My contribution
What I am coming with to the group is me, my ways that I [feel?] about life. I feel like everyone is different in a way. I am coming with my view and my way that I see life. I am so glad that I have the chance to do something different that I can tell everyone about. This is something that I think that I would like to teach everyone about; not just people my age but anyone who does not know.
So, what I would bring to the group is a leader for everyone to show them that there is so much out here in the world that we have not yet seen. I am here because it is something new that I have never seen or done before and something I never would think I would do or get the chance to do. And me, as being a young person, I feel that you should try everything almost and give everything a try. What I am going to take back[:] I think a better outlook on life and everything in my life. I think it makes you mature a little and you get a bigger and better picture on life and a lot of other things.

The movement is nature itself
The movement is nature itself the birds and grass would talk for themselves the wind and the clouds would have a story to tell but what about she ? That she would be me because nothing stays still for long. Everything I see it moves[;] everything I touch it moves[;] and, every thing that touches me it moves. Everything 
around me has life.The trees that give me ai, the wind that blows that makes me cold, the clouds that I see that make you wonder, the grass that smells like no other. I am she and she is me. I can relate to all I see when I dream. I float like the clouds in the sky when I sing or think of a song. I think of the birds when I close my eyes and I lay my head onto the grass I think of home and my fluffy pillow. The tress keep me cool so still I say that everything still moves.
New friends
I don't know what to write. I am not feeling anything today. I just feel like I am enjoying myself, but I miss my friends but I know that when it is time to go that I am going to miss the new friends that I have made when I got here like Anna & Sair. I am going to miss them because they have gotten so close to me.
