凤凰木 我位于山脚旁祖宅的后院有棵百年凤凰木，奶奶 过的老师看见了，但他们视若无睹。女孩想要反抗， 从我小时候开始就爱讲从我祖上传下来的“凤凰木的 她向她的同桌求助，希望她的同桌能帮她证明她有带 传说”。据说这棵凤凰木是火神祝融和木神句芒之 作业，但她的同桌只说了：“我没注意。” 女，重黎的化身，这个孩子不知为何落入凡间，因为 拥有与凡人不同的火红色头发而被凡人欺辱。最后这 七月到了，学校里的凤凰木开了，刚好当天刮起 个孩子被当成恶魔的化身，被烧死了。在她死后，她 了大风，火红色的花瓣不断掉落，是难得一见的奇 的身躯化成这棵凤凰木。奶奶说：“这棵凤凰木不一 景。火红色的花瓣飘过礼堂前的讲台，飘过教学楼面 样，它能让你看清你心里的愧疚。孩子啊，以后多看 前的三面旗帜，飘过打击霸凌的海报，最终落在鲜红 看这棵凤凰木，它能让你正视自己！”从此以后，我 的血液上。这个女孩跳楼了，在这难得一见的奇景里 每次回到祖宅，奶奶总是指着凤凰木问：“你看见了 跳楼了。她没有留下任何东西，连一封遗书都没有。 什么？”每次我只是敷衍地回答几句，直到我中三那 警察来到学校，做了简单的调查工作，也审问了许多 年。 与女孩同班的同学，包括我。 我的生活似乎与凤凰木挂上了勾，连我的中学校 “你知道受害者的家庭情况吗？” 园也种有大片凤凰木。不过中三的我并没有什么心情   “不知道。” 去欣赏，这时的中三生们正在忙着准备中三评估，但   “你知道受害者为何保持沉默吗？” 这不影响大家对今年的转学生的惊讶和惊恐。这位转   “不知道。” 学生是个女孩，但若不是提前被告知，我们在看见她    “你与她同班了四个月，为什么一点也不了解 时根本不会知道。这个女孩患有罕见的皮肤病，全身 她？” 上下的皮肤看起来就像树皮！在这之前，我们已经提   “为什么我要了解她？” 前打了预防针，所以在这个女孩到来时，我们都表现   “你是她的同桌啊！” 出对她的热烈欢迎，但是这个“欢迎”并没有持续多   “所以？” 久。   “……”   “…我知道霸凌者是谁。“ 开学第二天，她的桌子上被人写上“丑八怪”三   “谁？” 个大字，班上所有人都对此感到十分愤怒，老师知道   “这所学校里所有的人，包括我！” 了也在班上公开维护她。尽管如此，第三天，第四天 这三个字依然出现了，第五天甚至用了永久性麦克笔    旁观者也是霸凌者！我见证过这个女孩在这所 写在白板上。这时，我们都察觉了，这是一场以驱逐 学校里短短四个月的生活；我见证过这个女孩从讲台 为目的的霸凌事件。 走到我身旁的座位时努力撑起的笑容；我见证过这个 女孩跪在教室门口向我求助的目光；我见证过这个女 渐渐地，愤怒的声音变小了，取而代之的是沉默 孩的尸体被一群人围观嘲笑时我的无动于衷！那段时 和伤人的流言。霸凌事件随之升级，女孩的书包里的 间，我看着窗外的凤凰木，总会感到心神不宁，为了 书不翼而飞，铅笔盒里被放入恶心的毛毛虫，本来写 能以更好的状态迎接中三评估，我寻求了心理医生的 好的作文变成一篇不堪入目的文章，最后甚至到了被 协助。 勒索，被殴打的地步。尽管如此，我们都没有采取任 何行动，并非恐惧，只是明哲保身。2000年起霸凌    年尾时，为了庆祝我的中三评估获得优异的成 事件逐渐泛滥，而大多数的目击者或知情者都选择 绩，我回到了祖宅与亲朋好友一同庆祝。奶奶又问 了“安全的沉默”，而另一小部分则成为了霸凌者。 我：“你看见了什么。”这次我认真地回答道：“一 个女孩儿。”奶奶又问：“她的名字是？”我想了 这一小部分由目击者或知情者转为霸凌者的人并 又想，答案仿佛就在口中，奶奶把一片火红色的花 不局限在学生里。这个女孩的绰号越来越多，“丑八 瓣拿给我，看着这片花瓣，我颤抖地说：“她叫…重 怪”、“树妖”之类的已经是很常见的，但将这些绰 黎。” 号说出口的人并不只有学生，还有一名老师。我们这 班的学生不只一次见到这个女孩因为作业“不见”而 陈思琪 2P11 被罚跪在教室门口被老师辱骂。辱骂的过程被许多路 214

