    Where I’m from

    I am from the Milky Way galaxy
    About 100,000 light years across
    Contains billions of shiny lights
    An unknown area for one so small
    I am from Earth home to about 7.8 billion people
    Filled with the beauty and destruction of life
    Visiting planets come join us if you can
    I am from Canada the hockey nation
    Best known for saying “eh?”
    And we don’t live in igloos
    I am from British Columbia we have trees
    Tall and small we got them all
    I am from Ladner small and homey
    Originally built to be a fishing village
    Yep we got fish too and a slough!

  2. Ten Years Old
    By Kimberly Tudge
    past:

    The room was quiet
    Nothing but the mic
    I was next to perform
    Facing my fears
    Ten years old

    All alone
    No music no partner
    Just me and the mic
    And the support of Miss Parmar

    The whole school watching
    Ready for my part of the show
    Took a big breath in
    Acapella I sang
    Ten years old

    My Wonderful Life

    My wife and kids with a house on the lake
    Tons of money I will make
    A finishing carpenter or site supervisor
    People will see me and admire
    Dodge challenger will be my wheels
    I want to be a good provider and make all the meals
    My hobby will involve my green thumb
    More money I will make in a lump sum

  4. Present

    I AM
    I am from the small town of Ladner and the lemonade stands
    From the all-white house to the beige bedrooms
    I am from the late night street hockey to the early morning hot chocolate
    From the hot dinners mom brings out to the oatmeal in the morning
    I am from the hockey rink to the sold out crowd
    From working hard to accomplishing my dreams
    I am from riding a bike to driving a car
    From being taken care of to taking care of
    I am from Candy-Land to Monopoly
    From Discman to Ipads
    I am from learning about faults to learning about my faults
    I am from playing tag in the park to going out to parties
    From poor to wealthy
    I am from stubborn to easy going

  5. I Am
    I am a brother and friend
    I wonder what life holds in store for me
    I hear the sound of rain hitting the water
    I see myself camping in Squamish
    I want a steak dinner and The Keg
    I am a brother and friend
    I pretend to pretend about things
    I feel happy about my accomplishments
    I touch the sky
    I worry that I may of made a big mistake
    I cry when grandpa died
    I am a brother and friend
    I understand that I still have much to learn
    I say what I believe is right
    I dream about getting to the level of achievement I want
    I try to work as hard as I can
    I hope to be successful
    I am a brother and friend

  6. In the nosy big airport
    People were busy and walk around there.
    My brother does not want to let me leave.
    The tear filled with his little eyes.
    I was sixteen.

    I was flight in the dark sky.
    I watch out the window
    Under the cloud, the sea seems cold.
    Sun hide behind.
    I was sixteen.

    I was start feeling lonely and I cannot stop crying
    My hands was sharking
    I have tight-lipped. Thinking too much to make myself worry
    The strong feeling make me upset.
    I was sixteen.

    What is going to happen next?
    The sky blue warmed my heart.
    The birds are singing on the tree.
    The rabbits are jumping on the green grass.
    I have to face the new life
    I need to be strong enough to face the new challenge
    I was sixteen.

  7. Future:

    Pursuit of a Railfan's Dream

    A low rumble courses through
    the Fraser Canyon railway route
    Canadian Pacific double-stack
    rolling along the mountain tracks.

    Young boy watches from an overpass
    Camera snaps as whistle blasts
    Engineer waving as train rolls by
    “I’ll be like you some day,” kid sighs.

    Years later, now a graduate of BCIT
    The same kid climbs up and smiles with glee
    Sitting at the throttle of a CP train
    Heading up to the mountains once again.

    He laughs as he passes the same spot on the line
    Another boy standing with a camera, mesmerized
    He leans out the window and waves, blowing the horn
    the railfan dream cycle continues, reborn.

