Welcome brothers and sisters I have

come here before you to talk about our fellow

people being cut down like trees in the

Amazon rainforest and to talk about the

lives that could change Somalia If we

continue slaughtering our people like animals

at a slaughter house we will soon fade away

and no one will see what our people could

have achieved

I have come here before you because I

know I am in the right position to talk about

our people being slaughtered like meat Even

though I have never been to Somalia doesnt

mean I can help my country change forever I

cannot sleep knowing that I could have been

the change that our country needs the

Change that could determine the course of

our beautiful nation and the same change

that could help millions people

I have come here before you to say that if

we dont make a change now our country

will never develop because the people that

could change our nation forever are

immigrating because itrsquos not safe because we

dont have good schools because we dont have

unity

I have come here to talk to you about

how I imagine this country will be like in the

future I imagined a country full of hope and

unity I imagined a country that could

achieve anything that they wanted but this

wonrsquot happen until we join forces and face

our problems together

I have come here before you to talk about

the problems

our great nation is in a

deeper hole than the black hole because there

is no hope and if there is no hope change is

impossible We will need to rise up against

dictators that want to control our every

move we will need to rise up against poverty

we will need to rise up against piracy in

order for this to happen we will need to unite

I have come here before you to talk about

a vision I had for the future of Somalia a

future as bright as the sun a future where

our kids can live without worrying about

clean water where our kids dont worry about

school where our children dont worry about

food But this vision will never see the light

unless we as a nation take down dictators

and make everyone equal And if all this

happens I promise you that Somalia will

become one of the most powerful nation in

the entire world

I have come here today to say that

today is the day that we will change the

course of our country and to stand up for

our right We refuse to be treated like a third

world country Are we going to sit here and

let dictators determine our fate Are we

going to live the rest of lives in worry Are we

going to give up on our country The answer

is no This is the day we will rise as one and

tackle our problems head on

Women worldwide how many of you have freedom How many of you have the power to do what you want How many of you are alive How many of you can say I am human I am living life without getting controlled I am free to do what I want I am not being looked down on Are you all happy with your leaves How many times do you think you get to leave Once life is only once Girls around the world cannot go to school You know why Because they are girls Why Dont girls have brains Dont they understand Why is it that boys can go learn at school while girls cant Why arent they both human Dont they both have a soul Boys arent better than girls and Im not saying that girls are better than boys No they are both equal We are all equal So what is it that makes males better than females Can you think of anything Because I cant

efgh Many people are having the wrong view of Islam because of how many Muslim women are terribly oppressed You women who are not allowed to vote who are not allowed to work who are not allowed to drive who are not allowed to leave the country without permission from a male guardian Then what are you allowed to Sit at home cook and clean Is this how you are going to spend the rest of your life At home This is not Islam You are Muslims and this is not Islam This is not what God taught us God doesnt say take away all women rights He doesnt say make a women powerless And he doesnt say that a woman isnt allowed to stand up for her rights So this will be the day where you will stand brave as a lion This will be the day of equality This will be the day where you will change the world to a world where both females and males are equal This will be the day for you to leave life to the fullest This will be the day for you to be free to be able to do what you want and not take commands from someone else This will be the day of equality

Cubans You want your freedom and you want something done about that But here is the problem You canrsquot have freedom without a revolution against the oppressing system but without a sense of bravery you canrsquot rebel But what is bravery without truth You need to tell yourself the truth and the truth is that you are waiting for someone for an angel to come and save you from that hell full of its fallen brothers and sisters You want the fighter to have some empathy for you but what is empathy but the hope of someone to come and save you from your own mess And what is that person without compassion or without a feeling of caring What would happen if the people that help you get these luxuries disappeared To be

honest you will be doomed like the Romans were doomed centuries ago Right know you are like a strong flower which is dancing all over waiting to get what it needs but is soon bound to get pulled off the ground But there you are trusting these strangers to pick you up every time you fall even though they could leave you and let you to burn and rust whenever they want Whenever they get tired of saving you or maybe they dont have any more to give they will just leave you because you are not important to them You are just an advantage an advantage they could get rid of Thatrsquos why I say it is time to act know that the oppressing system isnt strong The people of Cuban society are hungry for a change and thirsty for a better life Itrsquos human nature

to back down to safety when the road gets tough and the system puts rules and consequences But I say that we should break that pattern because itrsquos about time that we break the rules and be brave and demand our freedom and equality I pledge towards the women in white asking for their freedom and their husbands and family to start this revolution I pledge towards all workers that have gone hungry for days because even if you worked and studied and have a career you are still living the worst life without enough food to give to your kids You only get twenty dollars a month I pledge to the kids to go to the Manecon and stare at the sea wondering what is out there I pledge to artists that dont have a chance to show the world their magic or that canrsquot get a better job overseas I pledge to the people that ended up in jail because they went to a beach for tourists And I pledge to all of you because you have lived this life but we are strong know So I say we pick up our flags and posts I say we march down the hot streets of Havana I say we break the

unreasonable rules I say we should read from the newspaper of other countries I say we learn from and start respecting the Yankees I say we fight for the freedom to pick the system we need and we want So help me even if you think that Im crazy for asking this because I am not going to wait Are you going to wait for them to come or are you going to act know You are probably asking Who is this girl to talk for us Who is this Latina here for But I have lived like you I have walked like you I have felt your pain I have listen to you You might still think that I am crazy but I have seen how you live and the things that you are missing because of your life style Many of you want to know more ndash more countries more culture ndash but you canrsquot because of how you are living I have felt your pain I have walked with you side to side and I have fought with you as well I am willing to fight with you again no matter what the consequences will be for me

rdquoDingrdquo exclaimed the elevator to

inform us that we were at our

selected level I slowly stepped out of

the giant elevator and started making

my way to the room staying right

behind my sister and grandmother I

could hear my shoes creaking as I

increased the tempo as I couldnrsquot

wait to see my new born sister As I

peeked around the corner I could see

my dad opening the huge door

extremely quiet not to make my

exhausted mom annoyed of all the

noises My sister and I skipped happily

to the door as my dad announced my

little sisters namerdquoMathilderdquo he

My sisterrsquos birth

Christian Sorensen

OslashISIE -acuteOslashsterbro International School In English 21

Memoirs whispered and then I thought lsquoThatrsquos

a pretty namersquo but I had to see her to

see if she looked like the beautiful

name The door swooshed open as I

pushed it with all my might I tip-toed

over to the bed where my mom and

sister lay

There she was with her small eyes

and lips reflecting what was in front

of her like a crystal clean mirror I

peeked over at my mom who was

almost asleep because of her

exhaustion Then I stepped back to let

my sister and grandmother look at my

admirable new born sister My proud

dad walked over to them and talked

about how the birth went and the long

wait for it to happen At the corner of

my eye I spotted a huge window I

could see the parking lot and the

beautiful lake some 700 meters away

rdquoItrsquos a beautiful view from up hererdquo I

told my dad In that split second my

big sister crept over to me to admire

it as well The sun was bearing down

on us and it was becoming very hot

because of the midsummer warmth

There were only a few clouds and they

were as thick as cotton candy I could

honestly have eaten them I took a

seat in a small couch right in front of

us and then my dad asked if we

wanted to hold our little sister rdquoYesrdquo

We both exclaimed very excitingly

rdquoOkay but be very carefulrdquo He

scooped her up like an ice cream

spoon peeling up the ice cream and

then handed her over to us She had a

minute pink blanket over her to

protect her from the cold air around

her I started rocking her back and

forth as she was becoming

uncomfortable I looked at her

miniature fingers slowly coming to a

rest as she calmed down Without

notice I handed her over to my excited

sister

After a minute or so there was a

knock on the door Who could it be

Friends and family My dad crept

towards the door very quiet and

opened the creaking door In a split

second I knew who it was It was my

whole family Uncles aunts

grandfather and cousins I flew up

from my chair to say hello The next

thing I know is someone calling my

name Itrsquos my dadrsquos sister that has a

something in her hands a gift It must

be to me I thought as I hurried over to

her It was I ripped off the paper like

a mad man and then I saw a toy

airplane It was an old fighter aircraft

It looked like a Spitfire and it was so

breathtaking I gave her a big hug and

began playing with it From that day

on I have loved having a little sister

and I will definitely for the rest of my

life

Memoirs

In Bali there is a day in which it

is believed that devils come to the

island and look for life so everyone

has to be really quiet and use no

electricity so the devils think no

one lives on the island and they

will go away Itrsquos called Nyepi This

day is usually the most boring day

of the year but last Nyepi my

friend Isabella invited me to come

with her and her family to Lombok

where they dont celebrate Nyepi I

was really excited I packed a week

early and bought lots of snacks for

the trip It was a really short flight

from Bali to Lombok and we got

yucky chocolate pastry thingies I

dont really know what they were

and we got told off twice for being

too loud by this old lady sitting

next to us When we landed half

an hour later we went straight to

the hotel and had breakfast

On the first day we just

chilled at the hotel but the next

day we set off to a beach really far

A day at

the beach Ines Liokouras

OslashISIE -acuteOslashsterbro International School In English 23

Memoirs away While driving on the most

unbearable road I had ever driven

on we saw many peculiar things

People walking their cows and kids

running around barefoot banging

plastic bottles together to make

music It was a very uncomfortable

ride The air conditioner was

broken and it was extremely hot

outside The driver was playing

annoying K-pop music for the

whole three hour drive

The area where the beach was

located was a jungle and it didnt

look at all like a place where a

beach would be We rented four

worn out surfboards and seven

shabby looking boogie boards The

ocean seemed especially beautiful

that day and the water was the

most magnificent shade of blue It

really was like paradise with all the

palm trees and the smooth warm

sand We surfed all day not like

Mark Richards or anything In fact

we were really quite terrible at it

but it was one of those moments

where nothing in the world seemed

to matter

After swimming in the sea we

felt a bit yucky because of the salt

in the water So we wanted to take

a rinse but for some reason it was

all the way up by the road So we

ran barefoot across the dirt road

until we got to what looked like a

large tap We rinsed off but

because of the size it took forever

and in the time it took three huge

tourist busses passed by I realized

that this place was probably going

to become really touristy one day

and itrsquos a good thing I came before

the small island becomes too

cramped

We ate lunch in this really

cute hut It was a really nice place

it had coral mobiles everywhere

and smelt of the sea The food was

really good and we hung out on the

lounge chairs for a while eating lots

of crispy French fries and talking

about the usual random rubbish

Isabella and I always talk about

I dont remember what

happened after that but I do

remember how happy I was how I

just wanted to surf the waves

forever and lie in the sand until the

end of time But moments have to

pass Thatrsquos why we should enjoy

them All the little moments in life

should be enjoyed I do want to go

back to that little beach by the

jungle but Irsquom afraid that lombok

might start turning into a concrete

jungle full with grey skies and

murky waters But whatever

happens I know Irsquoll always have the

memory in my head

Book Suggestion

As a psychologist I would like to warmly

recommend Hans Christians Andersenrsquos

fairy tales stories fit for all ages HC

Andersens tales were read for me when I

was a child and I have often revisited

them in my work after I have spoken to

clients because they offer words and ideas

to psychological issues

Take for example the Little Mermaid A

tale is about a heroine with investigative

curiosity fascinated by the unknown and

intent on broadening her horizons She

has an intense longing to visit the world

above the sea by arranging the flowers in

her garden into the shape of the sun

listening to her grandmother and sisters

stories of the surface The world above

seems larger than her own and she wants

to know as much as she can about it

HC Andersen talks about things that

are on everyonersquos minds and yet he

makes it exciting and fantastic They are

short stories easy to read

OslashISIE -acuteOslashsterbro International School In English 47

Once upon a time there lived a girl

named Emily She lived with her parents

in a small little house Her family was a

little poor but not that much One day

while Emily was playing with her doll

she accidently threw it in the wall and

suddenly the wall began to open She

could not believe her eyes She got a

little scared but didnt start to yell She

wanted to keep this a secret She always

dreamed of having a new adventure so

she went inside She could not believe

her eyes when she saw fairies flying

around Some of the fairies were

working and the little ones were

playing And at that moment she saw

the most beautiful fairy that looked like

a 12-year-old girl just like Emily was

Emily forgot about everything she had

seen and just wanted to be her friend

but she couldnrsquot just go and say hello

because she was a fairy and Emily was a

human She thought that the fairy might

get scared but she always wanted a best

friend so she went to say hello to her

The fairy got a little scared but she

couldnrsquot believe her eyes that a real

human talked to her The fairy said hello

back to Emily the fairy asked Emily

how did she find the fairy world Emily

told the whole story about how did she

find the fairy world When she was

finished the whole story she asked the

fairy what was her name The fairy said

her name was Emma and asked whatrsquos

yours Emily told her name

Emily and Emma talked and talked

When Emily remembered that it had

been an hour since she was in the fairy

land Emily thought her parents might

be worried about her so Emily told

Emma that she needed to go home and

she would meet her the other day And

that is how the days went Emily would

always go to the fairy world and meet

Emma And soon the whole fairy world

new about Emily and they were not

scared of her They treated her like a

fairy But one day it all turned out the

other way While Emilyrsquos was mom

cooking in the kitchen the oven caught

fire Since the whole house was made

out of wood so the house burned down

very quickly The family didnt have

anywhere to live in Emily had to tell

her secret about the secret door to save

herself and her parents she showed

them the way to the fairy world she

throw a piece of wood to the wall and

the wall began to open her parents

could not believe it Emily ran to

Emma and told her what

happened Emma got upset about the

burned house very much Emily asked

Emma if she and her parents could live

there then she showed Emma her

parents coming towards Emma saw how

devastated they were and felt really

sorry for them She immediately went to

ask the fairy queen whether Emily and

her parents could stay there after long

hours of discussions and talk they

decided to let Emily and her parents

stay And they lived happily ever after

places I have lived I have lived in 4

different places I was born in

Kenya I stayed in Kenya for a

while From Kenya I moved to

Holland I moved to a city

called Rotterdam in

Holland I liked Holland

because the schools were

close to our home But

what I didnrsquot like was that

not so many people were

nice For example they

didnrsquot help when we

asked for help to find

places I had nice friends

to play with in Rotterdam

My Life Story Jeremiah Nyancho

OslashISIE -acuteOslashsterbro International School In English 49

When I was 6 years old I

moved to Copenhagen in Denmark

At the start we stayed in a hotel At

the very beginning I felt like I

wanted to go back to Kenya I

didnrsquot want to move The hard part

was packing When I had to say

goodbye it was ok but when my

sister had to say goodbye she

cried At the start in Copenhagen it

was hard taking trains to school

because I was learning how to take

a train Now I am 12 years old soon

13 in 4 months and I like it in

Copenhagen The people are

helpful I like the friends here they

are nice I think it is a nice thing to

move around When I am older and

I have a job I want to travel all

around the world I especially

would like to live in Rio

My two main interests are

sports and electronics My favorite

sports are basketball football and

swimming When I was 6 I liked

football then when I was 11 years

old I liked swimming and now that

I am 12 I started to like basketball

Sports make me who I am I used to

go to a swimming club and it was

hard from the beginning

Swimming is hard because it is

hard to cope with others who are

good and fast I used to play on a

football team and it was hard to

cope with the good footballers It

was boring without activities I

hope I join a new football club I

play basketball during breaks and

PE time and I want to keep playing

these sports in the future My

favorite electronics are IPad WII

and Nintendo DS I like these

because they are fun I use my IPad

for email and games Electronics

are part of my daily life

In conclusion my life is

being active and having fun My

family is important to my life I like

that my family are around the

world I have enjoyed moving to

different places The hard thing is

to say goodbye to friends I feel I

have a lot of interests I hope you

enjoyed my life story

Welcome brothers and sisters I have

come here before you to talk about our fellow

people being cut down like trees in the

Amazon rainforest and to talk about the

lives that could change Somalia If we

continue slaughtering our people like animals

at a slaughter house we will soon fade away

and no one will see what our people could

have achieved

I have come here before you because I

know I am in the right position to talk about

our people being slaughtered like meat Even

though I have never been to Somalia doesnt

mean I can help my country change forever I

cannot sleep knowing that I could have been

the change that our country needs the

Change that could determine the course of

our beautiful nation and the same change

that could help millions people

I have come here before you to say that if

we dont make a change now our country

will never develop because the people that

could change our nation forever are

immigrating because itrsquos not safe because we

dont have good schools because we dont have

unity

I have come here to talk to you about

how I imagine this country will be like in the

future I imagined a country full of hope and

unity I imagined a country that could

achieve anything that they wanted but this

wonrsquot happen until we join forces and face

our problems together

I have come here before you to talk about

the problems

our great nation is in a

deeper hole than the black hole because there

is no hope and if there is no hope change is

impossible We will need to rise up against

dictators that want to control our every

move we will need to rise up against poverty

we will need to rise up against piracy in

order for this to happen we will need to unite

I have come here before you to talk about

a vision I had for the future of Somalia a

future as bright as the sun a future where

our kids can live without worrying about

clean water where our kids dont worry about

school where our children dont worry about

food But this vision will never see the light

unless we as a nation take down dictators

and make everyone equal And if all this

happens I promise you that Somalia will

become one of the most powerful nation in

the entire world

I have come here today to say that

today is the day that we will change the

course of our country and to stand up for

our right We refuse to be treated like a third

world country Are we going to sit here and

let dictators determine our fate Are we

going to live the rest of lives in worry Are we

going to give up on our country The answer

is no This is the day we will rise as one and

tackle our problems head on

efgh Many people are having the wrong view of Islam because of how many Muslim women are terribly oppressed You women who are not allowed to vote who are not allowed to work who are not allowed to drive who are not allowed to leave the country without permission from a male guardian Then what are you allowed to Sit at home cook and clean Is this how you are going to spend the rest of your life At home This is not Islam You are Muslims and this is not Islam This is not what God taught us God doesnt say take away all women rights He doesnt say make a women powerless And he doesnt say that a woman isnt allowed to stand up for her rights So this will be the day where you will stand brave as a lion This will be the day of equality This will be the day where you will change the world to a world where both females and males are equal This will be the day for you to leave life to the fullest This will be the day for you to be free to be able to do what you want and not take commands from someone else This will be the day of equality

