Two seeds were planted in the same garden. The arid soil gave the seeds small hope of flourishing into lively plants. One of the seeds was cared for by a gardener who loved and protected it; the seed grew to be a beautiful plant. Likewise, the other seed had a gardener who took care of it.

The book begins with her living in India with her wealthy parents who hardly acknowledge her existence. She has servants who do everything…

My phage has the wonderful name of Lorge. This name is very special because it offers information about the phage right away. I also chose this name because the first word that Tracy said when she saw my phage was, “Wow, it’s huge!” To get this wonderful phage I collected the soil sample from the flower pots across the street outside of Bessey Hall. I got the sample at the start of class on September 11, 2017. It was a clear day that was 60 degrees, with a depth of about 4cm below the surface of…

Friendship between Nandu and Vedant A small village surrounded by hills and green forest, undemanding, hard working people leading a simple life. The Sun, just waking up and spreading its rays on the body of green velvety earth, pricking every bit and hole in the earth, its warmth gives life to the little seed to rise up and see the beautiful world. Mama, why is Gauri restless today? Why is she lowing, is there something wrong with her? Asks Vedant anxiously to his Mother Meera. Yes, my son,…

I could give you hundreds of excuses as to why I did what I did, but I just hope I did not lose too much of your respect and promise that this will not happen again.