十七岁的天空 十七岁，像美丽的花蕊，含苞待放；十七岁，想流淌的小河，奔流不息；十七岁，像炙热的太阳，朝气 蓬勃。十七岁的天空，很广，很广，抬起头来，天蓝，云静，风轻，一只雄鹰展开了它巨大而美丽的翅膀， 在蔚蓝的天空中，自由自在地翱翔，它煽动着有力的翅膀，飞往高空，飞越白云，飞向理想的彼岸......十七 岁，青春的象征，这是青春的激昂，这是青春的勇气。 蓦然回首，校园生活带着我们走过了春风的温暖、夏夜的清朗，接着走进秋天林荫道间的细碎阳光， 就算变换了模样，我们仍然记得季节残留的昨日......记得夏天，我们肆意挥洒着汗水，肆意挥霍那无尽的阳 光，那样的岁月是多么值得怀念。回忆像一份薄册，轻轻翻开，扬起纷飞的尘埃，伴随着无限的残阳，仿佛 回到那似水流年的美好岁月。时间太瘦，指缝太宽，它总是不经意地从我的指缝间溜走，伸手紧握，抓住的 只是空气。 明媚的笑容是青春的标志，苦楚的泪水也是学习中少不了的。十七岁的天空不止是湛蓝如水，也有蒙昧 阴沉。青春年华，我们爱笑。也许是一件小事情，也许是一个可爱的动作，就足以让我们撒下银铃般的笑 声。青春年华，我们爱哭，也许是一点小委屈，也许是一个很伤感的小事，就足以让我们流下真情流露的泪 水。青春中，有刚毅，有温柔，有坚强，有脆弱。这一切的一切，组成了一个美好绚烂的花样年华，像青春 的暖风，会温柔地抚平那些微不足道的伤痕。 还未到十七岁时，就听人说过，十七岁的天空是布满黑云的。我不相信，在我眼里，十七岁是淡淡的悸 动，是校园里的成群结伴，是在高中战场里的凌云壮志，是青春宇宙里最亮的一颗星。步入十七岁的季节， 使我更加地成熟，少了一份幼稚。站在十七岁的天空下，时光将美丽的青春雕琢成奢华的回忆。它无时无刻 都在提醒我，铭记那些已经远离抑或陪伴在身边的朋友们，用潸然泪下的文字，去记住已逝的曾经。走过十 七岁，一步一步走过昨日我的孩子气，这时，我已经走过了我的十七个春夏秋冬。在青春年华里，过去有很 多的感动我都无法描述，只能在心里默默地回应那些美好。走过青葱岁月，无声无息，每一个出现在我生命 中的过客都让我幸福且珍惜，让我拥有许多的快乐回忆。 十七岁的天空，五彩斑斓，缤纷绚烂，只见那经历风雨，被光阴冲刷过的校园里，整齐的步伐，激昂的 声音，响彻整个校园，回荡在我们每一个人的心中。那是我们青春的旋律，奋斗的宣言。十七岁的天空，忽 明忽暗，阴晴不定，只听那嘈杂的人群中传来种种叹息和阵阵惊喜，有人满脸愁苦缓缓离去，有人带着满心 欢喜满载而归。 十七岁的天空，腥火血雨，战阵常伴，高二正式开学就已经嗅到了一丝硝火弥漫的味道，成山的书本， 做不完的习题，永远要被占用的课后时间，我终于体会到了紧张的感觉，那是无数次心里模拟都无法企及的 紧迫感，所有人都在努力，千军万马过独木桥，一着不慎，便是满盘皆输，而我，输不起。十七岁的天空， 相扶相依，共同成长，面对失败和困难，我们祸福相依、披荆斩棘到达胜利的前方。 有时候，即便知道会受惩罚，但还是会勇敢地站出来，因为这才是最真实的我们，在被打磨成光滑的圆 之前，我们带着小小的棱角和周身柔软的刺，带着无畏的自信和坚定，当一次短暂却帅气的英雄。青春的表 达，往往不计后果，我们挑战权威，打破规矩，以桀骜不驯的姿态祈求自由，却也忽视了彩虹总是伴随着风 雨，成长总是伴随着阵痛，我们因为年轻而振臂高呼，也因年轻而付出代价。 人好像不能两次踏入同一条河流，那么失去的东西在当下就已经失去了吗？回忆的拼图里，最无可奈何 的那一块叫错过。青春是人生中最美好的时光，有迷茫、有希望、有成长、有伤痛、有苦、有泪、有乐、有 笑。人人都想重返青春，因为青春最美好，人生中所有的事都是在青春中获得完结。谁都青春不迷茫？其实 我们都一样，因为有过迷茫，才懂得成长，因为有过孤独，才懂得认清自己，因为不被理解，才懂得认清朋 友。因为，青春有过迷茫，所以前途才会一片光亮，人生中，若没有迷茫的人生，不叫做人生。 人们说青春是与七个自己相遇，一个明媚，一个忧伤，一个华丽，一个冒险，一个倔强，一个柔软，剩 下的那个正在成长。我们在成长的道路上经历风雨，遇见荆棘，会忍气吞声，也会强势反弹。年轻的我们一 起碰撞出的力量，几乎是不可思议的。我们一起尽着青春的本分，感受着过程中的美妙，张扬着彼此的豪 情，同时，那些涌上心头的感觉就像冻土漫上太平洋暖流，它们柔软、和煦、微甜，十七岁的天空是我们的 天空，专属于我们。 黄靖 5S5 215

