Staff Development - Show me yo mad rapper skillz!
So this month's staff development blog is to make like a rapper...and write a POEM! Yes, that's right, write a poem that describes how you fit in to our staff, school, or life in general. Use any rhyme scheme you want, but give it some thought.

I made a haiku:
Milnes Chinnock Staff,
Don't know what to expect next,
Cray cray year ahead.
So lost and confused,
They make me feel so needed.
I love residents.
I am an RA
I'm here to work hard and play
Hope I get an A!
Tiffany: Great idea for a Haiku! It's seriously hard to know what expect next, especially with you! :P
I come off quiet in the beginning
But my real personality is what leaves you grinning.
The staff is very loud,
but that's ok because it draws a big crowd.
I choose stout because it is small
But after being here I fell in love of how it looks in the fall.
I was worried that I was not going to fit in and be lonely,
but now I love my MC Family.
Tiffany: So true that you never know what to expect with our staff; cray cray is an understatment.
Alex: I felt the same in the begginning being so confused and having confused residents asking questions when I had questions myself. But now that we are a few weeks in it is becoming more smooth and the real fun begins!
An ode to an R.A.
The Staff is family, as each trust another,
Each person is a sister, a brother.
Stout's benefits are legend,
to no other school lessened.
Life shifts as the moon draws tides,
as the job shifts when hours go by.
Stout is my dwelling and here I will stay,
all be it stressful, I'll worry neigh.
To Tiffany: A simple but effective idea, haiku's are amazing. It sums up everything in a very small nutshell, but it does so very accurately.
To Macy: Its awesome that you noted how loud we are. But this also shows a lot about you personally. It gives just enough without giving too much! And I'm really excited to see that we both used family references!
Joe:
Your poem is so clever. I think you hit the nail right on the head with your poem, I like it a lot!
Macy:
Your Poem is cute and really nice!
I think you really captured the light of our staff. I really like how your poem rolls off the tongue. Great job!
My name is Shaun Stokes
And I am so stoked
to be here working with you Blokes.
This year will be fun
because of each one
of you and my residents.
Let’s have a great productive year
but there is no need to fear
because even throughout the trials
there will always be smiles
from our whole staff.
Macy: A beautifully written poem! I feel the same way you do about starting off quiet and worried about fitting in to this staff, but I think we've all grown alot closer to be able to show off our true personalities!
Lol I'm so bad at writing poetry compared to you guys.
Macy: I completely agree. I love my MC family because we all have different personalities, but they all work well with each other.
Joe: WHY YOU HAZ TO BE SO FANCY?! No, but really you had a great poem because we help each other whenever needed and it takes off some stress when you have someone backing you up.
A free verse poem by J-Dawg
Hark!
I am an ARC
no need to stay, heel, or bark
my name is not Mark
nor is it Tony Stark
My name is Jordan Loeck
I enjoy eating cake
all the others be fake
Your grades be soarin'
if you're not snorin'
in class.
Pineapple.
Mr. Stokes- Your poem has the elegance of a mermaid swimming through the water. I really did enjoy reading it and I wish i could write like that. Brilliant!
Tiffany- I am not sure your rap is long enough to make a full track. But maybe if its on repeat it'll be a best seller :D but fo realz (i feel like i need to talk like that, dawg) i thought hard about writing a haiku, and couldnt get anything, good job with a tough rhyme scheme!
I fit on Staff
I fit at Stout
I fit in this world
I'm all you need to know about.
Comments:
Jordan - your rap is fantastic and made me giggle. :)
Macy - you're so right! The staff is extremely loud, but we are all getting along so well :) This will for sure be a great year.
It ruined my formatting, so here is try #2:
A...new..........year...and....
another college.....experience.
...............................
.......Freshman......are.hectic
...and....so.........is........
...............................
.........college....in..general
It..........will........be....a journey,........and....there...
...will.....be...........trials
...............................
.and......difficulties.........
There.........will....be..times
.......where.....we're.....left
...in............shambles,.....
But if we keep one another close, and watch each other's backs, we can bring order to an otherwise crazy year.
@Macy: It's only the beginning of a great year to come, and we're already like a big family! I look forward to seeing more and more of your personality as the year progresses!
@Jordan: Of course you randomly have "pineapple" as your last line. It's just like you to come up with silly and fun things out of nowhere! I look forward to planning more ridiculous events and silly things with you and the rest of the staff this year!
Junior at Stout
No longer in Doubt

Macy- Your rap definitely explains my first impression of you, you seemed so quite but your personality is awesome and you can find a way to make people smile!
Thanks everyone for posting. Your level of creativity is astounding! You are all very talented individuals.
Thanks for being patient with me getting to the blog.