Cubans You want your freedom and you want something done about that But here is the problem You canrsquot have freedom without a revolution against the oppressing system but without a sense of bravery you canrsquot rebel But what is bravery without truth You need to tell yourself the truth and the truth is that you are waiting for someone for an angel to come and save you from that hell full of its fallen brothers and sisters You want the fighter to have some empathy for you but what is empathy but the hope of someone to come and save you from your own mess And what is that person without compassion or without a feeling of caring What would happen if the people that help you get these luxuries disappeared To be

honest you will be doomed like the Romans were doomed centuries ago Right know you are like a strong flower which is dancing all over waiting to get what it needs but is soon bound to get pulled off the ground But there you are trusting these strangers to pick you up every time you fall even though they could leave you and let you to burn and rust whenever they want Whenever they get tired of saving you or maybe they dont have any more to give they will just leave you because you are not important to them You are just an advantage an advantage they could get rid of Thatrsquos why I say it is time to act know that the oppressing system isnt strong The people of Cuban society are hungry for a change and thirsty for a better life Itrsquos human nature

the giant elevator and started making

my way to the room staying right

behind my sister and grandmother I

could hear my shoes creaking as I

increased the tempo as I couldnrsquot

wait to see my new born sister As I

peeked around the corner I could see

my dad opening the huge door

extremely quiet not to make my

exhausted mom annoyed of all the

noises My sister and I skipped happily

OslashISIE -acuteOslashsterbro International School In English 21

Memoirs whispered and then I thought lsquoThatrsquos

a pretty namersquo but I had to see her to

see if she looked like the beautiful

name The door swooshed open as I

pushed it with all my might I tip-toed

over to the bed where my mom and

sister lay

There she was with her small eyes

and lips reflecting what was in front

of her like a crystal clean mirror I

peeked over at my mom who was

almost asleep because of her

exhaustion Then I stepped back to let

my sister and grandmother look at my

admirable new born sister My proud

dad walked over to them and talked

about how the birth went and the long

wait for it to happen At the corner of

my eye I spotted a huge window I

could see the parking lot and the

beautiful lake some 700 meters away

rdquoItrsquos a beautiful view from up hererdquo I

told my dad In that split second my

big sister crept over to me to admire

it as well The sun was bearing down

on us and it was becoming very hot

because of the midsummer warmth

There were only a few clouds and they

were as thick as cotton candy I could

honestly have eaten them I took a

seat in a small couch right in front of

us and then my dad asked if we

wanted to hold our little sister rdquoYesrdquo

We both exclaimed very excitingly

rdquoOkay but be very carefulrdquo He

scooped her up like an ice cream

spoon peeling up the ice cream and

then handed her over to us She had a

minute pink blanket over her to

protect her from the cold air around

her I started rocking her back and

forth as she was becoming

uncomfortable I looked at her

miniature fingers slowly coming to a

rest as she calmed down Without

notice I handed her over to my excited

sister

After a minute or so there was a

knock on the door Who could it be

Friends and family My dad crept

towards the door very quiet and

opened the creaking door In a split

second I knew who it was It was my

whole family Uncles aunts

grandfather and cousins I flew up

from my chair to say hello The next

thing I know is someone calling my

name Itrsquos my dadrsquos sister that has a

something in her hands a gift It must

be to me I thought as I hurried over to

her It was I ripped off the paper like

a mad man and then I saw a toy

airplane It was an old fighter aircraft

It looked like a Spitfire and it was so

breathtaking I gave her a big hug and

began playing with it From that day

on I have loved having a little sister

In Bali there is a day in which it

is believed that devils come to the

island and look for life so everyone

has to be really quiet and use no

electricity so the devils think no

one lives on the island and they

will go away Itrsquos called Nyepi This

day is usually the most boring day

of the year but last Nyepi my

friend Isabella invited me to come

with her and her family to Lombok

where they dont celebrate Nyepi I

was really excited I packed a week

early and bought lots of snacks for

the trip It was a really short flight

from Bali to Lombok and we got

yucky chocolate pastry thingies I

dont really know what they were

and we got told off twice for being

too loud by this old lady sitting

next to us When we landed half

an hour later we went straight to

the hotel and had breakfast

On the first day we just

chilled at the hotel but the next

day we set off to a beach really far

A day at

the beach Ines Liokouras

OslashISIE -acuteOslashsterbro International School In English 23

Memoirs away While driving on the most

unbearable road I had ever driven

on we saw many peculiar things

People walking their cows and kids

running around barefoot banging

plastic bottles together to make

music It was a very uncomfortable

ride The air conditioner was

broken and it was extremely hot

outside The driver was playing

annoying K-pop music for the

whole three hour drive

The area where the beach was

located was a jungle and it didnt

look at all like a place where a

beach would be We rented four

worn out surfboards and seven

shabby looking boogie boards The

ocean seemed especially beautiful

that day and the water was the

most magnificent shade of blue It

really was like paradise with all the

palm trees and the smooth warm

sand We surfed all day not like

Mark Richards or anything In fact

we were really quite terrible at it

but it was one of those moments

where nothing in the world seemed

to matter

After swimming in the sea we

felt a bit yucky because of the salt

in the water So we wanted to take

a rinse but for some reason it was

all the way up by the road So we

ran barefoot across the dirt road

until we got to what looked like a

large tap We rinsed off but

because of the size it took forever

and in the time it took three huge

tourist busses passed by I realized

that this place was probably going

to become really touristy one day

and itrsquos a good thing I came before

the small island becomes too

cramped

We ate lunch in this really

cute hut It was a really nice place

it had coral mobiles everywhere

and smelt of the sea The food was

really good and we hung out on the

lounge chairs for a while eating lots

of crispy French fries and talking

about the usual random rubbish

Isabella and I always talk about

I dont remember what

happened after that but I do

remember how happy I was how I

just wanted to surf the waves

forever and lie in the sand until the

end of time But moments have to

pass Thatrsquos why we should enjoy

them All the little moments in life

should be enjoyed I do want to go

back to that little beach by the

jungle but Irsquom afraid that lombok

might start turning into a concrete

jungle full with grey skies and

murky waters But whatever

happens I know Irsquoll always have the

memory in my head

Book Suggestion

As a psychologist I would like to warmly

recommend Hans Christians Andersenrsquos

fairy tales stories fit for all ages HC

Andersens tales were read for me when I

was a child and I have often revisited

them in my work after I have spoken to

clients because they offer words and ideas

to psychological issues

Take for example the Little Mermaid A

tale is about a heroine with investigative

curiosity fascinated by the unknown and

intent on broadening her horizons She

has an intense longing to visit the world

above the sea by arranging the flowers in

her garden into the shape of the sun

listening to her grandmother and sisters

stories of the surface The world above

seems larger than her own and she wants

to know as much as she can about it

HC Andersen talks about things that

are on everyonersquos minds and yet he

makes it exciting and fantastic They are

short stories easy to read

My very own story

OslashISIE -acuteOslashsterbro International School In English 47

Once upon a time there lived a girl

named Emily She lived with her parents

in a small little house Her family was a

little poor but not that much One day

while Emily was playing with her doll

she accidently threw it in the wall and

suddenly the wall began to open She

could not believe her eyes She got a

little scared but didnt start to yell She

wanted to keep this a secret She always

dreamed of having a new adventure so

she went inside She could not believe

her eyes when she saw fairies flying

around Some of the fairies were

working and the little ones were

playing And at that moment she saw

the most beautiful fairy that looked like

a 12-year-old girl just like Emily was

Emily forgot about everything she had

seen and just wanted to be her friend

but she couldnrsquot just go and say hello

because she was a fairy and Emily was a

human She thought that the fairy might

get scared but she always wanted a best

friend so she went to say hello to her

The fairy got a little scared but she

couldnrsquot believe her eyes that a real

human talked to her The fairy said hello

back to Emily the fairy asked Emily

how did she find the fairy world Emily

told the whole story about how did she

find the fairy world When she was

finished the whole story she asked the

fairy what was her name The fairy said

her name was Emma and asked whatrsquos

yours Emily told her name

Emily and Emma talked and talked

When Emily remembered that it had

been an hour since she was in the fairy

land Emily thought her parents might

be worried about her so Emily told

Emma that she needed to go home and

she would meet her the other day And

that is how the days went Emily would

always go to the fairy world and meet

Emma And soon the whole fairy world

new about Emily and they were not

scared of her They treated her like a

fairy But one day it all turned out the

other way While Emilyrsquos was mom

cooking in the kitchen the oven caught

fire Since the whole house was made

out of wood so the house burned down

very quickly The family didnt have

anywhere to live in Emily had to tell

her secret about the secret door to save

herself and her parents she showed

them the way to the fairy world she

throw a piece of wood to the wall and

the wall began to open her parents

could not believe it Emily ran to

Emma and told her what

happened Emma got upset about the

burned house very much Emily asked

Emma if she and her parents could live

there then she showed Emma her

parents coming towards Emma saw how

devastated they were and felt really

sorry for them She immediately went to

ask the fairy queen whether Emily and

her parents could stay there after long

hours of discussions and talk they

decided to let Emily and her parents

stay And they lived happily ever after

My life story is very fun

Jeremiah I come from Kenya and I

and 3 siblings My 2 older siblings

of Europe I have a nice family We

cooking making lunch washing

the dishes and cleaning the house

We also have family time from

Friday at 1800 until Saturday at

1800 During family time we rest

together we talk and have some

fun

I will now talk about the

places I have lived I have lived in 4

different places I was born in

Kenya I stayed in Kenya for a

while From Kenya I moved to

Holland I moved to a city

called Rotterdam in

Holland I liked Holland

because the schools were

close to our home But

what I didnrsquot like was that

not so many people were

nice For example they

didnrsquot help when we

asked for help to find

places I had nice friends

to play with in Rotterdam

My Life Story Jeremiah Nyancho

OslashISIE -acuteOslashsterbro International School In English 49

When I was 6 years old I

moved to Copenhagen in Denmark

At the start we stayed in a hotel At

the very beginning I felt like I

wanted to go back to Kenya I

didnrsquot want to move The hard part

was packing When I had to say

goodbye it was ok but when my

sister had to say goodbye she

cried At the start in Copenhagen it

was hard taking trains to school

because I was learning how to take

a train Now I am 12 years old soon

13 in 4 months and I like it in

Copenhagen The people are

helpful I like the friends here they

are nice I think it is a nice thing to

move around When I am older and

I have a job I want to travel all

around the world I especially

would like to live in Rio

My two main interests are

sports and electronics My favorite

sports are basketball football and

swimming When I was 6 I liked

football then when I was 11 years

old I liked swimming and now that

I am 12 I started to like basketball

Sports make me who I am I used to

go to a swimming club and it was

hard from the beginning

Swimming is hard because it is

hard to cope with others who are

good and fast I used to play on a

football team and it was hard to

cope with the good footballers It

was boring without activities I

hope I join a new football club I

play basketball during breaks and

PE time and I want to keep playing

these sports in the future My

favorite electronics are IPad WII

and Nintendo DS I like these

because they are fun I use my IPad

for email and games Electronics

are part of my daily life

In conclusion my life is

being active and having fun My

family is important to my life I like

that my family are around the

world I have enjoyed moving to

different places The hard thing is

to say goodbye to friends I feel I

have a lot of interests I hope you

enjoyed my life story

Welcome brothers and sisters I have

come here before you to talk about our fellow

people being cut down like trees in the

Amazon rainforest and to talk about the

lives that could change Somalia If we

continue slaughtering our people like animals

at a slaughter house we will soon fade away

and no one will see what our people could

have achieved

I have come here before you because I

know I am in the right position to talk about

our people being slaughtered like meat Even

though I have never been to Somalia doesnt

mean I can help my country change forever I

cannot sleep knowing that I could have been

the change that our country needs the

Change that could determine the course of

our beautiful nation and the same change

that could help millions people

I have come here before you to say that if

we dont make a change now our country

will never develop because the people that

could change our nation forever are

immigrating because itrsquos not safe because we

dont have good schools because we dont have

unity

I have come here to talk to you about

how I imagine this country will be like in the

future I imagined a country full of hope and

unity I imagined a country that could

achieve anything that they wanted but this

wonrsquot happen until we join forces and face

our problems together

I have come here before you to talk about

the problems

our great nation is in a

deeper hole than the black hole because there

is no hope and if there is no hope change is

impossible We will need to rise up against

dictators that want to control our every

move we will need to rise up against poverty

we will need to rise up against piracy in

order for this to happen we will need to unite

I have come here before you to talk about

a vision I had for the future of Somalia a

future as bright as the sun a future where

our kids can live without worrying about

clean water where our kids dont worry about

school where our children dont worry about

food But this vision will never see the light

unless we as a nation take down dictators

and make everyone equal And if all this

happens I promise you that Somalia will

become one of the most powerful nation in

the entire world

I have come here today to say that

today is the day that we will change the

course of our country and to stand up for

our right We refuse to be treated like a third

world country Are we going to sit here and

let dictators determine our fate Are we

going to live the rest of lives in worry Are we

going to give up on our country The answer

is no This is the day we will rise as one and

tackle our problems head on

Cubans You want your freedom and you want something done about that But here is the problem You canrsquot have freedom without a revolution against the oppressing system but without a sense of bravery you canrsquot rebel But what is bravery without truth You need to tell yourself the truth and the truth is that you are waiting for someone for an angel to come and save you from that hell full of its fallen brothers and sisters You want the fighter to have some empathy for you but what is empathy but the hope of someone to come and save you from your own mess And what is that person without compassion or without a feeling of caring What would happen if the people that help you get these luxuries disappeared To be

honest you will be doomed like the Romans were doomed centuries ago Right know you are like a strong flower which is dancing all over waiting to get what it needs but is soon bound to get pulled off the ground But there you are trusting these strangers to pick you up every time you fall even though they could leave you and let you to burn and rust whenever they want Whenever they get tired of saving you or maybe they dont have any more to give they will just leave you because you are not important to them You are just an advantage an advantage they could get rid of Thatrsquos why I say it is time to act know that the oppressing system isnt strong The people of Cuban society are hungry for a change and thirsty for a better life Itrsquos human nature

