Fear 
I used to be afraid of the monsters under my bed 
Under a sea of blankets, I’d lay down my head 
But as I grew older I had come to find 
That the scariest of monsters were inside my mind 
However there is no need to be scared 
From these words of advice I was spared 
Son, having knowledge is wealth 
And the only thing to fear is fear itself

Original Poem

Kathryn Stone Ms. Asuncion English 9H Block 2 5 October, 2015 Times of the Year We start with fall. Leaves crumbling from the branches. Orange, red, yellow and brown. Floating in the wind. Kids knocking from door to door. Dressed in costumes, collecting candy. Pumpkins scattered all over the neighborhood. Next we have winter. Snowing falling from the sky. Every snowflake unique. Your fingers so cold, they become numb. Waking up with the surprise of no school. Making snow angels and having snowball fights. The warm embrace of the holidays. Then we have spring. Rain plunging from the sky. Plants popping from the ground. Purple, yellow, pink and green. The Easter Bunny visits the kids’ homes. Kids playing in the puddles of the streets. People dancing in the rain. Finally we have summer. The sun shining. No school. Kids outside, playing all day. Road trips across the country. Planes flying high, making memories for fam...

Business Letter to Frito-Lay

Shreya Vundela Ms. Asuncion English 9 October 2015 Business Letter to Frito-Lay 42176 Gentle Falls Dr. Ashburn, VA 20148 October 19, 2015 7701 Legacy Dr. Plano, TX 75024 Dear Mr. Greco, I greatly enjoy all of the different varieties of chips that Frito-Lay makes. I have been eating the chips for as long as I can remember, and it ’ s almost as if the chips have been a great part of my childhood. I can probably think of so many good (and not so good) memories that I associate with each chip brand. I also love all of the different flavors of the chips. In Lays, I like the BBQ chips flavor. In Doritos I absolutely love the spicy sweet chili flavor. On top of all of that, I like that the chip brands come up with such unique flavors and ideas that are out of the box, to keep us consumers on the edge of our seat. Each time a new flavor comes out I get very eager to try it. Although I love these chips very much, I do have some concerns. First, in Doritos,...

A Perfectly Planned Vacation Gone Wrong

Umika Tunuguntla   Ms. Asuncion   English 9 Honors, Block: 2   2 December 2015   A Perfectly Planned Vacation Gone Wrong   A very exciting, but stressful vacation that I had was when I traveled to India in December two years ago. I was e xcited to go because it was my u ncle’s marriage, and because I was going to be able to visit my family after a long time. My mom left two weeks earlier than us, so she could help with preparations, and we stayed  since we could not miss  too many days of school. Those two weeks were full of anticipation and  hard work  at school , so they flew by  quickly. On the morning that we were leaving, we checke d everything around the house because we knew we wo uldn’t be back for a month.    At the airport ,  there was a  line that looked as long as an  airplane itself. We got there late, so we were one of the last people in line. When we finally made it to the...
