Destination into paradise: New York City

By -

It was in the year of 2009, at the tiny age of fourteen that adventurous teenager Za’e Johnson began her experience in New York City. It was April, and the very beginning of five days in paradise despite the dramatic changes in weather, (almost every season was experienced in one day) each day saw sun and rain, showers and clouds, it was very dramatic! The five days were spent among friends, (classmates) and two teachers. The city was bliss. Throughout the day the scenery and experiences were amazing and throughout the night they were deeply haunting, scary yet so magical! New York City was quickly becoming a place that Za’e believed to only exist in dreams. It was becoming a place in which over the years she would long to return to…

Whilst visiting various shopping centres (as every girl must in New York!) she purchased an MTV T-shirt, worn for very many occasions and treasured until this very day, as well as many trinkets of all shapes and sizes. There she met a sales assistant by the name of Birdy, whom she thought very highly of and he loved her voice and accent. It would be a shame to leave the shopping store. It would be devastating to leave the country.

Although the sun was occasionally seen, the rain would not wash away the smile on this teenager’s face, a girl in New York City – not a class of school pupils, just a girl; oblivious to the chaotic chorus of pupils around her and next she would experience the trip of a lifetime…

The Empire State building was Za’es most favourite experience whilst visiting the country; it was far more magical than she ever imagined it could be - beyond words. She was also offered the trip to visit Central Park to see the beauty of 24,000 trees, 250 acres of lawn, 150 acres of streams and lakes and 130 acres of woodland – an image that many of us only ever dream of. Nature at its very core, she did not decline the opportunity because she was given a chance to attend and decided to grasp it with both hands!

There is nothing that Za’e would change about her experience in New York, although she is burdened with one regret concerning a kiss that she believes should not have happened however, to return would give her a new opportunity to experience her holiday again, with the magic it brings and no regrets this time around.

The trip overall changed Za’e Johnson a lot, for the better; she now wants to travel more, for the rest of her life and to experience more about the world around her and what it may contain. It has become her dream to return to the country in which all of her dreams came true. She saw a world of amazing opportunity, beautiful sights and sounds and she believes that it is beckoning for her to return.

Facebook, think twise...

Facebook is one of the most trouble causing social media sites out there. That is of course, if you let it be. I’m forever hearing complaints about bullying over Facebook, there is quite a simple solution to this; block them! To the older generation, Facebook is the trouble that you take home from school or work with you; it’s the ‘acquaintances’ you don’t want to associate with and the ‘popular kids’ that you don’t want reading your diary. However, Facebook is what you make it, as it is with every other social networking or chat site out there. Facebook is no virus, you can turn it off, and you can delete it, such complexity! Not. Bullying over social networking sites just ticks me off, its one simple click to get rid of these bored attention seeking nutters so why give them the encouragement to waste their time? You give reporters, like me hopefully, the stupid stories that fill the papers that then give parents, like mine, the impression that Facebook is some suicide bomb timer cont

Game on

It is a true fact, there is no full stop to gaming. There truly is no end. Whether it is a game in the playground or a game on the Playstation 3, we were playing games far before we advanced to such technology. So now that we have established that games will never come to an end, and only advance very swiftly, how far do we go before we go to far? Is it when our character becomes a cannibal and all we can place our hands into the screen to pull up the body of our victim and begin to eat them by pulling them into our mouths in a virtual reality? Or is it when games become reality, when they place you into a room and lock the door and leave you so that you are willing to participate in a number of challenges just to get out, to finish the task you have been given. Or are both acceptable? As humans we have a need to feel satisfaction, we need to complete a game, and more realistic, the better.

Summer words

By -
Ten miles until I reach my destination. Clouds high in the sky, sun under a sky that I will never really see. A metallic shine on the bonnet of the car, casts me into an eternity That I also never thought, That I would know. Ten more miles, the radio, so quietly playing. Silence pleases me. My pups still laying, so joyfully upon my lap. Breathing in the summer smells... And sensing the blueness of the sky, black and white, In the pupil of their eye. No cars but mine, to pollute the environment, Wanting to walk, But wishing to fly. Like a swift. In the beauty of the sky. A poem given no words by a beholder, but listened to by many an ear, To take away the words, That I give, And I live. In a community of words. But only as the last citizen.