a pretty namersquo but I had to see her to

see if she looked like the beautiful

name The door swooshed open as I

pushed it with all my might I tip-toed

over to the bed where my mom and

sister lay

There she was with her small eyes

and lips reflecting what was in front

of her like a crystal clean mirror I

peeked over at my mom who was

almost asleep because of her

exhaustion Then I stepped back to let

my sister and grandmother look at my

admirable new born sister My proud

dad walked over to them and talked

about how the birth went and the long

wait for it to happen At the corner of

my eye I spotted a huge window I

could see the parking lot and the

beautiful lake some 700 meters away

rdquoItrsquos a beautiful view from up hererdquo I

told my dad In that split second my

big sister crept over to me to admire

it as well The sun was bearing down

on us and it was becoming very hot

because of the midsummer warmth

There were only a few clouds and they

were as thick as cotton candy I could

honestly have eaten them I took a

seat in a small couch right in front of

us and then my dad asked if we

wanted to hold our little sister rdquoYesrdquo

We both exclaimed very excitingly

rdquoOkay but be very carefulrdquo He

scooped her up like an ice cream

spoon peeling up the ice cream and

then handed her over to us She had a

minute pink blanket over her to

protect her from the cold air around

her I started rocking her back and

forth as she was becoming

uncomfortable I looked at her

miniature fingers slowly coming to a

rest as she calmed down Without

notice I handed her over to my excited

sister

After a minute or so there was a

knock on the door Who could it be

Friends and family My dad crept

towards the door very quiet and

opened the creaking door In a split

second I knew who it was It was my

whole family Uncles aunts

grandfather and cousins I flew up

from my chair to say hello The next

thing I know is someone calling my

name Itrsquos my dadrsquos sister that has a

her It was I ripped off the paper like

In Bali there is a day in which it

is believed that devils come to the

island and look for life so everyone

has to be really quiet and use no

electricity so the devils think no

one lives on the island and they

will go away Itrsquos called Nyepi This

day is usually the most boring day

of the year but last Nyepi my

friend Isabella invited me to come

with her and her family to Lombok

where they dont celebrate Nyepi I

was really excited I packed a week

early and bought lots of snacks for

the trip It was a really short flight

from Bali to Lombok and we got

yucky chocolate pastry thingies I

dont really know what they were

and we got told off twice for being

too loud by this old lady sitting

next to us When we landed half

an hour later we went straight to

the hotel and had breakfast

On the first day we just

chilled at the hotel but the next

day we set off to a beach really far

A day at

the beach Ines Liokouras

OslashISIE -acuteOslashsterbro International School In English 23

Memoirs away While driving on the most

unbearable road I had ever driven

on we saw many peculiar things

People walking their cows and kids

running around barefoot banging

plastic bottles together to make

music It was a very uncomfortable

ride The air conditioner was

broken and it was extremely hot

outside The driver was playing

annoying K-pop music for the

whole three hour drive

The area where the beach was

located was a jungle and it didnt

look at all like a place where a

beach would be We rented four

worn out surfboards and seven

shabby looking boogie boards The

ocean seemed especially beautiful

that day and the water was the

most magnificent shade of blue It

really was like paradise with all the

palm trees and the smooth warm

sand We surfed all day not like

Mark Richards or anything In fact

we were really quite terrible at it

but it was one of those moments

where nothing in the world seemed

to matter

After swimming in the sea we

felt a bit yucky because of the salt

in the water So we wanted to take

a rinse but for some reason it was

all the way up by the road So we

ran barefoot across the dirt road

until we got to what looked like a

large tap We rinsed off but

because of the size it took forever

and in the time it took three huge

tourist busses passed by I realized

that this place was probably going

to become really touristy one day

and itrsquos a good thing I came before

the small island becomes too

cramped

We ate lunch in this really

cute hut It was a really nice place

it had coral mobiles everywhere

and smelt of the sea The food was

really good and we hung out on the

lounge chairs for a while eating lots

of crispy French fries and talking

about the usual random rubbish

Isabella and I always talk about

I dont remember what

happened after that but I do

remember how happy I was how I

just wanted to surf the waves

forever and lie in the sand until the

end of time But moments have to

pass Thatrsquos why we should enjoy

them All the little moments in life

should be enjoyed I do want to go

back to that little beach by the

jungle but Irsquom afraid that lombok

might start turning into a concrete

jungle full with grey skies and

murky waters But whatever

happens I know Irsquoll always have the

memory in my head

books or books about the subjects they like so the

kids can see them Itrsquos been a fun way to share the

Book Suggestion

As a psychologist I would like to warmly

recommend Hans Christians Andersenrsquos

fairy tales stories fit for all ages HC

Andersens tales were read for me when I

was a child and I have often revisited

them in my work after I have spoken to

clients because they offer words and ideas

to psychological issues

Take for example the Little Mermaid A

tale is about a heroine with investigative

curiosity fascinated by the unknown and

intent on broadening her horizons She

has an intense longing to visit the world

above the sea by arranging the flowers in

her garden into the shape of the sun

listening to her grandmother and sisters

stories of the surface The world above

seems larger than her own and she wants

to know as much as she can about it

HC Andersen talks about things that

are on everyonersquos minds and yet he

makes it exciting and fantastic They are

short stories easy to read

Once upon a time there lived a girl

named Emily She lived with her parents

in a small little house Her family was a

little poor but not that much One day

while Emily was playing with her doll

she accidently threw it in the wall and

suddenly the wall began to open She

could not believe her eyes She got a

little scared but didnt start to yell She

wanted to keep this a secret She always

dreamed of having a new adventure so

she went inside She could not believe

her eyes when she saw fairies flying

around Some of the fairies were

working and the little ones were

playing And at that moment she saw

the most beautiful fairy that looked like

a 12-year-old girl just like Emily was

Emily forgot about everything she had

seen and just wanted to be her friend

but she couldnrsquot just go and say hello

because she was a fairy and Emily was a

human She thought that the fairy might

get scared but she always wanted a best

friend so she went to say hello to her

The fairy got a little scared but she

couldnrsquot believe her eyes that a real

human talked to her The fairy said hello

back to Emily the fairy asked Emily

how did she find the fairy world Emily

told the whole story about how did she

find the fairy world When she was

finished the whole story she asked the

fairy what was her name The fairy said

her name was Emma and asked whatrsquos

yours Emily told her name

Emily and Emma talked and talked

When Emily remembered that it had

been an hour since she was in the fairy

land Emily thought her parents might

be worried about her so Emily told

Emma that she needed to go home and

she would meet her the other day And

that is how the days went Emily would

always go to the fairy world and meet

Emma And soon the whole fairy world

new about Emily and they were not

scared of her They treated her like a

fairy But one day it all turned out the

other way While Emilyrsquos was mom

cooking in the kitchen the oven caught

fire Since the whole house was made

out of wood so the house burned down

very quickly The family didnt have

anywhere to live in Emily had to tell

her secret about the secret door to save

herself and her parents she showed

them the way to the fairy world she

throw a piece of wood to the wall and

the wall began to open her parents

could not believe it Emily ran to

Emma and told her what

happened Emma got upset about the

burned house very much Emily asked

Emma if she and her parents could live

there then she showed Emma her

parents coming towards Emma saw how

devastated they were and felt really

sorry for them She immediately went to

ask the fairy queen whether Emily and

her parents could stay there after long

hours of discussions and talk they

decided to let Emily and her parents

stay And they lived happily ever after

places I have lived I have lived in 4

different places I was born in

Kenya I stayed in Kenya for a

while From Kenya I moved to

Holland I moved to a city

called Rotterdam in

Holland I liked Holland

because the schools were

close to our home But

what I didnrsquot like was that

not so many people were

nice For example they

didnrsquot help when we

asked for help to find

places I had nice friends

to play with in Rotterdam

My Life Story Jeremiah Nyancho

OslashISIE -acuteOslashsterbro International School In English 49

When I was 6 years old I

moved to Copenhagen in Denmark

At the start we stayed in a hotel At

the very beginning I felt like I

wanted to go back to Kenya I

didnrsquot want to move The hard part

was packing When I had to say

goodbye it was ok but when my

sister had to say goodbye she

cried At the start in Copenhagen it

was hard taking trains to school

because I was learning how to take

a train Now I am 12 years old soon

13 in 4 months and I like it in

Copenhagen The people are

helpful I like the friends here they

are nice I think it is a nice thing to

move around When I am older and

I have a job I want to travel all

around the world I especially

would like to live in Rio

My two main interests are

sports and electronics My favorite

sports are basketball football and

swimming When I was 6 I liked

football then when I was 11 years

old I liked swimming and now that

I am 12 I started to like basketball

Sports make me who I am I used to

go to a swimming club and it was

hard from the beginning

Swimming is hard because it is

hard to cope with others who are

good and fast I used to play on a

football team and it was hard to

cope with the good footballers It

was boring without activities I

hope I join a new football club I

play basketball during breaks and

PE time and I want to keep playing

these sports in the future My

favorite electronics are IPad WII

and Nintendo DS I like these

because they are fun I use my IPad

for email and games Electronics

are part of my daily life

In conclusion my life is

being active and having fun My

family is important to my life I like

that my family are around the

world I have enjoyed moving to

different places The hard thing is

to say goodbye to friends I feel I

have a lot of interests I hope you

enjoyed my life story

Welcome brothers and sisters I have

come here before you to talk about our fellow

people being cut down like trees in the

Amazon rainforest and to talk about the

lives that could change Somalia If we

continue slaughtering our people like animals

at a slaughter house we will soon fade away

and no one will see what our people could

have achieved

I have come here before you because I

know I am in the right position to talk about

our people being slaughtered like meat Even

though I have never been to Somalia doesnt

mean I can help my country change forever I

cannot sleep knowing that I could have been

the change that our country needs the

Change that could determine the course of

our beautiful nation and the same change

that could help millions people

I have come here before you to say that if

we dont make a change now our country

will never develop because the people that

could change our nation forever are

immigrating because itrsquos not safe because we

dont have good schools because we dont have

unity

I have come here to talk to you about

how I imagine this country will be like in the

future I imagined a country full of hope and

unity I imagined a country that could

achieve anything that they wanted but this

wonrsquot happen until we join forces and face

our problems together

I have come here before you to talk about

the problems

our great nation is in a

deeper hole than the black hole because there

is no hope and if there is no hope change is

impossible We will need to rise up against

dictators that want to control our every

move we will need to rise up against poverty

we will need to rise up against piracy in

order for this to happen we will need to unite

I have come here before you to talk about

a vision I had for the future of Somalia a

future as bright as the sun a future where

our kids can live without worrying about

clean water where our kids dont worry about

school where our children dont worry about

food But this vision will never see the light

unless we as a nation take down dictators

and make everyone equal And if all this

happens I promise you that Somalia will

become one of the most powerful nation in

the entire world

I have come here today to say that

today is the day that we will change the

course of our country and to stand up for

our right We refuse to be treated like a third

world country Are we going to sit here and

let dictators determine our fate Are we

going to live the rest of lives in worry Are we

going to give up on our country The answer

is no This is the day we will rise as one and

tackle our problems head on

Cubans You want your freedom and you want something done about that But here is the problem You canrsquot have freedom without a revolution against the oppressing system but without a sense of bravery you canrsquot rebel But what is bravery without truth You need to tell yourself the truth and the truth is that you are waiting for someone for an angel to come and save you from that hell full of its fallen brothers and sisters You want the fighter to have some empathy for you but what is empathy but the hope of someone to come and save you from your own mess And what is that person without compassion or without a feeling of caring What would happen if the people that help you get these luxuries disappeared To be

honest you will be doomed like the Romans were doomed centuries ago Right know you are like a strong flower which is dancing all over waiting to get what it needs but is soon bound to get pulled off the ground But there you are trusting these strangers to pick you up every time you fall even though they could leave you and let you to burn and rust whenever they want Whenever they get tired of saving you or maybe they dont have any more to give they will just leave you because you are not important to them You are just an advantage an advantage they could get rid of Thatrsquos why I say it is time to act know that the oppressing system isnt strong The people of Cuban society are hungry for a change and thirsty for a better life Itrsquos human nature

