This may seem like a weird thing to miss the most, but walking down the halls allows me to greet every one and check in with teachers, staff, parents and students.  ]]> 2020-03-25 19:33:43 UTC https://padlet.com/weapp/freewrites/wish/475293592 Mr. Jesse's Free Write: jesse131 https://padlet.com/weapp/freewrites/wish/475297068 I miss having interactions with students and staff. Asking them how their weeks have been, giving fist bumps and hand shakes, making jokes, and of course teaching and connecting with students. Having a very flexible schedule and being able to sleep in and stay up late is nice but I do miss getting up and going to work in the morning. I also miss getting to spend time with family and friends and exploring the city.

I really love watercolor painting but don't normally have time. I have enjoyed painting while being home. I also really love baking! I have been making eclairs and learning new baking skills. 
I really miss going to work and being at school. I miss the students and teachers and my coworkers. I miss casual conversations and spontaneous high fives. I miss interacting with humans and friends in person. I am so grateful that we have the ability to communicate with things like video chats now, and it is such a joy to see people's faces. But I miss being able to see my friends and students in person. ]]> 2020-04-06 15:53:54 UTC https://padlet.com/weapp/freewrites/wish/495153915 Sophie's Free Write weapp https://padlet.com/weapp/freewrites/wish/495307454 Woah!

Having a real life conversation is very different from typing out a message then sitting there waiting for the typing bubble signifying a response. Chatting about our days in the cafeteria during lunchtime is very different from struggling to say "what did you do today" over choppy audio and bad reception on FaceTime. Most of the time, i'm able to reach a friend while they're on their phone, or i'll see a text before i have to go do my schoolwork, but a lot of the time all i end up doing is playing a two day long game of phone tag. i know i'm lucky that i've been able to stay in contact with everyone, but i miss actually being there with my friends, joking around in band, helping one another with math problems, waiting for each other at our lockers before walking to the next class together. i miss those little things so, so much and i hope it won't be too long until they are back in my life again.]]> 2020-04-08 21:32:40 UTC https://padlet.com/weapp/freewrites/wish/499548379 Evan's free write evanbirdy https://padlet.com/weapp/freewrites/wish/500970896 I am connecting with my friends mainly through text, but also through the private chat on Zoom (which I just found out that the teacher can see ._.). I should probably find a better way, though, because school's going to be out for the rest of the year. I'm also hanging out with my next-door neighbors a lot, but it's not the same, since we have to stay six feet away from each other.

Being around my family has been so awesome, but also extremely overwhelming at times. My husband and I are getting on each others nerves a lot but we are getting so much yard work done! Our front yard looks fantastic we have been driving to the river and collecting cool rocks, that is how bored we are. I have a baby girl that is a year and a half. She is full of energy and craziness. I sometimes need a break and just want some quiet which isn't easy to come by.

The good part is being able to spend time with my family and being able to talk with them more, the downside is that I don't really talk to them about things I like. An example is K-pop. They don't like K-pop as much as I do, so when I talk to them about it, they don't really get what I'm saying.

I know that probably doesn't make much sense, but it works for me, and helps me feel grounded. Whenever I try to do something like meditation or watching shows or something like that where I just take time for myself, there is a constant feeling that I could be doing something more "productive". I could be doing chores, my homework, etc. The way that I have figured out how to slow myself down is to do something that I find calming that is also productive, like folding laundry, gardening, or making food. Sometimes, I will listen to music or watch a show while doing them, but I don't find it as calming.

Today is the first day that I have got to talk with scholars in a class setting (cry face) even though only 4 scholars showed up it feels so good to connect. Thank you all for showing up. For me it has been really fun being able to spend time with baby Kamryn and my husband. It also has been annoying. I love them, but sometimes we need a break from each other. I am currently at my sisters house and my mom is at my house with baby while my husband is sitting in a parking lot somewhere getting work done. Is this our new normal? Is it weird I am not that worried about my mothers health? Should I let her be with Kamryn, she is a walking virus basically... Things to ponder.

