Students also wrote the following letters:
Dear Sarah,
As a 16 years old maybe I can understand what you’re feeling but I don’t completely understand you, because I didn’t go through the harsh stages of life you went through. However, I am not here to judge you but to tell you not to lose hope because there are people out there who believe in you and will try their best to reduce your sentence.

“I Am” Poems
November 12th, 2009 by ericThe following is a selection from our Project PEACE “I Am” Poems.
Enjoy!
I am looking through a window
I see many things
People are walking pass
As my curtains fall.
I am tiny but
I look up at people
As they look down on me.
I try my best to achieve.
I am life
It’s not always fair
But when I am
It will be a reward.
By Eric Wu
I am brown as oak
I am crazy like a child on sugar
Walking with my head held high for
I’m a swagger full flamingo
By Janae Gabriel-Simmons
I am as tall as a shaking tree in the wind
I am as loud as the city
I am as soft as a body
I am as smooth as a bird gliding in the wind.
By Kitisha Phillips
I am as quiet as a mouse
My fashion is loud
I am short like a leprechaun
But my dreams are high
By Justine Jiang
I am as gorgeous as New York City Lights
I am as skillful as Langston Hughes on his trumpet
I am as peaceful as a dove in the sky
I am as classy as a piano piece
I am an antique book waiting to be discovered.
By Ashley Dorce
I am…
I am a pen writing a life story
I am as creative as a mosaic
I am an open heart ready to love but I can be closed up as an abused child
By Jessica Dorce
I am quiet but my actions can be violent.
I am pink; I like things that make me think.
I am beautiful with the clouds moving to the south.
I am lazy like a tiger on a full stomach.
By Shiniqua Bailey
I am…
I am determine to do what I set my mind to do
I keep an open heart with a smile that everyone views!!!
By Shivonne Assarah
I am wavy as the ocean
I am addictive as a potion
People call me the epitome of beauty!
By Judy Nguyen
I am many things; for words have trouble describing
My insides are as deep as the moving ocean, and
A face cannot be prejudged
By Janet Cao