a pretty namersquo but I had to see her to

pushed it with all my might I tip-toed

over to the bed where my mom and

sister lay

There she was with her small eyes

and lips reflecting what was in front

of her like a crystal clean mirror I

peeked over at my mom who was

almost asleep because of her

exhaustion Then I stepped back to let

my sister and grandmother look at my

admirable new born sister My proud

dad walked over to them and talked

about how the birth went and the long

wait for it to happen At the corner of

my eye I spotted a huge window I

could see the parking lot and the

beautiful lake some 700 meters away

rdquoItrsquos a beautiful view from up hererdquo I

told my dad In that split second my

big sister crept over to me to admire

it as well The sun was bearing down

on us and it was becoming very hot

because of the midsummer warmth

There were only a few clouds and they

were as thick as cotton candy I could

honestly have eaten them I took a

seat in a small couch right in front of

us and then my dad asked if we

wanted to hold our little sister rdquoYesrdquo

We both exclaimed very excitingly

rdquoOkay but be very carefulrdquo He

scooped her up like an ice cream

spoon peeling up the ice cream and

then handed her over to us She had a

minute pink blanket over her to

protect her from the cold air around

her I started rocking her back and

forth as she was becoming

uncomfortable I looked at her

miniature fingers slowly coming to a

rest as she calmed down Without

notice I handed her over to my excited

sister

After a minute or so there was a

knock on the door Who could it be

Friends and family My dad crept

towards the door very quiet and

opened the creaking door In a split

second I knew who it was It was my

whole family Uncles aunts

grandfather and cousins I flew up

from my chair to say hello The next

thing I know is someone calling my

name Itrsquos my dadrsquos sister that has a

her It was I ripped off the paper like

a mad man and then I saw a toy

It looked like a Spitfire and it was so

breathtaking I gave her a big hug and

began playing with it From that day

worn out surfboards and seven

shabby looking boogie boards The

ocean seemed especially beautiful

that day and the water was the

most magnificent shade of blue It

really was like paradise with all the

palm trees and the smooth warm

sand We surfed all day not like

Mark Richards or anything In fact

we were really quite terrible at it

but it was one of those moments

where nothing in the world seemed

to matter

After swimming in the sea we

felt a bit yucky because of the salt

in the water So we wanted to take

a rinse but for some reason it was

all the way up by the road So we

ran barefoot across the dirt road

until we got to what looked like a

large tap We rinsed off but

because of the size it took forever

and in the time it took three huge

tourist busses passed by I realized

that this place was probably going

to become really touristy one day

and itrsquos a good thing I came before

the small island becomes too

cramped

We ate lunch in this really

cute hut It was a really nice place

it had coral mobiles everywhere

and smelt of the sea The food was

really good and we hung out on the

lounge chairs for a while eating lots

of crispy French fries and talking

about the usual random rubbish

Isabella and I always talk about

I dont remember what

happened after that but I do

remember how happy I was how I

just wanted to surf the waves

forever and lie in the sand until the

end of time But moments have to

pass Thatrsquos why we should enjoy

them All the little moments in life

should be enjoyed I do want to go

back to that little beach by the

jungle but Irsquom afraid that lombok

might start turning into a concrete

jungle full with grey skies and

murky waters But whatever

happens I know Irsquoll always have the

memory in my head

Book Suggestion

As a psychologist I would like to warmly

recommend Hans Christians Andersenrsquos

fairy tales stories fit for all ages HC

Andersens tales were read for me when I

was a child and I have often revisited

them in my work after I have spoken to

clients because they offer words and ideas

to psychological issues

Take for example the Little Mermaid A

tale is about a heroine with investigative

curiosity fascinated by the unknown and

intent on broadening her horizons She

has an intense longing to visit the world

above the sea by arranging the flowers in

her garden into the shape of the sun

listening to her grandmother and sisters

stories of the surface The world above

seems larger than her own and she wants

to know as much as she can about it

HC Andersen talks about things that

are on everyonersquos minds and yet he

makes it exciting and fantastic They are

short stories easy to read

Once upon a time there lived a girl

named Emily She lived with her parents

in a small little house Her family was a

little poor but not that much One day

while Emily was playing with her doll

she accidently threw it in the wall and

suddenly the wall began to open She

could not believe her eyes She got a

little scared but didnt start to yell She

wanted to keep this a secret She always

dreamed of having a new adventure so

she went inside She could not believe

her eyes when she saw fairies flying

around Some of the fairies were

working and the little ones were

playing And at that moment she saw

the most beautiful fairy that looked like

a 12-year-old girl just like Emily was

Emily forgot about everything she had

seen and just wanted to be her friend

but she couldnrsquot just go and say hello

because she was a fairy and Emily was a

human She thought that the fairy might

get scared but she always wanted a best

friend so she went to say hello to her

The fairy got a little scared but she

couldnrsquot believe her eyes that a real

human talked to her The fairy said hello

back to Emily the fairy asked Emily

how did she find the fairy world Emily

told the whole story about how did she

find the fairy world When she was

finished the whole story she asked the

fairy what was her name The fairy said

her name was Emma and asked whatrsquos

yours Emily told her name

Emily and Emma talked and talked

When Emily remembered that it had

been an hour since she was in the fairy

land Emily thought her parents might

be worried about her so Emily told

Emma that she needed to go home and

she would meet her the other day And

that is how the days went Emily would

always go to the fairy world and meet

Emma And soon the whole fairy world

new about Emily and they were not

scared of her They treated her like a

fairy But one day it all turned out the

other way While Emilyrsquos was mom

cooking in the kitchen the oven caught

fire Since the whole house was made

out of wood so the house burned down

very quickly The family didnt have

anywhere to live in Emily had to tell

her secret about the secret door to save

herself and her parents she showed

them the way to the fairy world she

throw a piece of wood to the wall and

the wall began to open her parents

could not believe it Emily ran to

Emma and told her what

happened Emma got upset about the

burned house very much Emily asked

Emma if she and her parents could live

there then she showed Emma her

parents coming towards Emma saw how

devastated they were and felt really

sorry for them She immediately went to

ask the fairy queen whether Emily and

her parents could stay there after long

hours of discussions and talk they

decided to let Emily and her parents

stay And they lived happily ever after

places I have lived I have lived in 4

different places I was born in

Kenya I stayed in Kenya for a

while From Kenya I moved to

Holland I moved to a city

called Rotterdam in

Holland I liked Holland

because the schools were

close to our home But

what I didnrsquot like was that

not so many people were

nice For example they

didnrsquot help when we

asked for help to find

places I had nice friends

to play with in Rotterdam

My Life Story Jeremiah Nyancho

OslashISIE -acuteOslashsterbro International School In English 49

When I was 6 years old I

moved to Copenhagen in Denmark

At the start we stayed in a hotel At

the very beginning I felt like I

wanted to go back to Kenya I

didnrsquot want to move The hard part

was packing When I had to say

goodbye it was ok but when my

sister had to say goodbye she

cried At the start in Copenhagen it

was hard taking trains to school

because I was learning how to take

a train Now I am 12 years old soon

13 in 4 months and I like it in

Copenhagen The people are

helpful I like the friends here they

are nice I think it is a nice thing to

move around When I am older and

I have a job I want to travel all

around the world I especially

would like to live in Rio

My two main interests are

sports and electronics My favorite

sports are basketball football and

swimming When I was 6 I liked

football then when I was 11 years

old I liked swimming and now that

I am 12 I started to like basketball

Sports make me who I am I used to

go to a swimming club and it was

hard from the beginning

Swimming is hard because it is

hard to cope with others who are

good and fast I used to play on a

football team and it was hard to

cope with the good footballers It

was boring without activities I

hope I join a new football club I

play basketball during breaks and

PE time and I want to keep playing

these sports in the future My

favorite electronics are IPad WII

and Nintendo DS I like these

because they are fun I use my IPad

for email and games Electronics

are part of my daily life

In conclusion my life is

being active and having fun My

family is important to my life I like

that my family are around the

world I have enjoyed moving to

different places The hard thing is

to say goodbye to friends I feel I

have a lot of interests I hope you

enjoyed my life story

Welcome brothers and sisters I have

come here before you to talk about our fellow

people being cut down like trees in the

Amazon rainforest and to talk about the

lives that could change Somalia If we

continue slaughtering our people like animals

at a slaughter house we will soon fade away

and no one will see what our people could

have achieved

I have come here before you because I

know I am in the right position to talk about

our people being slaughtered like meat Even

though I have never been to Somalia doesnt

mean I can help my country change forever I

cannot sleep knowing that I could have been

the change that our country needs the

Change that could determine the course of

our beautiful nation and the same change

that could help millions people

I have come here before you to say that if

we dont make a change now our country

will never develop because the people that

could change our nation forever are

immigrating because itrsquos not safe because we

dont have good schools because we dont have

unity

I have come here to talk to you about

how I imagine this country will be like in the

future I imagined a country full of hope and

unity I imagined a country that could

achieve anything that they wanted but this

wonrsquot happen until we join forces and face

our problems together

I have come here before you to talk about

the problems

our great nation is in a

deeper hole than the black hole because there

is no hope and if there is no hope change is

impossible We will need to rise up against

dictators that want to control our every

move we will need to rise up against poverty

we will need to rise up against piracy in

order for this to happen we will need to unite

I have come here before you to talk about

a vision I had for the future of Somalia a

future as bright as the sun a future where

our kids can live without worrying about

clean water where our kids dont worry about

school where our children dont worry about

food But this vision will never see the light

unless we as a nation take down dictators

and make everyone equal And if all this

happens I promise you that Somalia will

become one of the most powerful nation in

the entire world

I have come here today to say that

today is the day that we will change the

course of our country and to stand up for

our right We refuse to be treated like a third

world country Are we going to sit here and

let dictators determine our fate Are we

going to live the rest of lives in worry Are we

going to give up on our country The answer

is no This is the day we will rise as one and

tackle our problems head on

Cubans You want your freedom and you want something done about that But here is the problem You canrsquot have freedom without a revolution against the oppressing system but without a sense of bravery you canrsquot rebel But what is bravery without truth You need to tell yourself the truth and the truth is that you are waiting for someone for an angel to come and save you from that hell full of its fallen brothers and sisters You want the fighter to have some empathy for you but what is empathy but the hope of someone to come and save you from your own mess And what is that person without compassion or without a feeling of caring What would happen if the people that help you get these luxuries disappeared To be

honest you will be doomed like the Romans were doomed centuries ago Right know you are like a strong flower which is dancing all over waiting to get what it needs but is soon bound to get pulled off the ground But there you are trusting these strangers to pick you up every time you fall even though they could leave you and let you to burn and rust whenever they want Whenever they get tired of saving you or maybe they dont have any more to give they will just leave you because you are not important to them You are just an advantage an advantage they could get rid of Thatrsquos why I say it is time to act know that the oppressing system isnt strong The people of Cuban society are hungry for a change and thirsty for a better life Itrsquos human nature

Memoirs whispered and then I thought lsquoThatrsquos

a pretty namersquo but I had to see her to

see if she looked like the beautiful

name The door swooshed open as I

pushed it with all my might I tip-toed

over to the bed where my mom and

sister lay

There she was with her small eyes

and lips reflecting what was in front

of her like a crystal clean mirror I

peeked over at my mom who was

almost asleep because of her

exhaustion Then I stepped back to let

my sister and grandmother look at my

admirable new born sister My proud

dad walked over to them and talked

about how the birth went and the long

wait for it to happen At the corner of

my eye I spotted a huge window I

could see the parking lot and the

beautiful lake some 700 meters away

rdquoItrsquos a beautiful view from up hererdquo I

told my dad In that split second my

big sister crept over to me to admire

it as well The sun was bearing down

on us and it was becoming very hot

because of the midsummer warmth

There were only a few clouds and they

were as thick as cotton candy I could

honestly have eaten them I took a

seat in a small couch right in front of

us and then my dad asked if we

wanted to hold our little sister rdquoYesrdquo

We both exclaimed very excitingly

rdquoOkay but be very carefulrdquo He

scooped her up like an ice cream

spoon peeling up the ice cream and

then handed her over to us She had a

minute pink blanket over her to

protect her from the cold air around

her I started rocking her back and

forth as she was becoming

uncomfortable I looked at her

miniature fingers slowly coming to a

rest as she calmed down Without

notice I handed her over to my excited

sister

After a minute or so there was a

knock on the door Who could it be

Friends and family My dad crept

towards the door very quiet and

opened the creaking door In a split

second I knew who it was It was my

whole family Uncles aunts

grandfather and cousins I flew up

from my chair to say hello The next

thing I know is someone calling my

name Itrsquos my dadrsquos sister that has a

something in her hands a gift It must

be to me I thought as I hurried over to

her It was I ripped off the paper like

a mad man and then I saw a toy

airplane It was an old fighter aircraft

It looked like a Spitfire and it was so

breathtaking I gave her a big hug and

began playing with it From that day

on I have loved having a little sister

and I will definitely for the rest of my

life

Memoirs

In Bali there is a day in which it

is believed that devils come to the

island and look for life so everyone

has to be really quiet and use no

electricity so the devils think no

one lives on the island and they

will go away Itrsquos called Nyepi This

day is usually the most boring day

of the year but last Nyepi my

friend Isabella invited me to come

with her and her family to Lombok

where they dont celebrate Nyepi I

was really excited I packed a week

early and bought lots of snacks for

the trip It was a really short flight

from Bali to Lombok and we got

yucky chocolate pastry thingies I

dont really know what they were

and we got told off twice for being

too loud by this old lady sitting

next to us When we landed half

an hour later we went straight to

the hotel and had breakfast

On the first day we just

chilled at the hotel but the next

day we set off to a beach really far

A day at

the beach Ines Liokouras

OslashISIE -acuteOslashsterbro International School In English 23

Memoirs away While driving on the most

unbearable road I had ever driven

on we saw many peculiar things

People walking their cows and kids

running around barefoot banging

plastic bottles together to make

music It was a very uncomfortable

ride The air conditioner was

broken and it was extremely hot

outside The driver was playing

annoying K-pop music for the

whole three hour drive

The area where the beach was

located was a jungle and it didnt

look at all like a place where a

beach would be We rented four

worn out surfboards and seven

shabby looking boogie boards The

ocean seemed especially beautiful

that day and the water was the

most magnificent shade of blue It

really was like paradise with all the

palm trees and the smooth warm

sand We surfed all day not like

Mark Richards or anything In fact

we were really quite terrible at it

but it was one of those moments

where nothing in the world seemed

to matter

After swimming in the sea we

felt a bit yucky because of the salt

in the water So we wanted to take

a rinse but for some reason it was

all the way up by the road So we

ran barefoot across the dirt road

until we got to what looked like a

large tap We rinsed off but

because of the size it took forever

and in the time it took three huge

tourist busses passed by I realized

that this place was probably going

to become really touristy one day

and itrsquos a good thing I came before

the small island becomes too

cramped

We ate lunch in this really

cute hut It was a really nice place

it had coral mobiles everywhere

and smelt of the sea The food was

really good and we hung out on the

lounge chairs for a while eating lots

of crispy French fries and talking

about the usual random rubbish

Isabella and I always talk about

I dont remember what

happened after that but I do

remember how happy I was how I

just wanted to surf the waves

forever and lie in the sand until the

end of time But moments have to

pass Thatrsquos why we should enjoy

them All the little moments in life

should be enjoyed I do want to go

back to that little beach by the

jungle but Irsquom afraid that lombok

might start turning into a concrete

jungle full with grey skies and

murky waters But whatever

happens I know Irsquoll always have the

memory in my head

Book Suggestion

As a psychologist I would like to warmly

recommend Hans Christians Andersenrsquos

fairy tales stories fit for all ages HC

Andersens tales were read for me when I

was a child and I have often revisited

them in my work after I have spoken to

clients because they offer words and ideas

to psychological issues

Take for example the Little Mermaid A

tale is about a heroine with investigative

curiosity fascinated by the unknown and

intent on broadening her horizons She

has an intense longing to visit the world

above the sea by arranging the flowers in

her garden into the shape of the sun

listening to her grandmother and sisters

stories of the surface The world above

seems larger than her own and she wants

to know as much as she can about it

HC Andersen talks about things that

are on everyonersquos minds and yet he

makes it exciting and fantastic They are

short stories easy to read

Once upon a time there lived a girl

named Emily She lived with her parents

in a small little house Her family was a

little poor but not that much One day

while Emily was playing with her doll

she accidently threw it in the wall and

suddenly the wall began to open She

could not believe her eyes She got a

little scared but didnt start to yell She

wanted to keep this a secret She always

dreamed of having a new adventure so

she went inside She could not believe

her eyes when she saw fairies flying

around Some of the fairies were

working and the little ones were

playing And at that moment she saw

the most beautiful fairy that looked like

a 12-year-old girl just like Emily was

Emily forgot about everything she had

seen and just wanted to be her friend

but she couldnrsquot just go and say hello

because she was a fairy and Emily was a

human She thought that the fairy might

get scared but she always wanted a best

friend so she went to say hello to her

The fairy got a little scared but she

couldnrsquot believe her eyes that a real

human talked to her The fairy said hello

back to Emily the fairy asked Emily

how did she find the fairy world Emily

told the whole story about how did she

find the fairy world When she was

finished the whole story she asked the

fairy what was her name The fairy said

her name was Emma and asked whatrsquos

yours Emily told her name

Emily and Emma talked and talked

When Emily remembered that it had

been an hour since she was in the fairy

land Emily thought her parents might

be worried about her so Emily told

Emma that she needed to go home and

she would meet her the other day And

that is how the days went Emily would

always go to the fairy world and meet

Emma And soon the whole fairy world

new about Emily and they were not

scared of her They treated her like a

fairy But one day it all turned out the

other way While Emilyrsquos was mom

cooking in the kitchen the oven caught

fire Since the whole house was made

out of wood so the house burned down

very quickly The family didnt have

anywhere to live in Emily had to tell

her secret about the secret door to save

herself and her parents she showed

them the way to the fairy world she

throw a piece of wood to the wall and

the wall began to open her parents

could not believe it Emily ran to

Emma and told her what

happened Emma got upset about the

burned house very much Emily asked

Emma if she and her parents could live

there then she showed Emma her

parents coming towards Emma saw how

devastated they were and felt really

sorry for them She immediately went to

ask the fairy queen whether Emily and

her parents could stay there after long

hours of discussions and talk they

decided to let Emily and her parents

stay And they lived happily ever after

different places I was born in

Kenya I stayed in Kenya for a

while From Kenya I moved to

Holland I moved to a city

places I had nice friends

to play with in Rotterdam

My Life Story Jeremiah Nyancho

OslashISIE -acuteOslashsterbro International School In English 49

When I was 6 years old I

moved to Copenhagen in Denmark

At the start we stayed in a hotel At

the very beginning I felt like I

wanted to go back to Kenya I

didnrsquot want to move The hard part

was packing When I had to say

goodbye it was ok but when my

sister had to say goodbye she

cried At the start in Copenhagen it

was hard taking trains to school

because I was learning how to take

a train Now I am 12 years old soon

13 in 4 months and I like it in

Copenhagen The people are

helpful I like the friends here they

are nice I think it is a nice thing to

move around When I am older and

I have a job I want to travel all

around the world I especially

would like to live in Rio

My two main interests are

sports and electronics My favorite

sports are basketball football and

swimming When I was 6 I liked

football then when I was 11 years

old I liked swimming and now that

I am 12 I started to like basketball

Sports make me who I am I used to

go to a swimming club and it was

hard from the beginning

Swimming is hard because it is

hard to cope with others who are

good and fast I used to play on a

football team and it was hard to

cope with the good footballers It

was boring without activities I

hope I join a new football club I

play basketball during breaks and

PE time and I want to keep playing

these sports in the future My

favorite electronics are IPad WII

and Nintendo DS I like these

because they are fun I use my IPad

for email and games Electronics

are part of my daily life

In conclusion my life is

being active and having fun My

family is important to my life I like

that my family are around the

world I have enjoyed moving to

different places The hard thing is

to say goodbye to friends I feel I

have a lot of interests I hope you

enjoyed my life story

Welcome brothers and sisters I have

come here before you to talk about our fellow

people being cut down like trees in the

Amazon rainforest and to talk about the

lives that could change Somalia If we

continue slaughtering our people like animals

at a slaughter house we will soon fade away

and no one will see what our people could

have achieved

I have come here before you because I

know I am in the right position to talk about

our people being slaughtered like meat Even

though I have never been to Somalia doesnt

mean I can help my country change forever I

cannot sleep knowing that I could have been

the change that our country needs the

Change that could determine the course of

our beautiful nation and the same change

that could help millions people

I have come here before you to say that if

we dont make a change now our country

will never develop because the people that

could change our nation forever are

immigrating because itrsquos not safe because we

dont have good schools because we dont have

unity

I have come here to talk to you about

how I imagine this country will be like in the

future I imagined a country full of hope and

unity I imagined a country that could

achieve anything that they wanted but this

wonrsquot happen until we join forces and face

our problems together

I have come here before you to talk about

the problems

our great nation is in a

deeper hole than the black hole because there

is no hope and if there is no hope change is

impossible We will need to rise up against

dictators that want to control our every

move we will need to rise up against poverty

we will need to rise up against piracy in

order for this to happen we will need to unite

I have come here before you to talk about

a vision I had for the future of Somalia a

future as bright as the sun a future where

our kids can live without worrying about

clean water where our kids dont worry about

school where our children dont worry about

food But this vision will never see the light

unless we as a nation take down dictators

and make everyone equal And if all this

happens I promise you that Somalia will

become one of the most powerful nation in

the entire world

I have come here today to say that

today is the day that we will change the

course of our country and to stand up for

our right We refuse to be treated like a third

world country Are we going to sit here and

let dictators determine our fate Are we

going to live the rest of lives in worry Are we

going to give up on our country The answer

is no This is the day we will rise as one and

tackle our problems head on

Cubans You want your freedom and you want something done about that But here is the problem You canrsquot have freedom without a revolution against the oppressing system but without a sense of bravery you canrsquot rebel But what is bravery without truth You need to tell yourself the truth and the truth is that you are waiting for someone for an angel to come and save you from that hell full of its fallen brothers and sisters You want the fighter to have some empathy for you but what is empathy but the hope of someone to come and save you from your own mess And what is that person without compassion or without a feeling of caring What would happen if the people that help you get these luxuries disappeared To be

honest you will be doomed like the Romans were doomed centuries ago Right know you are like a strong flower which is dancing all over waiting to get what it needs but is soon bound to get pulled off the ground But there you are trusting these strangers to pick you up every time you fall even though they could leave you and let you to burn and rust whenever they want Whenever they get tired of saving you or maybe they dont have any more to give they will just leave you because you are not important to them You are just an advantage an advantage they could get rid of Thatrsquos why I say it is time to act know that the oppressing system isnt strong The people of Cuban society are hungry for a change and thirsty for a better life Itrsquos human nature

to back down to safety when the road gets tough and the system puts rules and consequences But I say that we should break that pattern because itrsquos about time that we break the rules and be brave and demand our freedom and equality I pledge towards the women in white asking for their freedom and their husbands and family to start this revolution I pledge towards all workers that have gone hungry for days because even if you worked and studied and have a career you are still living the worst life without enough food to give to your kids You only get twenty dollars a month I pledge to the kids to go to the Manecon and stare at the sea wondering what is out there I pledge to artists that dont have a chance to show the world their magic or that canrsquot get a better job overseas I pledge to the people that ended up in jail because they went to a beach for tourists And I pledge to all of you because you have lived this life but we are strong know So I say we pick up our flags and posts I say we march down the hot streets of Havana I say we break the

unreasonable rules I say we should read from the newspaper of other countries I say we learn from and start respecting the Yankees I say we fight for the freedom to pick the system we need and we want So help me even if you think that Im crazy for asking this because I am not going to wait Are you going to wait for them to come or are you going to act know You are probably asking Who is this girl to talk for us Who is this Latina here for But I have lived like you I have walked like you I have felt your pain I have listen to you You might still think that I am crazy but I have seen how you live and the things that you are missing because of your life style Many of you want to know more ndash more countries more culture ndash but you canrsquot because of how you are living I have felt your pain I have walked with you side to side and I have fought with you as well I am willing to fight with you again no matter what the consequences will be for me