My daughter chews on the handle of the bright orange tooth brush. I wonder if she thinks she is brushing her teeth. I often wonder what is going through her little head, mostly when she intentionally rips up a box or takes a 🤬 out of her alphabet puzzle piece. The weirdest part is when she says "Uh Oh" clearly you knew what you were doing and had the audacity to say "Uh Oh" afterwards. Sometimes I sit on the little wooden chair while I have meetings, no idea why, but they are oddly comfortable. I can't stand the latte cup toddler toy, why would a toddler need to emulate drinking coffee? Why did I buy that for her? Wait, did I buy that? I remember when I could just go to the store and buy stuff, wow what a distant memory now. I wonder if the world will ever get back to normal? Will I get to go to IKEA and buy unnecessary plush pillows for the couch? Will I get to wear my weirdly bulky snow boots to school and get judged? These are the random things I get to think about at home. Bored.  ]]> 2020-05-05 19:21:04 UTC https://padlet.com/weapp/freewrites/wish/553060706 1hwpeters https://padlet.com/weapp/freewrites/wish/553114387 i sound funky]]> 2020-05-05 19:45:47 UTC https://padlet.com/weapp/freewrites/wish/553114387 lucia's free write luciarose117s https://padlet.com/weapp/freewrites/wish/553181155 1. a black and white picture of me and my friends, miette, elizabeth and my sister emma, dressed up in silly costumes and animal ears.
2. a white mug that says "world's best boss" , like the one that sits on michael's desk in the show "the office".
3. a picture of a dog named Torvi
4. a plate of nacho style corn chips (you know, like the ones with the red dust on them)
5. my black dell chromebook computer
the picture of me and my friends was taken at girl scout camp 2 years ago. we were posing for a photo booth. looking at that picture, i wonder how long it will be before i get to be with my friends again. if i told the laughing, smiling people in that picture where they would be in 2 years, i doubt they would have believed me. i hope that i'll be able to take more pictures like this one- carefree, happy, and closer than 6 feet. 
the worlds best  boss mug was given to me by sadie, at my 13th birthday party. i still remember coming to school on my birthday, to see every inch of my locker covered in purple streamers and balloons. so many of my friend's birthdays have passed during this quarantine, and i wish that i could decorate their lockers, cover them in so many streamers that they couldnt see the door underneath, and wish them a happy birthday in person, but i can't. the best i can do is call, and send a card in the mail. 
the dog, Torvi, in the picture, was one of my dogwalking clients last summer. she was the happiest dog alive, no kidding- once she actually sprained her tail from wagging too much. 
the nacho style corn chips are both my and my friend miette's favorite kind of chip- once, we had a sleepover, and my parents bought us each an entire bag. we ate them while watching the lion king- we sang along to hakuna matata VERY LOUDLY, by the way.
my computer is basically my link to everything right now. it's how i get to school, how i complete assignments. though, i'll admit that isn't all i use it for. sometimes, i turn off the internet so that i can play the little dinosaur game that pops up when there's no signal. my high score is 4,000, which i am unnaturally proud of. is this what it's come to? i get so excited about the littlest things now.  a high score in a weird computer game, getting to wave at a friend from the window. maybe it's a good thing. it's nice to be able to open your eyes every now and then,  just to appreciate the little things. ]]> 2020-05-05 20:18:17 UTC https://padlet.com/weapp/freewrites/wish/553181155 Evan's Free Write evanbirdy https://padlet.com/weapp/freewrites/wish/553184172 1) National Geographic History magazine

I've had it for as long as I can remember, and I'm really good at it. The World's Longest Picture Maze is another birthday gift - it's like a maze that when you solve it, it becomes a picture - it's really cool, but I've been too intimidated by it to start it.

As I'm in this quarantine, I try to stick to the schedule that I have written on my small whiteboard that sits next to my bed, but sometimes it's hard to, because I have so much going on in my head that I sometimes forget things that I have to do. Sometimes I will take a break and get something to eat, or water the  small green plants on my windowsill, but then I get distracted and look at my phone, or decide that I want to go on a bike ride. I am glad that it has been sunny the last couple of days, because it usually lifts my mood and encourages my to go outside and enjoy the day rather than to stare blankly at my phone. I am also happy that I get to wear sunglasses. My sunglasses remind me of summer and all the good times I had while wearing them. I guess they just give me a sense of hope for the future.

A piano 
A computer mouse
A pencil
A highlighter

The water bottle is blue with a white nike logo and with a black bottle cap. The bottle is empty but it used to have a full cup of ice water inside.


My piano is what I practice on for 30 min every day. I have had that piano ever since I started playing piano which was 5 years ago.

This pencil is what I write with for my homework each day. It is yellow and has a pink eraser.

