Potato Head story

  Potato Head was going back home after one more boring day after school. He said goodbye to Mr. Blue Jeans and started to walk on his way back home. After walking a couple blocks, he saw a guy riding something different, made of wood and with some wheels. He liked that, even being an unusual thing. And that guy whose name is Mr. Purple Leaves showed him and explained him that it was a skateboard. So after that Mr. Purple Leaves invited Potato Head to try skateboarding some other day. Potato head was a bit confused. He didn't know Mr. Purple Leaves, and skateboarding wasn't a common thing to do. But Mr. Purple Leaves convinced him to try it out later.
 After getting home, Potato Head called Mr. Blue Jeans to tell him about Mr. Purple Leaves and his plans on skateboarding. Mr Blue Jeans was jealous about it, and told Potato Head that it wasn't a good idea. Potato Head was already sure about what he wanted to do, and he didn't cared about Mr. Blue Jeans opinion. It was the first time that Potato Head was doing what he really wanted to do.
 So the next day Potato Head left school, that he didn't really like, all the people there were into gossiping and talking behind people`s back.  He went to a nice neighborhood to meet Mr. Purple Leaves and try skateboarding. So when he got there he started trying it out. At some point a girl showed up with a camera and asked them both to take some pictures of what they were doing. That girl was Banana Girl, a photographer and arts lover. After taking a couple pictures they got to talk to her. They talked for a long time and after that day they were all friends.
 The next day he went to school with a skateboard and people started looking at him as if he were a strange. Mr. Blue Jeans told everybody about Potato Head`s new friends. He was doing something different from what all the other people at his school usually do. Potato Head felt bad because of all that people talking about him. He was just being himself but people didn't like that.
 Potato Head was still hanging out with Mr. Purple Leaves and Banana Girl. He was learning new things and doing just what he wanted to do. Mr. Purple Leaves introduced him to rock music and he liked it much more then Justin Bieber tunes that he used to listen with his classmates.
 He was living happier days and even his parents noticed that. His mom and dad both liked to know that he was listen to some good rock songs and practicing skateboard which is an outdoor activity.
 The only issue was that his old friends at school were making fun of him now.
 But after some time he learned to stop paying attention to others opinion and just keep being the one he wanted to be. After learning to deal with that, his old friends stopped making fun of him and even tried skating and listening to rock music.

Eddie's Journey

Chapter One

Once, there was a water drop - his name was Eddie - who was floating in the sea. On a beautiful day, I guess it was sometime in May, he met a small fish which was so gorgeous that Eddie was just tongue-tied. The abundance of colours created a cheerfulness that vastly fascinated everyone in the near environment. Eddie, already feeling pretty nervous,couldn’t afford to get into a conversation with a stranger and thus began bouncing around hectically.

But the fish didn’t feel hindered because of Eddie’s behaviour and just swam across the next sea plant to introduce itself to Eddie. “Hey, I’m Shawn!,” he said, “how ‘r things going?”... Eddie, still being taken by surprise and having a touch of anxiety, didn’t really know that to answer but squeezed out a little “Well, couldn’t be better...” and went on swimming nervously around. “Doesn’t really seem so,” responded the fish, “you seem a little uptight...” - “I, ehm” - “... and maybe a little overexcited?” - “Well... ehm...,” stuttered Eddie, not really knowing what to say. “I’m going on a journey...” - “What kind of journey?” asked the fish, “I see you guys travelling in the sea all day long, so that’s why I’m asking”. Eddie couldn’t use this conversation by no means but now he had to speak out what depressed him the last couple of weeks. In fact, he felt a little bit happy, now to have this opportunity and share his inner fears. “Frankly speaking, I’m going on a long journey - I’ll leave the sea, and I can’t really  state I’m happy to..” - “Leave the sea..?” interrupted the fish, “nobody can leave the sea as long as you don’t have wings” - “that’s not right” said Eddie with a hint of a sigh in his voice - “Come on..,” said the fish grinning, “I assure you it is, I just learned that in physics. It’s because of gravitation - everything that has  mass is pulled down to the earth.” Eddie started laughing and he said to the fish: ”Then this is gonna be a big day for you.” He rounded off his sentence with a big smile and continued: “If something pretty energized hits me, it can lift me to very high altitudes”. “Makes sense”, admitted the fish. “Was nice meeting you,” said Eddie, totally interrupting the flow of conversation. “Wait what?”, said the fish, totally surprised by the sudden ending of their talk. “Well, I gotta go now” said Eddie promptly, “I would like to stay but I couldn’t choose the time. They don’t have any schedules whatsoever - it’s absolutely randomized.” - “Ah, I see. Will you come back?” asked the fish, apparently satisfied with the explanation Eddie gave him before. “I really don’t know,” said Eddie and swam around the fish. He usually did that because he was obviously too small for a proper hug. “See you!” said Eddie and was suddenly hit by a beam of light. He shot upwards and out of the water like a bullet blurring with the air so the fish couldn’t see him anymore. 