inform us that we were at our

the giant elevator and started making

my way to the room staying right

behind my sister and grandmother I

could hear my shoes creaking as I

increased the tempo as I couldnrsquot

wait to see my new born sister As I

peeked around the corner I could see

my dad opening the huge door

extremely quiet not to make my

exhausted mom annoyed of all the

noises My sister and I skipped happily

to the door as my dad announced my

OslashISIE -acuteOslashsterbro International School In English 21

Memoirs whispered and then I thought lsquoThatrsquos

a pretty namersquo but I had to see her to

see if she looked like the beautiful

name The door swooshed open as I

pushed it with all my might I tip-toed

over to the bed where my mom and

sister lay

There she was with her small eyes

and lips reflecting what was in front

of her like a crystal clean mirror I

peeked over at my mom who was

almost asleep because of her

exhaustion Then I stepped back to let

my sister and grandmother look at my

admirable new born sister My proud

dad walked over to them and talked

about how the birth went and the long

wait for it to happen At the corner of

my eye I spotted a huge window I

could see the parking lot and the

beautiful lake some 700 meters away

rdquoItrsquos a beautiful view from up hererdquo I

told my dad In that split second my

big sister crept over to me to admire

it as well The sun was bearing down

on us and it was becoming very hot

because of the midsummer warmth

There were only a few clouds and they

were as thick as cotton candy I could

honestly have eaten them I took a

seat in a small couch right in front of

us and then my dad asked if we

wanted to hold our little sister rdquoYesrdquo

We both exclaimed very excitingly

rdquoOkay but be very carefulrdquo He

scooped her up like an ice cream

spoon peeling up the ice cream and

then handed her over to us She had a

minute pink blanket over her to

protect her from the cold air around

her I started rocking her back and

forth as she was becoming

uncomfortable I looked at her

miniature fingers slowly coming to a

rest as she calmed down Without

notice I handed her over to my excited

sister

After a minute or so there was a

knock on the door Who could it be

Friends and family My dad crept

towards the door very quiet and

opened the creaking door In a split

second I knew who it was It was my

whole family Uncles aunts

grandfather and cousins I flew up

from my chair to say hello The next

thing I know is someone calling my

name Itrsquos my dadrsquos sister that has a

something in her hands a gift It must

be to me I thought as I hurried over to

her It was I ripped off the paper like

a mad man and then I saw a toy

airplane It was an old fighter aircraft

It looked like a Spitfire and it was so

breathtaking I gave her a big hug and

began playing with it From that day

on I have loved having a little sister

and I will definitely for the rest of my

Memoirs

In Bali there is a day in which it

is believed that devils come to the

island and look for life so everyone

has to be really quiet and use no

electricity so the devils think no

one lives on the island and they

will go away Itrsquos called Nyepi This

day is usually the most boring day

of the year but last Nyepi my

friend Isabella invited me to come

with her and her family to Lombok

where they dont celebrate Nyepi I

was really excited I packed a week

early and bought lots of snacks for

the trip It was a really short flight

from Bali to Lombok and we got

yucky chocolate pastry thingies I

dont really know what they were

and we got told off twice for being

too loud by this old lady sitting

next to us When we landed half

an hour later we went straight to

the hotel and had breakfast

On the first day we just

chilled at the hotel but the next

day we set off to a beach really far

A day at

the beach Ines Liokouras

OslashISIE -acuteOslashsterbro International School In English 23

Memoirs away While driving on the most

unbearable road I had ever driven

on we saw many peculiar things

People walking their cows and kids

running around barefoot banging

plastic bottles together to make

music It was a very uncomfortable

ride The air conditioner was

broken and it was extremely hot

outside The driver was playing

annoying K-pop music for the

whole three hour drive

The area where the beach was

located was a jungle and it didnt

look at all like a place where a

beach would be We rented four

worn out surfboards and seven

shabby looking boogie boards The

ocean seemed especially beautiful

that day and the water was the

most magnificent shade of blue It

really was like paradise with all the

palm trees and the smooth warm

sand We surfed all day not like

Mark Richards or anything In fact

we were really quite terrible at it

but it was one of those moments

where nothing in the world seemed

to matter

After swimming in the sea we

felt a bit yucky because of the salt

in the water So we wanted to take

a rinse but for some reason it was

all the way up by the road So we

ran barefoot across the dirt road

until we got to what looked like a

large tap We rinsed off but

because of the size it took forever

and in the time it took three huge

tourist busses passed by I realized

that this place was probably going

to become really touristy one day

and itrsquos a good thing I came before

the small island becomes too

cramped

We ate lunch in this really

cute hut It was a really nice place

it had coral mobiles everywhere

and smelt of the sea The food was

really good and we hung out on the

lounge chairs for a while eating lots

of crispy French fries and talking

about the usual random rubbish

Isabella and I always talk about

I dont remember what

happened after that but I do

remember how happy I was how I

just wanted to surf the waves

forever and lie in the sand until the

end of time But moments have to

pass Thatrsquos why we should enjoy

them All the little moments in life

should be enjoyed I do want to go

back to that little beach by the

jungle but Irsquom afraid that lombok

might start turning into a concrete

jungle full with grey skies and

murky waters But whatever

happens I know Irsquoll always have the

memory in my head

Book Suggestion

As a psychologist I would like to warmly

recommend Hans Christians Andersenrsquos

fairy tales stories fit for all ages HC

Andersens tales were read for me when I

was a child and I have often revisited

them in my work after I have spoken to

clients because they offer words and ideas

to psychological issues

Take for example the Little Mermaid A

tale is about a heroine with investigative

curiosity fascinated by the unknown and

intent on broadening her horizons She

has an intense longing to visit the world

above the sea by arranging the flowers in

her garden into the shape of the sun

listening to her grandmother and sisters

stories of the surface The world above

seems larger than her own and she wants

to know as much as she can about it

HC Andersen talks about things that

are on everyonersquos minds and yet he

makes it exciting and fantastic They are

short stories easy to read

Once upon a time there lived a girl

named Emily She lived with her parents

in a small little house Her family was a

little poor but not that much One day

while Emily was playing with her doll

she accidently threw it in the wall and

suddenly the wall began to open She

could not believe her eyes She got a

little scared but didnt start to yell She

wanted to keep this a secret She always

dreamed of having a new adventure so

she went inside She could not believe

her eyes when she saw fairies flying

around Some of the fairies were

working and the little ones were

playing And at that moment she saw

the most beautiful fairy that looked like

a 12-year-old girl just like Emily was

Emily forgot about everything she had

seen and just wanted to be her friend

but she couldnrsquot just go and say hello

because she was a fairy and Emily was a

human She thought that the fairy might

get scared but she always wanted a best

friend so she went to say hello to her

The fairy got a little scared but she

couldnrsquot believe her eyes that a real

human talked to her The fairy said hello

back to Emily the fairy asked Emily

how did she find the fairy world Emily

told the whole story about how did she

find the fairy world When she was

finished the whole story she asked the

fairy what was her name The fairy said

her name was Emma and asked whatrsquos

yours Emily told her name

Emily and Emma talked and talked

When Emily remembered that it had

been an hour since she was in the fairy

land Emily thought her parents might

be worried about her so Emily told

Emma that she needed to go home and

she would meet her the other day And

that is how the days went Emily would

always go to the fairy world and meet

Emma And soon the whole fairy world

new about Emily and they were not

scared of her They treated her like a

fairy But one day it all turned out the

other way While Emilyrsquos was mom

cooking in the kitchen the oven caught

fire Since the whole house was made

out of wood so the house burned down

very quickly The family didnt have

anywhere to live in Emily had to tell

her secret about the secret door to save

herself and her parents she showed

them the way to the fairy world she

throw a piece of wood to the wall and

the wall began to open her parents

could not believe it Emily ran to

Emma and told her what

happened Emma got upset about the

burned house very much Emily asked

Emma if she and her parents could live

there then she showed Emma her

parents coming towards Emma saw how

devastated they were and felt really

sorry for them She immediately went to

ask the fairy queen whether Emily and

her parents could stay there after long

hours of discussions and talk they

decided to let Emily and her parents

places I have lived I have lived in 4

different places I was born in

Kenya I stayed in Kenya for a

while From Kenya I moved to

Holland I moved to a city

called Rotterdam in

Holland I liked Holland

because the schools were

close to our home But

what I didnrsquot like was that

not so many people were

nice For example they

didnrsquot help when we

asked for help to find

places I had nice friends

to play with in Rotterdam

My Life Story Jeremiah Nyancho

OslashISIE -acuteOslashsterbro International School In English 49

When I was 6 years old I

moved to Copenhagen in Denmark

At the start we stayed in a hotel At

the very beginning I felt like I

wanted to go back to Kenya I

didnrsquot want to move The hard part

was packing When I had to say

goodbye it was ok but when my

sister had to say goodbye she

cried At the start in Copenhagen it

was hard taking trains to school

because I was learning how to take

a train Now I am 12 years old soon

13 in 4 months and I like it in

Copenhagen The people are

helpful I like the friends here they

are nice I think it is a nice thing to

move around When I am older and

I have a job I want to travel all

around the world I especially

would like to live in Rio

My two main interests are

sports and electronics My favorite

sports are basketball football and

swimming When I was 6 I liked

football then when I was 11 years

old I liked swimming and now that

I am 12 I started to like basketball

Sports make me who I am I used to

go to a swimming club and it was

hard from the beginning

Swimming is hard because it is

hard to cope with others who are

good and fast I used to play on a

football team and it was hard to

cope with the good footballers It

was boring without activities I

hope I join a new football club I

play basketball during breaks and

PE time and I want to keep playing

these sports in the future My

favorite electronics are IPad WII

and Nintendo DS I like these

because they are fun I use my IPad

for email and games Electronics

are part of my daily life

In conclusion my life is

being active and having fun My

family is important to my life I like

that my family are around the

world I have enjoyed moving to

different places The hard thing is

to say goodbye to friends I feel I

have a lot of interests I hope you

enjoyed my life story

I have come here before you because I

know I am in the right position to talk about

our people being slaughtered like meat Even

though I have never been to Somalia doesnt

mean I can help my country change forever I

cannot sleep knowing that I could have been

the change that our country needs the

Change that could determine the course of

our beautiful nation and the same change

that could help millions people

I have come here before you to say that if

we dont make a change now our country

will never develop because the people that

could change our nation forever are

immigrating because itrsquos not safe because we

dont have good schools because we dont have

unity

I have come here to talk to you about

how I imagine this country will be like in the

future I imagined a country full of hope and

unity I imagined a country that could

achieve anything that they wanted but this

wonrsquot happen until we join forces and face

our problems together

I have come here before you to talk about

the problems

our great nation is in a

deeper hole than the black hole because there

is no hope and if there is no hope change is

impossible We will need to rise up against

dictators that want to control our every

move we will need to rise up against poverty

we will need to rise up against piracy in

order for this to happen we will need to unite

I have come here before you to talk about

a vision I had for the future of Somalia a

future as bright as the sun a future where

our kids can live without worrying about

clean water where our kids dont worry about

school where our children dont worry about

food But this vision will never see the light

unless we as a nation take down dictators

and make everyone equal And if all this

happens I promise you that Somalia will

become one of the most powerful nation in

the entire world

I have come here today to say that

today is the day that we will change the

course of our country and to stand up for

our right We refuse to be treated like a third

world country Are we going to sit here and

let dictators determine our fate Are we

going to live the rest of lives in worry Are we

going to give up on our country The answer

is no This is the day we will rise as one and

tackle our problems head on

Cubans You want your freedom and you want something done about that But here is the problem You canrsquot have freedom without a revolution against the oppressing system but without a sense of bravery you canrsquot rebel But what is bravery without truth You need to tell yourself the truth and the truth is that you are waiting for someone for an angel to come and save you from that hell full of its fallen brothers and sisters You want the fighter to have some empathy for you but what is empathy but the hope of someone to come and save you from your own mess And what is that person without compassion or without a feeling of caring What would happen if the people that help you get these luxuries disappeared To be

honest you will be doomed like the Romans were doomed centuries ago Right know you are like a strong flower which is dancing all over waiting to get what it needs but is soon bound to get pulled off the ground But there you are trusting these strangers to pick you up every time you fall even though they could leave you and let you to burn and rust whenever they want Whenever they get tired of saving you or maybe they dont have any more to give they will just leave you because you are not important to them You are just an advantage an advantage they could get rid of Thatrsquos why I say it is time to act know that the oppressing system isnt strong The people of Cuban society are hungry for a change and thirsty for a better life Itrsquos human nature

