Her little face lit up like a thousand fireflies. "Animals? Nina want to see lion and giraffe and elephant and dinosaur!" she squealed in excitement.

Trying hard to stifle my laughter, I replied, "Oh, sweetheart, dinosaurs aren't real!"

But Alayna, with all the conviction of a little explorer, insisted, "No, mummy, Nina see dinosaur in moowie."

Ah, the wonders of toddler pronunciation! The journey to the zoo was filled with Alayna playing with her animal Legos, her excitement bubbling over as she reminded me every few minutes about the animals she was going to see.

As we approached the zoo entrance, she couldn't contain herself. Like a mini-speedster, she zoomed through, effortlessly passing under the entrance gate. "Come on, mum! Let's go see animals!" she shouted, leaving us scrambling to catch up.

The security, unable to resist her infectious enthusiasm, burst into laughter and played along. They gently guided her back to us after our speedy little entry. After securing our tickets, we entered the zoo, and Alayna's eyes sparkled like a Christmas tree.

"Thank you, mum. Thank you so much!" she exclaimed, her joy radiating like sunshine. And so, our zoo adventure began, with laughter, love, and a sprinkle of toddler magic.

There's a time that I had an acting part at the subject Social Studies, at 6th grade the miss started shouting by saying : every group act in a circles about our emirati traditional country, so I was with those 4 girls : Maha (my sister), Noora, Afra and Fatima, so Maha taked the grandma's rule, since she started changing her voice to grandma voice acting, I couldn't stop giggling and every second she talk at I giggle loud and louder, the students were yelling at me saying : There's nothing funny to laugh at, but that was making me dying off, so we've end with a really bad results, I loosed a lot of marks in the acting scene, but hopefully I didn't fail at this subject

“I’ll see you guys playing all the rides and roller coaster but I’ll sit and watch” my aunt Moza said

“WHAT!” I said because I wanted her to play with me and aunt nawal

“You should at least play few rides with us it’ll be fun I promise I won’t choose the scary ones” I said

Auntie nawal nodded in agreement and said “she’s right we are here to have fun why not we will go with the chill games”

Aunt moza stared at us and said “okay fine” when she said that I smiled from happiness because we would all have fun. We were looking for normal rides and played a few but let me tell you about this one it’s my favourite!. There was this one game it was like a mummy game and the mummy I’m talking about isn’t a mum game the Egyptian mummy thing, because my aunt moza and nawal don’t play the scary games because well of course they are scared, me on the other hand I would have had a blast!!. my two aunts asked the lady working there

“Is this a Museum roller coaster where you can see all the ancient things and all?” my aunt nawal asked

“No its a roller coaster” the lady said

“See it’s a roller coaster you guys might get scared” I added

My aunts were determined that it’s a normal roller coaster so I stayed quiet. As we went in and sat i was like “oh so maybe this is a normal roller coaster” I lied by the way I knew it wasn’t, I lied because they didn’t listen to me but let’s be honest it was a white lie it wasn’t going to hurt anyone righttt??

as it went on it was normal at first till its not but it wasn’t that scary to me but for my aunts on the other hand it was and I found it funny like really funny. When we got out my aunts bursted out laughing saying “she was right oh my good she was right we didn’t listen!!” I laughed at them but over all it was a fun experience and we all had so much fun and it was a fun experience.

The first time I saw her was at school wen i was grade 11 . I entered the classroom and sat in front of the board . I like to sit in front.

I started talking to her and she was very quiet.

''hi.. how are you , what are you reading'' I said with a good mood and happy

she looked my eyes and said:

" nothing.." she said cold

I did not like the way she spoke to me, just like she was telling me to be quiet. After days we became friends, not just friends but best friends Then we decided to join Meeting,

"hay lets join meeting when you reach home" she said it happy

" but I don't know how to join. I never joined in a meeting with my friends" I said

Then I joined the meeting. It was at 9 p.m. and it ended at 3 or 4 a.m. It was also the first time that I had spent the longer time in a meeting. Weeks had passed and we were talking these days, but now we don’t talk much. I began to feel that I did not know her and that I was not her best friend, and this makes me be calm with my friends

My mom appeared kind of excited about the idea and they changed seats, my sister took the driver's seat, and my mom took the front passenger's seat. It was so scary for my to be in a car where my sister is the one driving because I don't feel as safe as I do when my mom drives so I started screaming:" Slow down!!! Slow down!!! OMG!! We're going to die today!". Afterwards, it was my turn to drive, and to be honest, I was so sure of myself at that moment as I knew all I had to do was press the accelerator. The first thing I did when I reached the driver's seat was touch the steering wheel, and I remember the song 'See you again' by Charlie Puth playing on the radio. Everyone screamed so hard that I stopped the car and decided to play around with the brake and the accelerator," Hahahahaha!! this is so funny you guys are making me laugh so hard my stomach hurts!!", My mom gave me a look that told me to go back to the back passenger's seat and I did, then we went home and couldn't stop talking about the experience we just had.

when the plan started moving l was feeling like vomiting but went it went on l enjoyed started talking selfies and eating what they gave me in the plan l was so massive .

