So, I look gorgeous to have mirrors over me, but the thing is that I can't see my beauty. Only you can see yourself. Secondly, you selfish humans put those disgusting balls in my body, those stinky naphthalene balls. To some of my friends, they are fragrant, but they are so awful to me!
To finish off, some ridiculous people keep dirty clothes in me! Like, does anybody even understand that I like being clean!

Reflection on the chapter Be the Change from the book Is Your Child Ready to Face the World? by Dr Anupam Sibal.
"We must remind ourselves that one child, teacher, text, and pen can change the world when in doubt. By being the change, we can make this world a better place". - Arav Agarwal, Grade: 5C, Billabong High International School, Thane
It was my first day at formal school; I was nervous because I didn’t have
any old friends. As I entered my school, it was quite nice. After that, I
sat at my desk. When I opened my bag, I noticed that I had left my pencil box at
home. I felt like crying. Suddenly I heard a whispering sound from somewhere. I looked
back and saw a boy who smiled and offered me a pencil. I was thrilled and
thankful.
The next day in the dance class I learnt that he didn’t know the dance, so I explained to him some dance steps. That smiling and caring boy, Vihaan, gradually became
my best friend. It has been three years now, and we are still perfect friends; we support and encourage each other. I love to be with him. It is rightly said
that a friend is one with whom “We laugh a little harder, cry a little less, and
smile a lot more”.
