Where I’m From – Poem

I am from coffee mugs, from my mom’s heels and my dad’s briefcase.

I am from the smell of cooked food at dinner.

I am from the daisies in the garden, the soil from the Earth.

I am from Christmas and hospitality, from Caroline, Bobby and the Leonidas clan.

I am from loud talking and laughter.

I am from saving for the rainy days and the early bird catches the worm.

I am from Christianity that prays every night.

I am from the Philippines, rice and adobo.

From the opening of presents, the family reunions, and the celebration of a debutant.

I am from a photo album where memories are cherished ad frozen forever.

Social Issue

 

 

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAI chose bullying as my social issue poster because it is something that should be addressed. Did you know that over 3.2 million students are being bullied each year and 1 in 4 teachers address and intervene 4% of the time. About 160,000 teenagers skip school because of it and suicide has resulted from it. 56% of students have witnessed some type of bullying and didn’t do anything. And 67% of students believe that schools respond poorly to bullying, with a high percentage of students believing that adult help is ineffective. I want to send a message that bullying is not okay and that we should start taking action. Our school’s campaign is to stop bullying and try to make a change in today’s society and #bethechange.
