A Trip To Taiwan
By Vijeth Mudalegundi
From the moment I got off the plane, I knew that the months of preparation paid off. For months, I had undergone a rigorous selection process involving interviews, essays, and applications. After being selected into the program even more stress was added by the packing and preparation, but all of that stress washed away after stepping on land in Taiwan. Most people would say it was because I was so tired and just wanted to be on land again, however this felt a little more exciting than just that. Taiwan, from the beginning, offered much to explore and visit. It offered all landscapes one could think of, including: mountains, beaches, hills, valleys, plains, and cities. Everything one could think of in an island that is the size of New Jersey.

India’s Independence Day
By: Aarthi N. Grade 5, Birmingham, AL ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Republished from August 2009
The Independence Day for any country is one of the most important holidays for that country, and India’s is no exception.
India’s Independence Day is on August 15, 1947. India gained its independence from the British. The British had ruled over India for over 200 years. Mahatma Gandhi is one of India’s most famous freedom fighters, if not the most important one.
On August 15, in schools and colleges all over India, no academic work is done. People only go to offices to hoist the Indian Flag. All government offices are closed. Shops are strictly told to pull down their shutters.

The Last Sari - A Story
By Smriti Krishnan
High School Junior, Birmingham, AL
Lakshmi drew the end of her sari around her shoulders and shivered slightly. The Hyderabad Express had barely left the station, and already she was cold. She remembered, with a wry smile, that her daughter emphasized the importance of staying cool at the height of summer, so she had reserved Lakshmi a seat in the AC compartment. In the seat across sat a young family of three. Lakshmi inspected them casually, and came to the conclusion that they were a family from the U.S. It was mid-June after all; the child looked old enough to go to at least first standard. It was summer vacation there; she knew, from her previous visits.

Ramanujan – The Great Indian Mathematician
By Aarthi N. Grade 6, Birmingham, AL Numbers and great mathemagicians have always fascinated me. Srinivasa Ramanujan, perhaps the greatest mathemagician of the 20th century, was born in Erode, a small village, which is around 400 km southwest of Madras, in 1887. By the time he was ten, he was in high school. When his eleventh birthday arrived, he was immersed in advanced trigonometry.
