It should be, you know, given that I am super-happy with Dylan, and we had an adorable first date, on Valentine's Day. This kid sneaked up on me from behind, when we were eating, and sort of clung to me. He was such a warm, little thing! I totally made friends with him.
His name is Aaron Rose, and he is now officially my favourite Keeper. He loves quidditch! We had a good talk about it. Of course, Dylan thought that plain ruined our time - his and mine - and was not too happy, and things got so heated up between the two of them - him and Aaron - that, in the end, I walked out and left them to bicker with each other.
But, even then, things ought to be awesome, because I am having a lovely time with Dylan. With my friends, too. Lori Louu gave me a pretty dress, and sparkly shoes for Christmas, by the way. Even Torin gave me a pretty present -- a Nemo plush toy. It's adorable. But the reason that all is not well, is Hogwarts. There is something wrong, in the castle.
What, you ask?
To begin with, Dylan woke up in the Hospital Wing, with a HUGE hole in his chest. Even the thought makes me want to shut my eyes tight. He says Healer Ashford tore off his shirt, because it was stuck to his chest. God, that must have been painful -- and he didn't even tell me, until later! When he did, he took off his shirt to show me the scar, and I... sort of noticed his chest more than the scar, because he has an amazing chest.
SUCH an amazing chest.
Which does NOT mean that I am not worried. I am, it's not normal -- and it's not just Dylan, either. Reese was found, badly injured, by Head Boy Fritzera aka Jackie. There have been other students, popping up all over the castle. Pretty badly wounded, all of them. To top it all off, Cela has just disappeared. The Ravenclaw Prefect. She's nowhere to be found.
I feel frightened, not for myself, but for my friends. There's something very, very wrong going on, and I wish I could do something to keep it at bay. Anything to make sure my friends stay okay, and -- and I still have to do homework, despite all of this. The only thing I can say, to make myself happy about that, is that most of it is fun, and gives me an opportunity to research, and delve into new things.
Turned in Muggle Studies, only yesterday.
A copy of the Muggle Studies Homework is stuck to the next page, with a permanent sticking charm.
Text Cut: Muggle Studies, homework two!
[] Pick an athlete from any Olympic Games that you found inspiring and write about them. What makes them special to you.
Women empowerment. The term may seem outdated - today, or in the country we live in - because we have achieved much of what is termed "gender equality," but it has been a vital part of the lives of many individuals, individuals who have broken down dams of evil and prejudice to lead the way to a new world.
Why do I mention this, in an assignment that is supposed to focus on an Olympics athlete? Maybe because, for me, homework is not just a bunch of words to be handed in for grading; but a way to direct one towards healthy research, towards a new world - and I find a new world, a very brave new world, in Kiran Khalid Zaman Khan, the swimmer I have decided to focus on, in this essay.
Born in December 1989, Khan was twelve years of age when she participated in her first international swimming contest, and nineteen when she made the cut for the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Is that a big achievement? It might not seem so to many, for younger girls have proved their mettle, but delve deeper, explore Khan's background, and you will come to what there is in her that inspires, that wants one to speak of her in golden words.
An Asian by birth, Khan was born in a country that was at the verge of civil war. Where girls were married off at the ages of ten and eleven -- where jeans was a taboo, and a girl who dared to play football was considered the 'wrong' kind of person. How could a place like this, bear the thought of a girl who wanted to come into the spotlight -- who wanted, in fact, to swim, not in the confines of her home, but on an international scale, on a professional level? There was no lack of people who verbally abused her, there were even people who wanted her hurt. But Khan?
She refused to back out.
Sweat, passion, hard work, practice - she infused of all of this, into her love for swimming. She knew she had talent, and she knew who she was, and that drove her forward. She won sixteen gold medals at the South Asian Federation Game, and a heap of silvers at others, but she knew there was more she could do, and she strove for it with all of her might. Though her entry into the 2008 Olypmics was through a wild card, that gave her more strength, because she was aware she had begun with practically nothing, and was finally making a tiny place for herself.
I could have written about anyone, professor. About someone who wan a gold, or who made some amazingly bid headlines. But I did not.
Because my story is about a girl who had only constraints, an absolute lack of funds, total opposition, not even a homeland that housed proper training centres, but who still continued to labour.
Because my story is about a girl who sowed hope and faith in the hearts of the people she belonged to -- hope that a new world is possible, and faith in oneself, faith in the crystal dreams that we fashion. About a girl whose respect was taken away because she had dared to be herself -- a girl who won it back because she had the courage to take a stand -- a girl who held, in her palm, a tiny firefly that lit up a metaphorical night.
Because my story is about a girl who showed that, where there is a will, there is always, no matter how tiny, a way to the realms of candela.
Things to do:
♥ Try to worry less.
♥ Stick close to Lori Louu.
♥ Do homework.

Aww. I think when you write a lot, people get drawn in by themselves. The real key is persistence. Keep writing, keep trying. GOOD luck with all your ventures, on and off SS. =]

I found this an awesomethhhh start! It shows that she cares and of course that she's headed in a unqiue direction with the essay.

Golden words. Nice phrasing! I told ya this essay deserves a review of its own. I enjoyed the read!!!
Quote:

That's so mean! *pokesez them all* The part most remarkable is that this is all true and comes straight from RL.
Quote:
But Khan?
She refused to back out.
I find this nicely worded. It sort of gives one that upsurge of strength and hope. It's like a play of words. Well done!!
Quote:
Sweat, passion, hard work, practice - she infused of all of this, into her love for swimming.
Another good bit since it not only carries the essay forward in a nice way but it also tells how swimming was more than just a sport for the girl and how she actually put her dreams and labour into it.
Quote:
She won sixteen gold medals at the South Asian Federation Game, and a heap of silvers at others, but she knew there was more she could do, and she strove for it with all of her might.
Right! She had talent but when put on a world-level it wasn't as good as it could have been. She lacked a lot of support but she was trying. That especially makes your choice of athlete unique since it shows she was a natural but not the best and she had to try to get what she wanted and work very very hard for it.
Quote:
Because my story is about a girl who had only constraints, an absolute lack of funds, total opposition, not even a homeland that housed proper training centres, but who still continued to labour.
Go her!!
Quote:
Because my story is about a girl who sowed hope and faith in the hearts of the people she belonged to -- hope that a new world is possible, and faith in oneself, faith in the crystal dreams that we fashion.
That was gorgeously worded. 'Crystal dreams that we fashion.' It's true. We raise dreams but they're so delicate and it takes so little to crush them especially since we humans are so quick to give up.
Quote:
-- a girl who held, in her palm, a tiny firefly that lit up a metaphorical night.
Once again nice wording!
Quote:
Because my story is about a girl who showed that, where there is a will, there is always, no matter how tiny, a way to the realms of candela.
And that was a very fitting end to a very fitting essay! It just summed up everything that the essay said - where there's a will, there's a way. I love the reference to candela which is the unit of light.
GREATTTTTTT work chicka!!
PAMS! PAMS! PAMS!!
Love,
~~Jay~~

Yes. Her hard work is definitely praise-worthy.

Thank you bunches, sweetie. I'm happy to know that enjoyed the essay this much. You're right, too -- we are too quick, to give up. That's human nature, and it's so fickle and fragile.
