While you [Megan] were out running around in Florida gettin' all business profession-ally, some of us were stuck in school.  The sophomore hallway was crawling with paperclips here is the story of this one...
On one very fine Thursday afternoon I had just got back to my locker from seventh period art class.  Then something caught my attention out of the corner of my eye.  It's shiny, bright yellow covering really stood out against the dark burgundy of our new school's carpet.  There was a mob of people walking toward it, but I knew I had a duty to save the little guy or girl.  I kept her for the next week using her as my book mark for Siddartha that we read during English 10 Honors.  I have grown quite attached to her so I shall give her a name.  I think Aphrodite is suitable enough although it seems to be a paradox.  This paper clip is so bright, sunny, and seemingly cheerful.  Whereas Aphrodite is like the Goddess of Hate, or something like that.
Enjoy APHRODITE! TAKE GOOD CARE OF HER!!!! :)

Some judge others hate but yet there are people in the world who love and care.  Life is a roller coaster wherever you go there will be ups and downs.  Some may look at you funny but don't let that affect you.  Just give them a smile and don't say anything.  Be glad you are who you are and live your own life.  My everyday life is like this and maybe yours is too but whatever you do just hold your head high and be proud of who you are!

"To My Dad"
I never knew you part
of me didn't want to.
Filled with so much
anger and hate I
hadn't met you till 
I was eight.  The first
time I met you was at
my house.  You were so
tall, I felt like a mouse.
We sat on the couch, 
you said, "I'm your father"
I then asked, "Why bother?"
Tears welled in my little
girl eyes, my emotion conflict
getting the better.  He spoke
with a slang, had dreadlocks
and a beard.  I always
thought, this can't be
my f...

Description: small, red

Dark & Frightening
like a child in a blind fold
running through a field of land
minds, daisies, rabid tigers, and
tiny soft hampsters
not knowing where your feet
will take you
hoping that you don't end up with
burnt soles, but rather baby
soft skin
But in this darkness I feel a 
tug, guiding by the tigers' roar
and through the gracing
of daisies
It's bright and strong the tugging
but also warm and I feel safe.
I trust this warm light and let it
guide me through the ter...

This is the story of some Paperclips.  My first clip was Purple.  That's my favorite color.  I was very determined to keep it constantly.  That failed.  My first clip was holding out strong for me.  It was on at every marching band contest.  It felt the way I put my heart and soul in my performances.  It was then on November 3, 2012, when I walked off the field at State.  For every hug and every tear.  That's not all that clip went through.  It we...

Description: Red, standard

I've kept this paper clip attached to my agenda book for a week of my sophomore year.  My sophomore year has taught me more than anyone can fathom.  I've gained precious, priceless relationships with different people, lost relationships with people, and realized who I really am as a person.
The most recent relationship is with -----------.  I honestly never saw myself talking to her.  Until one day, between passing periods she got me to hold a scorpio...

            I emptied my coat pockets after a long Friday afternoon. The students in the media center had been loud and energetic. Cell phone, paper clip, keys went drop, drop, drop on the countertop. I looked at my cell phone and tried to switch gears fro...

*Special Note: This paperclip was attached to a letter that was given to me from someone who is very dear to my heart.  The whole letter will not be posted here, but the Bible verse that accompanied it will be.  (My utmost thanks goes out to this person, you are awesome!!) 

"Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever." -Hebrews 13:8

In times of trouble we can keep this in mind and remember how God is dependable even when nothing else is. :)
