drunk driving
We saw each other at school. We started dating. I said I love you. You said I love you too. Always together. Then I went on a trip. You went to a friend's house. Your friends asked if you wanted some. You were foolish and accepted. When it was time to leave you got in your car. And went speeding down the road. The road ended but your car didn't stop. The grass was wet. Your clothes were bloody. You heard loud sirens. I was called. You were mangled. I couldn't look. How could you have been so foolish? You loved meThen they took you awayYour parents cry. So did I. You lost your love. Worse, you took mine

The little things
It's the little things in life I pay most attention to. Sometimes the smallest insult can hurt the most. A little white lie can ruin everything. It's the little things in life I cherish most. One flower stands out In a garden of hundreds. Two kids pointing at the night sky. Not sure what they're thinking, but they too appreciate the little things. It's the little things in life You do for me that I love. A quick touch of your hand as we walk past one another. A little but tight hug, holding me when I want to fall. One thing I adore the most is the way you look at me; a little turn of the head. While I stare into your eyes. you look into my heart

Teacher's pay
Many teachers complain about how they don't get paid enough for what they do. Are they right? Should we pay teachers more? I have one reason why we should, and one reason why we shouldn't.
I'll start by telling you the reason why we should. Teachers do a lot for us without us even realizing it, or even taking a minute to thank them. They obviously like to teach, and actually care about our education. Otherwise they wouldn't be doing this for a living. Think about it, they have the knowledge to get a better paying job, but they don't do that because they love to teach and be with children. They deserve to get paid more for what they do. Unlike a lot of people out there who have jobs, they actually like doing what they do, and they obviously don't do it for them, they do it for us.
The 0nly reason why I think we shouldn't pay them more is because if we paid them more people would only teach for the money. We wouldn't have very many good teachers like we do now. I'm sure there would be some teachers who tach only because they enjoy it, and not because they just need a job. However, if teachers are getting paid more, there would most likely be more people teaching because of the money.
