Poem

Practice makes perfect in order to achieve
Although after practicing in the end you leave
Is it worth it, giving up everything you've got,
Rarely it is, but most times it's not

Pain and tears are part of the training,
But so is physical and mental draining,
What do you do after you succeed?
Move onto the next trick, until you are pleased

Broken legs and broken hearts,
Practice is where the problem starts,
Limp on back to the gym for more,
All to get an unfair score,

Finally up to your last nerve,
You leave to be treated as you deserved,
But where can you go after the game?
Nowhere, and you are the only one to blame.

Spring Break

Spring Break 2011 My senior spring break this year was an experience i will never forget. This year i had the priviledge of going to Beijing China with the concert band. We left early in the morning on monday to meet at the airport, excited as i was i ran out of the door. So, we all meet at the airport and we said our goodbyes to our parents and headed off for the long plane ride. The plane ride to Japan was a long and grusome 11 hours and then the next flight to Beijing was 3 hours. Finally, we made it safely to our hotel around dark and we went to bed so we could wake up for the exciting plans that we had the next day. So, the next day we woke up at 6 30, we quickly changed and then went downstairs to have a wonderful hotel breakfast. Then we completed all the stuff the Simons had planned for us that day like the Forbidden City and other amazing sight seeings. As the days flew by we had so many things to do for example play for the Conservator, which is one of the top school bands in China!!! Which was really nerveracking. So, skipping to the last day we climbed the Great Wall of China, which was my favorite experience. Then the next day we packed up and sadly left China to go home.
