Something From Nature:
We have seen a lot of this bunny lately. At first, I adored her, but now my opinion has changed. I don't remember her name, but lately you could definitely use the words "annoying, poopy, or squirmy" to describe her.

Something That Will Always Remind You of Being at KHS:
The debate room will always remind me of Kickapoo. Debate has always been my favorite part of my high school experience and always will be. The memories I have made in this room will always be an important part of my life.

Someone Who Makes You Laugh/Smile:
Tony is one of my newer friends at Kickapoo, and he is someone here that never fails to crack me up. We sit together at lunch and I am always guaranteed to cackle when Tony is around. We mostly just make weird noises and make fun of Jessica Lange from American Horror Story. I know I'm going to miss him when I graduate.

Something that Looks Like a Face:
If you tilt your head sideways, you can see it. I thought it was kind of funny because I probably looked weird to whoever it was watching the security cameras.

A Book:
I love this book. I read it for an English 3 H project last year, and it really impacted me. I have always enjoyed David Levithan's work because his characters center around the LGBT community. The concept of this book is so unique and I recommend it to any teenager struggling with their identity.

Something a Kid Might Notice:
Mrs. Armstrong's room is filled with fun posters, and this Scooby Doo one caught my eye. I loved Scooby Doo as a kid, and I think it is amazing that a TV show from the 60s can still be interesting to a kid today.

Something Round:
Clocks will always be essential to my high school career. I always find myself watching the clock during the day, counting down the days until I finally get to go home and procrastinate on my homework.

Something Handwritten:
Mrs. BK's board was always what I looked to for assignments. I'm sure it is annoying for teachers to have to write their objectives every day, but it sure is nice for the student because we would always know what we had to do for the day. (And start on the assignment instead of listening to the lesson.)

Someone I'd Like to be More Like:
Mrs. BK has always been an inspiration to me. She is such an understanding teacher. If a student has a late assignment because of something they can't help, she always understands. I feel like she makes herself such an available resource for students that are lonely, struggling, or depressed. I would definitely like to be someone like her when I am an adult.

Something Square:
Mrs. Wyrick's class was the first class I ever had in high school. I remember what I wore that day, thinking I was super stylish, even though I looked weird. I remember being in that class with a bunch of seniors who needed their second language credit to graduate. We had to greet each other by saying, "hola guapo/a", which means handsome or beautiful. I felt so awkward saying that as a freshman.

Someone Who Has Taught You Something:
Mr. Baney is my favorite teacher at Kickapoo, and he is also one of my favorite people on this planet. He has been such an amazing coach and friend to me for these past three years. He is a teacher that genuinely cares, which is something that is hard to come by in high schools. He has taught me so much more than communication skills. He has taught me about life.

Something That is Beautiful:
I worked really hard on this pumpkin. I have never taken an art class, but I still love to do art in my free time. Even though it got ruined in the rain, I was proud of how it turned out.
#capturedatitspeak
Something That Makes You Feel Nostalgic:
When I think about Kickapoo, I think of my best friend. I met Caleb in my freshman health class. He lives in Arkansas right now, but he came to visit at Kickapoo not too long ago. I will never forget sitting with him at lunch, getting in trouble for talking, seeing each other for a few minutes before class, being in a few classes with him, and texting him in class when I wasn't supposed to. I have Kickapoo to thank for bringing us together.

These are great! I hope you express your feelings to BK and Baney before you graduate--your admiration and gratitude would mean so much to them. Perhaps you already have. I love the way you see the world!
