| Trust Differently
Sometimes in life there are some unbelievable occurrences that happen which can leave an indelible mark in our lives. At times it alters the course of our relationships and perceptions and can create this big difference in our relationship with others. It was a day unlike any other when a difference in trust unfolded which forever changed the dynamics of my relationship with my uncle. |
 | MAKING A DIFFERENCE
Even if my salary as a teacher is not encouraging, the excitement I see on the faces of my students and the praise I get from their parents as they see their children doing well in a subject they used to dislike is enough to motivate me to teach better and make a difference in their lives. |
| A taboo with her difference
During December when Christmas was fast approaching, we had a visitor, aunty Ngozi who just finished her second semester exam in her school and decided to head straight to our house to spend three to four days to unwind before travelling to her own village for Christmas. |
 | My choice of career path
Whatever choice you are making, you need to be optimistic about the outcome and I am confident that I will belong to the group of people that get jobs after acquiring degrees. I think my choice deserves respect just like I respect your choice. I think we can manage our differences properly please. |
Our third place winner is
A futile shot. I kept pestering my mom, threatening to squeeze into her travel bag with all amount of seriousness in my tone. At that time, I honestly would have hidden inside her travel bag if I was given the opportunity. But now that I think of it, I probably would have suffocated before we arrived at the airport.
Our second place winner is
The water boiled so hard that it looked like lava. In a volcano about to erupt, the coffee spilled all over the kitchen, until it reached the floor.
Our first place winner is
My brother and I traded looks, reflecting our shared excitement. We had constantly admired our father's intellect and were enthusiastic to observe him demonstrate his abilities on a grand stage. Little did we know that this occasion would be the catalyst for a rift that would test the limits of our familial ties.
Time is a concept. It’s a flimsy wisp of smoke on the breeze, but it’s also very substantial because it marks our time on earth and alters us physically and mentally.
This week we ask you to write a creative personal story that reads like fiction using words related to 'time’.
For this topic, there are several possible approaches. For example:
Tell us about it! And remember to integrate storytelling elements like characters, scene setting, dialogue and action to bring your story to life!
Have fun and good luck! We look forward to reading your stories.