  8. Fourteen

    On a great white winter night
    I got kicked out from the house
    by my own mother to a different country
    from Japan to New Zealand, I was fourteen

    First time in my life out of my home country
    everybody around me are speaking English
    which I couldn't speak or understand at all
    I missed too many English class in Japan, I was fourteen

    As the time went on
    I started understanding English more
    getting more mature
    since my parents are not here to help me, I was fourteen

  9. Dream
    To be a succeed dentist.
    TO make it come true.
    Life is a pair of beauty wings.
    That fill with hope.

    Hold yourself together
    To make your dream come true
    Life is a cross
    Full of big challenge but make you succeed.

  10. I am a nutty guy who likes dolphins
    I wonder how they are so like humans
    I hear silence pulsing in the middle of the night
    I see a dolphin flying up to the sky
    I want an adventure of a life time
    I am a nutty guy who likes dolphins

    I pretend that I’m the ruler of the world
    I feel the weight of the world on my shoulders
    I touch the sky, the stars and the moon
    I worry about the devastation of a nuclear holocaust
    I am a nutty guy who likes dolphins

    I understand the frustration of not being able to do something easy
    I say that we are all equal
    I dream of traveling to other points on the earth
    I try to reach out to poor and starving people
    I hope that mankind will be at peace
    I am a nutty guy who likes dolphins

  11. Task 1

    Looking Back

    Sixteen




    Golden arches

    Good food, discount

    My first uniform with my name tag

    First job, I was sixteen




    Lots of patience, filed with excitement

    Studying hard, fifteen dollars

    Ironwood, ICBC, Learners passed

    New driver, I was sixteen




    First air flight, big family

    Unexplainable feeling

    Rides, hot sun, laughing, smiles on our faces

    Disneyland, I was sixteen

  12. I am determined and shy
    I wonder if I’ll ever accomplish my goals
    I hear the owls hooting
    I see good things ahead
    I want to help the unwealthy
    I am determined and shy


    I pretend that the world is a perfect place to live in
    I feel like the world is looking down to the less fortunate
    I touch the sky the stars and the moon
    I worry too much about the little things
    I cry when I’m watching sad movies
    I am determined and shy

    I understand that anything is possible
    I say I’ll do things yet never follow through
    I dream to be a licensed Carpenter
    I try to get good grades in my report card
    I hope for the best but expect the worse
    I am determined and shy

  16. Dreams at Age Sixteen

    South of the green overpass
    I found my second home
    A wooden lacrosse box
    And from that day I never wanted to leave I was sixteen.

    I admired all the greats before
    Seeing there jersey hanging in the rafters
    I knew from that day I had a dream
    I was sixteen with an idea in my head

    If I could predict the future I would be hanging next to the greats
    Living the life and living the dream
    No one could stop me but me
    I was sixteen with a big dream

    Greece and Italy invited in my future
    where I will end I am not sure
    as long as everyones happy
    maybe ill even discover a new cure

    Noone knows what it holds
    it can be scary as it unfolds
    the time it will take
    with all the hardships and colds

    After school i'll live with cheech
    and I will be on a beach
    i'll be rich
    and maybe even teach

    Dream was like sun in the early spring
    The frozen earth hoped it
    To bring every nature creatures warm and light
    Then the sun rose.
    Dream was like rain in the middle summer
    The drought impatient plants and animals thirst for it
    To bring them moisture and low temperature
    Then the rain fell.

    East of Ladner on 66th street
    I lived in a trailer just off of
    The street where you can
    Live young and live free
    I was fifteen…
    I admire all the flowers
    The shiny metal barn, and
    The flicker of light reflecting
    Off the barn, I was fifteen…
    Every day was a new day
    Never once is their nothing to do
    Always away out of boredom
    No regrets at the end of the day
    I was fifteen……..

