Treasures in a Box by Pamela Harazim
Come, look with me inside this drawer,
In this box I've often seen,
At the pictures, black and white,
Faces proud, still, serene.
I wish I knew the people;
These strangers in the box,
Their names and all their memories
Are lost among my socks.
I wonder what their lives were like.
How did they spend their days?
What about their special times?
I'll never know their ways.
If only someone had taken time
To tell who, what, where, when,
These faces of my heritage
Would come to life again.
Could this become the fate
Of the pictures we take today?
The faces and the memories
Someday to be tossed away?
Make time to save your pictures,
Seize the opportunity when it knocks,
Or someday you and yours could be
The strangers in the box.
What will your memories 'sound' like?

I have two questions. Do we have to follow presentation policy and is it okay if mine is two pages instead of 1 and 1/2?
cady mr buxton said it would be pushing the limits if it was 1 and a half pages.
cady, try to take out some sentences that are not that nessesary.
also, you can bring 2 copies to school... 1 copy following presentation policy and 1 not.

Sorry the last one was my bad copy! *READ* THIS ONE! Dear Classmates,
Constructing myself on how to become a better pupil has truly become a colossal portion of my Lower School excursion. From mind breaking technology to important judgments and relationship building, nothing has been more memorable during my seven years of life at Charlotte Latin School than my struggle to become the best student possible.
As I watch the mouse drift across the innovated silver MAC, the mouse clicks on Safari, word, and Power Point. Before long, I begin to reflect on how far technology has come since 1936, when the first computer launched in the United States. During my years at CLS, technology became an integral part life. For example, in first grade I used the Internet, second grade I was told how to use the keyboard, 3rd grade typing up papers, and 4th grade remembering where the keys are placed on the magnificent computers today. In applying these skills, Web 2.0 shortly became a part of my academic life. Computers have grown so much and as my computer teacher Mrs. Harris’s poster says, “The only thing wrong with computers is they do exactly what you tell them.”
Just as technology helped me grow as a pupil, my teachers have helped me gain new perspectives on the world. I can imagine Mr. Buxton scribbling notes on the sterile, white board reading “Never Judge by Appearance”. During the activity of judgments our class reviewed a picture of Hitler hugging a young girl. As well as me, most of the class thought Hitler was portrayed as a father or babysitter for a young girl. Also another example comes to me as a picture Mr. Buxton showes us of a bomber in normal clothes. More than enough students envisioned the man as a solider or gentlemen; portraying how hard it can be to not judge. Nevertheless, the lesson showed to NEVER judge by appearance, and I wont ever do so again.
On a winter day the groups of mixed colors sit around producing similarities as classmates realize a different race can have the same similarities. To begin, a very important example is my relationship building between the KIPP kids. Maybe I didn’t become as close friends to them as I have with some of my friends, but I feel as if I learned how to build a strong team. To emphasize, I remembering envisioning the kids to be subdue, different, and mean. Although without a doubt, the kids of KIPP opened my eyes to teamwork and the power to learn.
To conclude, I couldn’t repay my wonderful teachers such as Mrs. Cook, Mrs. Parks, Mrs. Russell, Mrs. Latham, and Mr. Buxton for teaching me about tons of skills I can use later in life. For example, technology I can apply for school, judgments when I encounter a individual that doesn’t catch my eye, and relationship building when I must act social to someone completely new. All in all, Lower School years of technology, judgments, and relationships will soon end , and I will learn to apply in my future years.
