I always liked flying. In the movie The Notebook, Rachel McAdams says, “I wanna be a bird,” and I don’t think her character is alone in wanting that. I believe many of us have that childish dream of being able to fly.

Summer In Pakistan Means Luscious Melons
Arooj Khalid / youthjournalism.org A watermelon seller in a Lahore, Pakistan market with his goods By Arooj Khalid Reporter Youth Journalism International LAHORE, Pakistan – I don’t know about others, but I love, love, love watermelons.

Finally, A Cinematic Girl Who Is Truly ‘Brave’
By Gokce Yurekli Reporter YouthJournalism International NEWARK, New Jersey, U.S.A. – Pixar has produced many critically acclaimed films. Over the years, we watched a rat with remarkable culinary skills, a house that can fly, and a clownfish in search for his abducted son. But Pixar has never had a female protagonist before.

When her parents name her the prize in a contest between the bachelor sons of tribal lords, Merida rebels, much to the dismay of her mother.
