Now, my grandmother is the only one standing strong. She is my anchor and I love her very much. I don't know what I'd do without her. But I'm going to write about each of them. (I've only known my dad's parents and my mom's mom) Dad's side grandmother (ammachi)

  • how she always supports me
  • she sympathizes with me
  • even if i get a tiny bit sad, she'll get sad too and try to make me feel better
  • i've lived with her for the first four years of my life
  • she is my anchor
  • she's average height and beautiful
  • she's pretty healthy and maintains good eating habits

Grandfather (appacha)

  • when i was little, i used to hold his hand and wash his hands after meals

Pros:

  • I generally liked all my classes
  • I had lunch with people who are my friends
  • Most of the teachers seem nice
  • My last class is a bit closer to my bus than last year (Whew!)
  • Because of that^ I get to be one of the first people on the bus.

Cons:

  • I hate my Gym teacher. He was picking on me all last year.
  • My Chem and Math teacher scare me a bit with all the concepts.
  • My bus is still crowded.
  • My bus was late the first day.
  • Homework already.
  • Some people I thought were my friends decided to abandon me at lunch.
  • My lunch period is extremely crowded.

  • You are the books you read, the films you watch, the music you listen to, the people you meet, the dreams you have, the conversations you engage in. You are what you take from these. You are the sound of the ocean, the breath of fresh air, the brightest light and the darkest corner. You are a collective of every experience you have had in your life. You are every single day. So drown yourself in a sea of knowledge and existence. Let the words run through your veins and the colors fill your mind.
  • Nothing of me is original. I am a combined effort of everyone I've ever known.
