Dear Journal
I still remember when we first met. I was seven years old , and it was Christmas time. My mother, brother and I had just moved into a new shelter. You where my gift. You where small, and green, and there was a laminated decoration of roses all over the front and back. You looked like a door. You had a silver lock on the right side of you and it dangled off the side. I had two tiny keys to open you up. You where my secret. My mother couldnt even get in. I opened you up to the first page, and it said This Journal Belongs to .....You had a line for me to write my name. You belonged to me. Dear Journal, where my first words to you, but to me it was more than an introduction, it was a weight off my chest that I had been carrying for too long. It was the first place I felt like I could really unpack my stuff. You where my home when I didnt feel at home at home. You had questions in the back of you. Like whats my favorite color? and who is my best friend? You even had a space for me to put my friends names and their interests. I would tell you about how my mum just doesnt get it. I would tell you about my first crush at summer camp. I would tell you about the day my friend chose a new friend because she was cooler than me. Eventually the lock hinge loosened and it didnt matter if I locked the little silver lock. I got new journals, bigger ones, without locks, and with more pages. Journals that didnt ask who it belongs to. Journals that didnt ask about my favorite color, or my hobbies. I had leather bound journals, and journals with tassles. They got to know me too. I told them about my dreams and goals, and what makes me cry. I told them sometimes I'm not sure if I want to live. I made excuses for men that didnt love me. I wrote prayers. I wrote complaints. You where always there, no matter the form. Whenever I open my journal I become that seven year old girl , full of secrets, leaning against the shelter wall, giddy with joy, opening her new journal, her new safe space, her new home.

Echoes from the Past: A Tribute to Historical Knowledge
History, a vast and endless sea, Full of knowledge and mystery. From ancient times to modern days, Fascinating facts often amaze me. The pyramids of Egypt, towering high, Built by hands of skilled craftsmen who once ply. Machu Picchu, the lost city in the mountains, A masterpiece of Incan art and fountains. The Great Wall of China, stretching far, Built to keep out invaders and war. The Coliseum in Rome, grand and vast, Hosted gladiatorial fights that were cast. The Taj Mahal, a symbol of love, Built by a ruler for his beloved. The Statue of Liberty, a beacon of hope, Welcoming all who need to cope. These landmarks of history, standing tall, Speak to us, one and all. Of the human desire to leave a mark, To be remembered, in a world so stark. Historical knowledge is power indeed, It teaches us to learn from our past deeds. To build a future of hope and grace, To leave behind a lasting legacy, with a positive trace. History is more than just buildings and walls, It's about those who lived, walked and crawled. People who shaped the world we know today, Who left behind stories, they had to say. From the bravery of the warriors who fought, To the leaders and artists who prevailed in thought. The innovators who gave the world new wings, And the activists who fought for justice and things. We recall the courageous journey of civil rights, When Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat, And Martin Luther King Jr. led the fight, Peacefully protest for fairness and treatment. We learned the lessons of the Holocaust, Ensuring that prejudice and hate should never be glossed over. We remember the courage of the suffragettes, That gave women the right to vote and equal sets. Historical knowledge teaches us all, From the empire of Alexander the Great to the fall. And from Nina, Pinta the Santa Maria, To the first Moon lander' and the Mars camera. There is so much to explore and learn, This knowledge should never be left to burn. History helps us see our place in the world, And helps to shape a future that’s a better swirl. So let's embrace the past with open arms, Absorbing knowledge and respecting its charms. As we learn and grow, we can make a better place, For all the future generations of the human race.

Difficulty
Success is Not final. failure is not fatal. it is the courage to continue that counts we make a living by what we get but we make a Life by what we give. price of greatness is responsibility If You're Going Through Hell keep going we shall not fail or falter .we shall not weaken retire neither the sudden shock of battle nor the long-drawn trials of vigilance and exertion will wear us down its difficulty in every opportunity. The Optimist sees opportunity in every difficulty to improve is to change to be perfect is to change often never give in never give in never never never in nothing great or small.never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense. courage is what it takes to stand. speak courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen a point to make don't try to be subtle or clever. use a pile driver hit the point once then come back and hit it again.then hit it a third time a tremendous whack. the best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter. the empires of the future are the empires of the Mind. success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm a good speech should be like a woman's skirt long enough to cover the subject. and short enough to create interest . I am an optimist it does not seem too much use being anything else. you have enemies good that means you've stood up for something sometime in your life. you have knowledge let others light their candles in it. we are all worms but I do believe that I am a glower. a fanatic is one who can't change his mind and won't change the subject

Eternal Bonds.
In a house where love resides, A joint family's tale resides. More than walls and roofs above, A sanctuary of togetherness and love.

The Waves of Life
Life is a journey, full of ups and downs Like waves that crash, upon the shore Sometimes we rise, and sometimes we drown But through it all, we must persevere and explore For every storm, there is a calm And every setback, can be overcome With determination, and an unwavering psalm We can face any challenge, and make it done The waves of life, may toss us about But we must stand firm, and never give in For with each trial, we learn and sprout And become stronger, than we have ever been So let us ride the waves, of this journey called life And embrace every moment, with hope and grace For with each step, we conquer strife And emerge victorious, in every race
