The Time Machine

-

 Charlotte is a beautiful, smart girl. Always has her nose deep into a history book. The book teleported her to many places. At the signing of “The Declaration of Independence on July 2nd, 1776” or maybe at the “American Revolution”, with the prehistoric time with dinosaurs, with Orville and Wilbur Wright. So many places that just fit in one book!


It was early morning, and Charlotte was at the wishing well with her favorite history book. She took a shiny penny and whispered, “I wish I could get a time machine and I get to travel back in time to see these places.”


Then she dropped the coin and watched it sink in the water until it wasn’t in eyesight anymore. A few weeks later after that moment, Charlotte was sitting at her desk, when white steam appeared out of thin air! A rusted car was sitting in her bedroom! To get a closer look, Charlotte dusted all the brown particles off, and there, it read: Time Machine. 


“Whoa, my wish came true! I’ve got an idea! I can test it on my old camera! I’ll make it take a video! I can set it back to a minute ago!” said an amazed Charlotte.


A little later, when all the tests were complete, Charlotte was bursting with excitement.


“It works!!!! I can travel anywhere!!” squealed Charlotte. She climbed inside. “Where to first? I know! To the Declaration of Independence!


Charlotte typed in letters on the keyboard in the machine.


July 2nd, 1776 “The Declaration of Independence”


Then with a sudden bang, the machine sped off! White light and dirt flying everywhere! After 10 minutes, the machine stopped and powered down.


“Mission complete,” it said.


Charlotte stepped out and walked into the building, or whatever it was. She heard overlapped voices and something scratching away. Then, she went into the room, but no one seemed to notice her! 


“Hello?” said Charlotte.


But no one answered. She looked at herself, she was invisible!


“Huh,” said an awed Charlotte. “EEEEEEEEEH!!!!!! HISTORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I need to take notes! Write everything down!!!”


After 15 minutes, the founding fathers took a break and departed.


5 YEARS LATER…


Charlotte was 14 years old now, but she now was busier, and the time machine wasn’t used as much as before. She had a little brother named Jack, who was a bit cheeky, but cute.


“Oooh! New inventions are around the corner!” said Charlotte. Jack, however, looked up and stopped playing with his truck.


“Noo! I want everything to be the same!!! No no no!!” yelled Jack.


“Stop crying, Jacky!” said Charlotte.


“No Jacky! I don’t want that nickname!” said Jack.


So that night, Jack snuck into Charlotte’s room, pulled the secret door, to go into the future and destroy all the new inventions. 


“Buttons, buttons, push them all!” Jack sang.


But he opened a portal and the whole time machine malfunctioned! WHOOSH!


“AAAAAAAH The machine is eating me!!!” he screamed.


“Jack! What are you doing?!” shouted Charlotte.


Then, she grabbed hold of Jack’s legs, but the time machine pulled her inside too..where did the 2 siblings go?

A Different Day

-
  On Saturday morning, Tom, Sasha, and their baby sister Olivia were getting ready to go to the beach for a party with their parents. While Sasha did her hair and Olivia babbled in her crib, Tom was helping his parents get everything in the car. He brought the blue cooler filled with sodas, popsicles, and chilled bottled water into their minivan. Then he ran back inside to help with the chairs. As Sasha finished her beautiful silky brown locks of hair, she helped her mother to pack. First, they tended to little Olivia’s bag. Olivia’s diaper bag took most of the space, but there was just enough space to squeeze in her baby lotion, sunscreen, bug spray, an extra onesie, and rubber bands. Tom’s bag was next. They filled it with his swimming trunks, lotion, sunscreen, bug spray, extra pair of clothes, and inflatable pool floats for Olivia and the other kids going to the beach. Sasha’s bag was much like Tom’s and Olivia’s, but she had the whole family’s towels inside because her bag was...

Scholarship Essay

  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...