a pretty namersquo but I had to see her to

over to the bed where my mom and

There she was with her small eyes

and lips reflecting what was in front

of her like a crystal clean mirror I

peeked over at my mom who was

almost asleep because of her

exhaustion Then I stepped back to let

my sister and grandmother look at my

admirable new born sister My proud

dad walked over to them and talked

about how the birth went and the long

wait for it to happen At the corner of

my eye I spotted a huge window I

could see the parking lot and the

beautiful lake some 700 meters away

rdquoItrsquos a beautiful view from up hererdquo I

told my dad In that split second my

big sister crept over to me to admire

it as well The sun was bearing down

on us and it was becoming very hot

because of the midsummer warmth

There were only a few clouds and they

were as thick as cotton candy I could

honestly have eaten them I took a

seat in a small couch right in front of

us and then my dad asked if we

wanted to hold our little sister rdquoYesrdquo

We both exclaimed very excitingly

rdquoOkay but be very carefulrdquo He

scooped her up like an ice cream

spoon peeling up the ice cream and

then handed her over to us She had a

minute pink blanket over her to

protect her from the cold air around

her I started rocking her back and

forth as she was becoming

uncomfortable I looked at her

miniature fingers slowly coming to a

rest as she calmed down Without

notice I handed her over to my excited

sister

After a minute or so there was a

knock on the door Who could it be

Friends and family My dad crept

towards the door very quiet and

opened the creaking door In a split

In Bali there is a day in which it

is believed that devils come to the

island and look for life so everyone

has to be really quiet and use no

electricity so the devils think no

one lives on the island and they

will go away Itrsquos called Nyepi This

day is usually the most boring day

of the year but last Nyepi my

friend Isabella invited me to come

with her and her family to Lombok

where they dont celebrate Nyepi I

was really excited I packed a week

early and bought lots of snacks for

the trip It was a really short flight

from Bali to Lombok and we got

yucky chocolate pastry thingies I

dont really know what they were

and we got told off twice for being

too loud by this old lady sitting

next to us When we landed half

an hour later we went straight to

On the first day we just

chilled at the hotel but the next

day we set off to a beach really far

A day at

the beach Ines Liokouras

OslashISIE -acuteOslashsterbro International School In English 23

Memoirs away While driving on the most

unbearable road I had ever driven

on we saw many peculiar things

People walking their cows and kids

running around barefoot banging

plastic bottles together to make

music It was a very uncomfortable

ride The air conditioner was

broken and it was extremely hot

outside The driver was playing

annoying K-pop music for the

whole three hour drive

The area where the beach was

located was a jungle and it didnt

look at all like a place where a

beach would be We rented four

worn out surfboards and seven

shabby looking boogie boards The

ocean seemed especially beautiful

that day and the water was the

most magnificent shade of blue It

really was like paradise with all the

palm trees and the smooth warm

sand We surfed all day not like

Mark Richards or anything In fact

we were really quite terrible at it

but it was one of those moments

where nothing in the world seemed

to matter

After swimming in the sea we

felt a bit yucky because of the salt

in the water So we wanted to take

a rinse but for some reason it was

all the way up by the road So we

ran barefoot across the dirt road

until we got to what looked like a

large tap We rinsed off but

because of the size it took forever

and in the time it took three huge

tourist busses passed by I realized

that this place was probably going

to become really touristy one day

and itrsquos a good thing I came before

the small island becomes too

cramped

We ate lunch in this really

cute hut It was a really nice place

it had coral mobiles everywhere

and smelt of the sea The food was

really good and we hung out on the

lounge chairs for a while eating lots

of crispy French fries and talking

about the usual random rubbish

Isabella and I always talk about

I dont remember what

happened after that but I do

remember how happy I was how I

just wanted to surf the waves

forever and lie in the sand until the

end of time But moments have to

pass Thatrsquos why we should enjoy

them All the little moments in life

should be enjoyed I do want to go

back to that little beach by the

jungle but Irsquom afraid that lombok

might start turning into a concrete

jungle full with grey skies and

murky waters But whatever

happens I know Irsquoll always have the

Book Suggestion

As a psychologist I would like to warmly

recommend Hans Christians Andersenrsquos

fairy tales stories fit for all ages HC

Andersens tales were read for me when I

was a child and I have often revisited

them in my work after I have spoken to

clients because they offer words and ideas

to psychological issues

Take for example the Little Mermaid A

tale is about a heroine with investigative

curiosity fascinated by the unknown and

intent on broadening her horizons She

has an intense longing to visit the world

above the sea by arranging the flowers in

her garden into the shape of the sun

listening to her grandmother and sisters

stories of the surface The world above

seems larger than her own and she wants

to know as much as she can about it

HC Andersen talks about things that

are on everyonersquos minds and yet he

makes it exciting and fantastic They are

short stories easy to read

suddenly the wall began to open She

could not believe her eyes She got a

little scared but didnt start to yell She

wanted to keep this a secret She always

dreamed of having a new adventure so

she went inside She could not believe

her eyes when she saw fairies flying

around Some of the fairies were

working and the little ones were

playing And at that moment she saw

the most beautiful fairy that looked like

a 12-year-old girl just like Emily was

Emily forgot about everything she had

seen and just wanted to be her friend

but she couldnrsquot just go and say hello

because she was a fairy and Emily was a

human She thought that the fairy might

get scared but she always wanted a best

friend so she went to say hello to her

The fairy got a little scared but she

couldnrsquot believe her eyes that a real

human talked to her The fairy said hello

back to Emily the fairy asked Emily

how did she find the fairy world Emily

told the whole story about how did she

find the fairy world When she was

finished the whole story she asked the

fairy what was her name The fairy said

her name was Emma and asked whatrsquos

yours Emily told her name

Emily and Emma talked and talked

When Emily remembered that it had

been an hour since she was in the fairy

land Emily thought her parents might

be worried about her so Emily told

Emma that she needed to go home and

she would meet her the other day And

that is how the days went Emily would

always go to the fairy world and meet

Emma And soon the whole fairy world

new about Emily and they were not

scared of her They treated her like a

fairy But one day it all turned out the

other way While Emilyrsquos was mom

cooking in the kitchen the oven caught

fire Since the whole house was made

out of wood so the house burned down

very quickly The family didnt have

anywhere to live in Emily had to tell

her secret about the secret door to save

herself and her parents she showed

different places I was born in

Kenya I stayed in Kenya for a

while From Kenya I moved to

Holland I moved to a city

My Life Story Jeremiah Nyancho

OslashISIE -acuteOslashsterbro International School In English 49

When I was 6 years old I

moved to Copenhagen in Denmark

At the start we stayed in a hotel At

the very beginning I felt like I

wanted to go back to Kenya I

didnrsquot want to move The hard part

was packing When I had to say

goodbye it was ok but when my

sister had to say goodbye she

cried At the start in Copenhagen it

was hard taking trains to school

because I was learning how to take

a train Now I am 12 years old soon

13 in 4 months and I like it in

Copenhagen The people are

helpful I like the friends here they

are nice I think it is a nice thing to

move around When I am older and

I have a job I want to travel all

around the world I especially

would like to live in Rio

My two main interests are

sports and electronics My favorite

sports are basketball football and

swimming When I was 6 I liked

football then when I was 11 years

old I liked swimming and now that

I am 12 I started to like basketball

Sports make me who I am I used to

go to a swimming club and it was

hard from the beginning

Swimming is hard because it is

hard to cope with others who are

good and fast I used to play on a

football team and it was hard to

cope with the good footballers It

was boring without activities I

hope I join a new football club I

play basketball during breaks and

PE time and I want to keep playing

these sports in the future My

favorite electronics are IPad WII

and Nintendo DS I like these

because they are fun I use my IPad

for email and games Electronics

are part of my daily life

In conclusion my life is

being active and having fun My

family is important to my life I like

that my family are around the

world I have enjoyed moving to

different places The hard thing is

to say goodbye to friends I feel I

have a lot of interests I hope you

enjoyed my life story

Welcome brothers and sisters I have

come here before you to talk about our fellow

people being cut down like trees in the

Amazon rainforest and to talk about the

lives that could change Somalia If we

continue slaughtering our people like animals

at a slaughter house we will soon fade away

and no one will see what our people could

have achieved

I have come here before you because I

know I am in the right position to talk about

our people being slaughtered like meat Even

though I have never been to Somalia doesnt

mean I can help my country change forever I

cannot sleep knowing that I could have been

the change that our country needs the

Change that could determine the course of

our beautiful nation and the same change

that could help millions people

I have come here before you to say that if

we dont make a change now our country

will never develop because the people that

could change our nation forever are

immigrating because itrsquos not safe because we

dont have good schools because we dont have

unity

I have come here to talk to you about

how I imagine this country will be like in the

future I imagined a country full of hope and

unity I imagined a country that could

achieve anything that they wanted but this

wonrsquot happen until we join forces and face

our problems together

I have come here before you to talk about

the problems

our great nation is in a

deeper hole than the black hole because there

is no hope and if there is no hope change is

impossible We will need to rise up against

dictators that want to control our every

move we will need to rise up against poverty

we will need to rise up against piracy in

order for this to happen we will need to unite

I have come here before you to talk about

a vision I had for the future of Somalia a

future as bright as the sun a future where

our kids can live without worrying about

clean water where our kids dont worry about

school where our children dont worry about

food But this vision will never see the light

unless we as a nation take down dictators

and make everyone equal And if all this

happens I promise you that Somalia will

become one of the most powerful nation in

the entire world

I have come here today to say that

today is the day that we will change the

course of our country and to stand up for

our right We refuse to be treated like a third

world country Are we going to sit here and

let dictators determine our fate Are we

going to live the rest of lives in worry Are we

going to give up on our country The answer

is no This is the day we will rise as one and

tackle our problems head on

Cubans You want your freedom and you want something done about that But here is the problem You canrsquot have freedom without a revolution against the oppressing system but without a sense of bravery you canrsquot rebel But what is bravery without truth You need to tell yourself the truth and the truth is that you are waiting for someone for an angel to come and save you from that hell full of its fallen brothers and sisters You want the fighter to have some empathy for you but what is empathy but the hope of someone to come and save you from your own mess And what is that person without compassion or without a feeling of caring What would happen if the people that help you get these luxuries disappeared To be

honest you will be doomed like the Romans were doomed centuries ago Right know you are like a strong flower which is dancing all over waiting to get what it needs but is soon bound to get pulled off the ground But there you are trusting these strangers to pick you up every time you fall even though they could leave you and let you to burn and rust whenever they want Whenever they get tired of saving you or maybe they dont have any more to give they will just leave you because you are not important to them You are just an advantage an advantage they could get rid of Thatrsquos why I say it is time to act know that the oppressing system isnt strong The people of Cuban society are hungry for a change and thirsty for a better life Itrsquos human nature

wait to see my new born sister As I

peeked around the corner I could see

Memoirs whispered and then I thought lsquoThatrsquos

a pretty namersquo but I had to see her to

see if she looked like the beautiful

name The door swooshed open as I

pushed it with all my might I tip-toed

over to the bed where my mom and

sister lay

There she was with her small eyes

and lips reflecting what was in front

of her like a crystal clean mirror I

peeked over at my mom who was

almost asleep because of her

exhaustion Then I stepped back to let

my sister and grandmother look at my

admirable new born sister My proud

dad walked over to them and talked

about how the birth went and the long

wait for it to happen At the corner of

my eye I spotted a huge window I

could see the parking lot and the

beautiful lake some 700 meters away

rdquoItrsquos a beautiful view from up hererdquo I

told my dad In that split second my

big sister crept over to me to admire

it as well The sun was bearing down

on us and it was becoming very hot

because of the midsummer warmth

There were only a few clouds and they

were as thick as cotton candy I could

honestly have eaten them I took a

seat in a small couch right in front of

us and then my dad asked if we

wanted to hold our little sister rdquoYesrdquo

We both exclaimed very excitingly

rdquoOkay but be very carefulrdquo He

scooped her up like an ice cream

spoon peeling up the ice cream and

then handed her over to us She had a

minute pink blanket over her to

protect her from the cold air around

her I started rocking her back and

forth as she was becoming

uncomfortable I looked at her

miniature fingers slowly coming to a

rest as she calmed down Without

notice I handed her over to my excited

sister

After a minute or so there was a

knock on the door Who could it be

Friends and family My dad crept

towards the door very quiet and

opened the creaking door In a split

second I knew who it was It was my

whole family Uncles aunts

grandfather and cousins I flew up

from my chair to say hello The next

thing I know is someone calling my

name Itrsquos my dadrsquos sister that has a

her It was I ripped off the paper like

In Bali there is a day in which it

is believed that devils come to the

island and look for life so everyone

has to be really quiet and use no

electricity so the devils think no

one lives on the island and they

will go away Itrsquos called Nyepi This

day is usually the most boring day

of the year but last Nyepi my

friend Isabella invited me to come

with her and her family to Lombok

where they dont celebrate Nyepi I

was really excited I packed a week

early and bought lots of snacks for

the trip It was a really short flight

from Bali to Lombok and we got

yucky chocolate pastry thingies I

dont really know what they were

and we got told off twice for being

too loud by this old lady sitting

next to us When we landed half

an hour later we went straight to

the hotel and had breakfast

On the first day we just

chilled at the hotel but the next

day we set off to a beach really far

A day at

the beach Ines Liokouras

OslashISIE -acuteOslashsterbro International School In English 23

Memoirs away While driving on the most

unbearable road I had ever driven

on we saw many peculiar things

People walking their cows and kids

running around barefoot banging

plastic bottles together to make

music It was a very uncomfortable

ride The air conditioner was

broken and it was extremely hot

outside The driver was playing

annoying K-pop music for the

whole three hour drive

The area where the beach was

located was a jungle and it didnt

look at all like a place where a

beach would be We rented four

worn out surfboards and seven

shabby looking boogie boards The

ocean seemed especially beautiful

that day and the water was the

most magnificent shade of blue It

really was like paradise with all the

palm trees and the smooth warm

sand We surfed all day not like

Mark Richards or anything In fact

we were really quite terrible at it

but it was one of those moments

where nothing in the world seemed

to matter

After swimming in the sea we

felt a bit yucky because of the salt

in the water So we wanted to take

a rinse but for some reason it was

all the way up by the road So we

ran barefoot across the dirt road

until we got to what looked like a

large tap We rinsed off but

because of the size it took forever

and in the time it took three huge

tourist busses passed by I realized

that this place was probably going

to become really touristy one day

and itrsquos a good thing I came before

the small island becomes too

cramped

We ate lunch in this really

cute hut It was a really nice place

it had coral mobiles everywhere

and smelt of the sea The food was

really good and we hung out on the

lounge chairs for a while eating lots

of crispy French fries and talking

about the usual random rubbish

Isabella and I always talk about

I dont remember what

happened after that but I do

remember how happy I was how I

just wanted to surf the waves

forever and lie in the sand until the

end of time But moments have to

pass Thatrsquos why we should enjoy

them All the little moments in life

should be enjoyed I do want to go

back to that little beach by the

jungle but Irsquom afraid that lombok

might start turning into a concrete

jungle full with grey skies and

murky waters But whatever

happens I know Irsquoll always have the

Book Suggestion

As a psychologist I would like to warmly

recommend Hans Christians Andersenrsquos

fairy tales stories fit for all ages HC

Andersens tales were read for me when I

was a child and I have often revisited

them in my work after I have spoken to

clients because they offer words and ideas

to psychological issues

Take for example the Little Mermaid A

tale is about a heroine with investigative

curiosity fascinated by the unknown and

intent on broadening her horizons She

has an intense longing to visit the world

above the sea by arranging the flowers in

her garden into the shape of the sun

listening to her grandmother and sisters

stories of the surface The world above

seems larger than her own and she wants

to know as much as she can about it

HC Andersen talks about things that

are on everyonersquos minds and yet he

makes it exciting and fantastic They are

short stories easy to read

Once upon a time there lived a girl

named Emily She lived with her parents

in a small little house Her family was a

little poor but not that much One day

while Emily was playing with her doll

she accidently threw it in the wall and

suddenly the wall began to open She

could not believe her eyes She got a

little scared but didnt start to yell She

wanted to keep this a secret She always

dreamed of having a new adventure so

she went inside She could not believe

her eyes when she saw fairies flying

around Some of the fairies were

working and the little ones were

playing And at that moment she saw

the most beautiful fairy that looked like

a 12-year-old girl just like Emily was

Emily forgot about everything she had

seen and just wanted to be her friend

but she couldnrsquot just go and say hello

because she was a fairy and Emily was a

human She thought that the fairy might

get scared but she always wanted a best

friend so she went to say hello to her

The fairy got a little scared but she

couldnrsquot believe her eyes that a real

human talked to her The fairy said hello

back to Emily the fairy asked Emily

how did she find the fairy world Emily

told the whole story about how did she

find the fairy world When she was

finished the whole story she asked the

fairy what was her name The fairy said

her name was Emma and asked whatrsquos

yours Emily told her name

Emily and Emma talked and talked

When Emily remembered that it had

been an hour since she was in the fairy

land Emily thought her parents might

be worried about her so Emily told

Emma that she needed to go home and

she would meet her the other day And

that is how the days went Emily would

always go to the fairy world and meet

Emma And soon the whole fairy world

new about Emily and they were not

scared of her They treated her like a

fairy But one day it all turned out the

other way While Emilyrsquos was mom

cooking in the kitchen the oven caught

fire Since the whole house was made

out of wood so the house burned down

very quickly The family didnt have

anywhere to live in Emily had to tell

her secret about the secret door to save

herself and her parents she showed

them the way to the fairy world she

throw a piece of wood to the wall and

the wall began to open her parents

could not believe it Emily ran to

Emma and told her what

happened Emma got upset about the

burned house very much Emily asked

Emma if she and her parents could live

there then she showed Emma her

parents coming towards Emma saw how

devastated they were and felt really

sorry for them She immediately went to

ask the fairy queen whether Emily and

her parents could stay there after long

hours of discussions and talk they

decided to let Emily and her parents

stay And they lived happily ever after

while From Kenya I moved to

Holland I moved to a city

My Life Story Jeremiah Nyancho

OslashISIE -acuteOslashsterbro International School In English 49

When I was 6 years old I

moved to Copenhagen in Denmark

At the start we stayed in a hotel At

the very beginning I felt like I

wanted to go back to Kenya I

didnrsquot want to move The hard part

was packing When I had to say

goodbye it was ok but when my

sister had to say goodbye she

cried At the start in Copenhagen it

was hard taking trains to school

because I was learning how to take

a train Now I am 12 years old soon

13 in 4 months and I like it in

Copenhagen The people are

helpful I like the friends here they

are nice I think it is a nice thing to

move around When I am older and

I have a job I want to travel all

around the world I especially

would like to live in Rio

My two main interests are

sports and electronics My favorite

sports are basketball football and

swimming When I was 6 I liked

football then when I was 11 years

old I liked swimming and now that

I am 12 I started to like basketball

Sports make me who I am I used to

go to a swimming club and it was

hard from the beginning

Swimming is hard because it is

hard to cope with others who are

good and fast I used to play on a

football team and it was hard to

cope with the good footballers It

was boring without activities I

hope I join a new football club I

play basketball during breaks and

PE time and I want to keep playing

these sports in the future My

favorite electronics are IPad WII

and Nintendo DS I like these

because they are fun I use my IPad

for email and games Electronics

are part of my daily life

In conclusion my life is

being active and having fun My

family is important to my life I like

that my family are around the

world I have enjoyed moving to

different places The hard thing is

to say goodbye to friends I feel I

have a lot of interests I hope you

enjoyed my life story

Welcome brothers and sisters I have

come here before you to talk about our fellow

people being cut down like trees in the

Amazon rainforest and to talk about the

lives that could change Somalia If we

continue slaughtering our people like animals

at a slaughter house we will soon fade away

and no one will see what our people could

have achieved

I have come here before you because I

know I am in the right position to talk about

our people being slaughtered like meat Even

though I have never been to Somalia doesnt

mean I can help my country change forever I

cannot sleep knowing that I could have been

the change that our country needs the

Change that could determine the course of

our beautiful nation and the same change

that could help millions people

I have come here before you to say that if

we dont make a change now our country

will never develop because the people that

could change our nation forever are

immigrating because itrsquos not safe because we

dont have good schools because we dont have

unity

I have come here to talk to you about

how I imagine this country will be like in the

future I imagined a country full of hope and

unity I imagined a country that could

achieve anything that they wanted but this

wonrsquot happen until we join forces and face

our problems together

I have come here before you to talk about

the problems

our great nation is in a

deeper hole than the black hole because there

is no hope and if there is no hope change is

impossible We will need to rise up against

dictators that want to control our every

move we will need to rise up against poverty

we will need to rise up against piracy in

order for this to happen we will need to unite

I have come here before you to talk about

a vision I had for the future of Somalia a

future as bright as the sun a future where

our kids can live without worrying about

clean water where our kids dont worry about

school where our children dont worry about

food But this vision will never see the light

unless we as a nation take down dictators

and make everyone equal And if all this

happens I promise you that Somalia will

become one of the most powerful nation in

the entire world

I have come here today to say that

today is the day that we will change the

course of our country and to stand up for

our right We refuse to be treated like a third

world country Are we going to sit here and

let dictators determine our fate Are we

going to live the rest of lives in worry Are we

going to give up on our country The answer

is no This is the day we will rise as one and

tackle our problems head on

Cubans You want your freedom and you want something done about that But here is the problem You canrsquot have freedom without a revolution against the oppressing system but without a sense of bravery you canrsquot rebel But what is bravery without truth You need to tell yourself the truth and the truth is that you are waiting for someone for an angel to come and save you from that hell full of its fallen brothers and sisters You want the fighter to have some empathy for you but what is empathy but the hope of someone to come and save you from your own mess And what is that person without compassion or without a feeling of caring What would happen if the people that help you get these luxuries disappeared To be

honest you will be doomed like the Romans were doomed centuries ago Right know you are like a strong flower which is dancing all over waiting to get what it needs but is soon bound to get pulled off the ground But there you are trusting these strangers to pick you up every time you fall even though they could leave you and let you to burn and rust whenever they want Whenever they get tired of saving you or maybe they dont have any more to give they will just leave you because you are not important to them You are just an advantage an advantage they could get rid of Thatrsquos why I say it is time to act know that the oppressing system isnt strong The people of Cuban society are hungry for a change and thirsty for a better life Itrsquos human nature

