I'm from - Allen Yang
From my parents of whom were born
From the “homeland”, thousands of miles distant
From the old past
To the newer beginning, and the many years
From now, looking back
To the future of tomorrow?
I’m from the beat of dribbling at the recess yard
I’m from the sound of rapid footsteps
and the scream of “You’re it!”
From the exploration of restricted school premises
From the All City Orchestra...
I’m from Generation Y.

I am From
From Citizens Bank Park and the Spectrum.
I am from the stoop sitting neighborhood.
I am from the parks,
The football
whose grass stained tackles I could taste.
I am from my friends,
From the trust worthy I got your back people.
Im from the no strings attached,
from the serious.
I am from the un-diverse neighborhood,
The cold winters, hot summers,
friends right around he corner neighborhood,
I am from the inspired,
the hardworking,
the gifted.
Where I'm From
the wave
less curves and
movement
on the paper from the pencil
the
smooth combination of words
moving
to their own beat
the
poetic lyrics
moving
through the endless
and
limitless mind
I’m from
the
"Be
as free as a stallion
running
through the fields"
Type of
poetry thang
I’m from
the
consequences
of being
sulked and submerged
in the
devil’s taste
seeing
the movement of objects
that
aren’t really there
From the
let’s go have fun
From girls night out
Or guys free night
Type of
one night stand thang
I’m from
some
ignorant
and
multied emotional eyes
From the
side snickers and comments
that
always revolve in a circular motion around
but
never towards me
From the
rolling of eyes
but
inspired action
the "She'll
never be good enough,
she's
nothing."
Type of
girl jealousy thang
I’m from
some
moving as freely
as a
ballet dancer
the not
holding back,
breaking
out
the
crazy and fun rapid movement
of the
frame and physic
the
"Go on girl, do your thang"
Type of
dancer thang
I’m from
I’ve
been to more funerals than close friends
lonely
nights laying
looking
at the ceiling
wondering
why not me?
From the
that’s a cat scratch and I fell down
the
steps marks
the long
nights yelling and debating with
my
authorities that have yet to realize
my full
potential
From
lost childhood and lost innocence
A gift
that was taken by force and can never be given
Type of
abusive thang
I’m from
some
repeated beats
with the
words changing
until it
gets to the chorus
the
precussion mixing slowly
with the
classical music
the
voice and tone escaping my mouth
to
create a sympathy
that
moves the crowd
the
multi racial and artists
creating
the change of people
to
create a better world and society
Type of
singer thang
I’m from
some dark,
colored,
and
faded skinny jeans
the
Converse and All Stars'
swiftly
moving across the solid
and
unbreakable pavement
the
plain but colored
sequenced
t-shirts
the
"I"m kinda a tomboy
and it's
comfortable"
Type of
skater girl thang
I’m from
just
being beautiful me
New buttons on blog create page
We made some changes to the blog create page over the summer. There is a new "Visibility" toggle that you can click to make the blog public or private. It looks like this.
If you select private than only those with user accounts on the site can see the blogpost. However if you hit public everyone who visits can see it. It defaults to public so make sure you don't forget to set private if you want it to private.
Embed Content Button
On the bottom of the blog form next to the button to insert pictures and whatnot there is a new button. It says "Paste Embed Code" and thats all the instructions you need. Simple click that and paste any embed code inside the new window. No more dealing with pesky html yourselves.
Ok so we aren't going to lie and say that tagging was never broken. We saw the complaints and have fixed all of the bugs. if you separate tags by commas now they all will become their own individual tag. Also if you forgot to hit enter now, its cool. Tagging will take whatever is in the field too and make it a tag.
The last feature to announce will be the new google integration on the site. Look forward to the announcement in the next few days.
RSS Features

All you need is the link for this one. It's "scienceleadership.org/blog/rss".
Getting Tag RSS Feed
First you need to think of the tag you want your blogpost to filter by. We will use the Homepage tag in the example url. The url would be "scienceleadership.org/tags/Homepage/rss" but you could replace Homepage with any tag you want to see.
This one is a little tricker instructions are as follows:
1. Go to the Course Page
2. Go all the way to the bottom and click the rss icon that looks like this
I am from... more or less.
New York streets, Philly streets and not the streets that have cleaners and doormen or polished gold gates.
I am from policed streets and not because they feel safer to patrol such a godly good ghost town but because for once they have stepped up to the call of beaten wives and frightened children hiding in their basements with their little cousins crying more because he has to see her beaten down and cornered into her own insecurity that now she lies their humbling like it were a role mean't to be played specifically by her.
I am from rags to riches only hypothetically speaking however, from a place my heart has created to survive from the punctures that it once endured alone for years it must conquer the mentality and reality in my mind only to pretend I'll beat the odds, pretending might just be enough to make it maybe and I won't be that girl with a baby I'm going to college I'll be the first and my mother would never let me forget it.
I am from a place where murders would be less punishable than ignorance or unintelligence, where to be belittled by a man who acts like a boy would hypocritically make you damned.I have unfortunately not been able to see a women escape that damnation personally but I've heard its like being reborn from a phoenix heart as on fire and alive.
I am from abnormal is normality and to be anything else foreign.
I am from is not where I will be or where I'm going, that is the farthest place in my future forgetting who I am is not worth fame because fulfillment is only the feeling of achievement and that is where I am from.
I'm From By: Yasmeen Brownlee
to the gantsa downtown Philly
I’m From the smell of clean and
to the foggy ciggarette smog that follows in my footsteps
I’m from the Vegan whole foods meals
to the vegetarian any were meals
I’m From caring and overly loving family
to the outright hilarious entourage
I’m from the immediate family of five
down to the disheveled and put together family of four
