What made it your favourite toy? When did you decide that it was no longer your favourite toy? Why did you decide that it was no longer your favourite toy (or maybe it’s still your favourite toy – that’s OK – this paper is for my eyes only)? Why or why not?

May 21st, 2014 Rohith Sothilingam 120578730 What was my favourite toy What made it my favourite toy Growing up, I was a major fan of the anime show called Dragonball Z. In this show was a character known as Vegeta who had a rough persona, yet there lingered a softer side to him as well. His endearing perseverance to never give up no matter how beaten up he was proved himself to be a hero in my eyes as a child. I wanted to grow up to live up to Vegeta’s ability to stand up toward any opposition regardless of size or potential of threat. He also happened to be married to a woman named Bulma who seemed to be the only person he would show his soft side to. As if he veiled a façade to all of society yet allowed himself to be vulnerable to the most important person in life. His emotional attachment Bulma enticed my interest toward possibly having a future marriage...

...A lot of April Henry’s books are very similar to Girl Stolen. They are mysterious, and very action packed, and I love books with those qualities. Secondly I enjoy April Henry’s books because of her style of writing. April Henry’s writing is very simple but still clear. Her writing won’t confuse readers but it still makes readers think. I believe that is a good quality for writing so that’s another reason why I love her books. Lastly I enjoy April Henry’s books because of the vast message is sends to reader. For example in Girl Stolen the message is to never give up and not let small things set you back. Like Cheyenne didn’t let the fact that she is blind stop her from escaping without any guidance. That is why I thoroughly enjoy reading books by April...

...TWITTER POWERED LOVE Tic toc tic toc tic toc tic toc tic toc. It amuses me to see my grandmother wait for the clock to hit noon. She then turns on the tv and waits again for her favourite characters to appear. It’s one of the things she can’t seem to forget. “Apo you should come and join me watch sometimes. You always go to work at this hour.” Grandma said “Lola you know many are expecting me so I need to work.” I replied and saw her face all grumpy and sad in the screen.” Don’t worry I will catch with you but i really need to go love you!” I sighed as I disconnected our chat. We only get to see each other using Skype these days like how her favourite love team converse too. Aldub, the unusual love team that my grandma adores, started when Yaya Dub who plays a role of a grumpy girl who finally smiles for the first time when he saw Alden. Who would have thought that they would be trending everyday with millions of tweets at that. The love team is a mainstay at the tv noon time show Eat Bulaga where a 30 minute segment called “Kalyeserye” takes place . Maine Mendoza commonly known as Yaya Dub and Alden Richards swept the nation with their team up plus the special participation of Lola Nidora and her sisters, Tinidora and Tidora. The main reason why they are a hit was because they only see each other in split screens and they never talk casually but by means of audio samples and songs. The appearance of the old fashioned lola Nidora hypes up every scene. The fact that the...

Many people come here in search of one thing... celebrities come here to shoot a movie which is pretty cool walking about exploring the exciting things that surround you, and you come across someone that you have watched in a movie or on television and the fact that you have been to the place that they once stood. Makes you feel fabulous as if you are a celebrity yourself. When I was walking from the hotel to the underground with my mother and sister, I thought we were completley lost but my mother reassured me that she knew were we where. However half an hour later my mum realised that we were in fact lost! Although I was scared my mum stayed calm and went and purchased a map and we were soon realised that we had taken a wrong turn. When we finally arrived at the underground there was a tube about to leave we rushed through the crowds of people... felt as if there was millions of them, we ran to the tube and a kind elderly man opened the doors just before the tube was about to leave we got on the tube to see every one staring at us and there was no where to sit you where to sit you where all cramped on small, claustrophobic and overcrowded carriage.

...This is my autobiography about me! I’ll be telling you all about me. My name is Michelle Rain Ballentyne. I was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba on November 13th, 1999 at 1:51am, while my fraternal twin brother was born at 2:02am. His name is Michael Thunder Ballentyne. As of today, we’re fourteen years old. These pictures are the Women’s hospital, my astrology sign and a picture of us. In 1990, our mom and dad were together. They had a horrible relationship. Three years later, they broke up and our dad stayed in Flin Flon while our mom relocated to Winnipeg. Our parents had us in 1999. Our mom was 18 at the time and this caused problems because of the great age difference between our parents. At 1 ½ months our mom took off with us to Thompson. At 2 ½ months, we were put into foster care because our mom left us with a babysitter to go to a party and she never came back. We went to a bunch of homes after that. One time, we went to live with our dad but Child and Family Services received calls from a dentist saying that our dad was drunk when he took Michael to the dentist. We went to numerous homes after that, although we don’t really remember what they were like. Our dad had six months to prove that he was able to take care of us. Sadly, he never got to keep us. I came home to my dad in a police car with my brother crying in a black car. I got in the car and a lady drove us to a new home. Those pictures were at our kindergarten graduation and us at the fair. We started school...

