Change-journal topic note

Poem assignment

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood...
I took the one
less traveled by.
And that has made
all the difference.
  I like this poem because we all have choices and its up to us to decide which is the right one. There isn't really anything I dislike about this poem. It explains life pretty well in so little words.What path are you gonna take?

Immigrants of our own land

When it comes to Righetti I don't see it as a school, I see it more like a prison. Our school is a closed campus it makes us feel like zoo animals. Maybe bad things wouldn't happen, like the lock down, if it were open .We are forced here more or less and we learn what teachers want us to. I think that if you treat us like prisoners we are going to act like prisoners. I like the teachers at our school some of the people are alright as well. Our school is just kind of complicated, I guess. We are good kids, well most, we just are teenagers and some teenagers can't respect any authority.