毕业钟声响起 “我今年十七岁了。”这句话，在内心也不知道响起多少遍了。即将毕业的钟声，在内心响起。是啊，我今年高二， 是我第五年穿着蓝裙白衣，却没有第六年了。内心的那个钟，仿佛在等待那个真正响起的日子。毕业年，毕业生，大马教 育文凭考试，几乎可以画上等号。从来没有想过时间那么快流逝，有一种昨天才升上初中一的感觉。 有一个被我命名为“毕业”的钟，在内心嘀嘀嗒嗒地转动。在我看来，毕业可以改变内心的想法。曾经，我很讨厌与 人交心，与同班同学打交道，与有过误会的朋友冰释前嫌。我甘愿于孤独，我不愿打开心扉。毕业季，即将来临。我听着 内心的那个嘀嗒声，我愿意毕业后没有人和我继续保持联络。我尝试改变，我对一直在我身边伴着我的朋友打开心扉，我 不再抗拒接触素未相识的人。我很开心，也很感动，身边的他们愿意等待我，打开心扉。为了不让自己后悔，我和朋友总 是参加一些自己有兴趣的比赛，不在乎输赢，只在乎经验。内心恳切地希望着，毕业的那个钟声，不要响起，或是，延迟 一些时候再响吧！ 高二，除了是人生的一个重大转折点，也是一个充满回忆的时间段。我就读于高二理五，我的同班同学是个“宝藏” ，大家有着不一样的秘密。除了要面对繁重的功课，还有就是一个个细心的老师。高二遇到的老师，都给予我们很多的帮 助。他们指导的是一群“毕业生”，他们也是让那个“毕业”的钟“嘀嗒”得更快的人。他们总是给予我们鼓励，无论是 关于未来或现在。他们总在提醒我们，我们是即将毕业的学生了。他们总是无私地、不遗余力地，给予我们各种形式的指 点。高二，是一段旅程的终点吗？不是，高二是一个在路途上的客栈罢了，接下去的，还有一个名为“一生”的旅程。 毕业，让我对眼前所见的事物，有着不一样的感悟。我很喜欢美丽的风景，我也很喜欢对着美景发呆。我曾想过，毕 业钟声响起，我最不舍的校园景物，肯定是窗外的树和课室外的景色。考试的时候，我的座位靠窗，窗外有一棵很大、很 宏伟的树，我在作答考试卷的时候，外面总有一片两片落叶飘过我的窗；早晨，总有两只黄色的鸟在外飞翔，互相追逐， 累了就停留在树枝上歇息。我很喜欢我上课的地方，我的课室位居三楼。每次在走廊等待学长的指示才可以进班，我总是 往远处看，除了每栋建筑物的屋顶，还有一些高耸的树和在空中飘着的云朵。我想扩大眼中的世界，我想看得更远。我想 出外看一看，其实，我很喜欢我的学校，我青春岁月的见证。 时光飞逝，那个命名为“毕业”的钟，提醒我，这是最后一次上学了。最后一次以学生的身份走进校园。看见校门 外的“圣母玛利亚国民型中学”，竟然感到不舍。五年啊，都花在这里了。今天的书包没有超重的书本作业，只有一个 水壶、铅笔盒和一本纪念册。这天，我想回到以前每次抱怨老师的日子，回到怨恨老师总要带课本上课的日子。那个“嘀 嗒”声，仿佛越来越近了。我走进班，等候老师播报召集高二生到礼堂进行毕业典礼暨颁奖典礼。我走到窗边，看见了那 两只在飞翔的鸟，今天它们身上的颜色，仿佛闪闪发光。我走到课室外站着，静静地，看着那熟悉的屋顶和树，今天的云 朵仿佛聚集在一起见证我们毕业。“喂，靖琳！去礼堂啦！看什么看得那么入神？”我的朋友推一推我，提醒我该下楼去 礼堂了。我微微笑不答话，跟着队伍一起下楼了。 今天的礼堂好不一样。台上有个布条写着“毕业典礼暨颁奖典礼”。第五年，我终于是主角了。心里那个名为“ 毕业”的钟，仿佛就快到时间响起了一样。我们跟着班级排列。接着，就和往常周会一样，唱国歌、州歌和校歌。不同 的是，这是我的最后一次了。以后不会再穿着缝着学校徽章的校服唱歌了。颁奖典礼也马上开始。我的心不在颁奖典礼 上。“嘀……嗒…… ”毕业的钟转动得越来越慢了，仿佛不想结束一样。终于是毕业典礼了，校长给予我们一些祝福语， 例如“考试加油，未来一路美好。”接着，每班代表上台致词。很多以前不敢说的话，现在他们都说出来了。听着听着， 我崩不住了，眼泪哗啦啦的流了下来。我明明就很舍不得。所有毕业生，红着眼睛、肿着鼻子，唱着属于二零一九毕业生 的 毕业歌——《展梦，无惧》。“展开翅膀，向着你的梦飞去，不需要害怕，你的背后还有我……”很喜欢这句歌词，也 不想毕业。可是啊，不需要害怕，多年以后回来，这个校园，依旧是我最怀念的地方，我的避风港。 “嘀……嗒……嘀……嗒……叮叮叮…… ”毕业的那个钟声响起了。放学的钟，那个象征着我毕业了得离开的钟声，响 起了。还有那个，我心中命名为“毕业“的钟，真的敲响了。十七岁的校园生涯，正式完结。希望未来的我在天空中自由 飞翔时，能路经此地，停下来栖息，怀念那个专属于我的独家记忆——十七岁，毕业钟声响起。 黄靖琳 5S5 216

There will be thorns and rocks along the way We will whine, we will cry and we will stomp But the tears are just temporary. But to walk through our life we will slay. As God has a path for all of us Now come the challenges walking through the door with pride. Daring us to stand up to them But I know I will break my walls and survive. We experience joy when we were small Just like Alice in Wonderland And played with our toys till we were tall. We will walk through the doors of wonder and despair. But all hope was not lost It is our duty to go through the path we take For there will be more to come in years. It is just the matter of choosing the right people with us. The joy and happiness is not just all May we grow with more bravery As tears and sorrow will come to call. And succeed on the top together. By: Chua Zhuo Yue of 5S1

To sum it up, when the school authority places importance on reading, question is, what can Ave Maria Convent do to students will learn to value reading too. create a reading culture in the school? To begin with, teachers should identify the reason why students Last but not least, the school library should create an online do not read. By having a class discussion, teachers can correct database for students to look up books which are available in the misconceptions about reading and expose students to different library and plan their reading. On top of that, the school library genres of books. Relief teachers should go the distance by taking should carry out polls to determine the genre of books that the class to the library.

