being up so high and trying
not to fail is an amazing thing
plus trying not to be seen. the more
paint yon hare and supplys the more
the wight and the harder it is
to clime. trying to make
the burner look just right the smelll
of the paint is to me like
the smell of food or flowers
or purtrim to other people I love
it. the feeling after you have
finished is like a feeling like no
other to see your work the next
day and to have eveyr one talking
about how sick that peace that
guy did was. It is a way to express
to feel like your heart is about to
blow up it beating so fast. I am
an artists. I am a creater. I am a dreamer.
I am a ghost. I am a felon of the
night.

why wont' they treat me
like a human being only if people
could see everything that i have
seen then people would think about
being mean.

the world doesn't understand whats goin on
in me I just wanna be able to live
in society and not be a trouble maker and

KS, age 17
--------------------------------------
The world doesn't understand
What's going on in me
I just want to be happy.
But, I- I just can't. Because I just
saw my mom got murdered.
So I ran upstairs and hid. But, the
killer, I here him coming up the stairs!
But he didn't find me.
But when he left, I was still scared
because I don't have no one left in
me, all of them are dead. So
I locked all the doors & feel asleep. And
then never woke up.
CU, age 12
--------------------------------------
The world doesn't understand
What's going on in me
so much is going on in me
sometimes I want to give up & find a different
place to be.
One day I might just flee.
I hope I can find a better place in me.

--------------------------------------
The world doesn't understand
What's going on in me
All they do is judge me
They judge my looks
They judge me by my age
They judge me by what I wear
They judge me by my temper
They judge me by the choices I make
They judge me by the friends I have
They judge me by the way I draw
Why can't everyone calm down and take a look
Take a look at my kind, carring, loving, hopeful
and joyful spirit inside me.
Be more open minded.
Be carring
Be happy
Be peaceful
And just open your eyes there is a world of many possibilitys out there but you won't know until you look.
--------------------------------------
The world doesn't understand
What's going on in me
I feel angry but no one can see me
I feel like I'm invisible and so no one
cares to look and see
what I can be when I feel free
so this is me
Take a look inside me
I want to be free
from this discrase inside of me.
CW, age 13

The world doesn't understand
What's going on in me
My life is so hard
I get in trouble with the
law. Every time I do something
right I think it's wrong. Its
like they put it down on a
card. Keeping track of every
thing you do just like god
but you don't know there
watching your every move an
action.

I dont' fear on getting more time

My Dream Job-- a persuasive writing assignment
My dream job is automobile design artist for Maserati
Dear Sarah,
I am applying for a position on the automobile body design team here at Maserati. Since I was a boy, I've always been drawn to good looking cars, and Maserati has never failed to impress. I've been trying hard to get into a career in designing incredible looking automobiles and I feel that this would be the best job for me in this field. I also think I have a lot I could bring to the team to benefit the company.
Ever since I was about eight, I've been sketching and drawing cars that I like. It's my favorite thing to do. I draw many scale drawings of existing cars, hundreds in face, and I draw just as many sketches of cars I've imagined and designed on my own. I believe I have real talent in the visual aspects of creating new cars. It's always been my dream to some day drive a car I designed myself, and this job will be a huge step in reaching that dream.
In school I've completed multiple engineering, drafting, physics, and art classes. All those fields pertain to this job, I learned in depth, the aspects of scale modeling, design sketching, aerodynamics, and how to put it all together on paper. Those skills cover all the aspects of performing this job. It would require very little additional training to get me performing well as a part of your visual design team.
I feel I meet all the criteria required for doing this job. I also have patience. I work well with others, and can take and handle criticism, and use it to create an even better product. If you wish to inquire more into my abilities and experience, I have a large portfolio of automobile concept art and design sketches of many cars I've imagined. I'll be happy to deliver this portfolio and any other personal information you desire.
Thank you very much for your time and thought. I hope to hear back about any possible openings for me you may have. Thanks again.
