So far this semester I have achieved: 1.Thinking of rebuttals on the spot and sharing them with my team but when I share them in front of the class I find it hard to put it into words and put it into my speech. I have also achieved slowing down in some of my debates but not all of them. 2. I also think I have achieved thinking of ideas for my stories. Last term we did a project for…
Our video this week was about the study of astronomy and the fascination of the space between cultures. The Babylonians were very advanced astronomers in their time because of their system. They had created a system of writing so they could record astronomical events from which they created mathematical models. The models led to creating calendars which then led for them to be able to time important events like business transactions. They didn’t do this for purely scientific understanding but…
Everything just moved so fast as a kid, there was never a time where you could just stop and think and about it all. But it was great I could do whatever I wanted I was like a loose cannon. But everyone has that moment as a child where you can think about it all. But it came to early and it just all hit me. Everything around you just stops and it’s a silent world. It reminded me of…
For everyone’s information this might be in my school story project I feel like I’m stuck and I can’t get out. I’ve fallen too far and know I can’t climb back up. I can see people smiling but I’m contained in the darkness before me. My hands aching in pure pain constant chains getting tighter on my grip. I have no one because I stopped trying, stopped trying to get attention and just sit. But I don’t know what life…
School wasn’t the best well to admit it nothing was that great. Every morning I would stop at the door and dread of going in. As soon as I walk in kids would try and hide the fact they were staring at me. It wasn’t easy. When I sat down I’d try and find a seat at the back as far away as possible from everyone else. Usually when I sat down kids moved away well if they could. Sometimes…
As I rushed down the stairs through the door the wind immediately hit my face. The snow was like a coat of sprinkled sugar covering the frosty fields. The river had frozen over as I slowly leaned over to see my reflection staring right back. I had never been forced to do anything in my life well that is till now. It was a test of survival only the best would come back out. Inside I was so nervous my…
We all knew it was coming. The virus was spreading worldwide. And know our only hope was us. As of each month on the 15th would our stomachs drop. I only dread of opening that letter for each year. I could see they all had the same fear consuming them. That morning tall men in suits escorted every kid down to some sort of center. As I sat down next to Anabelle her face wasn’t scared but concerned. I could…
Suddenly I woke, my eyes frantically approaching my surroundings. The room was ice cold, chills flew around me. The only thing I could see was a small light hanging from the roof second by second the light weakening into the darkness before me. Except for a Lime green exit sign on the side of the door. The only thing I could remember was when I was in my room staring constantly at the clock as the ticking suddenly drove me…
It my special spot away from everybody else I loved the silence away from everyone it was magical. It was a haven of safety to the outside world. There was nowhere safe, guards patrolling the streets and hunting the fugitives down for good. I was one of them, my family gone and my house all I had was a scrunched up photo in my bag. All I could remember was hearing gunshots and seeing a house explode before me. My…
As soon as I walked into to our dump of a flat I would threw my bag down and run straight to my room making sure no one would catch me. As far as I was concerned my parents had forgotten I even exist. I would hear my mum and dad yelling at each other but one night it all stopped at the sound of a knock. I heard a strange voice echoing through the house. So, as I looked…
