Introduction


            Hello, my name is Maliah and I am in 8th grade. My name is pronounced [Ma-Lie-Uh], lots of people pronounce it incorrectly, so I just thought I should add that little side note. When I first meet others, usually I may come off as mean or rude. However, I promise you I am the complete opposite. I love socializing and talking to others. Although I may seem unapproachable, I know that if I get to know you and vise versa, we will get along just fine! My friends and I always talk about lots of things, including my fears. I am greatly afraid of three things, and I hope you nor I will ever have to experience these things in life!
            The first thing that I am greatly afraid of is getting kidnapped. I know it’s super weird, but my friends and I sometimes think about what we would do if one of us got kidnapped. It would be horrific to be kidnapped, so when I am alone, it is always in the back of my mind. The movies about kidnapping, horrid and brutal, are exactly what I think about. Although they are just movies, these things really do happen in real life and it is very scary. One creak when I am alone really finds a way to perturb me. I guess that can be both a good and bad thing, hope for the best but prepare for the worst, and that is exactly what I do.
            Secondly, I am very frightened of elevators. Thankfully, I am not afraid of elevators enough to the point where I won’t go in one, it’s just that I am very alert and scared when I am in it. The reason I have this fear is because one time in a dream I fell in an elevator with my family, I still remember the dream precisely. Whenever I go in an elevator, the dream all comes back to me. Frightened, I always enter it warily. In the end, it always turns out okay and it does not fall nor malfunction. However, the fear is still there, and it is very bothering.
            Lastly, I am utterly horrified to go in a submarine. Small, unpredictable submarines always seem to get to my nerves. Just the thought of being in something that goes underwater troubles me. I can only imagine what would happen if water came in while we were in the submarine and stuck underwater. There is no getting out of it alive if that does occur, and that makes me super uneasy. Also, if you did drown, it would be a horrible death. The reason for that is because it would be so slow and miserable. So, there is no possibility that anyone will ever see me entering a submarine.
            Fears are very scary, and everyone has one. It is not a sign of weakness; it is a sign of being human, and that is truly what I think. Facing fears head on is worse than the fears themselves; and I hope to be able to do this someday (well besides the kidnapping part.) In the end, I hope this has shown another side of me that others may not be able to see as clearly!

    Maliah,

    You have a unique name and if anyone thinks otherwise, they can take a chill pill. Saying that, each one of your fears are legit. Kidnapping and brutal treatments of victims is sad fact. The cases were the kidnapper lived among regular neighbors while terrorizing their victims for years without anyone getting suspicious does strike fear in anyone's mind.

    Like you, I do not care for submarines and when I visited one last as part of museum trip, I was very very afraid of it getting unmoored and all of us getting under water. As I was one of the adults, I had to keep my fears under the wraps (Jippers!!!)

    You have an easygoing writing style. I am looking forward to reading more of your posts.

    Best wishes.

      Mrs. Trivedi-Ziemba,
      You are correct I have a very unusual name; however, I have grown to love it. I believe that since it is very unique, it is more elegant in a way. Thank you for commenting and I am glad to hear that others have the same thoughts as I do! I appreciate your remarks and I am glad to hear you enjoyed my blog!

 I was drawn to this photo because it represents where I live and how grateful I am for it. The United States is the land of the free and I am very thankful that I get to have that freedom, because I know some others are not as fortunate to have that. Also, since Veteran's Day is coming up, it reminds me of the brave heroins who fought with their lives for this flag to fly in the air. So in the end, this picture represents a lot about where I'm from and the background behind it. I was drawn to this second picture because it is very aesthetically pleasing. The contrast of the gardening boots to the nature behind has a very delightful look to it. Also, I took this picture when my classmates and I went on a walk. So, it just so happened that these boots were set in that spot by someone else. That is another reason why it's kind of cool, because of how natural they look.                              ...

My Favorite Holiday

Image
          My favorite holiday is very unusual and not a day that everybody considers a holiday. My favorite holiday is Christmas Eve. I love Christmas Eve because of the anticipation for Christmas morning. On Christmas Eve you feel very excited for whats to come the next day. Also, on Christmas Eve nights, my family still sets out cookies because I have a younger sister. So, it brings back lots of memories of the past Christmas's and brings hope for new memories.           Also, another reason why I like Christmas Eve more than Christmas Day itself is because all of my family comes together and celebrates on that day. I go to both of my grandparent's houses to celebrate on Christmas Eve. Also, my Aunt Brooke and cousin Peyton come here to celebrate. They live in the far west side of Iowa and are only 10 minutes away from Nebraska. So, since they are around 7 hours away from where I live, I only get to see them about twice a year, so, I ...

Emoji Story

Image
One day, my friends and I decided to walk around town. We were very surprised when we saw a dancer dancing around the streets. She was wearing a red dress and she kept doing lots of spins. We sat there watching her and we were starting to get a little dizzy just from watching her spin. Also, the music that was playing was not in our language, it was in Spanish. The music was blasting in our ears and it was horrible. However, the music did have a good beat in which the dancer could dance to. So, we decided to lay down, and as we lye down, everything starting twisting. All I could see was rapidly twisting clouds in the sky. I started to get quite a bit worried. So, I tried to relax and close my eyes. However, that did not help. The next thing I remember was a police officer shaking me awake. To this day, I do not know what happened to my friends and me that day. So, there is still some suspicion in our minds that that occurrence happened for a reason. However, you cannot tell a story...
