What I Want To Be When I Grow Up version 2

    Many kids, always wonder about what they would be when they grow up. I, want to be a heart surgeon. A heart surgeon, performs surgeries on the heart. Obstacles of becoming a heart surgeon, are being able to work hard, get good grades, and find a good mentor to guide me.

First of all, I need to work hard. I need to persevere, and try my best. If I don't try my best and give up, nothing will be achieved. Some things I need to to work hard on are my communication skills. Sometimes, I tend to stutter, take back what I said, speak too fast, or parts of the sentence I say aren’t heard. I can practice speaking properly, by teaching others to speak properly. Teaching, is the best way to learn. If I teach my younger or older brother to speak slowly and a uncinate each word, I would start doing it myself. My father learned to speak clearly, by teaching me.

Also, I must get good grades. Right now, my grades are very good. I have a gold honor roll, and if I keep it up, I can become a good heart surgeon. I want a really good college to accept me, so I can become a great heart surgeon. In order to keep my grades up, I must have peace and quiet at home to study. I would have to bribe my younger brother to be quiet, and stay away from my elder brother. My younger brother tends to start singing every few minutes, and if I get near my elder brother, he starts yelling at me.

Finally, I have to be able to find a good mentor to guide me. Some people, just pretend to be nice and professional, but actually have no idea what they are doing. I need someone who is strict and know what they are doing. My uncle, who is a radiologist, can be my mentor. He can teach me to have a steady hand, how to operate certain tools, how careful I should be.

All in all, in the future I want to be a heart surgeon. Some obstacles in becoming one, are being able to work hard, get good grades, and find a mentor. To get through these obstacles, I must bribe my brothers to stay quiet, work on my communication skills, and shadow my uncle.

Ears

Ears

By: Akash Agrawal

       My ears are very important for me. I learn things, enjoy things, am assigned work, and am encouraged with my ears. They are one of the five senses, and play an important role in almost all of our bodies.

     Without my ears, life would be difficult and miserable. Some people can't communicate with deaf people, and won't be able to send a message through at all. I personally don’t know sign language, and neither do most of the people I know. I would never enjoy the sounds of a movie, cartoon, or nature! My teacher and parents will find it hard to teach me or assign me work. In times of frustration or despair, everyone can do little or nothing to encourage or comfort me. I would have lost one of my five senses, and my favorite one of all. Life would be hard and full of despair without ears.

Dear future me

May 3, 2017

               Dear future Akash,

       Hello future me! How are you? As I have implied, I am Akash, but five years ago. You are a Junior in highschool now, I guess. I imagine you being the same as I am now. I hope you are still getting good grades, still a good person, and still very healthy. First of all, I hope you are still getting good grades. I expect that you are caught on on all of your assignments. Hopefully, you still have a gold honour roll. If not, start now. Study everyday. Work as hard as you can. It may sound weird to be inspired by you five years ago, but just do it. I hope you are still chasing my old dream of becoming a heart surgeon, and taking the subjects needed for that. Also, I hope you are still a good person, and you are nice to everyone. I imagine that you still have only a few enemies. Hopefully you don’t plan to or never have made any seriously bad decisions. I would expect a clear permanent record. Hopefully you have no bad friends either, and our parents our happy. If all of this applies to you, then I am proud of future me! Finally, I hope you are very healthy. Do you eat healthy? Do you have any disease or something that was caused because of unsanitary reasons? I hope you are completely fine and ready to learn every day. If you don’t eat healthily, you will find yourself being less efficient. Also, please have a proper amount of sleep, which is eight hours or above. YA NEED TO DRINk ZE MILK to grow. I want to be nice and tall when I grow up. All in all, I hope you are still getting good grades, still a good person, and still very healthy. I will be proud of you if you are.

From,

[(ME) Aksh] Akash

Leave during Break? Vs No leaving during Break (For High schoolers)

Should high schoolers be allowed to leave School Campus During Breaks Debate

Yes:

Students need more freedom.

Students may want to have a variety of foods, see a variety of places, variety of people to interact.

Students are responsible for their good and bad.

If they don’t come back on time it is their loss not the school’s.

No:

It is not safe off campus.

Students may get hurt, and may be unable to contact anyone. Students may get lost.

It is difficult to account for Students.

They may be in danger, be stuck somewhere, or decide to skip school for a day. The school wouldn’t know what happened. The school cannot account for their absence. It is much easier for the school to account for students if they are on campus.

There is not enough time.

1. It takes so much time getting out of the school and going somewhere off campus. That would leave little time at target destination.

Cyber Seniors (Film)

Cyber Seniors

By: Akash Agrawal

The film Cyber Seniors was released in 2014, and is about connecting seniors to the internet. It talks about a program which teaches seniors how to use the internet. This film impressed me, made me see things in a different way, but can be improved.

First of all, this film impressed me. One thing that impressed me was that many seniors don’t know how to use the internet, and that some program was made to teach them to use it. These people used their time to help seniors! This film was made to describe this program. Another fact that impressed me was that many seniors aren’t in contact with their relatives. This film talks about a program, which can help connect them with their family again. The third fact that impressed me, was that this program brought seniors together. This film talked about a program that connected people to the internet. Then, they helped the seniors get together. Another fact that impressed me was that seniors made youtube videos with the help of their partners. This film talked about a competition between seniors which said that the senior that had the most views on their video, would win. One fact that really impressed me was that a senior had four thousand views on a video. This film talked about connecting seniors to the internet, and some people showed the seniors how to use youtube. The final fact that impressed me, was that some seniors have few companions, and would use the internet to find one. This film showed seniors how to use the internet, and one thing they showed them to do was to use social media. Shena and Max helped teach seniors to use the internet, and they made the program and teach seniors at senior centers.

Also, this film made me see things in a different way. I had never heard of a senior not knowing what an email was. It made me see that many seniors have never used the internet, or rarely use it. The fact that many seniors don’t use the internet seemed out of place. The scene where a senior received a comment on his image appealed to me. The way he reacted, he was joyful.

Finally, this film can be improved. The producers of this film should ask each senior to introduce themselves before they showed them how to use the Internet. We would be able to know more about the seniors and their past. We would know why they would want to use the Internet. If someone asked me if I would recommend this film, I would say yes. This film is a great way to tell people that many seniors don't use the Internet. Maybe, some people can connect their relatives to the Internet, and they could stay in touch with each other or have fun.

All in all, the film Cyber Seniors talks about a program which connected seniors to the Internet. This film impressed me, made me see things in a different way, but can be improved.
