"Writing is like playing a sport.The more you practice, the more confident and facile, or 'natural' you become at it. Even students who struggle with writing will eventually be well on their way to becoming more 'natural', confident, fluid, and interested writers." - - Sandhya Nankani,former senior editor of Writing, a Weekly Reader and former Supervising Editor, Scholastic Education.

Calm River By: Genevieve C.
As the water trickles down the river, I smell nothing but crisp, fresh, air. I see tall trees and blooming plants, puffy, white clouds and the mountains in the horizon- a barrier. The river is calm and pure. I sauntered down the rocky hills and sandy shores and finally into the river. It feels just like I imagined, silky and smooth as I glide through the thin, calm river.
