Feeling a wave of adrenaline rush over me as I step on to the ice, Skating at lightning speed, The ice is as smooth and shiny as glass, Feeling the cool breeze on my face as I fly down the rink, Intense, fast paced, non-stop action, The sound of my stick smashing the puck, Watching the puck glide across the ice at the speed of light. Quickly dropping my gloves as a fight erupts, Fighting with full force until the referee steps in, The satisfaction of seeing missing teeth and blood, as long as it’s not mine, Slowly heading to the penalty box to do my time. Feeling the excitement of scoring a goal, Hearing the roar of the crowd cheering at the top of their lungs. Successfully making it past the playoffs to the championship series, Winning the Stanley Cup is the ultimate prize, The spectacular sterling silver trophy, Thirty-five inches tall and weighing in at thirty-four pounds, Hoisting it over my head as I skate my victory lap, Celebratory champagne shower in the locker room, That would be my dream come true. Austin Bailey Grade 7 RTS Middle School, Susquehanna Valley CSD Mr. O’Leary Bonds I dreamed of an organization That harmonizes A bond of bonds, united as one They see the world, through different eyes, through different minds. They are one person, a single body Many are one, one is many Loyalty dictates us, as does love We may not be bonded in blood, we are bound in loyalty. Single, we fall to the hate of the world Together, we can survive a million blows In times of need, we give to one another We feed each other hope, and give each other love. We are all different, not one alike Yet we still hear the voices of one another’s minds We may struggle, yet give in to both dreams We fight, ending with a re-known bond. In the battle, we are against one another Yet in the war, we are united. We are bound in the golden coils of loyalty We are a cult, a clan, a family. We create a fortress A defensive tower that can survive a thousand armies. If one of us falls, all of us fall To the horrors that lie beneath us. We all have our dreams They are our purpose But we cannot accomplish it alone We need the foundation of another. Our bonds run deep and strong We are a family by love Logan Everson Grade 7 RTS Middle School, Susquehanna Valley CSD Mr. O’Leary Dreaming Big I dream of one day, being able to be fluent in sign language, I dream of traveling around the world to hopefully see magnificent sights, I dream of graduating high school with pride from earning excellent grades, I dream of excelling in a college from taking ASL, I dream of mastering the skill to ski down gracious mountains and slopes, I dream of having a successful future by trying my best, I dream of having a successful job I am talented in and enjoy, I dream of one day, being able to swim in the Pacific Ocean, smelling the salty water and hearing the gracious waves, I dream of having playing the piano beautifully and correctly, having my fingers play along the keys with ease, I dream of getting superior at painting like a skilled artist, I dream of learning how to hand sew, to make beautiful items, I dream of mastering the skill to play the ukulele, I dream of traveling to snowy, cold Alaska, I dream of getting better at painting nails, I dream of getting better at sewing, so I can sew magnificently on my sewing machine, I dream of getting better at baking, to make delicious food, I dream of being an ASL Interpreter, to help the deaf in need, I dream of growing my hair to be very long, I dream of earning fantastic grades from school, I dream of helping and caring for an animal, by adopting one at an animal shelter, I dream of traveling to Ireland, to discover more about being Irish, I dream of riding my bike in the UK, riding along the roads with the gravel beneath my bike, I dream of getting better at running, so I can feel and know that my asthma will not slow me down, I dream of covering a wall with fantastic pictures I drew like it is a wallpaper, I dream of collecting items from all over the world, I dream of meeting new people from great travels around the world when I am older, I dream of collaborating with someone, to develop my own nail polish I dream of gaining the knowledge of photography, to take beautiful pictures on nature. Jenna Lawrence Grade 7 RTS Middle School, Susquehanna Valley CSD Mr. O’Leary A Successful Life I dream, of one day being able to have a successful life. But, I will have to work a lot to reach these goals. To have a successful life, you need to work on several things. I dream to, Go to college maybe a community college so I can be with my family, But after one or two years, I will look for a better college. And not slack or waste time so that I will graduate. I also dream to Have a wonderful family with at least one child, Have a delighted life with a family that I love, And have a job I enjoy, if I don't enjoy the job, I will quit. But, To achieve all of these dreams, I have to work hard, It may be troublesome, but I will continue to try. No matter what, I will always try. To reach these dreams, I will have to, work hard, and be lively. These things will help me advance in reaching my goals. If I am not working hard or lively, I will not reach my goals. I will also have to focus and pay attention, Have good grades to stay smart, And study hard to pass exams and get into