In my opinion, Field Day had just a bit more expectations of responsibility because some of us in our class were either leaders or co-leaders. While my ‘buddy’ and I were leading the team, I thought of how last year’s leaders were. Trying my best to stay calm unlike the rest of my team, I learned that being a leader wasn’t just to stay stiff and lead the team. I played with my team; I didn’t just boss them around. Even though I am a fifth grader, I was a bit confused when I saw people cheating in some games. Maybe the teachers didn’t think that those cheats weren’t such a big deal? I am a person who likes everything perfect, so I thought that those little cheats were significant. I was also puzzled when one of my team mates threw a sponge (right in my face!) in the water game. Even though these small things got tangled up inside my Field Day, I still had loads of fun!

I have a dream…

I have a dream to have peace on this earth,

I have a dream to free all the chains off people’s hearts,

I have a dream to have a dream.

The World

Thankfulness

Is gold to one,

But dirt

For another.

The universe

Is only the change

That we did

In the past.

The stars

Are a sign

Of our worlds

Change

And the eclipse

Is a sign

Of our planet

Protesting

We should have

A right base

To start building

Our planet

In a good way

As the humans

Have already

Built

Our world

On a bad base,

Our world

Is turning

Out as it’s not

Supposed to be.

Change is good,

But only in one way.

This world needs so much care,

More than we can give.

Sorrows and Happiness

Sorrow,

Can be brushed

Away,

With just a smile,

Or a friend,

Or a flower,

Or a fruit,

Or a color,

Or a bird.

Sorrow,

Can be brushed

Away,

With the sound

Of a

Bird

Chirping in the

Evening light.