    Where I’m from
    I am from a loud back street
    From beaches, boats, water fights, lying in the sun in Summer
    To skiing, tubing, sledding, snow ball fights, making snowman in the Winter
    I am not a short distance runner, but long distance
    From soccer to badminton to having fun in the pool
    I am a die hard Canucks fan
    From Gears of War, Halo, Call of Duty on Xbox
    To Just Dance on Wii
    I am not quite, But very loud
    From girly pink, to blood red is the way to go
    I enjoy lying cozy by the fire well watching movies with my sisters
    From a helpful older sister to an annoying little one
    I am the East Side of Ladner
    From farming Ladner to beautiful Edmonton is where I want to visit again
    I am hop scotch with a rock to giving a car wash
    From clue to monopoly to twister are great on rainy days
    To hot cheesy ham and pineapple pizza with Dr. Pepper is the best
    From chilling with Pauline to learning with my dad
    I am East Indian and proud of my culture
    I am always learning something new

  21. I AM
    I am different and shy.
    I wonder if my dog will ever stop licking his butt.
    I hear explosions of lava.
    I see a crow flying over a desolate land.
    I want to smile.
    I am Different and shy.
    I pretend I’m invincible.
    I feel lonely.
    I touch fire and nothing happens.
    I worry about my future.
    I cry when I’m broken.
    I am different and shy.
    I understand with life there is death.
    I say never give up.
    I dream of freedom.
    I try to show my opinion.
    I hope to be happy.
    I am different and shy.

    Twelve

    Everything surrounding me explains itself
    Your outlook on life is small
    A school in a small quit town with nothing but fresh crisp blue sky. I was twelve

    School becomes a usual routine
    Days go by slowly in warm curious classroom
    Some tired eyes fill the blue and endless hallways
    Everyone waiting for the sound of freedom the school bell for recess. I was twelve

    The feeling of strength and independence once you reach grade 7
    The king of the rusted metal playground
    Cold days bring frost to the sawdust floor
    Feeling the crackle with every step I take waiting for the last bell to ring. I was twelve

    I am:

    I am a daughter and a friend
    I wonder what I’ll look like at 50
    I hear my mothers reassuring voice
    I see the blue Hawaiian water
    I want to revisit Jamaica
    I am a daughter and a friend
    I pretend I’m a princess in my grad dress
    I feel relaxed during yoga
    I touch my dogs’ soft golden fur to comfort him
    I worry about growing old
    I cry when I see someone close to me cry
    I am a daughter and a friend
    I understand there’s beauty in everything
    I say you can’t accomplish your goals if you don’t try
    I dream of having a successful and healthy life
    I try to stay positive in the worst situations
    I hope to complete the Seawheeze half marathon
    I am a daughter and a friend

  24. Twelve
    By Agapito Dela Cruz

    During the festive day of Halloween,
    My school's gym would get packed
    With people dressed up in anybody they dreamed of.
    I didn't dress up, didn't really care.
    Something I didn't really bear.
    I was only twelve.

    On those regular school days,
    Homework and tests would come at me
    Like a great nation struck by a tsunami.
    Kuckily enough, I managed to overcome these obstacles.
    I was only twelve.

    During the winter months,
    I would go on frequent ski trips
    Gliding on the white, silk-smooth snow.
    All the ski maneuvers I need to know,
    I was only twelve.

    All these experiences I witnessed, I was only twelve.

    I am living my life
    But world keeps spinning like a wind mild
    Whatever happens keep colding like a wind chill
    I try to stand as a stone
    Life keeps goes on and on.

    From Korea and China fianlly Canada
    But i still don't know where to go
    I got no place to go
    Life keeps going on and on.

    When i look at sky
    I am in dreaming however,
    when i look at the ground
    I am back to reality.

    When i wake up every morining 100percent is real
    Even though, bad things happen to me
    I will work for a right man
    My right hand and my head keep moving for them.

    Sixteen
    Try to be a boy without childishness
    This year, I was sixteen
    Began to learn about life
    Mixing me with my own life together
    Whatever it is sweet or pain
    Thinking about to be or not to be
    Something must be chosen by myself
    Even if I make an error
    This year,I was sixteen
    I can know which is better for me
    I will never hate the loneliness
    Trying to love her
    In order to rise from the ashes
    Just like Phoenix Nirvana
    To get an immortal soul
    To be the first rays of the morning
    I will pierced the darkness
    This year,I was sixteen
    Becoming an angry lion
    My indignation let the world tremble
    There is nothing more I can think of to say to you
    Please look forward to the epic
