There once was a tree named Penny that stood in the middle of the grassy field. She was surrounded by trees that bared leaves all year long. Penny had a problem: she could not bear leaves. It made her very sad. All of the trees around her snickered and made fun of poor Penny. Penny prayed that leaves would grow on her branches but nothing would come. The trees next to her were full of leaves that changed colors of red, orange, and yellow every season. “Look at her. She has no…

Even when the beauty surrounded me, The mosquitos would not forget about the scent, I then looked like a huge walking mosquito bite. The mosquitos gave me what felt like millions of bites even though there were probably at least 50. When the mosquito attached to my arm it felt like a paint brush swiping against my arm. Why do mosquitos and gnats have to be alive? I would be a lot more comfortable hiking right now if they were not living. The mosquitos and gnats were attacking me probably because…

She has been one since she was a sophomore in high school. However, she was neither into black or white magic, but both-determined to be what was called grey magic: the practice of both, neither good nor bad. What her altar contained was a medium size tray under a somewhat small cauldron. A pink fabric cut into a heart…

I recall sitting in my dad's 1998 Honda Civic. I still remember what that car smelt like, cherry blossom air freshener; it was my dad's favorite scent to hang across the mirror. He consistently played ear-splitting rap music in the car to the point I could feel the bass booming in my chest, I loved it. However, I was only around the ages of seven or eight years old, so I never could truly comprehend the content of the lyrics in the music he was playing.This all sparked my interest on wanting to…

Similarly, children have different learning styles and capabilities that should be modified accordingly…

Forest. But Crerinna, the Kingdom of Light and the wisest, hopeful kingdom of all that is in charge of all of the other kingdoms. That stands in the White Forest, to where the gorgeous white trees are tall and produce white, golden leaves and cherry blossoms, always blooming every season even in the winter. That these forests separate each other. A light shines down hope on this kingdom and where the top bravest and strongest knights and warriors go to train under the oath of the light. But this…
