It is quiet. My father and brother are out of the house. They are doing their “Father-son” bonding time. I sit on the couch, watching a show. It is mindless a drama show where people fight for no reason. It is nice to let go every now and then, forgetting all the strife in life. “What is this?” my mother asks me. She is holding up my report card. I sigh, “My report card.” I know what is coming next. I pick up the remote and turn off the television. I prepare myself for her anger. “I meant…

She furiously scribbles into her notebook all the ideas that she had in her late night sleep. That little 12 year old was me, of course, that is what this assignment is about, you know my passion, so there could be no other person that this could be about.

indescribable Safaris. We once witnessed the extreme power and protective nature of a dark grey mother elephant who was just a few feet away from stomping and crushing our family van. It was such a joy to wake up as a young child early in the morning on a game reserve and find a family of brown warthogs, speckled with white colored whiskers, grazing below the deck.
