. You deserve The Medal of Honor because you jumped out a plane and broke your arm in 3 places and toke beatings for our country so you deserve alot of respect. I feel those who got The Medal of Honor should have your own hoilday, so that others can reconize all that yous have done. I want to end it ask, I want you to know that you are being thanked and throught about for all that you have done for our country. once again thank you for being such a brave and courages man.

Sincerely,

Cadet Corporal Chelsea Cabanas

P.S Thank you for taking your time to read this letter.

Medal of Honor citation

George E. Day

Rank and organization: Colonel (then Major), U.S. Air Force, Forward Air Controller Pilot of an F-100 aircraft.

Place and date: North Vietnam, 26 August 1967.
Entered service at: Sioux City, Iowa.

Citation:On 26 August 1967, Colonel Day was forced to eject from his aircraft over North Vietnam when it was hit by ground fire. His right arm was broken in 3 places, and his left knee was badly sprained. He was immediately captured by hostile forces and taken to a prison camp where he was interrogated and severely tortured. After causing the guards to relax their vigilance, Colonel Day escaped into the jungle and began the trek toward South Vietnam. Despite injuries inflicted by fragments of a bomb or rocket, he continued southward surviving only on a few berries and uncooked frogs. He successfully evaded enemy patrols and reached the Ben Hai River, where he encountered U.S. artillery barrages. With the aid of a bamboo log float, Colonel Day swam across the river and entered the demilitarized zone. Due to delirium, he lost his sense of direction and wandered aimlessly for several days. After several unsuccessful attempts to signal U.S. aircraft, he was ambushed and recaptured by the Viet Cong, sustaining gunshot wounds to his left hand and thigh. He was returned to the prison from which he had escaped and later was moved to Hanoi after giving his captors false information to questions put before him. Physically, Colonel Day was totally debilitated and unable to perform even the simplest task for himself. Despite his many injuries, he continued to offer maximum resistance. His personal bravery in the face of deadly enemy pressure was significant in saving the lives of fellow aviators who were still flying against the enemy. Colonel Day's conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty are in keeping with the highest traditions of the U.S. Air Force and reflect great credit upon himself and the U.S. Armed Forces.

I feel I can thank George E. Day by showing him my appreciotaion. Also let him know that what he did to deserve The Medal of Honor toke alot of courge and we need a lot more men like him to risk his own life to help others. He was really strong and never gave up.

goal I accomplished

A goal that I accomplished was to read more I was reading this one book called "This cant be love". This book is a really good I enjoyed reading it a lot. I didn't want to put down the book down. every sentence kept you interested and wanted to keep reading it. It was so good that I had my dad interested. The book was about a woman who was being abused by her husband and tells you the story on how she gets out of being abused. I recommend this book for woman who have been abused and those who are going through abuse because i believe this book would give you strangth to move on and do better.

Dream Deferred

What happen to a dream waiting to be found?

Does it melt

like ice cream in the sun

or harden like cemente

over timeand get stronger everyday

does it fly in the sky like a bird

or sore to the ground

like a leaf during fall.

Maybe it hovers over the sea

like grocery bag

or does it down in the waves

to never be seen again.

A Dream Deferred

Goals Accomplished!

Goals I have accomplished three goals on my list and am some wat proud that i succussed my goals and am able to talk about it.

One of my goal that I have accomplished is making new friends. I didnt talk to much people my freshmen year but this year I set a goal to make new friends. I met a few people I knew was around but just didnt talk to them for what reason? there wasnt much but I figured I didnt talk to them because I didnt have any classes with them but now that I have alot of new people in my classes I am able to get to know them and talk more them all. Am glad that I met the people that I met. It is always nice to have many friends. I am glad I at least accomlished that goal.

A other goal that I have set for myself and has reached was to learn new things I learned new things in chemistry and in geometry. I learned new words and experiments in chemistry and I felt very proud of my self for doing my best and making it. I also learned new expressions and new and useful math information that is very useful and good to know.

The last goal that I have reached was have good grades . I am not sure if I have the best grades but so far I have a some what good progress report. Am proud of my grades and so are my parents and that shows me that I can do what ever it is that I was and know that I can reach my goals in life or even in high school. I plan to keep my good grades and do my best in my classes.
