Kashika's Work

The important thing about me is that I am creative. I always try to create new ways to cook, craft, paint, and write things, in order for them to look unique. I am also a perfectionist. My features include light brown eyes, dark brown hair, and tan, sand-colored skin. My most distinguishing feature, however, is my hair. My hair is a mix between being curly and straight, thick and thin, and long and short. My hair is unique, just like me! Most people would say I am friendly, studious, and humble. I agree with these descriptions, but I would also say I am ambitious, artistic, and knowledgeable. It’s true that I am a sister, a daughter, a student, and a teacher. I am most appreciative of being a daughter whom my parents can be proud of. I have had many accomplishments, and I have also grown as a person, in my life. But the most important thing about me is that I am creative!

1) Photograph-Ed Sheeran: This song is from the album, X. As always, Ed never ceases to amaze. One of his best songs!♥ 2) Dear No One- Tori Kelly: This song is from the album, Unbreakable Smile. With her new hit song, Should've Been Us, people are getting to know about Tori even more. This is definitely one of her best songs!♥ 3) Hey There Delilah- Plain White T's: This song is a single. Made in 2005, Hey There Delilah is one of the older songs of the decade but is definitely one of my favorites, as I tend to like older songs. Out of all of these, this was the first song I discovered and has been my favorite since then. ♥ 4) One Last Dance- R5: This song is from the album, Louder. R5 is my favorite band, and is made up of Ross Lynch, Riker Lynch, Rydel Lynch, Rocky Lynch, and Ellington Ratliff. If you haven't listened to their songs, I suggest you do... they're awesome! Although they have released many songs, this one was the first song I discovered by them, ...

The book, Buddhism: Path To Nirvana by K. N. Upadhyaya, is a biographical nonfiction book about Prince Siddhartha Gautama who later came to be known as the Buddha. Siddhartha’s life was filled with many big events which influenced his life. One big event occurred when he went to the marketplace. His father had forbidden him from going there, because Siddhartha’s father had placed all of the sickly, dying, and crippled people there. He had done that so as not to distress the prince. Siddhartha’s horoscope was read when he was born, and it had said to keep him away from distress and sorrow, or else he will become a sanyasi , or ascetic. Despite it being a good thing, Siddhartha’s father did not want his son to become an ascetic. he wanted his son to become a great leader. But when Siddhartha broke his father’s rules and went to the marketplace, he was greatly affected by the sorrow. Never in his life had he seen crippled, sickly, or dying people. Feeling depressed, Siddhartha tried to f...

The New iPhone By: Kashika Bharol     The autumn had kicked in, and summer had ceased. Despite the drastic change in weather, Stacey never got tired of her grandma’s homemade popsicles. Everyday, Stacey would come home from George Washington Public School and lie down in her grandma’s lap as she read a book to her. After her illiterate grandma had finished listening to Stacey’s story, she would get up and make popsicles for Stacey and her to munch on. This was the only luxury the family of 2, in poverty, could have. One day, Stacey got home in a rage. She opened up the old, creaky wooden door and stomped in, slamming the door behind her.     Her grandma looked up from her knitting. “Why you so mad, child?”     Stacey sat down and stared at her grandma. Her grandma saw in Stacy's eyes that she was pleading for something. “Child, I could do the staring contest all day.”     Suddenly, Stac...

The Incan civilization was a mighty empire. Flourishing in the Andes mountains of South America, the Incan empire was the largest empire in the Americas before the Europeans’ arrival. Stretching from Colombia to Santiago, Chile, the Incan empire measured 800,000 square kilometers and consisted of more than 10 million people. The capital city was Cuzco, and there were four other provinces. The language was known as Quechua. The Incans had a government which was organized very similarly to the Roman empire. The tax system was called mita. The empire was connected and held together by roads and bridges. They built remarkable buildings using just stone and no other substance, unlike other civilizations. Some even stand today. They built vast storehouses for grain, and had everyone work on building structures at some point in their lives on the Incan soil. The Incans had a powerful army, and didn’t try to conquer people and lands. Instead, they tried to persuade the opposing people to join...

The Aztec empire was very strong. With more than 15 million people in the land, the Aztecs were bigger and richer than any other city in Spain. The capital, alone, consisted of 250,000 people. The Aztecs spoke a language called Nahuatl. They had trade and commerce, loved art (especially art and songs), and were very religious. Their god of the sun was Huitzilopochtli, and their god of the sky was Quetzalcoatl. They believed that since the gods sacrificed themselves to create the universe, it was important for them to sacrifice themselves. As a result, their sacrifices were made eighteen times a year. The most important emperor the Aztecs had was Montezuma. Montezuma had a dream which depicted new people coming to help the Aztecs prosper. However, the opposite of this happened. Spanish people came and conquered the Aztecs in  A. D. 1519, and renamed their capital Mexico City. There were many things the Spanish had which the Aztecs had never seen before, such as horses, wheeled vehi...

“Where’s the Love?” By Kashika Bharol     “Where’s the Love?” by The Black Eyed Peas, is a song with a strong message. The theme, or universal truth, of this song is: To hate is not the objective of living; we live to love. The title of this song basically sums up the theme. It’s asking a rhetorical question which makes us think of a place where there is no love, affection, or peacefulness, which is our world today. The countries and people are fighting amongst themselves and butchering each other in wars and other situations.     Throughout the song, the words love, killing, dying, and crying are repeated multiple times. This puts emphasis on the subject of the song, which is peace on earth. There was also a lot of symbolism in this song, especially in the music video. The video depicts various races of people who are often discriminated against, singing along to the song. This shows that they want peace and justice in the world. ...

