Bullying: A Poem by Steven

Bullying by Steven Collins

It hurts to get bullied but they don’t known it

They think it’s fun I can tell their faces show it

 They Make you feel small and say your

Nothing           

 You grow up to become

Something

Like Michael said

Look at yourself in the mirror

You can’t make it any clearer

You’re scared you can’t walk in

Your shadow

 They make feel like you don’t want to

See tomorrow

 Crying doesn’t solve it there is no reason

You just want to stop all the teasing

Bullying is something that never goes

Away as much as you want it won’t fade away

First Day of Spring

The first day of Spring was bright and beautiful!

There was lots of chalk action out on the front steps of GSNC:

And our sweet volunteers got some Jamila-hugs...

And then Jamila took some great pictures, like this one of our resident teddy-bear!

Hi My Name Is...Tyeisha! I am here to talk to you about the best and the fun at Grant Street Neighborhood Center. When I say best I mean great. It's really good things to do here. I've been coming here since I was eight years old and now I'm ten and I've seen good things happen and bad things are gone. So here are some things you and your family can do here. 

• Posters
• Books
• Chairs
• Paper
• Markers

  Now here's the rules

• No cursing
• No fighting
• No smoking
• No calling people names

Also if you need help getting here it on Grant near Lafayette. If you are coming from Lafayette, it's a few buildings down on the right. It's a big red brick building---you can't miss it! See, it's really easy to get here.

And the rules and the activates are really fun.  you should stop here to become a  member. I'm glad I'm a member here because there are friends and activates and there is a lot of things to do here. Well, stop on down here and we'll make you feel at home! Bye, nice talking to you!

 yours truly,

Ty'eisha A.K.A Mrs. Alsom

A Poem by Theophile

Love

Oh! Love pushes me in your way

Oh! Love pushes your son in your way

Oh! Love create my way

Oh! Love, you are the greatest

I am always waiting for you

You change people who were unchangeable

OH! Love, you make me to pursue my goal

Oh! Love, nothing compares to you

You are really awesome

You are all I need in my life

You push me to do anything I didn’t think,

I could do

Oh! Love fills peace in our heart

Oh! Love fills happiness in our heart

Oh! Love throws away our mistakes

Oh! Love, you‘ll be always our food

You made us who we are

Peace, peace sings your song

Ocean, lakes sing your song

I do not know well who you are

Because I can’t be lost when you’re with me

I never hallucinated in my life

Because you were with me

I never broken my heart

Because you were the soldier of my heart

I never felt tired in my heart

Because you brought contentment to me

Writing Game

Yesterday during Word Swag, we played a writing game. Each person started a story by writing the first sentence. Then, all the papers were passed to the left and everyone wrote a second sentence. Then we folded the paper over so that the next person could only see our sentence, and passed the papers again. The stories went all the way around the room. The finished results were very funny, because we only knew what happened in the sentence before us.

Here are 2 of the stories that we wrote together playing this game. Click to enlarge and read.
