Dreaming of Freedom

What is freedom? What does it mean to be free? These can be tough questions to answer! And even though freedom can mean different things to different people, we believe that dreaming of freedom can help make the world a better place.

In our Dreaming of Freedom lesson, students write about their hopes and dreams for the future, for their family, their community, and for the world. In this collection of 10 poems, SCORES poet-athletes use their 5 senses (and their 6th sense) to describe how the world could be a better place, and the result is uplifting. Kids are the future. Let’s re-imagine what’s possible… together. Enjoy!

  • I dream, You dream, We all dream! ICS/TCN 4th grade ICS/TCN I dream that people stop being mean we are all the same. I wish we wouldn't have a war about race. We are all the same, it doesn't matter about your skin color. I think we need to have the same rights. Freedom feels like not being told what to do. Freedom looks like the waves at the beach moving slowly or having fun while rolling around in the grass. I dream to make the world a better place this includes clean air, clean water and clean land. I can have fun while helping the Earth. I hope one day everyone will want to get together and make the world a better place.

  • I Dream By Skylar Woodrow. I dream to play soccer. Unicorns and dogs and cats. I can fly
  • Everything right now with me By David Woodrow Wilson. I am dreaming for playing with a friend. Dreaming for playing soccer against a different school. I am dreaming for COVID-19 to have a cure. I am imagining playing outside. Imagining staying at a sit down place with my family. I am imagining getting out of the house and go to school to see friends I am dreaming that I can do anything and everything with my friends and family. Dreaming that I can go out and take a walk with my family. I am dreaming I can talk to people in person rather than on a computer. Dreaming I am at a sit down place where I can eat different things or even try new things. I am hiding from getting corona virus. Hiding from being with other people. I am hiding from playing with my friends. I am hiding from talking to friends at my school in real life. I am hiding from other family like my grandparents and my cousins. I am learning how to be responsible. Learning to make food. Learning to like food that I don’t like. I am learning be by myself but with only with someone upstairs. Learning how to get better on games. Learning to do new exercises with new equipment. I am getting used to doing homework. I am getting used to doing online schooling. Getting use to watching TV or on my iPad. I am getting use to rhythm with my hands and fingers. Getting use to making food for the family and for myself. I am getting better on math and geometry. I am getting better on language arts and spelling. Getting better at playing games. I am getting better on turning in homework on time. I am getting better on making food. Getting better on doing online schooling. I am getting worse with exercise. Getting worse with reminding myself don’t eat the snacks. I am getting worse with reminding myself I should not be bored. I am getting worse with doing things by myself. I am getting worse with throwing things away on my own. I don’t like being alone. I don’t like staying home all day. I don’t like not playing soccer with my friends. I don’t like online schooling. I don’t like corona virus. I don’t like being bored. I don’t like not playing in soccer matches. I don’t like geometry. I can be a better person. I can do things on my own. I can cook my own food. I can help. I can be responsible. I can do things that other people can’t. I can still laugh and play by myself. I can be bored. I can be independent. I can be trusted. And I can continue to pray for corona virus to go away.
