What are some things that make you feel connected to the rest of humanity? That’s the question we started with this week, before reading Roque Dalton’s like you. Students worked on pieces, where their explored the commonalities and differences they shared with their families, communities and the world at large. I was so moved by the level of refelction in these pieces. I hope you enjoy them!

Like you I love love
seeing people in love and
when the leaves start
falling and you know it’s fall,
I love receiving flowers
and I believe God communicates
with me by sending me signs
I love the taste of iced coffee in
the mornings.
I love sitting at the beach
to collect my thoughts and
I love laughing till
I can’t breathe.
I love listening to
music that I can feel in my
soul.
And I love when little
things remind me of special
moments.
My Likeings
Christian R.
I like many things
Religion
Sports
Drawing
And even electric devices
I believe in freedom of religion
and freedom of speech
I like nature
The wind blowing across the land
The animals lurking in the shadows
Fish swimming in the shallow lake
But in the end
not everyone can like everything.
Like Me
Damian
Like me
you believe in God
and aliens
Like me you probably love
food
wars are not what we need
what we need is a cure for cancer
like me you just want to be free
like me you can’t see why racism is alive
Like me you’re fast so you pass the flash
Like me you’re a nerd and
know all kids of birds
