The Importance of Goals

Setting clear goals provides direction and purpose in life. Without objectives, effort can become scattered and ineffective. My current goals include improving my academic performance and learning a new skill. These aims motivate me to manage my time effectively and persist through challenges. The process of working towards a goal builds discipline and resilience. The sense of accomplishment upon achieving a goal boosts self-esteem and propels you toward the next challenge. Goals are the roadmap to turning aspirations into reality.

Stargazing in the Sahara Desert

Away from city lights, the night sky is a blanket of stars. The Milky Way stretches like a glowing river, and I lie on the sand, pointing out constellations. A shooting star streaks by, and I make a wish. The desert air is cool, and I hear the distant howl of a fox. This isn’t just looking up—it’s feeling small but happy, part of something bigger than myself.​

The Comfort of a Family Recipe

My mom’s tomato soup isn’t just a dish—it’s a hug in a bowl. Every time I’m sick or feeling down, she pulls out the same chipped ceramic pot, the one that’s been in our family for three generations. She chops ripe tomatoes, simmers them with garlic and a pinch of sugar, then blends them until the soup is smooth and creamy. The smell fills the house, wrapping around me like a warm blanket, and suddenly I’m a kid again, sitting at the kitchen table with a crusty slice of bread. Mom always adds a sprinkle of basil from her windowsill garden, a tiny touch that makes the soup taste like home. Last month, I tried making it myself, following her handwritten recipe (stained with years of use). It wasn’t perfect—too much salt, not enough garlic—but when I served it to her, she smiled and said, “Tastes just like mine used to.” That’s the magic of family recipes: they’re not just about food. They’re about passing down love, memories, and a little piece of home, one spoonful at a time.

My Best Friend

Lily is my best friend. We met in the first grade, and we’ve been close ever since. She has big eyes and a smile that always makes me happy. Lily is kind and helpful—when I forgot my pencil case last month, she lent me her pens. We share the same hobbies: we both like drawing and playing badminton. Every Saturday, we go to the park to play badminton. We also tell each other our secrets; she always listens to me carefully. When I’m in trouble, she helps me find solutions. Having a best friend like Lily makes my life more fun. I hope our friendship will last forever.​
