Joy emanates from heaven.
Dressed as an angel.
Leaving a trail of peace behind him.

My Secret Tool

My favorite place is my magic chair. It’s my gate to my imaginary world. I can travel to any place I wish to visit. By this magic way of traveling, my thoughts travel rather than my body. If someone asks me how I can fly, the answer is simple. I can fly by sitting in my magic leather chair, spinning quickly, closing my eyes, and free my mind and soul. Soon I find myself flying up in the sky.

No one can describe the happiness that enters me when I’m flying like a free bird. I’m so light and I can see whatever I imagine. The best place I ever visited was when I went to the blue ocean. My best moments ever were where I could smell the fresh air, hear the seagulls and, watch the whales. Yes, I saw those huge animals, and I was afraid from them.

I was looking into the dark blue ocean and my heart was beating too fast from the extreme joy I was in. Suddenly, I was falling down in my chair. By the time my sisters were calling me, I realized that I had returned back to the reality where I can’t fly. I keep my secret wings hidden away until the time when I use them again to start a new journey somewhere else in this wide universe.

A Good Laugh Is Sunshine

Some people say my name Shamsa means sun. Others say it means sunshine, but all these meanings are related to the light. My friends say that I’m warm, fresh, and full of energy just like the light of the sun. I think I’m lucky to have this name because my grandmother gave it to me. Although I hate my name because it’s old, I think that I’m unique to have it. No matter what I won’t change it.

Most people don’t call me Shamsa. It’s just my formal name. My friends, family and everyone who is close to me in some way call me by my nickname. Some call me Shamoos, others Shamasi, my grandfather calls me Shmaism, my best friend calls me Mooshi, and my other best friend calls me Shishim. Perhaps none of these nicknames is meaningful, but people like to call me by an affectionate name.

If anyone would ask me who am I a part of my name?.. my answer would be that I don’t know, but if the same question where asked to my friends and my family, One of my best friends would say that I’m just as the quote “A good laugh is sunshine in the house”. It was funny when I first heard this, but I’m happy with it and it means a lot to me. Some would say that I’m kind because I like to help anyone who asks me for help. Others would say I’m talkative because I like to talk a lot and speaking is my specialty, also they call me stupid and crazy. I really love the word stupid because to me it has a different meaning than the usual meaning. Stupid means smart talented unique person in demand. These nicknames and characteristics represent my identity among my friends and relatives, so I’m blessed to have them.
