Singapore American School…1

Singapore
American
School is a lot larger, spacious and dramatic than any other school I have ever attended or even visited. SAS has 3,417 students that attended the school from early Childhood to High school. The 8th grade alone has 319 kids, which is about the average of ever grade in the school.

          There are different areas of the school, and each level of learning. There is an area that is only for elementary, an area that is only fro middle school and an area that is only meant for high scholars. The Middle school wing is broken up into three sections, 6th, 7th, and 8th grade. Each section is 3 levels. These levels are called sides. In the 8th grade we have 319 kids that are broken up into three floors. There is A side which is the bottom floor, B side the second and middle floor, and C side the third and top floor.  Each side has about 100 kids that have all their core classes on that level. I am on A side, the bottom floor. On this floor I have my locker, English class, science class, and social studies class. My math class is on C side only because I am in a high level math. My other classes are in different areas of the school.

          Each school has its own facilities and SAS is the master of them. We have the following: 3 Fields (one is like the ISKL field, artificial), 5 Gyms, 5 Theaters, 1 (huge) climbing wall, 5 Dance studios, 2 fully operated drama studios, 3 pools, 2 cafeterias, 3 libraries, 1 400meter track, 2 base ball fields, 5 (or 6) tennis courts, 1 high ropes course, 4 locker rooms, 1 SUBWAY!!!, 1 smoothie bar, and a lot of other things! As you can see you can do just about anything that you want after school. Unfortunately middle scholars’ are not up for varsity team until high school.

          I know about 150 kids in the 8th grade so far. The 100 on my side, and then the 50 more from other sides. I know them from other sides because electives, P.E., math classes are all three side mixed. This is just to mix us up al little more and not be stuck with the same 100 kids.

          We use Powerschool and Black Board instead of Edline, and personally they are so much easier to use then Edline. Powerschool is the teachers grading system that we can see. So every grade that the teachers give for everything goes onto Powerschool and kids can see it and even check it daily and it has been updated.

Fun SAS facts: Each class has an average of 22 kids. There are soap dispensers in all the showers in the locker rooms. We are not allowed backpacks during school hours; you MUST use your locker. You are not allowed to turn in things done in any color other than blue or black. We have a free dress day about ever week, and we do not have to pay for them. Our morning announcements are on the TV. like a news station. Homeroom is called home base and goes for 20 minutes not 5.

Just Go…4

Mixed emotions, torn apart, forever more you see 

She never believed in real life until she really began to see

It was time for her to go.

Time for her to make the right choice.

She was thinking about one thing, but everyone thought of something else for her.

She couldn’t seem to find her way through the darkened halls and ivy walls.

Impossible she said.

So she laid down her head and cried for a while.

They all came down and sat beside her.

The memories that flowed within her veins, they sat there for a while.

After a long time.

They finally spoke.

They said.

Just go. Away. For a while. Clear your head. Let your hair down. Just go…. away…. for us. Your passion crying “go for us”… We are here dying away and you are just sitting here watching. Here we are. Telling you to, just go.

Think.Then speak, don’t just say it, believe it. Now.

Just go. Don’t wait. Climb it. Don’t hesitate.

No one could smile…4

You should seen us, after that night that we spent with you, crying we were, endless to be.

We couldn’t get it through our systems, that you were going, we just couldn’t believe it.

You have done so much to help us.

You’ve been there when we called gor you, in darkness or in the light.

You would hever guess what we all said in our hearts, in our hearts, we didn’t speak a word.

No one could smile.

No one could laugh, at all.

We acted happy all day, but inside we cried.

No one could say your name with out a sheading a tear.

No one could pass another with out saying “did you hear, about her, leaving us here.”

By now your on that plane, you’ve gotten off, and gone home, were you thinking of us, when said good bye to this place

We will never forget your smile.

No one could ever bring back your laughter ,that filled that halls.

No one will smile, again, for a while, you see.

Because right now we’re crying, our lives fulled with sorrow, this is for you, when you are gone.

No could, and never will smile fully with out you……

By: Taylor - for all those you have just lost Paula as a friend. Smile please. It hurts all of us.

The Joy…5

The joy of a smile comes from within.

The joy of laughter is suddenly mine.

The joy I have when im with you.

Is the joy of knowing you might like me too.

Deep down inside, I know you love the person beside me.

But that will never stop me having this joy.

When I see you smile, laugh, jump and call my name.

You whisper about me, and laugh at my jokes,

What does it mean when I feel this way.

Explain to me why I can never forget you.

And how I love you so much that I always wanna be with you.

Just answer me, and get it over and done with,

Do you love me?

Do you wanna be with me?

Have you got the courage to love me?

By: Taylor - for a friend. Dont give up you never know.

Siberia…2

When you come back I won’t be here 
He said and gently pulled me near
If you want to talk you can call
And no it’s not your fault

I just smiled and said let go of me
But there’s something that I’ve just gotta know
Did someone else steal my part? 
He said it’s not my fault

Then my heart did time in Siberia
Was waiting for the lie to come true
‘Cause it’s all so dark and mysterious
When the one you want doesn’t want you too

I was drifted in between
Like I was on the outside looking in 

In my dreams you are still here
Like you’ve always been

My heart did time in Siberia
Was waiting for the lie to come true
‘Cause it’s all so dark and mysterious
When the one you want doesn’t want you too

I gave myself away completely
But you just couldn’t see me
Though I was there righ beside you

Cause someone else was on your mind
In your head

When I came back he wasn’t there
Just a note left on the stairs
If you want to talk give me a call

My heart did time in Siberia
Was waiting for the lie to come true
‘Cause it’s all so dark and mysterious
When the one you want doesn’t want you too
When the one that you want doesn’t want you

~This is my favotite piece of writing in the whole world right now. I changed the she’s to he’s so that it would make more sence for me, and modified just a little bit. If you can guess where I got it from, the name of the writers, you will get the tilte of Smartest Person EVER. - hint- its not a poem.~
