She’s the First Poetry Month 2012 Submission!

           Students were asked to write a poem answering the question: 

           If the World Was Your Classroom, What Would you teach a girl?

                                                                         —-

It doesn’t matter how much you weigh,

if you’re straight, lesbian, or gay,

you are beautiful in every way.

Tell yourself this every day,

then and only then may

others believe what you say.

Don’t allow yourself to be someone’s prey,

you are just as great as all the things they

desperatly try to portray.

-Kristy, College Student