My computer mouse is black and silver. It is what I use with for homework on my computer. I have had my mouse for 2 weeks.

My highlighter is orange. It is another thing that is on my dek that i use for homework during the day. I usually have to use it for science and piano practice. those are really the only times that I use it. ]]> 2020-05-06 18:58:12 UTC https://padlet.com/weapp/freewrites/wish/555670751 Hailey's free write hjsptrsn https://padlet.com/weapp/freewrites/wish/555671874  On my desk, I see a plastic water bottle with the cap off, its a little smushed and there is about a sip of water left inside. I see a curtain in front of me that looks like the Guam seal, it has a proa (a boat), a coconut tree, and a hibiscus flower. I see my phone, it has a case of the Guam flag but, with flowers on it.

The water bottle on my desk is actually the bottle of water I brought with me yesterday to do some work. 

The curtain is something that my mom bought before we came to the states. We also bought another curtain that has an ukulele on it.

My phone is something I use everyday. I use it to communicate with friends and to talk with family. I also use it to listen to music during car rides when I'm bored.

2. My 5 year old sister, Zosha's wooden doll house
3. Bookshelf packed with books, picture books on the lower shelves, chapter books on the higher shelves.
5. A window to my backyard

My bedding has a pink pillow with a flower and hello kitty's face in the center of the flower. My blankets are gray with a large full-body image of hello kitty with fire coming out of the feet like rockets. Above Hello kitty's head is a rainbow. I know that Hello kitty is considered pretty lame, especially for a 7th grader, but frankly, I don't care. I got them when I was about 5 years old because I really liked hello kitty back then. I don't feel like asking for new bedding because I don't need it. Blankets and pillows are meant to keep you comfortable, not to keep up with your interests.
I share a room with my little sister, Zosha, so a lot of her stuff is in our room. She has a lot of toys she enjoys playing with. She keeps books, trinkets, stuffies, dollhouses, and more in our room. I remember when I first agreed to share my room with her. The only reason I agreed was because we would turn her room into an office. It was 100% worth it. 
The backyard. My backyard has a willow tree in it. A small, gravel path to walk down, and ferns on the other side. A wood chip path connects my backyard to all my neighbors' yards.]]> 2020-05-12 20:04:50 UTC https://padlet.com/weapp/freewrites/wish/568571676 1hwpeters https://padlet.com/weapp/freewrites/wish/568612462 2020-05-12 20:27:52 UTC https://padlet.com/weapp/freewrites/wish/568612462 walking poem of my room free write (Henry) Henry_person https://padlet.com/weapp/freewrites/wish/568618061 -door

.
.
Okay, so there's my bed in the corner. I used to have a quilt with purple and white flowers on it, but now my bedsheets are white with pink, purple, blue and gold speckles on it. I actually re-made this design in Animal Crossing, and they're both my bedsheets and the shirt my teddy bear wears in-game. On my bed, there's a few stuffed animals, the pillow with the pillowcase I had sewn when I was 10, maybe 11, the smaller pillow with the Toriel fan-art pillowcase. I have the same fan-art as my background for my tablet. I have a few blankets stacked in the corner of my bed, in case it gets really cold.
.
.
The window is right above my bed. If i get a drink of water before bed, I either put it on my desk or on the windowsill. It's big enough. My windowsill also holds my drawing figurines that I use for reference, my medieval sword, my Minecraft Diamond sword that I got from Minecon, a convention that was hosted right here in Seattle last year. I also remember I got a signature from one of my favorite Minecraft Youtubers at the same con. That was fun.
.
.
My bookshelves are just across from my bed. I'm noticing they're a bit dis-organized. I should clean it up later. There's also my clock, a box of tissues, and a vase of flowers directly across from the head of my bed. For some reason, I can't shake the fact that my clock is always 17 seconds behind. Exactly 17 seconds.
.
.
Right beside my desk is my big, fluffy, white beanbag. I combined it with my big furry pink pillow, so now it's really comfy. At night, if I can't sleep, then I'll just take my blankets and sit there for a while until I get tired again.
.
.
The wall my desk is beside holds my closet. The doors are broken, so they won't shut all the way. It literally drives me insane at night, there's just that small crack of darkness I can't seem to look away from. It creeps me out, I've always been a nyctophobe. Leaning against it is that pole I had set up for my night-light. When my lamp broke, I had to find an alternative. So I took a string of lights, plugged it in below my desk, tied it to that pole and leaned it along my closet doors. It's just the right size to fit in and fill the crack of darkness, which is nice. 
.
.
Back to my desk, we have the tangle of cords below it, the bucket of art supplies that lies along the wall on the desk, and my Laptop, right in the middle of it, waiting for me. Time to write, I suppose.]]> 2020-05-12 20:31:29 UTC https://padlet.com/weapp/freewrites/wish/568618572 Ellen’s Free Write #8 emrikhof https://padlet.com/weapp/freewrites/wish/568619235 2020-05-12 20:31:53 UTC https://padlet.com/weapp/freewrites/wish/568619235 lucia's free write https://padlet.com/weapp/freewrites/wish/568622956 crack on the wet sidewalk

