Reading, writing, thinking

Reading, writing and thinking are three of the things I do best. I am currently reading

"Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother". Have you ever noticed that Chinese kids are better at maths and music? Well that is the topic that this book covers.

I am writing a few things at the moment. I am writing a short story called "the prodigal sock". It's based on the story of the prodigal son. Another thing I am writing is a story about China's Terracotta warriors coming to life. Also my teacher is about to give us a writing assignment.

I am thinking about high school. Being in year 6 high school is constantly on my mind. I like drama so I want to go to a school with a good drama program.