the giant elevator and started making

my way to the room staying right

behind my sister and grandmother I

could hear my shoes creaking as I

increased the tempo as I couldnrsquot

wait to see my new born sister As I

peeked around the corner I could see

extremely quiet not to make my

exhausted mom annoyed of all the

noises My sister and I skipped happily

Memoirs whispered and then I thought lsquoThatrsquos

a pretty namersquo but I had to see her to

see if she looked like the beautiful

name The door swooshed open as I

pushed it with all my might I tip-toed

over to the bed where my mom and

sister lay

There she was with her small eyes

and lips reflecting what was in front

of her like a crystal clean mirror I

peeked over at my mom who was

almost asleep because of her

exhaustion Then I stepped back to let

my sister and grandmother look at my

admirable new born sister My proud

dad walked over to them and talked

about how the birth went and the long

wait for it to happen At the corner of

my eye I spotted a huge window I

could see the parking lot and the

beautiful lake some 700 meters away

rdquoItrsquos a beautiful view from up hererdquo I

told my dad In that split second my

big sister crept over to me to admire

it as well The sun was bearing down

on us and it was becoming very hot

because of the midsummer warmth

There were only a few clouds and they

were as thick as cotton candy I could

honestly have eaten them I took a

seat in a small couch right in front of

us and then my dad asked if we

wanted to hold our little sister rdquoYesrdquo

We both exclaimed very excitingly

rdquoOkay but be very carefulrdquo He

scooped her up like an ice cream

spoon peeling up the ice cream and

then handed her over to us She had a

minute pink blanket over her to

protect her from the cold air around

her I started rocking her back and

forth as she was becoming

uncomfortable I looked at her

miniature fingers slowly coming to a

rest as she calmed down Without

notice I handed her over to my excited

sister

After a minute or so there was a

knock on the door Who could it be

Friends and family My dad crept

towards the door very quiet and

opened the creaking door In a split

second I knew who it was It was my

whole family Uncles aunts

grandfather and cousins I flew up

from my chair to say hello The next

thing I know is someone calling my

name Itrsquos my dadrsquos sister that has a

something in her hands a gift It must

be to me I thought as I hurried over to

her It was I ripped off the paper like

a mad man and then I saw a toy

airplane It was an old fighter aircraft

It looked like a Spitfire and it was so

breathtaking I gave her a big hug and

began playing with it From that day

In Bali there is a day in which it

is believed that devils come to the

island and look for life so everyone

has to be really quiet and use no

electricity so the devils think no

one lives on the island and they

will go away Itrsquos called Nyepi This

day is usually the most boring day

of the year but last Nyepi my

friend Isabella invited me to come

with her and her family to Lombok

where they dont celebrate Nyepi I

was really excited I packed a week

early and bought lots of snacks for

the trip It was a really short flight

from Bali to Lombok and we got

yucky chocolate pastry thingies I

dont really know what they were

and we got told off twice for being

too loud by this old lady sitting

next to us When we landed half

an hour later we went straight to

the hotel and had breakfast

On the first day we just

chilled at the hotel but the next

day we set off to a beach really far

A day at

the beach Ines Liokouras

OslashISIE -acuteOslashsterbro International School In English 23

Memoirs away While driving on the most

unbearable road I had ever driven

on we saw many peculiar things

People walking their cows and kids

running around barefoot banging

plastic bottles together to make

music It was a very uncomfortable

ride The air conditioner was

broken and it was extremely hot

outside The driver was playing

annoying K-pop music for the

whole three hour drive

The area where the beach was

located was a jungle and it didnt

look at all like a place where a

beach would be We rented four

worn out surfboards and seven

shabby looking boogie boards The

ocean seemed especially beautiful

that day and the water was the

most magnificent shade of blue It

really was like paradise with all the

palm trees and the smooth warm

sand We surfed all day not like

Mark Richards or anything In fact

we were really quite terrible at it

but it was one of those moments

where nothing in the world seemed

to matter

After swimming in the sea we

felt a bit yucky because of the salt

in the water So we wanted to take

a rinse but for some reason it was

all the way up by the road So we

ran barefoot across the dirt road

until we got to what looked like a

large tap We rinsed off but

because of the size it took forever

and in the time it took three huge

tourist busses passed by I realized

that this place was probably going

to become really touristy one day

and itrsquos a good thing I came before

the small island becomes too

cramped

We ate lunch in this really

cute hut It was a really nice place

it had coral mobiles everywhere

and smelt of the sea The food was

really good and we hung out on the

lounge chairs for a while eating lots

of crispy French fries and talking

about the usual random rubbish

Isabella and I always talk about

I dont remember what

happened after that but I do

remember how happy I was how I

just wanted to surf the waves

forever and lie in the sand until the

end of time But moments have to

pass Thatrsquos why we should enjoy

them All the little moments in life

should be enjoyed I do want to go

back to that little beach by the

jungle but Irsquom afraid that lombok

might start turning into a concrete

jungle full with grey skies and

murky waters But whatever

happens I know Irsquoll always have the

memory in my head

Book Suggestion

As a psychologist I would like to warmly

recommend Hans Christians Andersenrsquos

fairy tales stories fit for all ages HC

Andersens tales were read for me when I

was a child and I have often revisited

them in my work after I have spoken to

clients because they offer words and ideas

to psychological issues

Take for example the Little Mermaid A

tale is about a heroine with investigative

curiosity fascinated by the unknown and

intent on broadening her horizons She

has an intense longing to visit the world

above the sea by arranging the flowers in

her garden into the shape of the sun

listening to her grandmother and sisters

stories of the surface The world above

seems larger than her own and she wants

to know as much as she can about it

HC Andersen talks about things that

are on everyonersquos minds and yet he

makes it exciting and fantastic They are

short stories easy to read

My very own story

OslashISIE -acuteOslashsterbro International School In English 47

Once upon a time there lived a girl

named Emily She lived with her parents

in a small little house Her family was a

little poor but not that much One day

while Emily was playing with her doll

she accidently threw it in the wall and

suddenly the wall began to open She

could not believe her eyes She got a

little scared but didnt start to yell She

wanted to keep this a secret She always

dreamed of having a new adventure so

she went inside She could not believe

her eyes when she saw fairies flying

around Some of the fairies were

working and the little ones were

playing And at that moment she saw

the most beautiful fairy that looked like

a 12-year-old girl just like Emily was

Emily forgot about everything she had

seen and just wanted to be her friend

but she couldnrsquot just go and say hello

because she was a fairy and Emily was a

human She thought that the fairy might

get scared but she always wanted a best

friend so she went to say hello to her

The fairy got a little scared but she

couldnrsquot believe her eyes that a real

human talked to her The fairy said hello

back to Emily the fairy asked Emily

how did she find the fairy world Emily

told the whole story about how did she

find the fairy world When she was

finished the whole story she asked the

fairy what was her name The fairy said

her name was Emma and asked whatrsquos

yours Emily told her name

Emily and Emma talked and talked

When Emily remembered that it had

been an hour since she was in the fairy

land Emily thought her parents might

be worried about her so Emily told

Emma that she needed to go home and

she would meet her the other day And

that is how the days went Emily would

always go to the fairy world and meet

Emma And soon the whole fairy world

new about Emily and they were not

scared of her They treated her like a

fairy But one day it all turned out the

other way While Emilyrsquos was mom

cooking in the kitchen the oven caught

fire Since the whole house was made

out of wood so the house burned down

very quickly The family didnt have

anywhere to live in Emily had to tell

her secret about the secret door to save

herself and her parents she showed

them the way to the fairy world she

throw a piece of wood to the wall and

the wall began to open her parents

could not believe it Emily ran to

Emma and told her what

happened Emma got upset about the

burned house very much Emily asked

Emma if she and her parents could live

there then she showed Emma her

parents coming towards Emma saw how

devastated they were and felt really

sorry for them She immediately went to

ask the fairy queen whether Emily and

her parents could stay there after long

hours of discussions and talk they

decided to let Emily and her parents

stay And they lived happily ever after

places I have lived I have lived in 4

different places I was born in

Kenya I stayed in Kenya for a

while From Kenya I moved to

Holland I moved to a city

called Rotterdam in

Holland I liked Holland

because the schools were

close to our home But

what I didnrsquot like was that

not so many people were

nice For example they

didnrsquot help when we

asked for help to find

places I had nice friends

to play with in Rotterdam

My Life Story Jeremiah Nyancho

OslashISIE -acuteOslashsterbro International School In English 49

When I was 6 years old I

moved to Copenhagen in Denmark

At the start we stayed in a hotel At

the very beginning I felt like I

wanted to go back to Kenya I

didnrsquot want to move The hard part

was packing When I had to say

goodbye it was ok but when my

sister had to say goodbye she

cried At the start in Copenhagen it

was hard taking trains to school

because I was learning how to take

a train Now I am 12 years old soon

13 in 4 months and I like it in

Copenhagen The people are

helpful I like the friends here they

are nice I think it is a nice thing to

move around When I am older and

I have a job I want to travel all

around the world I especially

would like to live in Rio

My two main interests are

sports and electronics My favorite

sports are basketball football and

swimming When I was 6 I liked

football then when I was 11 years

old I liked swimming and now that

I am 12 I started to like basketball

Sports make me who I am I used to

go to a swimming club and it was

hard from the beginning

Swimming is hard because it is

hard to cope with others who are

good and fast I used to play on a

football team and it was hard to

cope with the good footballers It

was boring without activities I

hope I join a new football club I

play basketball during breaks and

PE time and I want to keep playing

these sports in the future My

favorite electronics are IPad WII

and Nintendo DS I like these

because they are fun I use my IPad

for email and games Electronics

are part of my daily life

In conclusion my life is

being active and having fun My

family is important to my life I like

that my family are around the

world I have enjoyed moving to

different places The hard thing is

to say goodbye to friends I feel I

have a lot of interests I hope you

enjoyed my life story

Cubans You want your freedom and you want something done about that But here is the problem You canrsquot have freedom without a revolution against the oppressing system but without a sense of bravery you canrsquot rebel But what is bravery without truth You need to tell yourself the truth and the truth is that you are waiting for someone for an angel to come and save you from that hell full of its fallen brothers and sisters You want the fighter to have some empathy for you but what is empathy but the hope of someone to come and save you from your own mess And what is that person without compassion or without a feeling of caring What would happen if the people that help you get these luxuries disappeared To be

honest you will be doomed like the Romans were doomed centuries ago Right know you are like a strong flower which is dancing all over waiting to get what it needs but is soon bound to get pulled off the ground But there you are trusting these strangers to pick you up every time you fall even though they could leave you and let you to burn and rust whenever they want Whenever they get tired of saving you or maybe they dont have any more to give they will just leave you because you are not important to them You are just an advantage an advantage they could get rid of Thatrsquos why I say it is time to act know that the oppressing system isnt strong The people of Cuban society are hungry for a change and thirsty for a better life Itrsquos human nature