college, To be successful I must do all of these things. Being successful will make feel different ways, It will make me feel as joyous as the laughter of a child. As proud as a queen, And as confident as a falcons flight. Gianna Morabito Grade 7 RTS Middle School, Susquehanna Valley CSD Mr. O’Leary Animals are People Too I dream about rescuing animals, because, They are abused and mistreated. We are all born just wanting, To be, Loved. I dream about rescuing animals because they are innocent, They do nothing wrong, I dream that animals and people are treated the same. I dream that people stop mistreating them, I dream people start loving them, Because, Animals should be treated with the same, Love and affection we give people. I dream that people treat animals how they would want to be treated, Because the animals can't stop you, It is your choice, On how to treat them. I dream that people stop and think to not hurt them, Abusing animals is like damaging a part of the world Abusing animals is like hurting a person. Animals have no control on what you do to them, So treat them right, The first time. I dream that animals have good life, I dream they find a positive home, I dream that they get the care they need, I dream they get treated right, Because, Animals are people too. Katie Howe Grade 7 RTS Middle School, Susquehanna Valley CSD Mr. O’Leary I may be a singer, but I am a dreamer I dream of one day, being able to sing, To make people laugh, with my acting; To have my own television show that I can be confident about. I dream of being known, For singing and acting. Whether it is with words; Or the enjoyment of letting the world hear my voice. I want to perform a concert in Time Square. I want my family to be proud, Whether it is my siblings or my parents. When I sing, I let my worry’s go away. I feel like I'm flying, When I act, I think to myself; This is what I want to do, No matter what people say, I know I can do it. It feels amazing when I am singing; I breathe in, and force the words out of my mouth. I sing the tune until my heart's content. It is amazing knowing that people enjoy what you do, The feeling of knowing you can't mess up the words; To either the script or the tune And when I step up on that stage, I dream, I dream I am flying; I know the people there want to come and see me, And I think to myself; I am proud to be a singer, I am proud to be me. Sydney Burford Grade 7 RTS Middle School, Susquehanna Valley CSD Mr. O’Leary From out of the Ordinary I dream of one day, Being able to help a person That has disabilities That does not allow them to learn as easy. I want to help the children Be able to write the whole Alphabet and their names. I dream of a little adolescent Being able to attend an academy Like other kids and fit in. I dream of going to a really good College to get an internship To be a psychologist so I can learn How to do my job in the best way. I want to be able to help The children to the best Of my abilities. These children did not Choose to be cursed With this disease. People will look at people with disabilities Differently like they are different, When they are just like you and me. If these children can learn as Fast as lightning, then, we Might be a step closer To having them be treated the same. Just because a child looks and acts A little bit out of the ordinary, Does not mean that they are unintelligent Or irrelevant and I am going to confirm that. Kassie Page Grade 7 RTS Middle School, Susquehanna Valley CSD Mr. O’Leary Something Extraordinary I dream of an amazing person, Who did something. That person is me, And that something: is something extraordinary, something that is righteous. Something that is not just extraordinary for me, But extraordinary for all. If you consider our armed services extraordinary, Then this something is for you. If you consider a job that designs for others extraordinary, Then this something is for you. And for meOne term in the forces may not seem like a great deal, But one term can mean a great deal. Designing houses for citizens as newfound as a baby. Designing schools for children that thrive like a sponge. Designing businesses for intrigued entrepreneurs, Designing hospitals for the sick and desperate. All the job for an architect. A giver. This may not seem Like a dream for most dreamers, But this is a dream for me. One Rewarding master's degree, One intriguing job, One important building, One tough term, One extraordinary dream. All somethingSomething extraordinary. Joseph Giammarino Grade 7 RTS Middle School, Susquehanna Valley CSD Mr. O’Leary A Nonviolent World I dream of a, nonviolent world. That everyone can live in unity, That everyone is equal. I dream that, No one has to suffer from bullet wounds. No one is taken away from home, At the cost of violence. War separates peace from disturbance. Many serve and end Their lives in battle. I dream of an admirable, Civil-world. That no one prays their Loved ones aren’t dead. That there is no bloodshed. That everyone is happy and safe, From guns bombs WAR That the beauty of The earth is shown through, All the dust clouds and explosions. I dream of a new-world, Where everyone thinks of Hope, Happiness for the Future generations. That generations after, Realize how we changed, The world for the better. I dream of, A nonviolent world. Madeline