From the time you

pick up your first textbook

to sharing memories with friends,

school is significant to you.

When school life takes a

turn for the worst, making a

decision to open that door comes to mind.

The door comes to be more of a

consideration as classmates become ruder

and teachers more frustrating.

Opening the door and passing through

may result in much more happiness

but passing through might make things worse and

opening the door is a most difficult task.

Matt

My door starts in the mind of a human

It takes a while to process

You start young and work your way up

In that process, it’s easy but it gets harder

You have fun and a lot of recreational time

You then get to the age when results are important

You go through the door

You start revising and start a lot of preparation

You get very stressed and you aren’t sure if you’ll make it

You don’t take the risk

It may cost you heavily, or it may not

In the end you don’t know what the outcome will be

Michael

Either you will go           

through the door,

or you will not.

Go ahead,

go through the door.

Your friends are!

Don’t you want to?

If you go through the

 door, you’ll be cool.

 Don’t worry, no one

will find out.

If you don’t go

through you may still

have friends.

Think, think hard. Are

 you going to risk what

 you already have?

  For what?!

Is this really the right door for you?

Mira

You see the chance

The door

You could turn the know and open it

Or you could not

Your friends are on one side

What you want is slowly crossing to the other

But can you follow it?

Everyone has said no

Don’t do it

We don’t like it

But you want it

Choose to do it, and you’re happy

But your friends…

Will you lose them?

Will they hate you?

Can you be yourself?

You could stay

And forever keep wishing

Wondering what would have happened

Or you could go

Take a chance

Follow you dreams

The choice is yours

The door is waiting

Molly

The door to friendship

Is a very confusing one, at best

Should you shake off your personality and beliefs,

Like shaking rain off an umbrella

Or should you be yourself,

But risk being accepted by others

If you decide to go through the door,

Onto the “popular” side,

Will you become so engrossed that you forget

Who you once were?

Or remain as you are

A conscience free from lies

Staying true to yourself, your family

But will you be lacking in experiences

That only come with many friends

You must decide which door

To enter

Remain the lonely

Or

Begin to believe your own lies

Why must the choice be black or white

When remaining in limbo would be so simple

What to do?

The choice is up

To you

Natalie

The door marks the passageway-

A child to a woman.

With heart slamming and hands shaking,

Barely able to turn the knob.

But temptation takes hold, and the door opens wide,

As emotions run free and lips collide.

Ushering in those at the door,

And the slow realization of happiness.

Flying through the door, letting go.

Knowing that the right decision was made.

 Noah

You struggle with the decision

Do you go through the door

A new life, new people, new things

The opportunity for the education

It’s so easy to go through

You aren’t the one paying

If you go to this college

You would never want to come back

It would be so much fun

You have gone through 12 years of education

You believe it is enough

You’re done learning for now

What do you do

The opportunity is waiting

Yet, it’s the door that you can open

Sivan

To go through

Or not to go though

That is only your choice

To choose to be friends

With people you like

Or to make the decision

To pretend to be someone else

To be popular

Going through

Will make you

The person other people want

You to be

You will be known by all

But not as your

True self

Everyone will

Want to be

The person your

Pretending to be

If you don’t go through

You will keep your

Identity

You will be able to be yourself

And have fun

All at once

You are not hanging

Out with the “cool” kids

And you are not known

By everyone

So the question is

Stay true to yourself?

Or have the popularity

You always wanted.

Yoni

A path is a choice

 A choice is a decision

To open a door

Accepting the faces

Of opportunity

And responsibility

To focus

To learn

To trust

Having faith in time

A past condemns no man

A future holds no certainty

Decisions, decisions

Present makes the choice

To peer upon the light or darkness

Feared or embraced

Open or shut

It is always there

Waiting
