The Sunlight

    Light is an important element that many people don’t notice. Anything beautiful needs light in order to shine or to reflect. Light can be used to catch people’s attention. I was in the Beinecki and when I looked around the  walls I saw the light from the sun outside. Beautiful lightning danced around the walls. The walls are made of diamond shapes ….describe rather than tell us you like them.




     When I looked to the center I saw plenty of books. Old  books. The most interesting books to read from all the good writers around the world. All the books were concentrated in the middle of the Beinecki.  I wanted to touch them but “DO NOT TOUCH” . The books were surrounded by a beautiful clear glass so you can’t get near them unless you have permission. But I do not.




    When I looked behind me I saw brown comfortable sofas and a little white table next to each sofa. I said to myself “ Yess! I can’t leave this beautiful building without sitting on those beautiful sofas” and yes they were so comfortable I could just sit there all day long because I found myself in a peaceful place and my eyes couldn’t stop looking at those strangely lit walls.



     From where I was sitting I saw a beautiful glass box, I wanted to see what was inside. So I stood up to look, OMG it was an original copy of “The Gutenberg Bible” from 1450s, printed by Johann Gutenberg - the book that I have heard my dad speaking of so many times. I wanted to flip through its pages but “No do not touch”. Okay not a big deal.

     Then I began to notice the temperature of the room. It wasn’t hot and it wasn’t cold. It wasn’t normal.  I didn’t know what the air around me felt like, until I stepped out of the Beinecki.

He Made It

  Congratulations to the class of 2023! Today is your day, you maaade it!! This is the day that you were all waiting for…..the day that we were all dreaming about. You will all soon face challenges you had never expected. But there is something that we must never forget in our lives, the only person  you should try to be is the person better than you were yesterday.     I will never stop digging into my past, I was in my room reading my favorite book of all the time “ Unforgettable Night” written by Aime. I suddenly heard a voice calling my name aloud. It was my little brother Stiven I hated it when he called me by name, I always tell him to call me “kaka” which means big brother in Swahili.   I went downstairs and saw my dad with a young boy of my age. He introduced himself as Jack, to me it sounded like “Paka”,  which means “cat” . Dad said Jack was my cousin and he was coing to live with us for a few days. Jack’s father di...

The Tanganyika Lake

      We all have moments in our lives that we will never forget, the moment that makes us...us. I am that person who always wants to learn new things. When I want to know about something I do not wait until someone shows or teaches me. And all that is because of him. He told me “don't ever wait until they show you, do it first then ask for help if needed”        When I was twelve  years old, I lived with my grandparents because they were living by themselves so they asked my parents if I could stay with them. I loved it, because they’d give me anything I wanted, and all they wanted was for me to feel loved by them.      As the only child living with them I had to do almost nothing myself. I didn’t have to clean my own room, clothes, shoes or to make my own bed. They even fed me. I loved them very  much. I never wanted to go home.     But my mother wanted to live closer to her parents so my family decided to mov...