Ulma Grade 7 RTS Middle School, Susquehanna Valley CSD Mr. O’Leary My Dream I have a dream of having a true friend, True friends are difficult to find, But you will find one throughout your life. Fake friends are like myths, Not TRUE. They are like chameleons, Can hide their true colors. BEST FRIEND, It has an end (friEND) But, you have to remember it is what you want, Who you like. I don't have a best friend right now but, I will hopefully get one soon enough. Friends will come and go. But, the true friends stay. They will stick up for you and stay by you. “God made us friends because he knew our parents couldn't handle us as sisters.” A true friendship is memorable. I have never had a true friendship, Although, I have seen it. And I want it. Fake friends will come and go Always remember you are not the only one going through it. I go through fake friends all the time, Painful? Yes! But, in the end you know that they aren't your true friends. Emily Allegrino Grade 7 RTS Middle School, Susquehanna Valley CSD Mr. O’Leary Dreaming of Hope I imagine a bright, blissful light filled city like a yellow highlighter I imagine that there is no sweating workers as busy as bees in the bright sun, I imagine there are birth certificates being written I imagine that the hospital is full I imagine this city has life, I imagine this city grows, having its ups and downs This city is our mind, I dreamt of importance of the right mindset. I dreamt of a blissful sprout flourishing in the sunlight hoping to grow tall one day Just like a little kids dream to be an astronauts, I dreamt of this juvenile sprout nourishing and becoming bigger than the sun, But With no lifesaving moist water or rich nutrient filled soil I dreamt of Hope. I dream of affluent magnificent flowers Giving warm lush sunlight For others not so magnificent flowers, If granted these flowers will nourish in the yellow tinted sunlight I dreamt of investment. I dream that people chase elusive plans, I dream everyone has a plan Whether it's positive or negative, These plans turn into goals Which turn into passions And passions turn into careers And careers turn into family, And no one can be born without a family And you can't chase elusive plans if you’re not alive I dream of goals. I truly believe someday this blissing Earth will sprout and live happier Like a smiling child with a popsicle on a beach The people will shine like stars in the sky, The people on this god given planet will stop this ignorant war with other people No crying mothers nor lonely siblings No words being shot like bullets Out of a machine gun I dream for peace. We human beings fear a lot of things Some fear cold salty tears, Some fear red hot scorching pain, Some fear of success and are scared of taking risks, But one of the greatest things we fear is failure, The failure that embraces this wonderful feeling throne greatness, The failure that your tears hit the ground like heart beats beating in a race The failure of blood sweat and tears See we fear all of this but failure is the key to success I dreamt for failure at times. Troy Schneider Grade 7 RTS Middle School, Susquehanna Valley CSD Mr. O’Leary Spring I’d dream of a time of the year when the days are mild and the nights are chilly. A fresh start to the cycle of nature begins. The chorus of peepers start to sing their nightly song. Greens and yellows bring nature to life with color. The time when the warmth of the sun melts the frosty ice on the frozen lakes. The land that was once frozen and white is now green and warm; Groggy animals wake up hungry from their long hibernation and go in search of food. Food is abundant and conditions are right for all living things to coexist. The grass that was once hidden is now displaying its beautiful green coloration. The water on the lakes are teeming with life and colors. The once barren and quiet land is now overflowing with life and songs of the songbirds. The perfect time to enjoy the outdoors when it is not hot and the bugs are not Bothersome and annoying. It is the time when the songs sung aren't just from the cardinals but are from a whole array of birds singing their song. When the flowers bloom and the constant buzz of insects erupts, the early flowers bring the humming birds that flap their wings so fast it is like a blur and not single flaps. The time when the air has a beautiful scent of flowers and earth. ''Tis the time when the streams gush to a roar with water from the melting snow. When the people become active and come outside for long periods of time. When the people want to have picnics at the park. When the people need to do what makes them happy. When the people love nature and everything is important. The perfect time when the people go out in the fresh chilly spring air. The wait is over. Jacob Kaminsky Grade 7 RTS Middle School, Susquehanna Valley CSD Mr. O’Leary Fighting Dream I dream, in one part of my life, being able to fight and win many gold medals for my gym, and make everyone proud, to be able to put all my worries of the world away for a bit so I may focus on something I love and to be able to put my heart into it. I love the adrenaline that comes and the feeling of people cheering me on, even if it is one person cheering and everyone else is shouting and pouting, I can always hear that one person. I also love