    The Mayan Civilization was a great empire. It consisted of natives who lived in Mesoamerica, Guatemala, Southern Mexico, Central America, and in the Yucatan peninsula. They mostly ate corn, their number one food source, and meat. Thriving 1,000 years before the Aztecs, the Mayans’ 4,000 year-old settlements had a very rich culture. They spoke more than 30 different languages, and felt very in debt to their gods. As a result, they built many monuments and temples for them. They had pyramid-like temples which alligned with the sun, moon, and stars. The Mayans used the stars to tell stories of the god as well. However, hidden under these great deeds was something horrific which the Mayans thought was an honor. Sacrifice, or killing others to please the gods, was an action done eighteen times a year. Despite this sad truth, the Mayans were still very successful in creating a large and strong empire. They were great scientists and mathematicians too. The Mayans were...

     Celebrities are of great importance to us, and play a major role in shaping our lives. All around us, celebrities are everywhere. Many provide us with entertainment, while others are part of the government. Some are dictators, while many others are peacebringers. Despite their position, we have always been fascinated by them, and many people are even obsessed with these stars. Most people, preferably teenagers, are involved with the celebrities providing the public with entertainment. Take Collin Palmer, a high school sophomore, for example: “We teengagers are passionate -maybe even obsessed- about our favorite stars, but that doesn’t make it a big problem and it doesn’t mean we want to copy their bad behaviors.” he says. There are various celebrities in our society which act as a perfect example for many to follow. Liking famous people like these should help us to live a more beneficial life, proving that most celebrities positively impact us and our society...

(This is a twist in the story of Disney's Aladdin, written from the genie's perspective for a school project.) Written by: Kashika Bharol     A long time ago I was in a Chinese restaurant in Arabia eating my white rice. The waitress came up to me and gave me a fortune cookie.  I cracked the fortune cookie, which contained a note which was more like a message than a fortune. It said, "You will become a genie”. I regarded it as just a silly note. But when I got home and started to light the golden lamp my mother gave me for my birthday, Whoosh! I'm stuck in a lamp. So I practiced and practiced being a genie and granting wishes, waiting for someone to rub my lamp. Little did I know, that it would take hundreds of thousands of years.     So it was a regular day, just like any other, and then I heard a rumble. Much like the one my stomach makes when I'm hungry, but louder. Once the rumbling stopped, the footsteps started. Then those s...

Tip #1: Never try to change yourself. Your friends might start wearing designer clothing, breaking school rules, or even doing illegal stuff. NEVER change yourself to impress these people. Remember that a true friend would never want you to change yourself, and will like you for who you are and not what you wear. Tip #2: Always do your homework, please. If your teachers are very strict about homework and it counts for a lot of your grade like me, do it. It raises your GPA (if it counts for a lot of your grade), and it also impresses your teachers. Remember that teachers like students who are respectful, obedient, and do their homework. Tip #3: Always be ready. If the consequence for not bringing in your textbooks, homework, or even backpacks is detention, then that is a huge price to pay for irresponsibility. You don't want to waste your time for detention after school, or even at recess, right? Tip #4: Choose your friends wisely. This is ...

By: Kashika Bharol When the leaves of autumn were beginning to fall, With me, my parents went to the mall. We shopped at the stores, left and right, Until finally they found me a bike. It wasn't very big, It wasn't very small, It was the perfect size and I was going to ride it Once and for all. I was scared for this day, I knew it would come. Hands on the handles, feet on the pedals, I couldn't feel my toes, and my fingers were numb. But I pushed my right foot forward, Left foot back, Hands clenching the handles, This isn't so bad! And that was the day, I learned to ride a bike. Soon I figured out that it wasn't such a fright!

By: Kashika Bharol In the future, when it's time time to leave the nest, Will you act like the rest? Or will you fly  To new heights And achieve the things in the sky? Will you sit out back and wait for things to go your way? Or will you work hard day by day? Basically, what I'm saying is Are you going to be lazy or doing something? Where will you be  when it's time? I will be in a hospital Hope to be known as prodigal In a doctor's room Helping others escape the tomb. By saving their life, I will do a great deed And help the patient live with great ease. When it's time Time to leave the nest, A doctor is what I'd like to be, at best.

Hi, I know its a little late for this, but you could use this for someone's birthday or on Valentine's Day next year! :D 1) Hand-Made Bouquet: Go to your backyard and pick some flowers. Pick some long strands of grass, even. Just plants which look pretty together. Gather them in a bunch, and take colored printer paper or large tissue paper, and wrap it around the bunch of plants, creating a cone shape with the paper. Tie a ribbon around the bouquet and make a bow at the end of it. Even tie a note to the ribbon to make it extra-special and personalized. 2) Be Creative: Write a poem or a song, and include it in a handmade card. Very thoughtful and not storebought, which makes it even more special. 3) Make Chocolate: Make it from scratch, or simply buy melting chocolate from the store and melt it in the microwave/on the stove according to your specific chocolate's melting instructions. Buy a silicone mold from the store (available at Michaels and Safeway) and pour yo...

We did it! I have 3000+ pageviews! Here's the special post! Parental Involvement In Schools: Is It Really All That Good?     Parental involvement for the millennial generation has become a controversial topic. The parents, who cannot let their children go, have begun to micromanage their kids. They are hyper involved in the child’s school and education, and have begun to take over their child’s academic life by doing their kid’s homework and staying in the classroom to see what their child is learning. The parents are over anxious about their child’s safety as well, and have come to be very strict with their kids. I believe it is time we stand to take action against this overprotectiveness.     Parental engagement may be a good idea, however too much of it can cause harm. It causes students to become dependent on their parents. “As a child gets older, it is a real problem for a parent to work against their child’s independent thoug...
