this is my S/O poem
S/O to the skinny boys.
S/O to the 4.0 or i cant get into BYU kids
S/O to the just give me a D so I can leave kids
S/O to english teacher who decided that teaching us creativity and TRUTH was more important than teaching us comas and periods. that listening to SLAM poetry was better than reading poems written by a bunch of old dead white guys. who instead of teaching us how to grow up, taught us how to be a child again.
S/O to the honor students
S/O to the Juvenile delinquents
S/O to the kids still scared of the dark
S/O to her
S/O to the girl who's biggest fear is her own mirror
S/O to the kids who walk 100 yds. to a different building to worship a god they stopped believing in 6 months ago
S/O to the stoners, to the loners, to the attendance school goers, and the what do you want to be when you grow up? I DONT F'ing KNOWers
S/O to the boy who eats his lunch in the bathroom bathroom stall. but dont worry he keeps his feet up so no one would have to know that he exists..
S/O to the boys with scars on their knees and the girls with scars on their wrists
S/O to the Jock, it took him 6 years and a broken forearm to realize he was playing a sport he didn't even like, but it was the only thing that made him feel like he was worth something
S/O to Paris, its been a good vacation.

stop asking
if one more person asks what i want do when i grow up, or what college i want to go to, or when im going to turn my mission papers in, im going to leave this country and become a beach bumb.
people?
that quiet girl in your math class might be the best singer ever, but only the bar of soap knows that
that boy that smokes pot might be the future CEO of Apple (Steve Jobs smoked pot)
that nerdy kid might be in stocks, and currently has $35,123 in his bank account
that "tough guy" might go home everyday and watch Gossip Girl on netflix
that pretty popular girl might be anorexic
that kid who you think has it all might be contemplating suicide
that teacher that you hate might spend hours and hours preparing each lesson
that chubby girl might be an amazing actress and be famous one day, maybe even the next "fat Amy"
that weird girl in creative writing might be the next New York Times best seller
no matter how much you think you know people, you don't.

The WALK
Im going to talk about the most common walk almost all of us take every other day. The walk from Lone Peak High School. Allllll the waayy to Lone Peak Seminary. The walk is about 100 yds,
during this long walk.
Our textbooks transform into Book of Mormons and Bibles.
Our "thoughts" of that girl in A1 change to our thoughts of eternal marriage
Our plans for college change to our plans to serve missions... Or go to BYU
Our worries about grades change to worries for repentance
Our daily homework changes to daily scripture study and prayer
Our songs change from Miley Cyrus to Hymn #127
Our Teachers go from Mr. to Brother.
Then about an hour and half later we walk back into school as if nothing changed.
But that's life everyone has multiple identities, if we didn't then life would be boring.
