Martyniuk Period 2

The summer is like cold cherry slushies from Dairy Queen.
The winter is like warm hot chocolate to keep you warm.

The summer is like that feeling you get when you’re driving to the beach.
The winter is like the cold wind whooshing against your face when you sled down a steep hill.

The summer is like seeing everyone outside even when it gets dark.
The winter is like seeing the first snow falling on the ground after the long summer and fall.

The summer is like smelling the smoke from your neighbor’s barbeques.
The winter is like smelling the wood burning stoves heating the houses.

The summer is like packing away your snow boots.
The winter is like putting your flip flops to the back of your closet.

The summer is like when you build the tallest sand castle on the beach.
The winter is like building a family of snowmen in your back yard.

My favorite season is summer. Hanging out with my friends until ten playing man hunt, drinking cherry slushies, going to the beach, why wouldn’t it be my favorite?

Victory is denying drugs and alcohol under the peer pressure of your friends.
Defeat is giving in to peer pressure and putting your life at risk.

Victory is getting an A for your hard work.
Defeat is not studying and getting an F.

Victory is hustling down the court and getting your team’s game-winning shot.
Defeat is not giving it 110% and losing to the other team.

Victory is the hard earned path.
Defeat is the easy-way down the path.

Weak and Strong

Weak is like hearing you have cancer and you decided to give up.
Strong is like knowing your life could be over and you keep fighting through it.

Weak is like running a race and you stop to walk because you know you aren’t going to win.
Strong is like when you keep running and are happy you crossed the finish line with all your effort.

Weak is like when you’re down by a lot in a game and you want to quit.
Strong is like fighting back and getting the team pumped so no matter if you win or lose you will still be on top.

Weak is like trying to be someone you’re not and worrying about what people think of you.
Strong is like being who you want to be and no one could change that.

Weak is giving up and not caring.
Strong is fighting through your life for the best way to be.

Winning and Losing

Winning is like eating filet mignon, soft and flavorful.
Losing is like eating steamed cabbage.

Winning is like a happy wedding, cheerful and exciting.
Losing is like a funeral, quiet and sad.

Winning is like smooth, calm music playing.
Losing is like sitting through an opera.

Everybody wants to win, but everyone loses once in a while.

A win is like a soccer team who trains hard everyday and works hard in every game.
A loss is like a team that uses steroids and wins their games.
A win is like getting 100’s every time on quizzes and tests and getting all A’s on their report card.
A loss is like failing in school and dropping out.
A win is like doing good deeds and caring for old people.
A loss is like spraying graffiti on your school or on a public sidewalk and doing bad things.
A win is like eating a crispy green salad with creamy ranch dressing and running afterwards.
A loss is like eating junk food everyday and developing heart problems.
A win is like achieving goals in life.
A loss is like failing in life with no job or care about yourself.
Wins are wonderful but we need the losses to get the wins.

Friends are like old dogs, loyal trustworthy, and never leave your side.
Foes are like puppies, innocent on the outside, but destructive on the inside.
A friend is like a diamond, special and hard to find.
A foe is like aluminum, fake and cheap.
A friend is like a present, mysterious but always a joy.
A foe is like the credit card after Christmas, unwanted and unneeded.
A friend is like a tuned guitar, always a joy to listen to.
A foe is like nail on a chalkboard, irritating and painful.
Always go towards friends.
And beware of foes in disguise.

Good luck is when you have water to put out the fire by the printer.
Bad luck is when you start the fire when no one is there.

Good luck is when you haven’t studied for a big test and get an A
Bad luck is when you studied, but got an F-

Good luck is when you forget your house keys and find the spare under the mat
Bad luck is when you have your keys but the locks have been changed

Good luck is when you are thrown the football and get a touchdown
Bad luck is when you get the ball but was tackled right in front of the end zone

White is like a successful farm, overflowing with crops.
Black is like an unsuccessful farm, overflowing with tears.

White is like a new house, clean and new.
Black is like an abandoned house, old and unattractive.

White is like a new puppy, young and full of energy.
Black is like an old dog, warn out and unwanted.

White is like a baby shower, filled with joy and love.
Black is like a funeral, filled with tears depression and sorrow.

White is memories no one forgets but, Black is the memories you can’t forget.

Summer and Winter

Summer is like all
The blossoming flowers
On a warm sunny day.

Winter is like getting grounded to
Your room for a month and looking
At the same white walls.

Summer is like throwing your
Fishing line in the water and
Waiting to bring that huge
Fish to shore.

Winter is like when you
Can’t go outside because
The cold brisk air freezes
Your arms and legs.

Summer is like all the
Beautiful trees with
Their emerald colored
Leaves gleaming
In the forest.

Winter is like attending
A funeral of someone
You love very much.

Summer is what everyone
Desires and winter is the
Season that everyone hates,
And hopes to pass very soon.