that while I am fighting everything becomes a blur, kinda like a whir, But the person I am fighting and everything about them becomes more clear. Then desire and determination to win comes fighting through my veins and all I want is to finish the fight victorious and I cannot focus on winning with brawns, but brain. It's also nice to let out all stress and focus my mind on strategies to win. Then when I am triumphant… The feeling is like being at the top of the world where no one can bring me down. Then getting the medal it does not even matter what it is it could be bronze or silver or gold, But when I get the medal I definitely feel accomplished and proud. Hailey Traver Grade 7 RTS Middle School, Susquehanna Valley CSD Mr. O’Leary The World Will Change I dream that the world will change, That everyone will be a friend. And that hate shall die And that love will thrive. I dream that bullies will be put to justice; That no one will have a thirst for hate, That people will realize their wrong doings. Wrongs will be righted Because the world is a teeter-totter of good and bad. I dream that life will be valued for all; Because life's a stage where our stories are performed, And that no one will be put down again with words of hate. That all can live in peace With no one to disturb them. I dream to one day become famous To make a lot of money. And with that money I would give it to charity, I would find a cure to a disease. I dream that I will one day make a gaming company. That I will make enough money to support my family, Because not having a family is like a clock missing its gears. I dream that one day I will become an Eagle Scout, And that that will help me with fulfilling these dreams. I dream that there is peace everywhere. That there are no wars, That there is no hate, That there is only love and peace. For hate only leads to suffering, And suffering leads to pain, And pain is like losing a loved one at the dusk of something great. Joshua Stewart Grade 7 RTS Middle School, Susquehanna Valley CSD Mr. O’Leary I Dream I dream a world of creation, a world of peace and creativity, Where the only way to live is of imagination. To live, is to imagine and ponder the world’s needs, Dream of reality, Dream on your own. In your mind is a canvas waiting to be painted, Sculpt, Build, Paint that canvas into a reality. Your future is ahead of you and in it is a reality of your own, Dream of your future, dream big and discover what’s out there left for you. The only thing that’s holding you back is your originality, Dream. From the breathtaking vision of the Amazon River from a mountain view, With all the trees and green life surrounding you, especially the animals, To the exploration of the Atlantic grounds and ruins stranded at the low barren seafloor with the thrill pumping through your blood, witnessing the mysticism, Witness greatness in the making at your point of view, Beauty and the chance of something great is in your hands. Paint that bland white canvas, it’s your choice, Throw the hook in the vast sea of opportunities, Dream the excitement, dream the enthusiastic adventure’s that could be happening, or don't even dream the enthusiastic excitement, and thrill of an adventure. Your choice to live a wonder or stand your own way of it happening. Nate Giles Grade 7 RTS Middle School, Susquehanna Valley CSD Mr. O’Leary Helping the Sick I dream of one day being able to, help people as they are sick. Helping them with their problems. They can be sick, They can be sad, They can be mad, They can be anything. I would make sure that that they are alright, I would be there for them, In my dream I help people, I help people that are sick. I help them by making their day better. Making them laugh because laughter is the best medicine. I could take them places such as the park or for a walk in the sunshine, because it is good for your soul. If they were cold, I would get them a blanket so they are warm, If they were sad, I would give them ice cream as we watch tv. If they were having a rough day I would try to make it better, they can have a... Grumpy day, Not doing well day, Okay day. They could be depressed, Emotional, Happy, Afraid, Nervous. I would do what I could to help them. I want to help people. I would hope to accomplish this when I grow up. Vanessa Morgan Grade 7 RTS Middle School, Susquehanna Valley CSD Mr. O’Leary My Future I dream of my future. My future is just like I thought. I thought I will go to the army and fight for my country. I dream of me on the battlefield. I dream of flying an airplane in the Air Force Helping people get to safety. I dream of having a good house and a job after the Air Force. I dream of being a pro swimmer after getting out of the army. I dream of one day going to the Olympics and getting a gold medal. I dream of getting a good job I will work as hard as a beaver building a dam. I wish that I will succeed in all of thing that I do in life and also want to live a good life and an upbeat life. I know that I will overcome obstacles along the way No matter what they be, Stressed. Forlorn. Heartbroken. Agitated, But, On the bright side I will be, Ahead of the game. Victorious. Strong. At the top of the ladder. I determined my future and what is the most important to be whether it’s family, friend or even responsibility it is up to me. I will.

