John also tries to build one but every time he did, the sand slipped away with the waves ruining his castle. The kids who found him copying what they were doing started mocking him on his failure to build a perfect castle and challenge him to make one before they complete theirs. John did not lose his will, but his sandcastle kept getting carried away by the sea waves. At last, he builds it at some distance and protects it with rocks and bricks. This time his sandcastle was small as compared to the other kids. When they all were ready to put flags on their castles, a gust appeared and destroyed the huge sandcastle of the kids. However, John’s sandcastle remained unharmed and protected. MORAL OF ...

  What if we hadn't drifted apart - By Muqaddas Fatima https://muqadasfatima315.wixsite.com/website-1/post/what-if-we-hadn-t-drifted-apart Don’t we all wish that we hadn’t met that “one person” We wish we had the ability to un-meet someone or to erase all those memories from our mind and how a single thought about them can ruin your entire day. You could be passing by a soda shop you used to hang out at or maybe you overheard that song you once heard with them and all the feelings come rushing back to you, all the thoughts running through your mind … leaving you stunned, leaving you incapable to function for a while; physically and mentally. You feel a heavy burden on your chest and then comes a point when you just want for your mind to stop working, to stop overthinking but you just can’t help it. You often contemplate how your life would have been if you were still in touch with them. I had such a person in my life too and when I think about it I couldn’t help but wonder what hap...

 What if? -By Saroosh Numair https://msaroosh1.wixsite.com/afewsentences/post/what-if When I was starting my journey into university life, I initially had chosen to get me degree in Business. However, I made the sudden decision to transfer to Media Studies as it had been a passion of mine for a long time. I had spent my A Levels studying it as an extra subject, alongside the commerce combination. It was a major decision in my life and one that was very crucial to how my future would play out, and I often find myself wondering what my life would be like had I stuck with my original decision. If I hadn’t chosen media studies as my major, I would not have experienced all the things that I am so grateful for. In doing this degree, I have had the opportunity to take classes with a diverse group of very talented peers, and also become friends with them. I would not have had the honor of working with Salman Noorani, a man who’s work has inspired me for a long time. Meeting him and having ...

What if my parents never found me? -By Roohima Hussain https://roohimahussain.wordpress.com/2021/04/27/what-if-my-parents-never-found-me/ I was all lost wandering on streets of Lahore looking at every one passing by trying to find my mother and father with my blur eyes due to tears. Getting scared of every other man and woman who tries to come near me I was running away from one place to another screaming my dad’s name with extreme fear in my heart. Walked miles and after a few hours I gave up hope as I was very tired and hungry. I sat on a footpath for hours waited that someone might come to get me a lot of people starred me as they passed by. I don’t know when I fall asleep but all of a sudden I heard footsteps approaching and people talking. I opened my eyes quickly and I saw a woman along with a few people standing by my side. As I was scared already I stood up and tried to escape and that woman quickly grabbed me and calmed me down, she told that she is there to help me find my pa...

  I was never the type of student who could sit and stare at a text book for hours and try to remember all its content for an exam. Even the thought of opening up a text book would make me sleepy. In grade 8, I came out of the examination hall crying because I did horribly in my science exam. That’s when I decided that theoretical studies were not meant for me. I’d always enjoyed testing my mind as to how creative it could be, in every way that I could think of. Every form of art intrigued me and that’s when I decided that I wanted to make sure that whatever I did in the future it would have a creative aspect to it. My goal wasn’t to have a nine to five job after completing my studies but instead have something that I knew was made through the creativity of my own. But, that’s not exactly how it turned out to happen. Moving forward towards college admissions, while applying to different colleges I looked for one resource that they may have and that was Fine Arts. At that time, I ...