GAME CHANGING Written by : Wong Jo Ann 5S5 Leaders who create game changers are nothing, if they are not aware they are one. Not only are they self-aware, they’re highly emphatic of the emotions and needs of others, and they are also clearly aware of what will be embraced in the market. They possess a refined blend of intrinsic curiosity and extrinsic focus. Perhaps most of all, game changing leaders are in touch with a greater purpose - they understand the value of serving something beyond themselves. Let us talk about this man, short, skinny and “weird”. Unexpectedly, he changed the game; he changed the world. He is Jack Ma. When he went back to China, he founded an internet company. Since China has yet to connect with the west, Internet was not widely used in the country. It was a risky and unfavorable plan for most people. He was judged as a cheater. However, he still believed that internet will affect the life of people for the next 30 years. Now, his belief is proved to be a proverbial big idea as his company, Alibaba is widely used globally. Why do people come up with proverbial big ideas? They aren’t just dreamers - they are doers. Game changers have no patience for the status quo - they focus their efforts on shattering the status quo. Richard Branson, Jeff Bezos and other CEOs recognized for their big ideas didn’t just get lucky – they are committed to the constant pursuit of game changers. They do not allow their organizations to adopt conventional orthodoxy and bureaucracy - they challenge norms, break conventions, and they encourage diversity of thought. They’re never satisfied with the ordinary or mundane. Game changers possess sharpness and clarity of mind in taking action. To many, it is unbelievable that a 94-year-old man - Tun Dr Mahathir is still actively involved in politics and helms the top position in the country in such a challenging time. Despite his old age, he still has a clear picture of what it takes to reshape the country, to regain the glory of our beloved nation in the global arena as to be a well-respected nation. By definition, a game changer causes change. If nothing changes, if nothing is created, if nothing is improved, if nothing is transformed, then you don’t have a game changer. The message here is a simple one- don’t just play the game - change the game. The goal is to create, improve on, and innovate around best practices in order to find next practices. Who knows if any of us will be another incredible game changer of tomorrow? Don’t Grow Up, It’s A Trap Growing up is a weird, weird thing, I’m definitely not looking forward to my future, You’ll never know what life will bring. Unsure about what to choose as my career, I see it as something horrific and bad, The path ahead seems so unclear, Adult life, is something that I fear. There’s no doubt in my mind that, Growing up is something that I dread. Nevertheless, I’d still count my blessings, After all, it’s the little things in life that keeps me going, Looking back, I would rather be a baby, Where I could just eat, sleep and play all day, I will always be thankful and appreciate, Never worrying about what others have to say, My family, mentors and classmates, Living life in my own way. They make life more meaningful and enjoyable, A little less dull and bearable. Looking back, how I wish I was a child, All happy-go-lucky and full of positivity, Growing up is an inevitable process of life, So, I think it’s best to enjoy the ride, Free from chores and responsibility, Try to survive, Gleeful and cheery, And be thankful that you’re alive. Unlike the present me.

But there are sub questions of abcdefg. (Even though it can be blurry sometimes) Homework seems easy? It's a typical white lie, Homework or no homework, AMC teachers just want the best for their students, To finish it I stayed up till three, \"I do until I want to die!\" because homework means lesson consolidation, while no homework means chance for relaxation. Doing Add Maths will make you cry, Homework completion gives me a sense of accomplishment, especially when it comes to trigonometry.

There are a lot of ups and downs in our life and this is crucial and pivotal. Can you imagine a piano without black keys? It’s not perfect but strange.

That is why a life without circumstances or obstacles cannot be considered as a perfect life. J. K. Rowling had gotten a divorce and could barely afford to feed her baby in 1994. She saw herself as a failure as her marriage had failed, and she was jobless with a dependent child. She was so poor that sometimes she didn’t even get to take her meals. During this period, Rowling was diagnosed with clinical depression and contemplated suicide. But she knew she couldn’t give up because her precious baby daughter, Jessica needed her and rely on her to live on. Therefore, once again she lit up her guts and positive energy. She told herself and reminded herself again and again that she wanted to pursue her dreams! She wanted to give her baby enough nutrients for growth! Soon, she published her first book: Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. The book went viral and it won a lot of prizes! Harry Potter is now a global brand worth an estimated US $15 billion and the last four books have set records as the fastest-selling books in history! J. K. Rowling once said, “It’s our choices that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.” Although obstacles and mistakes will leave regrets in our life, why not look at the bright side of these cases? As we go through these problems, overcome and conquer our fears, we are actually gaining knowledge, practical and useful knowledge that can’t be learned from textbooks. These are the significant and indispensable life lessons that will help us to resolve our future. Our future will be much easier because we have gone through impediments that are much worse. They will prepare us and get us ready for our future. They turn us into bold warriors in life that will never give up easily, heroes that are undefeated and inevitable just like heroes from marvels! For every storm a rainbow, for every tear a smile, for every care a promise and a blessing in each trial. If we really want to achieve triumph in life and be someone who will be adulated by the society, we must have the courage, perseverance and valour to tackle every hindrance and encumbrance we face in life. All of these will eventually mould us into better human beings as these will create a more matured-minded person. Let’s step out of our comfort zone and try to finish, do and consummate everything independently. Never give up nor give in, You will soon grow up and there your life journey begins.

