Desert Sand
By Debra Ayis, 20, Nigeria My wrap unfurls around leg and feet As I trampled through the sand Of this merciless desert in Kerith Brook A sand storm is coming from afar Particles whirl around excitedly Wickedly prickling, stinging my skin The wind whistles in my ear Singing a song of gloom Air and sand [...]
Going Unnoticed
By Alan Humphrey, UK I was never one of the ‘cool’ kids at school. To be honest, I never really wanted to be! I was doing far better academically than I could ever imagine achieving socially. Yes, that’s right – I was a geek. A nerd. A smarty-pants. Or whatever else you might want to [...]

8 Things You Should Know About Francis Schaeffer
By Sean Tong, UK Two years ago I set off one Sunday from my new home in York, England. I remember it well as I was being slashed furiously by wind and rain as it cut at my ineptitude to buy a new umbrella. Rain-soaked and dripping like a drowned rat, I walked in through [...]

“I’m hungry!”
By Qi Qi Kwang, 18, Singapore Remember when you were young, and you just had to say “I’m hungry” to have food served to you? Embarrassingly, the affluence of Singapore has bred laziness among many young people. Having domestic helpers in homes to oversee the day-to-day processes of cooking and cleaning is now a norm. [...]

Graduating to Become a Slave
By Chaz Oswald, 22, USA During my senior year in high school, college was constantly on my mind. While I was eager to start a new chapter in life, like many seniors, I felt the stress of decision-making. I understood that the schools I applied for and later attend would influence my future. One key [...]

Piano
By Priscila Stevanni, Indonesia When I was younger, my piano teacher used to say, “No matter how little time you have, say hello to your piano everyday.” Of course, I hardly paid attention to her advice and was often lazy to do it. Now, I know better. During the times that I actually practiced, I [...]
Burn After Reading
By Tracy Phua, 23, Singapore “Continue reading if you’ve told Mrs Lee that I cheated in the Math test . . .” I stared at this opening sentence in a hand-written letter from a classmate in great bewilderment. What on earth have I done? At that time, I was a 13-year-old who had just enrolled [...]
What Does The Lord Require Of You?
By Alan Humphrey, UK My name is Alan, but you may call me Marshmallow. At least, that’s what my dance partner used to call me—thankfully not because she wanted to skewer me with a sharp stick and toast me over a camp-fire (my dancing wasn’t quite that bad), but rather because she felt that I [...]
Choices, Choices and, Yes, More Choices!
By Sean Tong, UK Pizza or chips? Neighbors or Home and Away? The Beatles or The Rolling Stones? We live in an ever-growing world of choices. We can take eons of time scrolling through our iPods to decide which song to play, flick through endless satellite TV channels, and can choose from a vast array [...]
