Interesting stories

Hi, everyone!

I was supposed to have an Earth Science test today, but it got postponed. This is because there are juniors in my science class, and they are going to our local theater to see a play about the Holocaust.

The interesting thing is, most of my science teacher's family is from Europe, and her mother is Dutch. She survived the Holocaust, and once got in trouble for running around in the beach.

The even more interesting thing is, the actress who plays the main character in this play lived right nextdoor to Anne Frank. I couldn't believe it when I found out that the person who lived right nextdoor to Anne Frank is still alive.

My science teacher also had a landlord in college who was German. He doubted the Holocaust would ever happen. Also, my science teacher told me that her mother has such a thick accent that people often mistake her for being German.

The Holocaust was a terrible event that took the lives of many people. We will never know if an event like the Holocaust will ever happen again.

My science teacher also had the pleasure of meeting Elie Wiesel, who wrote a book called, "Night." Has anyone read this book? Elie survived the Holocaust, and let some stars on his arm let others know that he survived. It was interesting to know that my science teacher had met him.

When my science teacher was finished with her lecture, I thought to myself, "It's a wonder why she didn't teach history." I had a dream about something like that a few weeks ago.

I had dreamed that my current English teacher had left my high school (that's Mr. L., if you remember.) My music teacher in 10th grade had replaced him at that time. We shall call him Mr. S. The original English teacher who had taught the 12th grade English elective in my school had taken over as music teacher (his name is Mr. O., if you remember.) Since he is a local musician, I thought it would have been great if he would have taken over as music teacher, but I don't think it will really happen.

So, I learned a valuable lesson today. I learned to be thankful that I am an American, and I am a happy person in a safe place.

I plan on studying for my Earth Science test tomorrow. The test will be held on Friday.

As a college English professor who plays piano, loves music, and can't imagine how one would teach literature without knowing and teaching history, I greatly appreciate both your story and your dream. Sounds like you have some great teachers.

I certainly do. I have been very lucky.

Everyone, I just thought I would let you know that for me, the science test has been postponed. Please do not expect me to get online until later in the afternoon on Wednesday because I am staying after school on Wednesday to get extra help in science. This week, I will be tutored for science, and then I will have all the material for my test. Eventually, I will take the test the following day, next Thursday. It will all come down to science in the end, and I really want to pass so that I can graduate!

That reminds me...

Three years ago, I saw this presentation by a Jewish man who survived the Holocaust. He talked about the unspeakable things the Nazis did to him and his family. He became blind from the punishments he received in the camps.

Years before, I remember seeing the the Holocaust museum in Washington DC and wondering how people could believe that it never happened.

My goodness! You are an interesting person, Fahreeq.

I'm glad you like the book, Namiko.
