Among the Clouds: 45º58’35’’N, 7º39’30’’E Lighter than the air, Free from all, Breathless beneath the blue sky, Among the clouds. Deep inhale, Clothes flapping in the wind, The crunch of the snow, Beneath the boots. Gazing far, Into the land, Infused with noise, And countless thoughts. Taking time, The hum of the earth, Grounded but free, On the cap of the peak. Thoughts lingering like flies, And disappearing just as swiftly, No need to think, Among the clouds.  - Shruti 

Recently, the thought of climate change has been bugging me. Climate change is real, and we don't take care of our environment because the future of the human race is affected. Melting ice caps, ocean acidification, pollution, it all sounds intimidating. How can we save the earth? Luckily, we are not at the point where we are too late to help. To help the Earth decrease or stop climate change: 1. Plant a tree. Trees absorb the carbon dioxide we release that causes global warming. 2. Take a walk or ride a bike instead of using a car. Save the world from car emissions! 3. Try using less electricity. That too, impacts the earth. Help the world! If everyone does these three steps, we can put an end to climate change. - Shruti Picture Links:  https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&ved=0ahUKEwjFu9qQwLnUAhWMFj4KHQ4HBuUQjxwIAw&url=https%3A%2F%2Fpowertime.co.za%2Fonline%2Fsavings-tips-lightin...

This will be my last blog post for a while, but I might post randomly over the summer. For my last assignment of middle school, I have to write about what I will remember about middle school five years from now. There are so many things that I will remember and cherish from the middle school, but these are the top four, not in any specific order. 1.  Camp Kieve In 6th Grade our whole grade went to camp Kieve for four days. Middle school was new for us, so the camp eased our transition. Everyone bonded together and we all had so much fun!                                                                                                                             ...

Hi! Today I used a toilet paper roll to create a cute lantern. It was really simple, and it took about 10 minutes. Materials: - paint - candle - toilet paper roll - paintbrush 1. Cut slits into one side of the roll.   2. Paint beginning from the bottom to the top (the frills). I used sunset colors because I thought it would fit with the candle. 3. Open up the frills and place a candle in the toilet paper roll. - Shruti
