Letter to Persident Obama

November 10, 2008

Dear President Obama,

I wish to congratulate you on your historic victory. You are not only an inspiration to millions of Americans, but you are an inspiration around the world, so other people can become President in their own country.
I propose you to make policies which improve the economy, so people can earn money and become better citizens.
Can you make education affordable so we have a good degree and better job?
It would be a great idea if you help stop the problem of pollution, and provide discount to citizens who use energy like solar and wind energy, also we can all go “green.”
Make foreign policies so all the people of the world will live peacefully and happily, and end the Iraqi war. Help the people who need food, as their place must be affected by natural disasters like hurricanes, and earthquakes.
Mr. President, I wish you all the best as you strive for change and a better world. We are with you every step of the way.



Your Biggest Fan,

The Pencil Box Mysterious
“Oh man” I whined as I tried finding it. It was Monday morning; I searched to find my pencil in school, because I lost it by putting it in a place, where I couldn’t find it. I felt guilty and bad, I wondered what I should do.
The box looked like a rectangular prism with pencils inside. It was plastic and green. The corner of the box was broken. There were some erasers inside. I had opened it so many times that the snap had broken. I guess I opened, and closed it too many times. Some holes were poked in the bottom and top of the pencil box. I had gotten it for 5 points from AR.

Suddenly now, the pencil box was lost. I usually kept it my backpack but it wasn’t there. I looked for days, and still, I couldn’t find it. Then I had an idea.
My idea was to look at home, in the classroom, or lost and found. I found it finally in an Old backpack at home. Now I use the box all I want. I have enough pencils to fill it up.
I hope I don’t lose anything for now. I decided to organize my things at home, and at school. I wished I could sell pencil boxes to people if they didn’t have one.

A BIG DISASTER ON NEW YEAR’S EVE

A BIG DISASTER ON NEW YEAR’S EVE

“Whoa “I shouted at loud volume. It was New Year’s Eve in the house .I was feeling scared and A little bit sad because I was six inches tall. My friends were coming and I didn’t know what to do.

I was nine years old and only six inches. But I was a little bit happy because my parents wouldn’t know where I was, I also felt a little sad, because I wanted to be back to normal height.

That Afternoon, When I was squawking “Brother”, my brother found me, and put me in his pocket. When we went to the store, my brother got me out, and showed it to my parents.”What has happened to my little Child?”Mother replied. Meanwhile, my parents bused

A “POTION” that change me into my normal size.

Inside the store I drank almost all the potion. But about an hour later, I turned my normal size again. My parents perhaps were excited and lived as a happy family. But I got grounded for three days because they believe I drank a potion to shrink myself to six inches.

I hope I don’t get into a mess like this ever again. The wish I want is that to be invisible so nobody knows what I eat or drink. I decided to stop drink potions. If I don’t know what it does?

The Difficult Times of My Life

The Difficult Times of My Life Author : Anuroop Giri

What! I cried. I was feeling sad because I got my reading comprehension wrong.

It started when I got the story from Mom and read two, or three lines and ending. I started

Writing wrong answers to the questions on the paper. Mom furiously ripped the paper.

Eventually I started over immediately, and got the same story and answered the right

answers to questions printed out newly. Then I wrote the correct answers, and gave to my

Mom. She put check marks ,and my Mom told “why didn’t you do it properly the first time?”

Mom said. But I was crying because she had scolded me. So I read a book while I was crying .

But my mother apologized to me. But still I was crying. Then she told why she was angry at

me. then I realized I shouldn’t do that again. So I will not do that again. Still I was crying.

Later, one consequence was left, that consequence was that I had to grounded for

1 month. I managed the punishment for days. Sometimes I felt board so I drew a picture.

I hope I don’t have to be grounded for one month again. But from now on, I learned that I

Shouldn’t write the wrong answers to the questions. One day while I was working , my mom

said “you’re not grounded any more”.
