"I am not strong because I can force others to do what I wish. . . , but because I can allow them to do what they wish."—James P. Carse   
  When Mary came to the playground and found everybody else busy, she stood by the side and watched. Mary is a popular student in the sixth grade known for her bullying practices. Everybody feared her and at this time, we expected her to act violently. However, she just stood by and watched the game. With time, she seemed to be enjoying it and even began cheering. After the game, everybody wanted to be in her company. This was unlike in the past when she was greatly feared and everybody took all measures to avoid her. Indeed, this was a renewed popularity.

Last Saturday, my younger brother took my father’s car and together with his friends, decided to drive around the neighborhood. He had always known my father to be a polite gentleman and for this reason, he did not bother to ask for permission to use his car. Nobody was at home at that time. Hardly had they driven for thirty minutes than they had a terrible accident. According to the police reports, this was caused by over speeding. My father was very furious. I had never seen him gnash his teeth before. Perhaps this was because we had never done a terrible mistake such as this. He was infuriated to the point of suggesting to the police that my brother be charged for this offence.
"All grown-ups were once children, though few of them remember it."—Antoine de Saint Exupery

I had always nagged her to demonstrate to me previously. Although she was very tired, she still smiled at me and said “come over sweetheart, we need to make the cake. You know, my mother also taught me how to bake one on my sixth birthday.” I now understood why she still had to make the cake, despite of her exhaustion. It turned out to be the richest and most delicious birthday cake.
