My stories

  My name is Amulya Kuntamukkala and I’m a 5th grader at Barksdale Elementary in Plano, Texas. Ever since I learnt about nursery rhymes that my mom used to play for me, I was fascinated by the pleasant sound of music and Piano. I found a way to express myself and my feelings through music as I love to create my own music compositions. At times, I found myself singing in the shower and my parents proposed I should sharpen my skills and take voice lessons.  Classical songs are my favorites to play! Sometimes, I like to do a few tricks like playing a nursery rhyme with my hands on it backward or putting my head on the bench and my hands on the Piano which my teacher Ms.Jamie finds very amusing. Piano training has helped me in reading music proficiently. I am taking choir as an elective in middle school to help me read more complex music and improve my voice. The theory tests have made it easier to understand the world of Piano. I was thrilled to win first prize in the Reflections...

  Why even try if I can never be perfect? I sighed as I saw the girls laughing together. “You’re totally going to get the lead, Mia! You’re so pretty, smart, perfect, and talented!” All of her minions laughed in perfect unison. They were the most popular girls in school. I walked up beside Mia and began to pull out a pen. I signed my name on the auditions sheet, right under Mia’s. As soon as I started to put the cap back on my pen, I felt all eyes staring at me. “Why is Ava here?” One of Mia’s minions stared at me with a stupid face. “What makes you think YOU could get the part? You’re so awkward on stage, whereas I would be perfect for the part.” said Mia, smirking. You know what, I was done taking Mia’s crappy behavior, “Look, Mia. I may not have the perfect looks, the perfect life, the perfect grades–” She cut me off, “You’re right, you don’t!” Then she turned around with her posse, her beautiful black locks slapping me in the face, and she walked away. Her minions choked with...

Scene 1 - Jack’s walking back from school with his friend, Charlotte.  CHARLOTTE: Hi! Jack! How are you?   JACK: I’m good. What about you?   CHARLOTTE: I’m really sad.

 Looking back to different stories, I have realized that....it has been FOUR YEARS since the first post was posted on my blog. Wow! The most important thing is how my writing has changed and developed since then. This story isn't exactly what it normally is, but it means something to me and I want to share it. Hey everyone! Welcome back to STorytime for Kids! Today I’ll sharing my past in writing in ways like how i got started, my first story, and my progress up until today. As of date, I have been writing for five full years and it is interesting and fun to look back at te stories I have written. Enjoy! It started back in second grade when Covid began. Teachers started giving us assignments to do online. IT WAS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo BORING!! When my teacher made everyone pull up a Google Doc and write a short story. I decided to go all out. This is the first story I have written. Before this, I barely knew how to type and write. Once upon a time there were two blobs named Glob and...

  I am hopeful because humans can get out of any mess. There are scientists, innovators, engineers, doctors, and so many more careers who have dedicated their lives to advancing society. The world has thrown us into many problems which we have found solutions for and making progress toward the solutions. Take COVID-19 for example, people were too scared to even step out of the safety of their homes because they thought they would die. People wore masks, and gloves, and had globs and globs of hand sanitiser. Scientists, doctors, innovators, and doctors worked on vaccines and medicines for this disease. Now, if someone gets Covid? Whatever. Take some medicine, you’ll be fine in some time. This shows how people have moved on from the past. Another example is climate change, people are working toward stopping this act. Working on electric cars, and cutting down on burning fossil fuels. Technology is advancing and engineers are coming up with many ways to slow it down and stabilis...

  You need a glass of water, but you don’t want to get up. Well, say no more! You can have your OWN PERSONAL assistant that does EVERYTHING for you! Unfortunately, it comes with a cost; it’s your sister. I bet if you were to ask your sister if she would get you a glass of water, the response would be, “UGH! You want to do everything for you! The answer is NO!” Another problem for you in the typical sibling relationship. It is okay because you can fool you sister into doing something for you. PRECAUTIONS BE CAREFUL! You have to be careful on how you talk to your sibling otherwise you’re not going to get anything out of this. SMARTNESS LEVEL! You might want to go for the siblings that are young and don’t know too much. This will make the process easier. DO NOT BRIBE! You could end up promising too much, they might get angry at you, or this could end in disaster. STEPS First, come up with a game or trick you can show them. Examples could be like the infinite chocolate bar trick or tim...
