I am Poem
I am funny and outgoing
I wonder do fish actually sleep
I hear people clapping and screaming
I see me being successful in life
I want to be proud of my accomplishments once I get older
I am funny and an outgoing.

I pretend that one day I will fly to the moon
I feel sympathy
I touch a spider’s web in my hands
I worry about people that are serving time in the war
I cry about thinking of the loved ones I have lost in my life time
I am funny and outgoing

I understand that the odds of me making it to the league are very slim
I say that if I push myself though that nothing can stop me
I dream of being a millionaire and sharing it with all my loved ones
I try pushing myself to accomplish things I usually wouldn’t
I hope that I am proud of my life when I become older
I am funny an outgoing.

speech

            Hello my name is keiland callum and I attend Alameda Science and Technology institute. First I would like to thank you for giving me the time, and also for your undivided attention while I give this speech on: What we can do to make alameda a safer city.
Safety is an aspect that everyone in America wants. But it seems as if no one knows how to prevent violence through their country or even their own neighborhood. In this essay I will be discussing how we in alameda can cause non violence and help alameda become a safe and hospitable city. As a city we need to set out a goal to achieve non violence in this wonderful city of alameda. As Martin Luther King Jr. once said “Peace is not merely a distant goal that we seek, but a means by which we arrive at that goal.” So one way to make alameda a safer more comfortable city for citizens is to minimize the tension between the high schools and also middle schools. Doing this will minimize the fights going on between the rivalries schools. This will cause Alameda to be a more safe and welcoming city. 
Alameda is a very safe city that many people enjoy to live in because of how safe they feel. But as the old saying goes, “Nothing can be perfect”. So one way to make alameda an even safer city is to lessen the fights that go on in alameda. This will cause kids to b able to get along better and not hold grudges against each other. One way to minimize the fights that go on between schools is to hold more events so that the kids could mingle between each other and become more known to one another. Things such as carnivals or fairs in the city of alameda can really abroad in each person so that they are able to know each other and become friends with one another. Another way is to hold events between schools such as holding dances or movie nights between schools. This will help rivalry schools become rivals, but not in a violent way. Rivals between sports are ok, but being violent between one another is not okay. Also since kids now like to dance, parties should be put into consideration, maybe once a month will help kids become comfortable with one another and cause less violence.
There are many things that people in the community can do. One main thing for people to do is to help hold these events. People can help coordinate these wonderful events and help out to make sure they are safe. People can help donate money to the foundations that will help sponsor these events.
So in the end there is a way to, make alameda a better, safer city. By doing these few goals we will be able to make alameda a city that everyone feels safe in. Hopefully in the future we can achieve these goals and make the next generation of alameda to be very safe and also to be welcoming to other cities.  I thank you for your time, have a blessed day
