A new experience for young readers
Hence, we have taken it upon ourselves to share inspiring, interesting and engaging stories despite the current circumstances.
A Personal Letter to Failure.
We have been friends for many years. We have known each other since forever, and we are at the point of our friendship where we can be honest with each other.

We don’t hang out; we don’t laugh at things together; we don’t share our secrets, our hopes and our fears. The only thing that ties us together is bitter memories.
I still remember the first time we

Lizzie Velasquez, who was �crowned� the world�s ugliest woman by the internet community, chose to respond differently. Velasquez is no stranger to bullying, as she experienced bullying first-hand since she was in kindergarten.
She was bullied, simply because she is different. Velasquez has zero body fat due to her condition where she is u
Is Deadpool A Good Role Model?
If you’re a comic book fan like I am, you would know that Deadpool is no angel because he is known for his vulgarity, violence and being an anti-hero. In fact, he mentions multiple times that he doesn’t like being called a superhero and he does anything as he pleases.
He may be a comic book character but he is not kid-friendly. Writer Fabian Nicieza and artist-writer Rob Liefeld created him as an antitoxin for the readers who were fed up of goody-goodies like Spider-Man, Thor and Captain Americ
The Skill Behind Pop Music
Growing up, I spent the majority of my time listening to famous pop tunes. I noticed the more I listened to them, the more I liked it. Something about it just kept me hooked on because somehow, it kept hitting on the right chords. Hence, I spent most of my days indulging in it and eventually, pop music became the soundtrack to my life. As I got older, I became intrigued in finding the geniuses behind these crafts. This led me to discover the genius that is Max Martin, the guy behind the works of
