*You Can*
If you think your beaten , you are.
If you think you dare not , you don't.
If you'd like to win, but think you can't.
It's almost certain you won't.
If you think you'll loose , your lost.
For out in the world we find success
begins with a fellows will.
It's a state of mind.
Lifes battles don't always go to the
strongest or faster man .
But sooner or later the man who wins
is the man who THINKS he can .
*For Mrs Shaw , cos she sticks these things all around the school *
*FAITH*
It's called FAITH
I guess it would be nice...
if you could touch your body,
I know not everybody
has got a body like me ..
But i gotta think twice
before I give my heart away
and I know all the games you play
cos I play them too
ohh I need some time off from that emotion.
Time to pick my heart up off the floor
when our love comes down without devotion
when the taste is strong and I hate it
I'll be showing you that door
cos i gotta have FAITH.

*magics in the makeup*
Can you tell I'm faking it ?
But I want to be myself
A counterfeit disposition
Can't be good for my health
So many different faces
Depending on the different phases
My personality changes
I'm a chameleon
Theres more than one dimension
I can fool you and attract attention
Camoflague my nature
Let me demonstrate.
Makeups all off
Who am I?
Magics in the Makeup...so ...who am i ?
*No Doubt*
*Josie Gellars , Never Been Kissed article*
Some one once told me to write well you have to write what you know.
This is what I know.
I am twenty-five years old . I have never really kissed a guy . A geek to the core , i spent most of my childhood years doing homework I requested from the teacher.
High school was much of the same . Then at seventeen , it seemed as if my luck was about to change .The cutest guy in school asked me to the senior prom . But it turned out to be a cruel joke . I have never fully recovered.
Yes, it is embarassing to share this with the world . But it would be hard to explain what i learned and how i learned it , with out sharing this humiliating story.
I recieved an assignment , my first as a reporter , to enroll in high school, as a student , to gain some insight into kids today .
Understandably , returning to school was my worst nightmare.
What i found ?
Those girls are still there . the ones that , evern as you grow up , wil still be the most beatiful girls that you have ever seen close up.
The athletes , and the immense sense of fraternity and loyalty that they share.
The smart kids- who everyone else always knew as the brains . But who i knew as my soul mates , my teachers , my friends .
And theres still that one guy , the one so perfect in every way , from the muscles in his shoulders to the way he , in his own way , struggles to uphold tradition . South glen wouldn't have been the same without him.
All of these things made me miserbale at seventeen . But at twenty five i finally see that this -all of this- is just the way it should be. Its all part of the thing called high school . A time in our lives that we can never trully repeat.A time that makes us who we are , for years to come.
High school. Going through it the first time helped make me who I am . But going there a second time made me see that I am okay .. I always wanted to be "in" , but seven years later when they finally opened the door, i somehow gained the confidence to stay outside, firmly, happily.
This is not the article I was sent to write . This is the article I needed to write. I lived a lifetime of regret after my first high -school experience, and now after my second , my regrets are down to one.
* For me , cos I can relate to her story loads ! Never been kissed was an ace film*
