Diya Diamond Talks

It all started off as a nice day at school on a Friday morning. It was sunny, beautiful, and mystical oustide. Everybody was doing their morning work, Mr.Adams was doing whatever he had to do, well you probably get the point. Nothing strange was happening. I was talking to the people near me, Veer, Ananya, Jillian. It was a song day where we annotate songs. Today’s song was Unwritten by Natasha Beddingfield. I personally love listening to songs and not always writing them down. Well, I should get started with the story before I bore everybody to death.  We were on our way to music. I was in line with Roshni, Anoushka, and Anwita. I noticed that Veer and Manhar were arguing. Well, I should not say that everybody noticed, even Mr.Adams. Mr. Adams calls Manhar, Mr.Murali. He said “ Mr. Murali you don’t always have to be right. Roshni, Anwita, and Anoushka started laughing silently. I have to admit I had to laugh today. Suddenly I noticed something nobody else saw. An emotion that Veer...

As the sky darkened, she called a taxi to take her home.  Her mom had been staying with her at Jewel Plaza for the past week while preparing for the concert. Jasmine’s mom was also a famous singer. Her mom stood there and said as she came in: “ You did great sweet pea.” Jasmine looked at her mom with a sad smile.

Her mom handed her a letter with the family crest stamped onto it. She opened it… and read it.   Chapter 1 The Return Home Jasmine and her mom’s eyes met. It was like they were talking without words.

The average teenage needs to sleep for at least 8-10 hours. Right now I probably sleep for 7. It is important to get a good nights sleep. It ensures that you won't be tired the next day. Also a good nights sleep is necessary to be able to focus during the day. Here are some tips to sleep on time, and have a good sleep: Keep electronics away from wherever you are sleeping Don't be on a device(if possible) at least for 30 minutes before you sleep Choose outfits for the next day, so you can get a little extra sleep Pack all supplies needed for school Set two alarms one for 15 minutes before you are supposed to wake up.

That way it won't take longer to get up Drink a cup of hot water, it relaxes your mind and muscles Do homework in school, or try to finish it as fast as you can The early bird gets the worm: A benefit of sleeping on time and having a good nights sleep.

It is not easy to study for tests. Especially when you procrastinate or in other words only study at the last minute. Here are some tips on ways to study, and how to stay on task. ELA:     For vocabulary tests I recommend writing all the words down and/or making a Quizlet. In the long run it helps a lot.      For reading checks, it helps to take annotations along the way, rather than scrambling at the last minute to find key points and terms. Also reading a summary of the reading on SparkNotes always helps.      Grammar is one of the easier parts to study for because quizzes can be found anywhere online. Social Studies:     Reading checks on articles or historical texts usually only include the main points. It would be the best to make a Quizlet on key terms, characters names, and dates. Science:     Science is a bit more difficult to study for. It requires looking back at all the course material or experiment's done ...

I was looking back at my old writing assignments I did for ELA in 7th grade and I found this narrative. It was supposed to be an emotional one. I remember this as one of my favorite assignments. Last Chance 5 deep breaths, check. Hope for safety, check. Don’t look down, um, already did that. Taking a glance at the press, while trembling with fear as I gaze up ahead of me to look at the river course, I start to worry about the outcome of this adventure.  Flash. Snap. Flash. Snap. The journalists and photographers are snapping pictures of me before I undergo this adventure. I can’t back out now.  Let’s do this. 3, 2, 1, 0. “Aaaaaah!” Two Weeks Before I love adventures and thrills. I am not the girl who would sit around dressing up. I’m the one who would take any risk. But, that was the old me. The one before my accident. My parents have always supported me in life. But, after my accident, they became a little paranoid if not already because of my sister. They used to be my bigge...
