A Journey to the Jungle
15-year-old Shyam ventures into the South African jungle in search of a legendary dinosaur, only to face daunting obstacles that test his courage and resolve.
Shyam had always been curious about the mysteries of the South African jungle. This summer, he decided to embark on an adventure like no other. He heard tales of a dinosaur that roamed the dense forests. " - Are you sure about this?" his friend asked, concerned. " - I have to see it for myself," Shyam replied, determined. His heart raced with excitement and fear.
As Shyam ventured deeper into the jungle, he realized how easy it was to get lost. " - This place is massive," he whispered to himself. Suddenly, he stumbled upon a massive footprint. " - It has to be a dinosaur," he gasped. But then, he noticed his compass was missing. His first challenge was finding his way without it.
Shyam's journey was fraught with obstacles. The thick vines seemed to grab at his feet, tripping him. " - I can't give up," he muttered, as he stood up again. The jungle's dense foliage made it hard to see where he was going. And then, he heard the roar of a waterfall, drowning out all other sounds. " - How do I get around this?" he wondered, pausing to think.
With the roar of the waterfall behind him, Shyam pushed forward. But then, he found himself face-to-face with a steep cliff. " - What now?" he exclaimed, frustrated. He tried to find a way around but the jungle seemed to close in on him. His energy was waning, and doubt crept in. " - Maybe this was a mistake," he thought, sitting down to rest.
Lost and tired, Shyam felt the weight of his journey. " - I don't know if I can do this," he admitted to himself. The jungle was vast and unyielding. " - Maybe I should turn back," he considered, feeling defeated. The dinosaur seemed like an impossible dream now. He sat there, contemplating his next move.
Just as Shyam was about to give up, he remembered the stories his grandfather told him. " - Courage isn't about not being afraid," his grandfather's voice echoed in his mind. " - It's about facing your fears." This gave Shyam a new sense of determination. " - I can do this," he resolved, standing up. He realized he needed to trust his instincts.
With renewed courage, Shyam navigated the jungle with confidence. He listened to the sounds of nature, letting them guide him. " - This way," he said, following the call of a distant bird. The obstacles seemed less daunting now. His heart was set on finding the dinosaur. " - I'm not giving up," he declared, pressing on.
Hours passed, and Shyam's persistence paid off. He reached a clearing and found the legendary dinosaur grazing peacefully. " - It's real," he whispered, awe-struck. The massive creature looked at him with gentle eyes. " - Thank you for guiding me," Shyam thought, his heart full of gratitude. His journey was complete.
Shyam couldn't believe his eyes as he watched the dinosaur. " - This is incredible," he said, his voice filled with wonder. The dinosaur seemed to sense his presence but continued to graze. Shyam knew he had found something special. " - I did it," he thought, feeling proud of his courage. His adventure had been worth every challenge.
As the sun began to set, Shyam knew it was time to head back. " - I have stories to tell," he said with a smile. He retraced his steps, the jungle now feeling like an old friend. His heart was light, filled with a sense of accomplishment. " - Courage led me here," he thought, grateful for the journey. The jungle had changed him forever.

A christmas Story
It was Christmas Eve, and in a small, bustling town, there was a group of Grade 10s who were anything but ordinary. They were vibrant, brilliant, and a little bit crazy—each one a star in their own way, shining so bright that it was impossible not to be drawn to their energy. These students had spent the year working hard, laughing together, and dreaming big. And even when things got tough, their determination kept them going.As Christmas approached, their teacher, known for her warm heart and infectious smile, wanted to leave them with something special. Something to remind them of how amazing they were—not just as students, but as people. She had seen them struggle, grow, and succeed in ways they might not even realize yet, and she wanted them to know just how proud she was.One snowy afternoon, as the class gathered for their final session before the holidays, she handed out little cards, each with a story and a surprise."These aren't just any cards," she said with a twinkle in her eye. "They’re a gift from me to you. A little reminder of who you are and where you're going."The students opened their cards, each one containing a small, bright pencil with an inspiring quote written on it. "Your determination can take you anywhere," the quote said. And tucked inside the card was also a small figurine—a cowboy duck, her favorite little reminder of happiness, resilience, and courage."You might think this is just a silly little duck," she continued with a chuckle, "but it’s more than that. Every time you look at it, I want you to remember that you have everything it takes to chase your dreams. And if things ever get tough, just think of this duck—saddle up, keep moving forward, and never forget that you are amazing."The students laughed and smiled, holding their cards and pencils close, but also feeling the warmth of something deeper. They knew that their teacher wasn’t just giving them a Christmas gift. She was giving them something more important—a piece of herself, a piece of the belief she had in them, and a reminder that kindness and determination could guide them through anything life threw their way."I’ll miss you all so much," she said, her voice softening. "But wherever you go, whatever you do, know that you are capable of reaching incredible places. You are brilliant, you are kind, and you are unstoppable."As the class filled with laughter and chatter, the cowboy duck sat proudly on each desk, a tiny but mighty reminder of how far these students could go. And for each one, the Christmas spirit felt just a little bit brighter.So, to my wonderful Grade 10s—this little gift is for you. Keep that spark alive, stay determined, and always remember that kindness will guide you wherever you need to go. You've got this, and I’m so proud of each and every one of you. You will make this world a brighter, happier place just by being you.Merry Christmas
