So March has been taken over with Mock Trial. Mock Trial is a competitive team where the students receive a court case with witness statements. They then must write questions, prepare to be the witnesses, prepare to be lawyers, and prepare to be bailiffs. They then go to the courthouse and present their case against another team that is doing the opposite side. It is really really exciting. But it TAKES OVER MY LIFE!!!! I have been doing all of the practices after school and everything. It has been so crazy and I have gotten so behind in everything. But my teams keep winning. (Each school is allowed to have two teams so I have two teams.)
Good News: Both of my teams are in the top 4 teams of the state of Utah. So SO awesome!!!!!
Bad News: There next round is against each other. Today was almost unbearable. The trash talking and the fact it is tearing apart our class. We used to think like one team and now they are fighting with so much passion
Good News: I am guaranteed to have a team in the finals. Whoever wins the next round will go to the final round and could possibly win the whole thing! That is exciting and helps me to earn points with my principal.
Still the problem is it could be either team and they are being brutal to one another and playing dirty because they know each other so well.

Garden
The garden died
Rain does not come
No care given
Weeds creep and crawl
The owner exclaims,
"What a shame!"
"It used to be so colorful and lovely!"
"It Used to be worthwhile"
Still the garden is ignored
Still no rain
Still more weeds
Where is the gardener?
Who will nurture this spot?
It dreams of flowers
Yellow, Purple, Pink, Red, Blue
It dream of old days
Who will help the garden grow?
When will it bloom again?
Slowly it forgets how to bloom on its own
Still it dreams of being whole
Rain does not come
No care given
Weeds creep and crawl
The owner exclaims,
"What a shame!"
"It used to be so colorful and lovely!"
"It Used to be worthwhile"
Still the garden is ignored
Still no rain
Still more weeds
Where is the gardener?
Who will nurture this spot?
It dreams of flowers
Yellow, Purple, Pink, Red, Blue
It dream of old days
Who will help the garden grow?
When will it bloom again?
Slowly it forgets how to bloom on its own
Still it dreams of being whole
Abandoned
The House
Envy of the Town
Inviting Lights
Celebration Parties
Laughter floating down
Music loud and happy
Joy abounding
Atmosphere of Love
Everything attractive and inviting
The same house
Empty
Dark
Lonely
Scary
No one goes near it
Where is the Love?
Family?
Joy?