KEEPING A DIARY Written by : Rachel Wong Kar Huin 4S1 Have you considered keeping a diary? A diary is a private place where you can keep your thoughts, feelings and opinions on everything from work to school and everywhere in between. There are all different types of diaries, like food diaries, health diaries or academic diaries. But your diary does not have to be specific if you don’t want it to be, it can also just be a place where you write about whatever you want. I used to have one, back in primary school. Each day before retiring to bed, I would write all the day’s happening in it. I still have it. Sometimes I would read through the pages and giggle to myself at all the absurd and silly things I had written as well as some tender moments I had experienced. It is never too late to start writing a diary. Keeping a diary is a good way to express your feelings which you find difficult to open up to your friends and family. Each day you have to face all sorts of situations, both at home and in school. Some may be pleasant and some unpleasant. So you can pour out your thoughts and deep feelings into a diary. It will help to lighten your heavy heart, as well as express your joys and happiness. Do you know, as you keep writing your thoughts and feelings on a daily basis, you will slowly but surely improve your writing skills as well as your English? You will be surprised to see yourself making great strides in writing good compositions. It is also a good way to use your time wisely, instead of wasting it on unprofitable activities. Writing a diary is also a way to record important moments and days like your birthday, parents wedding anniversary, Teacher’s Day, Sports Day and so on. You may record all the events that happen with your family and friends in your life. You can remember certain friends who have left you to continue their studies elsewhere. Writing a diary is quite enjoyable and fun too. You can read through the pages of your diary and recall those precious moments you really treasure. Sometimes those things you have completely forgotten will bring you joy when you read them after many months. Writing in your diary should never be a chore or a burden, so remember to have fun with it. It can be a place of solace, a place of creativity, a place of reflection, a place where your thoughts can roam free. When starting a diary, make sure you are writing about things you care about and are passionate about because as long as you enjoy what you are writing and the process of it, you will never regret doing it. Diary writing is for you, not for anyone else. Therefore when you write in your diary, do not worry too much about the rules of spelling and grammar or how other people might judge what you write. Getting bogged down in the rules can distract you or slow you down. This can hinder your creativity. Personal writing, just for yourself, can help you get to know yourself better, decrease stress, help you resolve disputes with others, and process difficult emotions. This can have a positive impact on both your mental and physical health. If there is something in your diary you want to share with others, you can always edit it later if you are concerned about spelling and grammar. Lastly, I am sure you must be convinced after reading this article, how beneficial it is to start writing a diary. Very few people do it these days. Why don’t you be among the few? Your diary is a judgement-free zone, so do not feel like they need to be perfect. Let the words flow. Many autobiographies of famous men were written from the recordings of their diaries. Someday you can also write your own autobiography! The Climb Crying out to the sky For not giving it more time, From the moment I opened my eyes for the Weeping as I experienced my first heartbreak. first time, When I thought the boy in my class was cute, And looked into my mother’s eyes. When I could no longer wear my favourite shirt. As she cradled me in her arms, When I slammed my bedroom door in my mother’s And told me she loved me, face, I knew that this life was mine to live. And rebelled against everything she said, When I was five, I realized, I wanted to be a superhero, That I was growing up. How my father and I laughed, As I flew around the room in his arms. Growing up, Is quite possibly the scariest thing on Earth, The line drawn on the wall that showed my height Wandering into the unknown, Watching everything you once knew change. Increased every day, Telling me that time was flying by, But I know that I’ll make it through, Because it doesn’t matter how fast we get to I was growing taller! Soon I would be a giant! the end, Or what is waiting for us there, At the age of eleven, Because it will be a journey of a lifetime, I sat on my dog’s grave, The climb that will lead me to who I am meant 222 to be.
