How Music Shapes my Life

Chelsea Wu (11) | STAFF REPORTER

I got my first MP3 when I was in Grade 3, and from then on, I found music is one of the most necessities in my life. Music brings me pleasure and comfort, listening to music helps me focus on my work, as well as reduces my boredom. The best thing about it, is that I can listen to it whenever and wherever I want, just by downloading it on my phone.

Where would you go first?

Chelsea Wu (11) | STAFF REPORTER

“A key that is able to open every door for you .” This sounds extremely tempting for me at first. Back when I was only 11 years old, I would be willing to pay anything for this key, because my most precious belonging-phone was locked by my parents to prevent me from being addicted to games. However, as I grow bigger, all my “properties ” are under my control, so a master key seems useless now. read more

As I walk up to my front steps, I notice something particularly odd – my door is unlocked. I’m sure that I locked the door before leaving. I brush it off, excusing it with my lack of sleep last night and that I was probably just imagining things. I open the door and kick off my shoes, relieved when I realize my mother isn’t coming home until later. I hop onto my couch when, all of a sudden, I hear a faint knocking sound coming from upstairs. I go up and check to find everything as I left it. I come back downstairs and start watching a movie, trying to avoid the thought of what just happened. “It’s probably just a pesky mouse or something…” , I think to myself. An hour into the movie and I’m drifting off to sleep when a cold breeze runs down my neck. I hear the soft, raspy voice of a woman eerily close to my ear. I open my eyes and see the woman’s wicked face, grey and lifeless, with large black eyes. I scream for help when I see my parents’ car pulling up to the driveway at the corner of my eye. I scream louder and louder for my parents, but it’s no use. It’s too late before I’m gone. read more

My Legacy

Sherry Shu (10) | STAFF REPORTER

I told myself to smile.

To shout, to comfort, to hug. To give a friendly “hello!” or a “how’s it going?” To tell that one embarrassing story I’ve been keeping in since grade 5, and to goof off as possible with a friend no matter how many people are raising their eyebrows. To pin the corners of my mouth towards the heavens, no matter how much I may feel broken inside. read more

Lord Byron: The Bad Boy of the 19th Century

Doris Hua (10) | STAFF REPORTER

Lord Byron was a highly influential European writer in the late 18th and early 19th century. His satirical and often rebellious pieces caught the eye of the entirety of Europe, his personality and prose charming all. He is well-known to be a literary revolutionary in the Greece War of Independence from Turkey and it is suggested that rebellion movements across Europe looked to his works as a spearhead. Although his name does sound quite fancy, his time was not spent at tea parties and whatever else a Lord does with his spare time. Instead, his personal life was notoriously full of aristocratic scandals, debt, alcohol, and lots and lots of drugs, making the coined title “Bad Boy of the 19th Century” definitely well earned.  read more