during this meditation, i was trying to search for early memories, but i realized that after a certain point things start to become unclear. it makes me wonder if, thirteen years from now, all of this will be a distant, confusing memory that i can't figure out if it is a story or something that i actually experienced. ]]> 2020-05-19 20:35:57 UTC https://padlet.com/weapp/freewrites/wish/583478848 Evan's Free Write evanbirdy https://padlet.com/weapp/freewrites/wish/583479130 When I was little, I wanted to to be an astronaut and go to Mars. I remember picking an arbitrary date for when I'd do this - at first it was 2013, because going into space as a six-year-old sounded like a really good idea at the time. I did this arbitrary-date thing with other things in my life, too. Up until I was about seven or eight years old, I wanted to do everything in my life at the age of 25. For example, I wanted to have all three of the kids I wanted when I was 25.

It's hard to tell which are from my actual memories and which are stories I've heard, seen, or made up.
For some reason all of my memories are in 3rd person, so I watch it like I'm a bystander, and I  see myself, instead of seeing what I actually saw from my perspective.  Even if I'm trying to remember something from yesterday or the day before, It's always 3rd person.
During that video, I was mainly shifting through a bunch of scrambled memories, wondering if they were actually my memories or just stories I heard, saw, or made up. I was also trying to figure out which goes where in the timeline of my life. I mainly looked at how long my hair was in each memory to tell about how old I was.
I remember the weirdest, most random memories from my childhood. Most of them are just a frozen image in time, and I remember the story that goes with it.
I'm also good at matching names to faces, even if I've only met the person once. Again, it's usually a frozen image of their face, but if someone mentions their name, I'll know who they're talking about, what they look like, and sometimes a detail or two about them. It doesn't work as well the other way around though. If I see someone, I can't match their name to their face. It's quite strange. For me the face and name matching is only a one-way ticket.]]> 2020-05-21 18:01:28 UTC https://padlet.com/weapp/freewrites/wish/587571676 Henry's free write Henry_person https://padlet.com/weapp/freewrites/wish/595635742 One thing that really effects me is my sleep schedule, i usually play Roblox or Minecraft till 12, then i usually on the phone with my friends till 1 then  shower and after i shower, which is around 1;45-2;25 i go down stairs and snuggle with my dogs and watch YouTube. i am usually asleep by 3;00-3;30. then i wake up at 10. for me i dont need much sleep to be hyped and crazy like normal. the mornings for me are boring, including school stuff and housework. i like to walk my dogs every other day, we also run around in the yard a bunch. each Friday my derby team goes to a HUGE parking lot and gets to skate. most of the time when i have nothing to do i paint, work on my cosplays and watch much anime.

This should be a time in our history when everyone, I mean everyone is on the same page! I am saddened to see how this virus is affecting people of color and poor people. My advice is for the administration to acknowledge that opening up businesses will kill poor and feeble who have to go to work to pay their bills. My advice is to stop bailing out corporations. My advice is that businesses with less than 500 employees count as small businesses!!!! How? It is clear that you don't care about us unless we are making you money.

Just remember to keep a positive mindset if you want your head to stay on your shoulders. Always wear a mask and gloves when in public. And always have a concealable tranquilizer gun at your side.

This image makes me extremely angry at the police for spraying pepper spray at the protest. Maybe they didn't know that there were kids at the protest, but I don't think so, and anyway, that is hurtful to adults as well
2. I think that if kids really want to go to a peaceful protest, then they should.

