Two other students that performed were sophomores Paiton LeBeau and Jessica Bunnelle who both read poems about their siblings.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It meant a lot to me because it was so personal and it showed my sister&#8217;s real story,&#8221; Lebeau said about her poem that was about her little sister having depression.<\/p>\n<p>Bunnelle wrote about her older brother and his struggles.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It was about my brother and what he goes through and how it hurts me to see him hurting all the time,&#8221; Bunnelle said.<\/p>\n<p>Bunnelle, Brooks, and LeBeau all said they were nervous before reading their poems.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It was super nerve-racking because I&#8217;m not good at public speaking and I was super afraid people wouldn&#8217;t like what I wrote,&#8221; Lebeau said.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, most thought the atmosphere was encouraging. Brooks said that some students read that she didn&#8217;t expect.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It really opened my eyes to the abilities of the students around me in my classes,&#8221; Brooks said.<\/p>\n<p>For more information about Journey&#8217;s Coffee House click\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.journeyscoffee.org\/\">here<\/a><\/p>\n<p>By: Delaney Strouse<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Powerful and moving poetry was read on April 22. at Journey&#8217;s Coffee House.
