Through writing, I can explore different things which I am not really good at, I can also learn different new things through writing. I cannot imagine a world without books and authors, although our world nowadays are getting more high tech, I still enjoy the company of books, I am really a book worm, I read a lot of books in just short days. Some of my book collections include Stephenie Meyer's world-breaking phenomenon: the TWILIGHT SAGA, J.K Rowling's magical world HARRY POTTER SERIES, Nicholas Sparks' different heartbreaking books and many more. Andrea Jeanne G. Abundo The pressure of examinations Most kids would feel nervous, because of only one reason. One,they are nervous that they might get a bad score or might even fail.

And so, students try to study very hard and after a while, they get stressed. Otherwise, the students procrastinate and do nothing until minutes before going to bed. I recommend students to study relaxed yet focused. Sharon Utomo & Leila Iglesias How Music Touches Lives Do you want to become a musician? If you ask me, I would love to!
