Ode to Jicama by Juliette

Ode to Jicama*

Jicama, oh jicama I love you so,
Jicama, oh jicama you're white like snow.

Are you a vegetable or are you a root?
I'm falling for you, I need a parachute.

Jicama, oh jicama you are so juicy,
Jicama, oh jicama you make me loosey-goosey.

How did you get to be so good?
And yet, you are still so misunderstood.

Jicama, oh jicama you are so healthy,
Jicama, oh jicama you snuck up on me, you're stealthy.

Jicama, oh jicama you give me vitamin C,
Jicama, oh Jicama you hold the key.

Jicama, oh jicama you make a great meal,
for jicama, oh jicama you are quite ideal.

Because Peter wears the Pan necklace; he is held in great favor by the natives, only after he escapes the pirates land and actually finds them. (Peter has to escape Blackbeard). He has to learn to face his fears and find trust in himself and others.

I took this quote from the movie; it was very true and a script that we can all take something from. “If you don’t believe, Peter, neither will they.”-Tiger Lily. This is a true thing. If you do not believe in yourself and what you can do, others don't believe in you either. ...

History of Valentine's Day By Odessa

Valentine’s day is a bit of mystery you could say. A holiday with hints of ancient Christian and Roman tradition mixed with the commercial cards, chocolate and flowers. Why do we celebrate this holiday of love in the middle of February? Well, there are a two stories about different saints named Valentine, they both became martyrs according to the Catholic Church. The first story is about a priest during Claudius II’s rule of Rome in the 3rd century. Claudius decreed that single men made better soldiers, so no soldier was allowed to marry. Priest Valentine thought this law unjust and went against Claudius and married young couples in secret. Valentine was put to death when Claudius found out. The second story is that Valentine was killed for attempting to help Christians break out of the cruel Roman prisons. There is a legend that when Valentine was imprisoned, he fell in love with the jailer's daughter. On death row he sent her a letter signed, “From your Valentine.” Doesn’t t...
