Happy Earth Day | Aliterate

    Happy Earth Day | Aliterate

It's that time of the year again. The time where many people who don't care about the Earth celebrate this endangered "holiday". I remember back in 5th grade when my parents would have to sign a permission slip for our teachers to take us outside in the wilderness to hike and observe the biosphere. We just ended up going to the soccer field of our school and searching for bugs. We never really found any bugs but if we did, they were most likely dead since the girls in my grade went on bug-killing expeditions. 

When my class was first introduced to Earth Day in second grade, we thought it was a joke: 1) Our  teacher loved jokes (for April Fools, she told us that she brought us brownies, but instead she got brown construction paper and cut out the letter "E" twenty-one times using a template); 2) We were ignorant back then; 3) The word "Day" made Earth Day really special and we thought it would declare a day of no school, when we showed up to school, we knew it was fake. 

Does anyone remember The Lorax? The whole plot was made for Earth Day and it showed how we can clean up our planet. If a couple of citizens from Thneedville want to plant a tree to make the planet clean, then I say let it grow. The Lorax or the messiah of the whole movie stands up against polluting the Earth, I wonder who that represents: Beyonce... No, Bush... No, Ice JJ Fish... Perfect. If some man who painted his entire torso orange and plucked a couple of cat hairs and stuck it on his face came knocking on your door, telling you to stop buying clothes, you'd immediately lock the door.

Just like Of course, there is no need for anyone to care for the Earth because it already cares for itself. Besides, why need to care when global warming is fake and the Earth is in the shape of a trapezoid. Common sense, am I right?

The Renaissance Fair | Aliterate

The Renaissance Fair | Aliterate It was a dark, cold, Thursday morning. My lovely mother, Agatha, was churning butter outside and my dearest father, John-Smith, went out into the forest to bring back his daily hunt of game. I went into the blacksmith tavern to forge my iron sword for knight school the next day.   Where do I start? It actually was a Thursday morning it it looked like God was furious. While he was sending down big bolts of disastrous thunder, he was crying as well. His tears formed a thick sheet of monstrous rain drops. Armageddon was clearly already taking its place. This field trip was a rain or shine trip meaning that there would be no reschedules for the trip. No reschedules even if our field trip took place on the meeting point of a hurricane, earthquake, and tornado.  I filled my bag with a brick ton of things which I would actually never end up using. After a dreadful one and a half hour bus ride we finally came to the one and only: Renaissan...

Armageddon | Aliterate

Armageddon | Aliterate I, George W. Bush, am hereby to declare that Armageddon has officially set off. I knew that this day would come. Meteorologists predict that Armageddon will first hit the East-Coast of the US; meaning that this monstrosity will force every child in grades 3-8 to take standardized testing.  Where do I start. Oh yes, standardized testing. NJSLA or should I call it "fun". Our current governor came into his political position by banning the old standardized test known as "PARCC". When he was elected, he introduced a new standardized test named as "NJSLA" or NJ-slaw; NJSLA is literally just the same thing as PARCC but it has one less section to it.  I have one word to describe the whole experience: traumatizing. Who would ever expect for the whole class to not be able to finish the Algebra section. When there was 2 minutes remaining, many people would start to cry while I would stay still at my desk hyperventilating. I di...

Bring Your Offspring To Work Day | Aliterate

Bring Your Offspring To Work Day | Aliterate It was 7:42, it was the big moment. I had clearly missed the bus already, but I was sure it would be worth it. It was going to be one e-mail from AT&T that would change my life forever: would I be going to my mother's workplace? Sweat was dripping down my face and my hands were shaking as if there was an earthquake ranking 9 on the Richter Scale happening right now. A loud sound came from my dear mother's phone; I quickly scurried over to the phone, pushing my irrelevant brother aside. My eyes vigorously scanned a bunch of useless pages until it came to the juicy part. I looked under my little brother's name: rejected. I still had a chance. I looked under my name: accepted. YES! I wasn't allowed to go to my mother's workplace though, 1) She had a big meeting that day; 2) Both of us had to go in order for my mom to take us; 3) This all never happened, and my mom had received the email during the middle of the ...