They never did anything to deserve this! this is not fair for people. I thought the polices jobs were to help us make make you not scared, but right now i'm terrified and mad. 
Even though some people are vandalizing places and messing up the streets of downtown, that doesn't mean that the police can fire rubber bullets and let off tear as at the people who did it, but they also do it to the insentient people trying to have a peaceful protest!
I want to help, but i would probably end out getting hurt.]]> 2020-06-02 20:37:24 UTC https://padlet.com/weapp/freewrites/wish/607671746 1hwpeters https://padlet.com/weapp/freewrites/wish/607672506 it makes me feel scared and angry that some one did something so horrible to a child and when they where just protesting fore rights.

First off, it's still as dangerous as it has been these past few days to go outside, especially in big groups, and even if that's what we're peacefully protesting for.

Secondly, it's much easier to stop children from protesting. Even if it's just peacefully. (I'm not saying that it's a good thing, I'm saying it's another issue.)

And also, this picture literally just makes me as a person feel like scum. Someone had the guts to approach a CHILD and spray them with a something that would 100% cause harm to them.

I think that even kids who are around my age (12) shouldn't be going to these protests, especially if they don't have the whole picture on how unsafe it actually is. Even then, what they see or experience could be traumatic to a young person. Young adults should only go if they want to and if they are properly educated of the risks and are socially, emotionally, and mentally ready to see and experience the violence going on during the protests. I think that kids who are old enough and mature enough should definitely be aware of what is happening in the world without it being sugarcoated or completely being shielded from the truth, but they shouldn't have to experience it.]]> 2020-06-02 20:52:53 UTC https://padlet.com/weapp/freewrites/wish/607693309 1snilyas1 https://padlet.com/weapp/freewrites/wish/609557108 I think the parents shouldn't have took the child to the protest because it's more dangerous to be there as a child then a grown up. And a child has a higher pain tolerance because it would be more painful. A few days ago my sister really wanted to attend one but of course my parents said no because it was way too dangerous and because they're really scared about Covid-19.]]> 2020-06-03 18:29:19 UTC https://padlet.com/weapp/freewrites/wish/609557108 weapp https://padlet.com/weapp/freewrites/wish/619318959  There is a large movement to defund police departments around the money and redistribute the money in different areas (for example - education, housing, etc.). Proponents of this cause argue there wouldn't be as much of a need for police if more money was put into programs that help people so they don't make choices that will get them in trouble with the law in the long run. Below is a graph of the current 2020 proposed budget. Do you think the police department is over-funded? If so, what areas should more money be distributed to and why?

This is because the housing crisis in Seattle is very real, and we need to put as much money as possible into housing so that we can make it affordable for everyone. The reason I think we should put funding in sustainability and civil rights is because I think it they are the most underrepresented categories on the budget.

It's a delicate system. Every little move helps one person and screws another person over. It's also hard if you don't have the whole picture of what is being used for what, what is being wasted, what is being misused, etc. 
I think that the police budget is really high. I don't know if the money they're using is actually necessary or not. I don't know what they spend money on, so it's hard to know what is extra and what is being misused. It could be that all that money is necessary for permits or something. I think that on the one hand, the police have so much money compared to the others. On the other hand, if the police have less money, they might not be able to have as many cops, and if there are less cops, crime will go up and more cases will go unsolved. It'll be easier to get away with crimes. Personally, I don't think the fix in the system starts or ends with the budget, I think there needs to be a change in training and harsher punishments for police. Changing the budget won't make all the problems in the world go away, but it's a small step. 
I'm also looking at the parks and recreation budget, and that is really high as well. I think it could be lowered as well. First off, less and less people are going to parks nowadays because kids just want to sit inside, watch shows, and play video games. I know parks and recreation does more than just organizing parks, such as planning fairs and festivals and such, but I doubt that takes 250 million to do that.
I think more money should go to civil rights, sustainability and environment, and refugee affairs because there is a shockingly low amounts of money going into those things.
I also think housing should be raised. There are so, so many people without homes at this time. It might also make crime rates go down because a lot of crimes are committed because people need money quickly for things like taxes, rent, debt, etc.]]> 2020-06-09 21:47:24 UTC https://padlet.com/weapp/freewrites/wish/619632142 What helps me stay calm sophia_va https://padlet.com/weapp/freewrites/wish/621313069 2020-06-10 19:10:48 UTC https://padlet.com/weapp/freewrites/wish/621313069
