I've been in the "summertime" of my life for quite sometime now. At age sixteen some people may find that hard to believe that I'm actually mature,but i have meet many kids younger than me who act the same also. The best definition i could give for "summertime" would be, just living your live,still active,playful but knowing how to control yourself.
Not being Goofy is a huge sign for me being in summertime.Meaning that I know when to be serious. For instance controlling my laughter,when it needs to be controlled, staying calm cool and collected. I think that its only certin times and places when you should run around. Play and joke.Then there's times when i need to set good examples. I know many teenagers my age who haven't matured get "Mainly boys". I came to this conclusion from a recent altercation. One day while on the bud there were about 6 or 7 Teenagers and some were yelling, cursing and jumping around basically acting like fools being as though there were elder people on the bus and younger kids made it even worse. Disrespectful was what they were being towards everyone on the bus. Many people my age are still in the spring time of there life
Another trait i think I have is Responsibility. Being responsible means i do what I have to,I've understood that it's not always what I want sometimes. When there is work to be done I stay on task, letting nothing distract me because I know its up to me to get what have to done and not rely on anyone for anything . One of my biggest Responsibilities would have to be watching my little sister. She makes my job harder because everything i do or say makes a huge influence on her. Just a couple of days ago i was on the phone and i use the phrase "chill out young" not knowing that she was listening. But soon finding out later. I heard her use it while talking to our little cousin who is much younger. The whole situation made me laugh but at the same time that's when I noticed I had to watch what i say. While reading marigold, I think Ms. Lottie showed a lot of responsibility as a character. She had to take care of her marigolds, by watering them,make sure they were growing right and keeping them up.
if i would say so myself, My conscience has gotten stronger as I've gotten older. I find myself really sitting down thinking hard of every possible out come for any situation. My conscience is that first thing I listen t before I ask anyone for advice. Lizabeth developed her conscience at a young age,but her brother still hasn't.
Unpacking my suite cases,throwing all my clothes in the dresser because I'm about to enjoy my summer vacation. I recommend that everyone gets here quick and in a hurry!.

PERIOD3 ROMERO
If i could define the word women in one word i would say extraordinary.
Everyone should take the time out to relize how special "we" really are. when i came across this poem i had to read it. Even though there was somethings about it i didnt really like i got over it,because it was such a interesting poem.
While reading this poem i could connect to it very well, the title,"Women"written by Alice Walker. Being as though i am a women i became attracted to it even more. I think this poem focused on strong women mainly. A reason why i came to this conclusion is because walker quoted "husky of voice and stout of step." After reading this i instantly thought of my grandmother, because she was a strong women who never relied on anyone.
Secondly i didnt really like how random the poem became once i started reading. The poet would jump from one thing to another, not going in any specific order. While i read on i noticed that it didnt ryhme at all. Many of the quotes made since when i looked at them in a different perspective. for example "how they batterd down doors". As soon as i read "batterd" i thought of batter you use to cook food, and since doors was added i thought of strong,because a door can be heavy. So actually two messages came from that one quote.
One thing i really loved abut the poem,is how many images popped up while i read. many of the images showed what women are capable of and some were more imaginary, for instance. "How they lead armies head dragged generals". This showed that not only are women strong in a way but that we can accomplish many things.
never uderestimate us because without women there would be no you.
