SAVE OUR SCHOOL!

My name is Juan and I'm a 8 grader at Urban Promise Academy in Oakland, Ca. I'm writing this because no more budget cuts to our schools. Urban Promise Academy needs funding for school supplies, textbook, paper etc. We also need for we could have after schools programs. My education will allow me to get a good job and get pay. My family want me to get an education so that I could have a good life. Please support my education by letting California vote on the tax extensive measure. 

                                                                  Sincerely, juan

DO I WEAR THE MASK, OR DOES IT WEAR ME?

DO I WEAR THE MASK
OR DOES IT WEAR ME?
WHEN I AM FEELING DOWN.
I HIDE MY FEELINGS
FOR KNOW ONE COULD KNOW
HOW I REALLY FEEL
WHEN I AM HAPPY
I TAKE OFF MY MASK
AND EXPRESS MYSELF
TO THE WORLD

IAM FROM

IAM FROM MEXICO
the city of the Mexicans
where soccer runs my soul
now I'm from OAKLAND
where I grew up with my people by my side and have my back
I am from a family that goes through thick and thin to the day we die
I am from a grandma who has Mexican pride
mexican blood is her mind 

DEAD OF THE DEAD POEM

I MISS YOU BLACKY
YOU WERE MY BEST PET
I CLEAN YOU AND FEED YOU
I KNOW THAT WEE DIDNT GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER WELL.
IAM SORRY I LET THE GATE OPEN FOR YOU TO ESCAPE.
and for some1 for shooting you
we will never forget you
you will always be in my heart.
