Writing Children Books | Aliterate It was a rainy day and it seemed like the rain would never stop. I felt scared, lonely, and vulnerable. At any moment, an electric bolt from the blue would annihilate everything in its path, but there I was. While sitting on my parent's bed and reading my favorite book, Go Dog Go , I felt that nothing could harm me. Then again, I was six and books, like the ones by Dr. Seuss, had actual plots, unlike the books I'm obliged to read nowadays. Yes, I'm talking to you The Giver . Anyways, our last LAL chapter for the year is researching and writing our own children books. To get a good grade, our teacher had clearly stated multiple times that we MUST incorporate 3 elements of figurative language. To take the easy way out, I am currently in the process of writing a book explaining the Holocaust using animals. When I asked my teacher if it would be appropriate, she read my story outline and thought it was an excellent idea. Turns out, wh...

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 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...

Happy Mothers Day, Mother | Aliterate To everyone who is reading this post, this is not my occasional. In fact, this post was made specifically for a very special person in my life: Dear Mother, Your love does not compare to anything in this world. Your compassion  can withstand whatever my little brother and I do. Your determination proves that you will never give up no matter what comes across your path. Your care is like the superglue in our family. Thank you for everything you do for me.  I will never be able to repay what you have done,  sacrificed,  and went through to raise me.  All I want to say is:  I appreciate everything. I love you, Mom, Happy Mother's Day! Common sense, am I right? 

The Week Science Takes Over | Aliterate It was 12:02, the biggest event of the year was about to commence: the Science Fair! Yesterday, I had set up my poster and my props for my topic of Cardiac Arrests, and I was now waiting anxiously for my science fair partner, Troy, to come. As soon as he arrived, the judges came over and started criticizing our project. They had asked so many questions that our mouths were overly exhausted from talking. The size of the crowd last year was triple the size of the crowd this year. The whole fair was pretty boring after the judges finished asking questions since we waited 3 hours for the judges to "judge". The whole competition was rigged so of course, we didn't even place. Anyways, Troy and I didn't care since we were only doing it for the 4 extra credit points in our science class. Besides the science fair, my science teacher had loaded us all with a brick ton of homework. Throughout the whole week, I had to do one ...
