My Motto Trust Your Heart

Lightning

 At night I heard a loud noise. In the middle of the dark night,  scared half to death.  I heard it again.

 Outside I heard a crash  beyond my house there was a light.  I was wondering what it could be,  until I got out of bed.

 I ran outside to see,  but it was already gone.  I went back to sleep  still wondering what it was.

My Family By: Zaurayze

My family is the kind that is strict, but also kind. I’m the one who listens to my parents and is nice.I also help my parents when they need rest by taking care of my baby sister. I also play with my friends when I have a chance. My sister is the troublemaker and barely ever listens. She is very stubborn and is never happy. She still is my sister and is sometimes playful. Sometimes she will listen to me when I need something and get it. She helps me when I’m ill, sick, or injured.

Hania, my baby sister, is playful, happy, and makes me smile when she smiles. She listens to me, and if I talk in Urdu she can understand what I say. She can recognize me no matter what I’m wearing or even when I get a haircut. I love her now and always will.

My mom and dad are always busy, but always have time to play. I barely do anything with my mom, but when I do I always have a good time. My dad is always at work, but when he isn’t, he is playing soccer or cricket with me, so I always have fun no matter what! When it comes to school and tests, they are strict so I must always make an A+ on everything. Still, I love them no matter what.

I love my family and I know they love me, and I hope it will stay like that forever. My family never fights or gets too angry and neither do my friends. I hope this will never changes forever.

The Holocaust By:Zaurayze

Once there was a brave,strong, and couragous boy named Lael who made it through the holocaust.He was only 11 years old when it started. It all started one day when he came home from school and saw his parents crying on the front steps of their house. He asked them why they were crying but they just went inside and showed him. His Parents were selling their furniture. He asked his parents why. So his parents told him that they were Jews and that the Germans were making them move to a concentration camp. They also said that they were selling their furniture for food and clothing.

A few days later soldiers came in their house and told them if they didn't leave they were all going to be executed. So they left to a train station and were stuffed in a car. When they got out Lael saw three fences and huts behind the fences. The soldiers took their clothes and gave them striped pajamas. They also gave them a number which was tattooed to their skin.

One day he saw kids playing outside and went outside to ask if he could play. He asked them if they wanted to play football with him but all they did is look behind them at a soldier and run away. He asked the soldier why they were running away from him. When he got home he had a broken nose, a black eye and a broken leg. Ever since then he did everything the soldiers said.

During the winter he always saw people laying down in snow that was red and wondered how it happened. It had been at least a year since they moved here from Poland. It was scary being surrounded by soldiers who wanted to kill you especially at a young age like Lael. Every day Lael grew more and more hungrier,skinnier, and weaker. Some lucky Jews escaped but Lael wasn't as lucky. The only time he tried to escape he got caught and was beaten mercilessly.

When he went outside one day he saw a boy his age looking around. The boy came towards him and asked him if he wanted to play. As soon as the boy asked that Lael said yes. After they played football Lael asked the boy his name. The boy said his name was Aharon. After that they played together every day which gave Lael something to look forward to. One day Lael went outside to the place where Aharon usually waited for him, but he wasn't their. So Lael waited and waited and waited until he realized that Aharon wasn't coming. He came the next day and the next but Aharon never came. When he came home his parents took him to a place where jews were killed and saw Aharon with a rope around his neck.

After that he stayed in the hut hoping to be freed from Auschwitz. A month later he heard a loud boom when he was asleep. He went outside to see that the Russian army was fighting to free the jews!!! He was overjoyed to know that they were leaving. It was a fierce battle but in the end the Russians had won! As he left he saw his father had died during the battle. His mother saw his father later and broke into tears. She cried so much she went blind and was never the same again. After that his mother got tuberculosis and died when he was 18 years old.

Later he moved to America so he could have a good life. He got married, had kids, and told them the story of when he was a boy. Then his children told there children and his story was told again and again.

Where I’m From By: Zaurayze Rehman

I am from watching T.V, from playing soccer and playing football. I am from the candy store right by my house (Delicious, amazing it tasted so sweet) I am from the scorching summer, the best season whose days I spend swimming and diving until I lose my breath.

I’m from ice cream and contacts, from my first steps and racing I’m from the smartest and the dumbstruck, from it gets better and shut up. I’m from playing tag on the roof and having one annoying sister.

I’m from Australia and Alabama, warm cookies and cool coke. From stealing grapes from my neighbor to spraining my ankle and falling under my bed was a shoe box filled with old memories , a pile of pictures which have a special place in me.

I am from those pictures that I will never forget I am from those memories.
