    People wonder and try to guess what made me the way I am today. I’ve been confronted by elderly strangers, being asked the same question almost every time. Questions like: “Why are you so nice?”, “Why are you so different from others?”, and “Why is the way you dress unique?” I give them all the same answers, I tell them I am who I am today because of my past experience. I never go into details about telling people what my past experience was that made me who I am today, but at the inner most part of my mind I knew that it was because of my past experience in boarding school and the influence my mom had on me at that time of my life that made me who I am today.…

I don’t wish to return, my heart wishes to believe, and look, its shouting out that “this is no mistake.” We all go through a period in life that’s either reflected in a positive light or a negative one. The experience usually leads us to learn something from it. I thank God for making me experience the tragedy bestowed upon me. For if I wasn’t to experience such a thing as losing my father I don’t know If I’d be the strong individual person I am today, not to sound corny or anything.…

    The Only Tree Left

    • 344 Words
    • 2 Pages

    I was walking past the great forests of Tree Land and thinking to myself ‘Where are all the trees?’ So I walked up to the only tree left and asked “Where is your family?” The tree didn’t reply but stood there still slowly starting to shed its leaves. I went closer and whispered to it “Don’t you worry, I’ll help you find the kidnapper.” I moved forward and saw someone loading log-wood into his truck. I quickly went up to him and “You are under arrest!” The strange man started laughing hilariously. I said “You are arrested in the charge of kidnapping and murdering the tree family.” The strange man continued to laugh and drove off the forest. I went back to the only lonely tree left and said “I promise to get you back your family with all the more happiness.” I left the forest and went to a nursery and bought some two hundred seedlings. Without wasting any time I called up all my schoolmates and asked them to reach the forest as fast as possible and with as much water as they could carry. On reaching the forest I found most of my schoolmates waiting there with a tank full of water. They were anxious and were waiting for me to say the reason for such a meeting. I told them the whole incident and we together decided to build up the forest again. Everyone was given ten seedlings and five buckets of water. We completed our planting till dusk and waving a goodbye to the tree we left because the sky had been cloudy all day long. After almost a week I came back to the forest and saw the “only tree left” of the last week green and shady. I went and was about to hug the tree just when it dropped an apple, a deep red apple on me, as a sign of gratitude. I hugged the tree and waved a goodbye to it while it was swaying its leaves to…
