Growing up, I was a bizarre child. Being vocally muted for the first six years of my life, this made me very jealous of singers, so for the first eight years of my life, I hated music. This all changed one day, when I enter the first day of Mariachi class during 5th grade, just so I can simply avoid taking Judo for a third year.

Student strategy: Student A starts by drawing 11 circles, which is what I saw. When asked to explain what he did, he said that he first drew 2 circles and then 9 more.

Trained to fight, then run into battle in the front line. Killing people around them without thinking, burning villages that people once called home. This is happening all over the world, right now, and is violating a major human rights issue. Over the last ten years, two million children have been killed in conflict. Having their precious lives cut short…