He didn't feel jealous but excited. And there was that inner feeling of loneliness; they just became friends and were separated unexpectedly - that was what made him sad.

Louise the King

Long time ago in a very large savana, there was a lion who owned all the land. His name was Louise, and he thought he was the strongest lion in the world. One day, Louise came to Windy, a wise turtle that he always asks before doing something.

Louise said "I want to have all the lands in Africa." to her.

Windy said " That is not the right thing to do. And you are going to put the animals in danger."

He said " Do you think I am not strong enough  to do this?"

Ignoring what she told him, he started to prepare for the war. He took many animals and went to the other savana. Many animals died on the way to the war because of the lack of water. Louise didn't care about what had happened, and continued their way. Once they got to the area they wanted to attack, all animals living there, knowing that Louise wanted their land, already prepared for the war completely. Tired from the long trip, and with the lost of many animals, Louise lost the war, got injured, and ran away from the battle field.

With shame and sadness, he went back to his land, he came to windy and he was very upset.

Windy said " You lost the war, right? "

With full of guilt, he replied " Yes"

" You should have satisfied with what you had at that time and listened to other's advice." Windy said.

Patty & Antoine's story

One day, after a rainy morning, Elmo and his friend Octopus were playing in the mud.

After playing for a while, Elmo and Octopus were very dirty. When all of a sudden a Princess passed by them. Elmo fell in love at first sight. But the Princess didn't pay attention to him because he was so dirty.

Elmo knew there was a party at the castle that night so the Princess would be there. He rushed home and cleaned himself as much as he could : from toothpaste to nail polish. After all that, he was looking perfect.

Before going to the party, Elmo asked his friend Octopus -who was also a magician- to send the Princess a magical letter that would turn into a bouquet of roses.

When Elmo arrived, the Princess had already received the letter. They danced together the whole night and at midnight they finally kissed. After that night, they lived happily ever after and had lots of children.

Never Lose Hope

When I saw this video at the first time in high school, I cried so much because it made me think that nothing is impossible if we are determined to reach our desires.


" I'm bored.. I don't want to do it... I can't stand this anymore "

Who did not think this way once in his life or even heard someone saying it? Sometimes life sucks and we become hopeless. We close our eyes for any glimmer of hope. Suddenly a strong light comes and force us to look at it, rethink, and bring us back to hope, but what if this light never showed up. We will then have to make it by ourselves to lift ourselves out from the dark shadow we live in.

The most inspiring movie in my life.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bNt8hyxW70o

This movie inspired me a lot.
The story is about deaf baseball players. Kim who is the professional baseball player is sent to high-school in the countryside to direct for deaf players. At first, his purpose is spending time and going back to the team which is he played before, so he didn't care about the deaf players and didn't teach anything. Even though he didn't care for them, the players practice really hard. It makes him feel shame and then he saw their possibility. After that he start to coach the players and train very strongly. Because of his help, they get hope that they could play at high-school league.

This movie shows that disability is not problem, even they can do everything they want. It changed my steriotype of disable people. I recognized that they can do if they make up their mind. From wathing that movie, I donated some money to support disable people to get hope.
