"The 6th annual pancake breakfast"

This Sunday is the 6th annual pancake breakfast held at New Milford High School

They will be serving delicious sausages, pancakes, and eggs that will make you drool 

I have served at the pancake breakfast all four years of my high school career

It makes me quite sad that will be my last time serving this year

Setting up the tables and serving the customers is something I will miss and it's been a pleasure to volunteer.

Unfortunately, their has been some problems selling tickets

Every time I go into a classroom asking if anyone wants to purchase a ticket,

 they stare blankly at me and I start hearing crickets

I don't see why people don't want to come to this event when it only cost 500 cents

Yes,  it's only five dollars to attend this all you can eat breakfast brunch

How can you miss this opportunity to blamelessly munch?

This Sunday instead of buying sausage, eggs, and pancake mix at the store

Come to the high school cafeteria and buy a ticket at the door

I promise you won't be hungry when you leave

You'll be so content that you went, this I strongly believe.

"Prama"

Prom is quickly approaching but I still haven't bought my accessories or shoes

I've been to three stores but haven't had any luck, since I want to buy shoes I can reuse

I need to get them soon because I have to get my dress hemmed at the bottom

This is becoming a manner that's quite arduous and solemn 

Everyone is also in a rush to schedule their hair and makeup appointments 

I haven't even thought about that and I've realize I'm not really excited for prom which is a disappointment
There has also been some prom drama within our grade
Which has left some of us in dismay

One shouldn't propose to switch dates because karma will be their fate
And they will end up going to prom with no date
But prom is just one of many events soon to come
So please don't feel dumb or glum
Make it the best you can and always stick to the game plan
If not, you will end up with no date even if you're a ladies man.

"Senior Service"

The time has come to pick if I should do Senior Service or stay in school until June

This is my last year in high school so it would be nice to stay but truth is,
 This school gets scorching hot, especially in the afternoon.

Senior Service is an opportunity to take up an internship and learn something new
I'll admit I'll miss learning about the brain in Biology and English class reading The Taming of the Shrew.

Since my major is nursing you would think I'd pursue an internship at a hospital
This is not the case, since I'm working with father at Primerica Financial Services
I'm going to be taking  classes to obtain my life insurance license which makes me a bit nervous
But once I pass the state exam, I will be able to sell insurance to those who are in need
Which makes me happy because I'll be doing a good deed.

I have a countdown for when Senior Service starts, which is twenty days
I can't believe it's already May; this year went by so fast, I'm amazed!
Many of my friends are doing Senior Service which I think is excellent
I hope they learn something new and are left content
As for me, I'm going to make this the best experience ever,
So wish me luck on my incoming endeavor.

"Sinus Infection One Week Away From Competition"

This week I was diagnosed with a sinus infection which left me discontent 

I had a 102° fever and my face throbbed with pain which was quit a torment

I couldn't go to school or track practice for two days

When I did come back I'll admit in most of my classes I found myself in a daze

What bothered me the most was I got sick a few days away from my first track meet

I knew coming back to practice I would be out of shape and I didn't want to be beat

Plus my health wasn't at it's peak which increased my chances for defeat

I have to give it my all if I want to be ready to go against the Ridgefield Royals 

We have never faced them in a duo meet so I'm not sure if they are good

We have both been at a disadvantage due the the recent weather

The preseason has been filled with rainy and snowy days, but we've pulled it together

I'm so excited to run my favorite race, the 200 meter

This year I'm using a starting blocks to help me go faster, everyone uses them so don't think I'm a cheater!

I'll have to wait until Wednesday to see who's the better team 

Both teams will be running for one common dream:

To be the best runners and to be the most supreme team in the league!

"Should I Run Track or Apply for a Job"

Since basketball is nearly over and the spring season is almost here

I ask myself the same question I've been asking for the past four years

Should I run track or apply for a job?

Running is my favorite way to spend time when I'm stressed

When I'm worked up about anything and go for a jog, my whole body is at rest

That's why I love track and it keeps me in shape too

Track also has various events that you can do

High jump, 100 meters, and hurdles are some events you can pursue. 

Should I run track or apply for a job?

Having a job also has benefits especially with the economy we are in

I need to save up money before I go to college so I can pay for my knowledge

Also, I wouldn't have to ask my parents for cash

Which would force me to be smart with my money and not spend it in a flash

Should I run track or apply for a job?

Please God help me with this decision before I begin to sob

I think I know what I'll end up doing. Go ahead and take a guess!

Let's just say spring is going to be a season with no stress.

"Midterm Nightmare"

Midterms are approaching quite soon

I have to push myself and study until the twenty forth of June

Luckily I only have to take three midterms this year 

Otherwise I would be trembling in fear

AP biology is the one I'm most worried about

Photosynthesis, organelles, alleles; these things I can't account for

Because honestly they make me want to snore

Then there is F.A.S.T; if this class was a race I would surely be last. 

Finally there's English, but I don't feel glum

I just hope Athena lends me some of her wisdom 

Enough with being pessimistic because I know that gets you no where 

I have to have a strong work ethic and be prepared

I have to focus and study hard so I have an exceeding grade on my report card 

But whatever happens, happens. The future I cannot foretell. 

I'm just praying that everything will turn out swell. 

"My first college acceptance"

This month I received the most exciting news, I got accepted to Florida Atlantic 

This acceptance made me a bit frantic

Now I have to make the choice to either stay near home or go down south to the sunshine state

Leaving my family and friends would be hard but I feel like going to Florida is my fate

I visited the campus last July and completely fell in love

But going to a new state and starting my college life in Florida is something I can't get a hold of

New Jersey has been good to me but I don't think I can withstand the cold much longer

Some warm air and sun can only make me stronger

Plus, I got into the nursing program which I thought was a scam

because they only take 83 applicants in the nation which made my acceptance a celebration

Whatever choice I make I know it'll be the right one

This kind of decision cannot be easily undone

I have faith that I will succeed no matter what path I take

Even though this decision has a lot at stake

May God be with me through this college decision headache
