Vanguard Song


This is the video for my final presentation for Vanguard. Here are the lyrics:

We’re not just some random kids from off the street
We have some potential and the world to beat
We can endure trials through snow or rain or sleet
Great things to accomplish, great people to be

Oh how we love learning; each autodidacts
Come ask us a question, ‘cause we know the facts
God is our foundation, with Him nothing lacks
Individuality is something we track
We live citizenship and self-government
For a certain purpose to this world we’re sent
We’ve got the best mentors; teachers that are meant
To help us along our way; make sure we’re not bent

‘Cause we’re Van-guard. We shoot for master class.
Van-guard. We have happiness.

We know liberty and the constitution
We’ll fight communism, but without a gun
Use words and ideas united as one
Once everything’s over, we can say we won

Cause we’re Van-guard. Leaders that have might.
Van-guard. Truth is in our sight.
Van-guard. The forefront of light.
Van-guard. Spearhead of the fight.

Freedom! That is what we got.
Freedom! We’ll never give it up.

Vanguard wins the battle, Vanguard beats the dark
Vanguard are the leaders, Vanguard makes a mark
Vanguard is triumphant, Vanguard gets the win
Vanguard will forever feud wickedness and sin

God is on our side; that means we’ll never fail
We will draw our boundary; keep distance from the rail
We’ll never give up, not in the rain or hail
Even if it seems like we’re as slow as a snail
Sometimes we are called to have burdens we bear
Love we have for others we will surely share
We have found that even when life isn’t fair
We can still work hard and we can always care

Even through all hardship, God is not gone
He is always with us, helping us along
We can win the battle; right will beat wrong
All we have to do is turn the light on
Personal life missions matter a lot
Throughout all of Vanguard, that is what we’ve sought
Everybody learns to live with what they’ve got
If we live our missions, more we will be taught

We’re all Vanguard heroes who stand for principles
Strong in service so we can work miracles
We the Vanguard Youth accept the challenge to
Move forward in our pursuit of right and truth

Yeah, we’re Van-guard. We love leadership.
Van-guard. We know history tips.
Van-guard. Literature and art.
Van-guard. A Eureka heart.

One day we’ll stand up before the judgement seat
We’ll fall to our knees and kneel at Jesus’ feet
He will know that the flag of freedom we unfurled
And then we can tell Him, “Yes, I changed the world”

The poem I wrote for Eureka

The world

The earth in which we live in,
Is quite the masterpiece,
Each little tiny creature,
That flys or crawls or creeps.

Each human, and each animal,
Has it's own way of living,
And this was all made possible.
By the One who keeps on giving.

Each leaf on the tree,
Each pebble on the roads,
Each piece of dirt and speck of dust,
Each flower as it grows.

By all of His creations
The big ones and the small,
If He had not done all for us,
We wouldn't be alive at all!

So thanks to God,
Almighty King,
Our shelter
Underneath His wing.

For His creation, of the world
And let us not forget,
To take care of it, while we are here
And respect His gift, each little bit.
-Dassia! :D

Poem on the Constitution!

Hey Everyone!!!

So, Megan, Being the MOST AMAZING FRIEND that she is, helped me right an AMAZING Poem on the Constitution for Class this week... Hope Ya'll like it!! :) It's two people conversing back and forth, the Yellow Girl being the one who loves the Constitution, and the Blue Boy who learns to! (That's just the way that me and Megan saw it... It can be two boys or two girls... doesn't quite matter!) 


I’ve heard the words a billion and a half times,
We the People… and so on it climbs.


They make me want to yawn and sleep, and Laze my day away…
What is the point to a worthless Constitution anyway??


I really do try my hardest, to stand up for all my rights,
I participate in the legislate, still holding up my little light!


What does the constitution really say? I don’t even know,
Confusing colossal words and such, just row after row after row!


I find such Joy in reading these things, it helps me keep my knowledge keen!


So do I need this slip of paper that many men have signed?
Who can tell me what it means, and perhaps refresh my mind?


I’ll tell you about the constitution, and how I love it so!
And about the lives of so many men, who lived so long ago!


The signatures on this page, did these men really live and care?
About the people to come. Did they really want me to learn, teach, and share?


Yes! These amazing men cared and that is why they made,
A constitution, be it long, and maybe a little strange…


But I guess that’s why we should love them, you see,
Some of the Greatest men in History!


Exactly my point, you’re starting to get it!

Stick with me, and you’ll never regret it!
