TEENAGERS

They arrive totally absorbed to class

Eagerly awaiting the first word to be said

Excited to interact and share with others

Nevertheless reserved when experiencing the unknown

Affection and understanding they seek

Going ahead of thoughts and questions still unasked

Encouraged by triumph in grades to pursue their goals

Reluctant to accept academic defeat

Souvenirs of bitter-sweet moments they leave

5 Teen's Things!

  5 Teens’ Things!

Impatient as they might be,

Being creative is in their list,

Character they never seemed to lack,

Also being technological is never hard.

Teens energetic way more than me,

Let them be as innovative as they can be!

José González!

To all my Shine students who always make me laugh and have a good time!

Acrostic Poem

Adjectives: Stubborn, Persistent, Noisy, Cheerful, Easily distracted

Teenagers

Thinking of teens as stubborn

Easily distracted individuals will

End up in an unfair opinion.

No other stage in life people are

As persistent as teens.

Giving them the adjective of noisy is

Equally unfair, one should

Rather see them as cheerful

Students energizing the class

 

Jorge Luis Mendoza Valladares

Teen Poem

They are enthusiastic,
They are moody,

They are noisy but

They are creative

They want to conquer the world

They are adventurous

Sometimes they don't even know 

What they want to do

They are teens

Teens

Too young to know

Too rough the road

Teens love a challenge

Fear is not their biggest talent

Jumping and running

Stomping and shouting

Teens love a problem

Don't solve it, don't try to hold them.

Freedom, their desire

No strings can tangle their inner star

A SONNET for TEENS

Oh teacher, needing a hero who cares indeed,
Nobody seems to understand my world;
Nobody seems to comprehend what I like or need,
Shall I listened to a boring word?
What about an enliven class, where I`m the center? 
Why not singing, playing what I like?
Shall ennui, hopelessly demotivate a teenager,
Making him feel down? What is all this about?
Remember, I might not be the smartest learner,
or most experienced one, just understand me more;
Remember you`re the responsible to treat me better
Oh don`t forget, I´m not a child anymore
   I am not an adult either, just do not tell me   
   everything to be done, and just let me be
