Hero of the Day

This story happened three days ago. At that moment I was hanging out with my friends in shopping malls. We were about to go to the cinema, when suddenly I heard a child was crying.

I looked around me but I saw no one. When I walked for about five steps, I looked to the left and I saw a little girl was standing in front of the escalator. I tried to approached her and asked her why she was crying. She said nothing but staring downstairs. I stood up and looked downstairs, it was her mother trying so hard running on an escalator to go upstairs to get the little girl. But it was useless effort because she didn’t realize that she was actually running upstairs on an escalator which went downstairs. I believed it was because she was so nervous at the moment and the only thing she was thinking was to get to her little girl.

I made a quick decision right away. I hold the hand of the girl gently and I said ‘come on, come with me, I will take you to your mom’. She said nothing but she opened up her arm to me so that I can hug her and carry her on my chest. I said from upstairs to her mom ‘don’t worry, I’ll get her to you’, and then I stepped on the escalators and walked down as fast as I can and give the little girl to her moher. Her mother was so happy that she didn’t say anything but smile to me. I smile to her too and said,’everything is okay now’.

Last week my school held a creativity competition to commemorate our school anniversary. All the students could participate in the event. The participants were free to choose their topics or products.

I was interested to join the competition. I like gardening, so I decided to make a vertical garden using unused mineral bottles. I recorded my activities in making the garden. I collected the bottles, then I cut one side of the bottles as a place to grow the seeds. Then, I placed the soil and seeds in the bottles. I hanged them on the wall and watered them everyday. After several days, the sprouts emerged.