I dream to think mentally before games. I dreamed that I would leave my self-conscious behind and think positive. I dream on a breezy fall day playing sports in my own little bubble, I dream of me on a soccer field and watching the ball role throughout the grass, I dream of dribbling through each of the defensive girls on the other team, I dream playing sports in my own little bubble smelling the fresh air. I dream of a cold winter night playing basketball in my own little bubble, I dream to play on a hard wooden basketball court and me in my own bubble, I dream to look up to the basketball hoop and space everyone out and just me in my own bubble, just thinking on what my next move or pass is, I dream of driving down the basketball court and jumping high up on one leg for a crisp layup. I dream of me in my own bubble playing the sports I love. Kaelyn Roloson Grade 7 RTS Middle School, Susquehanna Valley CSD Mr. O’Leary An Athlete’s Wish I dream of one day, I will still be able to play sports, I will be able to run the bases the same way I do now, making it back to home plate, scoring a run. Being able to pitch as good as I am now, making strikeouts. I could have it go cross the plate as fast maybe even faster than I can now, Throwing a curve or screw to make them back down at bat. I would be able to dive back to bases, Having fun, feeling free, and enjoying life, Being able to run to the field, with energy and high spirits, To be faster and tougher. Getting better is the only feeling you want to feel when playing sports. I will also be able to play soccer the way I do now, Running up and down the field defending your goal and being ready for the ball to come down. Dribbling past players and using all your skills you have learned, Going in on an open goal, getting ready to make the goal If you don't make it go back for it next time. Playing sports can be nerve racking at times, But that's what teammates are for, to calm you down. Playing sports is about having fun, But also some competition, Even having competition is enjoyable. Sports are fun activities you can do that help build strength, They build friendships too. Sports are one of my favorite things to do. I dream of continuing them, And I will excel, And my love for the game will get even stronger.

All structures and landforms were perfectly coated by soft powder snow, Everyone was outdoors enjoying the snow. I walked off the front porch, I got on my yellow and black snowmobile, Yanked the cord and pushed the throttle in, My snowmobile moved swiftly through the deep white powder. I turned right onto the trail, I had no clue where I was going. Other people were snowmobiling, skiing, and snowboarding. The sky was blue with a few clouds. I passed a frozen light blue pond with kids fishing in it, Everything visual was yellow through my tinted goggles. I felt the wind hit me when I came over a ridge and my snowmobile elevated the front skies off the groomed trail, I was enjoying my day just like all of the others.

I dream that I can Chose what I can do without hassle. I dream of a vast community, That works together no matter what kind of disastrous conditions. A place that is open to intriguing thoughts, A dream that will grow as long as time itself. I dream that others help to point they can't help any longer. I dream that my career is as adventurous as an eagle Soaring in the spacious sky; A place that displays teamwork as we persevere through the dark starry night, Where day after day we can work in tranquility. Eric Yingling Grade 7 RTS Middle School, Susquehanna Valley CSD Mr. O’Leary Hit and Hustle I dream about being a professional softball player. The excitement of getting Up to the plate and hitting the ball. I get up to bat, I'm very nervous that I might strike out. I see the ball, I have the bat, The bat has a big metal barrel on top as well as a handle that holds a grip As I hold on to the sweaty handle, I hit the ball as hard as I can. As the ball hit the bat, the bat vibrated my hands I listen to the ball bash against the bat making a loud bang. I hustle as swiftly as I can while the other team chases after the ball. I race to each base to make it back home. As I make it back to home plate, I hear my other teammates cheering for me. I run through home plate as I make my way Back to the dugout as my teammates come over to cheer for me. As we get out to the field, I wish my teammates good luck. I make my way over to second base. A batter approaches the plate. The batter looks fierce and intimidating. The batter hits the ball straight to me. The batter is running the bases. I run as fast as I can to the ball. I pick up the ball and carry it in my glove As I run to the base to get the out. I step on the base before the batter could. I get the out for my team. Once again, I get an applause from my teammates Good game. Reagan Ryder Grade 7 RTS Middle School, Susquehanna Valley CSD Mr. O’Leary Dreams Devoured