And when we were about to reach India they told us 10 minutes to reach at the airport of India then l started preparing myself .

when we reached India the place was nice having rain and at times sunshine.

going to their malls the thing were too much cheap compared to Dubai .

such as ziplining,parachute and much more but these two were my favourite. When we were on the beach i saw people going on parachutes and i was like "mom i really have to get on one of thoes parachute and experience what these people are experiencing" My mom and Dad looked at me shocked a bit but they weren,t that surprised cause i really love experiencing new things. My dad responded to me saying "ok" with fear in his eye. We went and to the guy that had the parchutes and we got one while i was wearing the vest my dad on the other side reciting Quran on me it was cute. It was the time for me to go my dad looked at me with a smile on his face .One minute later i was on top of the ocean i screamed really loud to the point where i forgot there was a guy behind me they were happy screams .My mom and dad are my biggest supports and they would let me experience anything and everything as long as there okay with it so thats why i tell people go and live your life no matter what happens .

I traveled to Russia for the first time in my life. It was the most enjoyable trip. My family and I had a lot of fun. We went to Russia for 10 days, and every day we saw something beautiful. The weather was very cold - 23. We were shocked by the very cold weather. I went skiing for the first time and it was a very nice experience. We played with husky dogs in the snow. I expected that I would be afraid of dogs, but I listened a lot while playing with them. We went to the largest indoor amusement park in the world and played many scary games.

I love new experiences in my life

I hope to visit Russia again. I had a lot of fun. It was a very nice experience.

" don't de scared it's okay," dad said

"I'm so scared I will cry!" I said

after we landed I felt safe .

The first time , I ride motor cycle I was felt sacred because I never try ride cycle before so it be hard but when I saw my brother's ride the motorcycle, also I want to try this thing , " this game not for girls" brother said , but I didn't listen to them . When I put my feet on the patrol my feet came down of the motorcycle tire I scream and cry because my leg got stuck on the tire .

"we say for you this game not for your " brother said , age but you didn't listen to us

" I want try but the motorcycle it so fast " I said .

then I promised myself to not to ride a motorcycle anymore .

desided to bake a cake I got all the Ingredients first I added the flour,egg, milk, vanilla, oil and baking powder and then I put the batter in the ball, then I put it in the oven , suddenly the cake exploded and shocked I felt frustrated because I worked so hard on the cake.

"what did you do"mother Walked in the kitchen

"I don't know" I said

"you put too much batter in the ball, the ball is to small! " mother said

Then I learned from my mistake to not put too much batter in a small ball.

" c'mon its not that scary. " he said

" you literally rode this a hundred times already, of course its not scary to you! " I said.

The hall time I was screaming my lungs out.

" STOP STOP...

" what do you mean stop we're in the middle of the game."

At the end it wasn't that bad and i love Rollercoasters now.

You may ask how, when and what was that meeting that changed my life, actually that meeting was about streams at the beginning, I didn't care because my dad wanted me to be in advance, but I started to listen well, suddenly I heard someone say " creative art academy" and I started to be interested and I was curious about the academy and so I decided to register as a student in the academy. when I told my parents they were mad specially my dad and he said " you're never going to entre that ac..." I interrupted him as my tears soaked my cheeks " I'll join the academy and I'll make sure you'll be proud of me in the future". and this is how I joined the academy and after a few years, my dad had finally approved of me.

A couple years back, my sister and I told our family about a theme park that was opened recently at the time, and how their rides seem to be fun. My dad liked it and suggested when we should go, we were all looking forward to it. The day we went to the theme park I was overjoyed, we tried almost all of the rides, and even though most of them had really long waiting queue, they were worth waiting so I didn't realize I was exhausted. Before dinner time my sister suggested we get a snack break on our own. She asked me, "should we get some snacks and water?", I think I wasn't feeling empty enough so I recommended, "How about we go on the rest of the rides then go get dinner all together afterwards?". She agreed with me so we went along with our family. After some outdoor rides, we went to the indoor rides and my head felt heavy, I thought it was because of the change of surroundings, but that was not what it was. I was doing well controlling my body until the thrilling part of the ride we got onto started, I started losing consciousness but I was able to hear my sister shouting, trying to get me back to consciousness, "Maryam, can you hear me?", and proceeded to slap me several times. I felt and heard everything, but wasn't able to give her a reply, I was so scared I might fall out of my seat, but everything was just fine, by the end of the ride, I somehow managed to get off the ride without getting hurt, my mom was so worried, she took us straight to a restaurant near the ride and got me water first, I remember chugging it while she shouted at me, " If you were that tired you should've told me!", I laughed and told her "I'm fine, but I don't know what happened to my body." She asked if any part of my body hurt and I said, "My body is alright, but my head hurts a bit". We had an ok dinner and went back home afterwards.

I had so much fun that day with an odd experience to remember. I hope to visit the theme park with my family sometime soon.

“You’re kidding, right? I won’t let you choose general as your stream!” My mother gave me the death stare, as she was very opposed to the idea of letting me join the CAA.

“But mother, I never said I will be in general. I’ll simply choose Advanced CAA as my stream since we were given the chance to choose our own curriculum, that’s what that lady told me…” I said desperately as I tried my best to calm my mother’s nerves down.

“Fine, whatever, do as you please,” she said while still looking displeased and unsure.

The week had passed since I did my interview with one of the CAA’s leads and I was eagerly waiting for the academy to give me feedback. One day, as I was lazing around my room doing nothing, the sound of a notification echoed through the room and when I picked my phone up to check about its content, I got a message telling me that I got accepted into the CAA which made my heart beat faster as I was overjoyed.
