Work


 * [[image:Screen_shot_2011-10-04_at_10.32.28_AM.png align="right" link="Reading Log-David W"]]Person of the future**

I am a child.  I am all the things of my past.  I am all I see:  the big whiteboard at the front of the room,  bright shining lights on the roof,  cars driving along the tar road,  bright blue windowed doors.

 I am all I hear:

 pens clicking as people finish their work,  people talking, laughing outside,  birds singing out in the trees, pencils scratching paper.

I am all I feel:

Soft paper,  hard wooden desk boards,  freezing cold pencil in my hand.

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 19.2px;">I am all I taste:

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 19.2px;">juicy tender NZ steak, <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 19.2px;"> tasty smoked cheese, <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 19.2px;"> chewy Mozzarella and pepperoni pizza. <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 19.2px;"> fresh, sour and juicy lemons.

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 19.2px;"> I am all I have been taught: <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 19.2px;"> respect others, <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 19.2px;"> to be helpful, <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 19.2px;"> honesty.

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 19.2px;"> I am all I remember: <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 19.2px;"> playing with my first train set, <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 19.2px;"> my Nana and Granddad's 50th wedding anniversary, <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 19.2px;"> going to Wellington, <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 19.2px;"> catching my first fish.

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 19.2px;"> I am all of these things: <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 19.2px;"> Secrets, <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 19.2px;">deep down inside of me. <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 19.2px;"> I am a Caterpillar <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 19.2px;"> and all these things <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 19.2px;"> are my cocoon. <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 19.2px;"> But, one day I will emerge <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 19.2px;"> and break free, <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 19.2px;"> and become a man of the World.