...what matters most to me leaves me bewildered. What more can you expect from a 20 something year old. There are a variety of things that matter to me, be it my dream to leave a mark in the world, or my passion for my favourite hobby. The desire to travel the world all by myself, the hope of having that perfect love story, wanting to make my parents proud while at the same time rebelling against outdated traditions and ideas. Forming newer mindsets yet respecting my value system. Wanting to unfurl the tricolour whenever I hear the national anthem, but also protest and rally when any nirbhaya suffers from the evil doings of my society. I want to become an agent of change at the same time nostalgia is so very dear to my heart. I value god but I also value tolerance and religious freedom. At this point I might sound like a confused soul but all I am is what they call “ young blood”, with passion in my heart and curiosity in my mind. Among all the things of value to me, there is one that takes prominence. It has its strands in all of the aforementioned. I call it it “ Experiences” and it is these experiences that I value the most. It is these experiences that make me different from and yet alike several other fellow human beings. The experience of studying a course, debating over a political or a social issue, reflecting on a movie, attending my favourite music concert, falling in and out of love with people and the like are what ultimately life is about. These experiences and learnings...

...into the humans we are today. My story starts off a little stormy, but it has led me to embrace being happy and to understand one of the most important things in life " Be somebody who make everyone feel like a someone. " I, now love to make a difference and help people. Being ignored and brought down during my middle school years by mean middle school-ers made me feel small. Though, this has taught me a few life lessons along the way, that it doesn’t matter what people think, in the end what matters is your happiness. I will discuss how I broke through these struggles of being targeted by bullying in the few next paragraphs to come. Growing up, I got used to the idea that people being mean to me was okay, I was obsessed with the idea that if I did stuff for them, this would get them to like me…was I ever wrong. Doing more for them only made things worse. Slowly, everything seemed to get worse and soon enough I was being taken advantage of and left behind while my so called "friends" would leave me alone at recess. I would usually follow them and give in to what they wanted me to do, and get left alone. I specifically looked up to one of them. I truly thought that she would be a great friend if I kept doing stuff for her and making everything about her. She made me feel worthless and she brought me down instead of bringing me up. All the lying and manipulating got old, but I cared about her a lot, and back then, she still seemed like the best thing that had happened to me. Until...

...sounds right in your mind. Although, you can’t really explain why, it’s quite confusing really. I’ll try my best to let you understand this feeling for you. For me, I was born in Gothenburg, a small, quiet place in Sweden. I had the pleasure of living there for nine years, I never really at the time thought what an amazing place it really is. I’m not trying to say it has everything because it doesn’t - it just feels like home to me. It’s where I was born and raised. When you’re born somewhere and live there for quite a long time, you genuinely start to make a connection with it. It sounds really silly, but if you move country, the connection you had with that place will become a lot more apparent. As if your whole life, your heart is developing a special, strong bond with that place, you just don’t know it until you’re gone. I remember how at the age of seven (when you start school in Sweden), I would take a bus and a train, I loved this, it made me feel really independent, as if my parents had built that faith in me. I felt like I really deserved it, I felt like an adult. It was a total of forty-five minutes journey to school, by myself. At the time, I didn’t think that was a big deal, everyone did that. When all your surroundings have the same routine as you, it’s as if that small, precious thing isn’t really that valued anymore. You start to miss the smallest things you didn’t even consider existed at the time, such as the independence and safety there was in Sweden...

...Salman Good Afternoon Everybody........ Hope you all are doing fine. This is my first speech in front of such a big audience and i shall try to make it interesting. I believe that if we have a positive attitude and constantly strive to give our best effort, we will overcome our immediate problems and find we are ready for greater challenges. Here is the story of my life’s journey so far. I am Salman and I was born in the year 2000 in Hyderabad, India. I came to Doha when I was 6 months old. My story would be incomplete without the story of my parents – because they are the reason, I am standing before you today. My father is an Engineer and my mother is a post graduate house wife who did not wish to pursue a career so that she can take care of my elder brother and me. I have an elder brother who is in class 12th who loves me a lot but we do fight and argue since I do not like to take things lying down. I do not remember much of my childhood but my mother tells me that I was a chubby little kid, quite and always ready to eat whatever was in my plate. I vaguely remember my early years in school which flew away very playfully. The studies too went on like a breeze without any sort of pressure. As soon as I returned from school I used to finish my homework without anybody telling me. But as I grew older this is not the case, my parents have to be on my back. Talking about studies, Urdu was my weakest subject and no wonder it was the lowest scoring subject in all classes....

...All of the sudden, it was like nothing ever happened, Everything was back to normal. If you could change one thing about the book, what would you change? I would take away a few of the adjectives from the disgusting parts because it makes me want to puke and it makes it scary to read. For example, “scrawny rat” could just be “rat”. Who is your favourite character and why? The prince was my favourite character because he was immortal and reminded me of the Greek gods. He started out bad because he just wanted to find his dead. When Jessica found his head it helped him so much that he turned into a hero and made everything back to normal. When and where did this story take place? It happened on a really hot day in the middle of the summer. Everyone was at the Horrorland theme park. Then the dark evil coin that Jessica bought, took them to a different dimension. It was medieval times and it was a dark time in the castle. In the end they came back to Horrorland. What did you like about the book? It is not a baby book and it is not an adult book that you get bored on the first page. It’s not just one thing, there’s lots and it keeps coming like boom, wow, what’s that, oh no! We’re going to die! It kept me on the edge of my seat and I wanted to read more. If you could be one character who would you be? I wouldn’t be anyone in the book because bad things always happen to them. They are always...