a pretty namersquo but I had to see her to

see if she looked like the beautiful

name The door swooshed open as I

pushed it with all my might I tip-toed

over to the bed where my mom and

sister lay

There she was with her small eyes

and lips reflecting what was in front

of her like a crystal clean mirror I

peeked over at my mom who was

almost asleep because of her

exhaustion Then I stepped back to let

my sister and grandmother look at my

admirable new born sister My proud

dad walked over to them and talked

about how the birth went and the long

wait for it to happen At the corner of

my eye I spotted a huge window I

could see the parking lot and the

beautiful lake some 700 meters away

rdquoItrsquos a beautiful view from up hererdquo I

told my dad In that split second my

big sister crept over to me to admire

it as well The sun was bearing down

on us and it was becoming very hot

because of the midsummer warmth

There were only a few clouds and they

were as thick as cotton candy I could

honestly have eaten them I took a

seat in a small couch right in front of

us and then my dad asked if we

wanted to hold our little sister rdquoYesrdquo

We both exclaimed very excitingly

rdquoOkay but be very carefulrdquo He

scooped her up like an ice cream

spoon peeling up the ice cream and

then handed her over to us She had a

minute pink blanket over her to

protect her from the cold air around

her I started rocking her back and

forth as she was becoming

uncomfortable I looked at her

miniature fingers slowly coming to a

rest as she calmed down Without

notice I handed her over to my excited

sister

After a minute or so there was a

knock on the door Who could it be

Friends and family My dad crept

towards the door very quiet and

opened the creaking door In a split

second I knew who it was It was my

whole family Uncles aunts

grandfather and cousins I flew up

from my chair to say hello The next

In Bali there is a day in which it

is believed that devils come to the

island and look for life so everyone

has to be really quiet and use no

electricity so the devils think no

one lives on the island and they

will go away Itrsquos called Nyepi This

day is usually the most boring day

of the year but last Nyepi my

friend Isabella invited me to come

with her and her family to Lombok

where they dont celebrate Nyepi I

was really excited I packed a week

early and bought lots of snacks for

the trip It was a really short flight

from Bali to Lombok and we got

yucky chocolate pastry thingies I

dont really know what they were

and we got told off twice for being

too loud by this old lady sitting

next to us When we landed half

an hour later we went straight to

the hotel and had breakfast

On the first day we just

chilled at the hotel but the next

day we set off to a beach really far

A day at

the beach Ines Liokouras

OslashISIE -acuteOslashsterbro International School In English 23

Memoirs away While driving on the most

unbearable road I had ever driven

on we saw many peculiar things

People walking their cows and kids

running around barefoot banging

plastic bottles together to make

music It was a very uncomfortable

ride The air conditioner was

broken and it was extremely hot

outside The driver was playing

annoying K-pop music for the

whole three hour drive

The area where the beach was

located was a jungle and it didnt

look at all like a place where a

beach would be We rented four

worn out surfboards and seven

shabby looking boogie boards The

ocean seemed especially beautiful

that day and the water was the

most magnificent shade of blue It

really was like paradise with all the

palm trees and the smooth warm

sand We surfed all day not like

Mark Richards or anything In fact

we were really quite terrible at it

but it was one of those moments

where nothing in the world seemed

to matter

After swimming in the sea we

felt a bit yucky because of the salt

in the water So we wanted to take

a rinse but for some reason it was

all the way up by the road So we

ran barefoot across the dirt road

until we got to what looked like a

large tap We rinsed off but

because of the size it took forever

and in the time it took three huge

tourist busses passed by I realized

that this place was probably going

to become really touristy one day

and itrsquos a good thing I came before

the small island becomes too

cramped

We ate lunch in this really

cute hut It was a really nice place

it had coral mobiles everywhere

and smelt of the sea The food was

really good and we hung out on the

lounge chairs for a while eating lots

of crispy French fries and talking

about the usual random rubbish

Isabella and I always talk about

I dont remember what

happened after that but I do

remember how happy I was how I

just wanted to surf the waves

forever and lie in the sand until the

end of time But moments have to

pass Thatrsquos why we should enjoy

them All the little moments in life

should be enjoyed I do want to go

back to that little beach by the

jungle but Irsquom afraid that lombok

might start turning into a concrete

jungle full with grey skies and

murky waters But whatever

happens I know Irsquoll always have the

Book Suggestion

As a psychologist I would like to warmly

recommend Hans Christians Andersenrsquos

fairy tales stories fit for all ages HC

Andersens tales were read for me when I

was a child and I have often revisited

them in my work after I have spoken to

clients because they offer words and ideas

to psychological issues

Take for example the Little Mermaid A

tale is about a heroine with investigative

curiosity fascinated by the unknown and

intent on broadening her horizons She

has an intense longing to visit the world

above the sea by arranging the flowers in

her garden into the shape of the sun

listening to her grandmother and sisters

stories of the surface The world above

seems larger than her own and she wants

to know as much as she can about it

HC Andersen talks about things that

are on everyonersquos minds and yet he

makes it exciting and fantastic They are

short stories easy to read

Once upon a time there lived a girl

named Emily She lived with her parents

in a small little house Her family was a

little poor but not that much One day

while Emily was playing with her doll

she accidently threw it in the wall and

suddenly the wall began to open She

could not believe her eyes She got a

little scared but didnt start to yell She

wanted to keep this a secret She always

dreamed of having a new adventure so

she went inside She could not believe

her eyes when she saw fairies flying

around Some of the fairies were

working and the little ones were

playing And at that moment she saw

the most beautiful fairy that looked like

a 12-year-old girl just like Emily was

Emily forgot about everything she had

seen and just wanted to be her friend

but she couldnrsquot just go and say hello

because she was a fairy and Emily was a

human She thought that the fairy might

get scared but she always wanted a best

friend so she went to say hello to her

The fairy got a little scared but she

couldnrsquot believe her eyes that a real

human talked to her The fairy said hello

back to Emily the fairy asked Emily

how did she find the fairy world Emily

told the whole story about how did she

find the fairy world When she was

finished the whole story she asked the

fairy what was her name The fairy said

her name was Emma and asked whatrsquos

yours Emily told her name

Emily and Emma talked and talked

When Emily remembered that it had

been an hour since she was in the fairy

land Emily thought her parents might

be worried about her so Emily told

Emma that she needed to go home and

she would meet her the other day And

that is how the days went Emily would

always go to the fairy world and meet

Emma And soon the whole fairy world

new about Emily and they were not

scared of her They treated her like a

fairy But one day it all turned out the

other way While Emilyrsquos was mom

cooking in the kitchen the oven caught

fire Since the whole house was made

out of wood so the house burned down

very quickly The family didnt have

anywhere to live in Emily had to tell

her secret about the secret door to save

herself and her parents she showed

them the way to the fairy world she

throw a piece of wood to the wall and

the wall began to open her parents

could not believe it Emily ran to

Emma and told her what

happened Emma got upset about the

burned house very much Emily asked

Emma if she and her parents could live

there then she showed Emma her

parents coming towards Emma saw how

devastated they were and felt really

sorry for them She immediately went to

ask the fairy queen whether Emily and

her parents could stay there after long

hours of discussions and talk they

decided to let Emily and her parents

stay And they lived happily ever after

places I have lived I have lived in 4

different places I was born in

Kenya I stayed in Kenya for a

while From Kenya I moved to

Holland I moved to a city

called Rotterdam in

Holland I liked Holland

because the schools were

close to our home But

what I didnrsquot like was that

not so many people were

nice For example they

didnrsquot help when we

asked for help to find

places I had nice friends

to play with in Rotterdam

My Life Story Jeremiah Nyancho

OslashISIE -acuteOslashsterbro International School In English 49

When I was 6 years old I

moved to Copenhagen in Denmark

At the start we stayed in a hotel At

the very beginning I felt like I

wanted to go back to Kenya I

didnrsquot want to move The hard part

was packing When I had to say

goodbye it was ok but when my

sister had to say goodbye she

cried At the start in Copenhagen it

was hard taking trains to school

because I was learning how to take

a train Now I am 12 years old soon

13 in 4 months and I like it in

Copenhagen The people are

helpful I like the friends here they

are nice I think it is a nice thing to

move around When I am older and

I have a job I want to travel all

around the world I especially

would like to live in Rio

My two main interests are

sports and electronics My favorite

sports are basketball football and

swimming When I was 6 I liked

football then when I was 11 years

old I liked swimming and now that

I am 12 I started to like basketball

Sports make me who I am I used to

go to a swimming club and it was

hard from the beginning

Swimming is hard because it is

hard to cope with others who are

good and fast I used to play on a

football team and it was hard to

cope with the good footballers It

was boring without activities I

hope I join a new football club I

play basketball during breaks and

PE time and I want to keep playing

these sports in the future My

favorite electronics are IPad WII

and Nintendo DS I like these

because they are fun I use my IPad

for email and games Electronics

are part of my daily life

In conclusion my life is

being active and having fun My

family is important to my life I like

that my family are around the

world I have enjoyed moving to

different places The hard thing is

to say goodbye to friends I feel I

have a lot of interests I hope you

enjoyed my life story

Cubans You want your freedom and you want something done about that But here is the problem You canrsquot have freedom without a revolution against the oppressing system but without a sense of bravery you canrsquot rebel But what is bravery without truth You need to tell yourself the truth and the truth is that you are waiting for someone for an angel to come and save you from that hell full of its fallen brothers and sisters You want the fighter to have some empathy for you but what is empathy but the hope of someone to come and save you from your own mess And what is that person without compassion or without a feeling of caring What would happen if the people that help you get these luxuries disappeared To be

honest you will be doomed like the Romans were doomed centuries ago Right know you are like a strong flower which is dancing all over waiting to get what it needs but is soon bound to get pulled off the ground But there you are trusting these strangers to pick you up every time you fall even though they could leave you and let you to burn and rust whenever they want Whenever they get tired of saving you or maybe they dont have any more to give they will just leave you because you are not important to them You are just an advantage an advantage they could get rid of Thatrsquos why I say it is time to act know that the oppressing system isnt strong The people of Cuban society are hungry for a change and thirsty for a better life Itrsquos human nature

a pretty namersquo but I had to see her to

see if she looked like the beautiful

pushed it with all my might I tip-toed

over to the bed where my mom and

sister lay

There she was with her small eyes

and lips reflecting what was in front

of her like a crystal clean mirror I

peeked over at my mom who was

almost asleep because of her

exhaustion Then I stepped back to let

my sister and grandmother look at my

admirable new born sister My proud

dad walked over to them and talked

about how the birth went and the long

wait for it to happen At the corner of

my eye I spotted a huge window I

could see the parking lot and the

beautiful lake some 700 meters away

rdquoItrsquos a beautiful view from up hererdquo I

told my dad In that split second my

big sister crept over to me to admire

it as well The sun was bearing down

on us and it was becoming very hot

because of the midsummer warmth

There were only a few clouds and they

were as thick as cotton candy I could

honestly have eaten them I took a

seat in a small couch right in front of

us and then my dad asked if we

wanted to hold our little sister rdquoYesrdquo

We both exclaimed very excitingly

rdquoOkay but be very carefulrdquo He

scooped her up like an ice cream

spoon peeling up the ice cream and

then handed her over to us She had a

minute pink blanket over her to

protect her from the cold air around

her I started rocking her back and

forth as she was becoming

uncomfortable I looked at her

miniature fingers slowly coming to a

rest as she calmed down Without

notice I handed her over to my excited

sister

After a minute or so there was a

knock on the door Who could it be

Friends and family My dad crept

towards the door very quiet and

opened the creaking door In a split

second I knew who it was It was my

whole family Uncles aunts

In Bali there is a day in which it

is believed that devils come to the

island and look for life so everyone

has to be really quiet and use no

electricity so the devils think no

one lives on the island and they

will go away Itrsquos called Nyepi This

day is usually the most boring day

of the year but last Nyepi my

friend Isabella invited me to come

with her and her family to Lombok

where they dont celebrate Nyepi I

was really excited I packed a week

early and bought lots of snacks for

the trip It was a really short flight

from Bali to Lombok and we got

yucky chocolate pastry thingies I

dont really know what they were

and we got told off twice for being

too loud by this old lady sitting

next to us When we landed half

an hour later we went straight to

the hotel and had breakfast

On the first day we just

chilled at the hotel but the next

day we set off to a beach really far

A day at

the beach Ines Liokouras

OslashISIE -acuteOslashsterbro International School In English 23

Memoirs away While driving on the most

unbearable road I had ever driven

on we saw many peculiar things

People walking their cows and kids

running around barefoot banging

plastic bottles together to make

music It was a very uncomfortable

ride The air conditioner was

broken and it was extremely hot

outside The driver was playing

annoying K-pop music for the

whole three hour drive

The area where the beach was

located was a jungle and it didnt

look at all like a place where a

beach would be We rented four

worn out surfboards and seven

shabby looking boogie boards The

ocean seemed especially beautiful

that day and the water was the

most magnificent shade of blue It

really was like paradise with all the

palm trees and the smooth warm

sand We surfed all day not like

Mark Richards or anything In fact

we were really quite terrible at it

but it was one of those moments

where nothing in the world seemed

to matter

After swimming in the sea we

felt a bit yucky because of the salt

in the water So we wanted to take

a rinse but for some reason it was

all the way up by the road So we

ran barefoot across the dirt road

until we got to what looked like a

large tap We rinsed off but

because of the size it took forever

and in the time it took three huge

tourist busses passed by I realized

that this place was probably going

to become really touristy one day

and itrsquos a good thing I came before

the small island becomes too

cramped

We ate lunch in this really

cute hut It was a really nice place

it had coral mobiles everywhere

and smelt of the sea The food was

really good and we hung out on the

lounge chairs for a while eating lots

of crispy French fries and talking

about the usual random rubbish

Isabella and I always talk about

I dont remember what

happened after that but I do

remember how happy I was how I

just wanted to surf the waves

forever and lie in the sand until the

end of time But moments have to

pass Thatrsquos why we should enjoy

them All the little moments in life

should be enjoyed I do want to go

back to that little beach by the

jungle but Irsquom afraid that lombok

might start turning into a concrete

jungle full with grey skies and

murky waters But whatever

happens I know Irsquoll always have the

memory in my head

Book Suggestion

As a psychologist I would like to warmly

recommend Hans Christians Andersenrsquos

fairy tales stories fit for all ages HC

Andersens tales were read for me when I

was a child and I have often revisited

them in my work after I have spoken to

clients because they offer words and ideas

to psychological issues

Take for example the Little Mermaid A

tale is about a heroine with investigative

curiosity fascinated by the unknown and

intent on broadening her horizons She

has an intense longing to visit the world

above the sea by arranging the flowers in

her garden into the shape of the sun

listening to her grandmother and sisters

stories of the surface The world above

seems larger than her own and she wants

to know as much as she can about it

HC Andersen talks about things that

are on everyonersquos minds and yet he

makes it exciting and fantastic They are

short stories easy to read

Once upon a time there lived a girl

named Emily She lived with her parents

in a small little house Her family was a

little poor but not that much One day

while Emily was playing with her doll

she accidently threw it in the wall and

suddenly the wall began to open She

could not believe her eyes She got a

little scared but didnt start to yell She

wanted to keep this a secret She always

dreamed of having a new adventure so

she went inside She could not believe

her eyes when she saw fairies flying

around Some of the fairies were

working and the little ones were

playing And at that moment she saw

the most beautiful fairy that looked like

a 12-year-old girl just like Emily was

Emily forgot about everything she had

seen and just wanted to be her friend

but she couldnrsquot just go and say hello

because she was a fairy and Emily was a

human She thought that the fairy might

get scared but she always wanted a best

friend so she went to say hello to her

The fairy got a little scared but she

couldnrsquot believe her eyes that a real

human talked to her The fairy said hello

back to Emily the fairy asked Emily

how did she find the fairy world Emily

told the whole story about how did she

find the fairy world When she was

finished the whole story she asked the

fairy what was her name The fairy said

her name was Emma and asked whatrsquos

yours Emily told her name

Emily and Emma talked and talked

When Emily remembered that it had

been an hour since she was in the fairy

land Emily thought her parents might

be worried about her so Emily told

Emma that she needed to go home and

she would meet her the other day And

that is how the days went Emily would

always go to the fairy world and meet

Emma And soon the whole fairy world

new about Emily and they were not

scared of her They treated her like a

fairy But one day it all turned out the

other way While Emilyrsquos was mom

cooking in the kitchen the oven caught

fire Since the whole house was made

out of wood so the house burned down

very quickly The family didnt have

anywhere to live in Emily had to tell

her secret about the secret door to save

herself and her parents she showed

them the way to the fairy world she

throw a piece of wood to the wall and

the wall began to open her parents

could not believe it Emily ran to

Emma and told her what

happened Emma got upset about the

burned house very much Emily asked

Emma if she and her parents could live

there then she showed Emma her

parents coming towards Emma saw how

devastated they were and felt really

sorry for them She immediately went to

ask the fairy queen whether Emily and

her parents could stay there after long

hours of discussions and talk they

decided to let Emily and her parents

stay And they lived happily ever after

I will now talk about the

places I have lived I have lived in 4

different places I was born in

Kenya I stayed in Kenya for a

while From Kenya I moved to

Holland I moved to a city

called Rotterdam in

Holland I liked Holland

because the schools were

close to our home But

what I didnrsquot like was that

not so many people were

nice For example they

didnrsquot help when we

asked for help to find

places I had nice friends

to play with in Rotterdam

My Life Story Jeremiah Nyancho

OslashISIE -acuteOslashsterbro International School In English 49

When I was 6 years old I

moved to Copenhagen in Denmark

At the start we stayed in a hotel At

the very beginning I felt like I

wanted to go back to Kenya I

didnrsquot want to move The hard part

was packing When I had to say

goodbye it was ok but when my

sister had to say goodbye she

cried At the start in Copenhagen it

was hard taking trains to school

because I was learning how to take

a train Now I am 12 years old soon

13 in 4 months and I like it in

Copenhagen The people are

helpful I like the friends here they

are nice I think it is a nice thing to

move around When I am older and

I have a job I want to travel all

around the world I especially

would like to live in Rio

My two main interests are

sports and electronics My favorite

sports are basketball football and

swimming When I was 6 I liked

football then when I was 11 years

old I liked swimming and now that

I am 12 I started to like basketball

Sports make me who I am I used to

go to a swimming club and it was

hard from the beginning

Swimming is hard because it is

hard to cope with others who are

good and fast I used to play on a

football team and it was hard to

cope with the good footballers It

was boring without activities I

hope I join a new football club I

play basketball during breaks and

PE time and I want to keep playing

these sports in the future My

favorite electronics are IPad WII

and Nintendo DS I like these

because they are fun I use my IPad

for email and games Electronics

are part of my daily life

In conclusion my life is

being active and having fun My

family is important to my life I like

that my family are around the

world I have enjoyed moving to

different places The hard thing is

to say goodbye to friends I feel I

have a lot of interests I hope you

enjoyed my life story

Cubans You want your freedom and you want something done about that But here is the problem You canrsquot have freedom without a revolution against the oppressing system but without a sense of bravery you canrsquot rebel But what is bravery without truth You need to tell yourself the truth and the truth is that you are waiting for someone for an angel to come and save you from that hell full of its fallen brothers and sisters You want the fighter to have some empathy for you but what is empathy but the hope of someone to come and save you from your own mess And what is that person without compassion or without a feeling of caring What would happen if the people that help you get these luxuries disappeared To be

honest you will be doomed like the Romans were doomed centuries ago Right know you are like a strong flower which is dancing all over waiting to get what it needs but is soon bound to get pulled off the ground But there you are trusting these strangers to pick you up every time you fall even though they could leave you and let you to burn and rust whenever they want Whenever they get tired of saving you or maybe they dont have any more to give they will just leave you because you are not important to them You are just an advantage an advantage they could get rid of Thatrsquos why I say it is time to act know that the oppressing system isnt strong The people of Cuban society are hungry for a change and thirsty for a better life Itrsquos human nature

Memoirs whispered and then I thought lsquoThatrsquos

a pretty namersquo but I had to see her to

see if she looked like the beautiful

name The door swooshed open as I

pushed it with all my might I tip-toed

over to the bed where my mom and

sister lay

There she was with her small eyes

and lips reflecting what was in front

of her like a crystal clean mirror I

peeked over at my mom who was

almost asleep because of her

exhaustion Then I stepped back to let

my sister and grandmother look at my

admirable new born sister My proud

dad walked over to them and talked

about how the birth went and the long

wait for it to happen At the corner of

my eye I spotted a huge window I

could see the parking lot and the

beautiful lake some 700 meters away

rdquoItrsquos a beautiful view from up hererdquo I

told my dad In that split second my

big sister crept over to me to admire

it as well The sun was bearing down

on us and it was becoming very hot

because of the midsummer warmth

There were only a few clouds and they

were as thick as cotton candy I could

honestly have eaten them I took a

seat in a small couch right in front of

us and then my dad asked if we

wanted to hold our little sister rdquoYesrdquo

We both exclaimed very excitingly

rdquoOkay but be very carefulrdquo He

scooped her up like an ice cream

spoon peeling up the ice cream and

then handed her over to us She had a

minute pink blanket over her to

protect her from the cold air around

her I started rocking her back and

forth as she was becoming

uncomfortable I looked at her

miniature fingers slowly coming to a

rest as she calmed down Without

notice I handed her over to my excited

sister

After a minute or so there was a

knock on the door Who could it be

Friends and family My dad crept

towards the door very quiet and

opened the creaking door In a split

second I knew who it was It was my

whole family Uncles aunts

grandfather and cousins I flew up

from my chair to say hello The next

thing I know is someone calling my

her It was I ripped off the paper like

a mad man and then I saw a toy

It looked like a Spitfire and it was so

In Bali there is a day in which it

is believed that devils come to the

island and look for life so everyone

has to be really quiet and use no

electricity so the devils think no

one lives on the island and they

will go away Itrsquos called Nyepi This

day is usually the most boring day

of the year but last Nyepi my

friend Isabella invited me to come

with her and her family to Lombok

where they dont celebrate Nyepi I

was really excited I packed a week

early and bought lots of snacks for

the trip It was a really short flight

from Bali to Lombok and we got

yucky chocolate pastry thingies I

dont really know what they were

and we got told off twice for being

too loud by this old lady sitting

next to us When we landed half

an hour later we went straight to

the hotel and had breakfast

On the first day we just

chilled at the hotel but the next

day we set off to a beach really far

A day at

the beach Ines Liokouras

OslashISIE -acuteOslashsterbro International School In English 23

Memoirs away While driving on the most

unbearable road I had ever driven

on we saw many peculiar things

People walking their cows and kids

running around barefoot banging

plastic bottles together to make

music It was a very uncomfortable

ride The air conditioner was

broken and it was extremely hot

outside The driver was playing

annoying K-pop music for the

whole three hour drive

The area where the beach was

located was a jungle and it didnt

look at all like a place where a

beach would be We rented four

worn out surfboards and seven

shabby looking boogie boards The

ocean seemed especially beautiful

that day and the water was the

most magnificent shade of blue It

really was like paradise with all the

palm trees and the smooth warm

sand We surfed all day not like

Mark Richards or anything In fact

we were really quite terrible at it

but it was one of those moments

where nothing in the world seemed

to matter

After swimming in the sea we

felt a bit yucky because of the salt

in the water So we wanted to take

a rinse but for some reason it was

all the way up by the road So we

ran barefoot across the dirt road

until we got to what looked like a

large tap We rinsed off but

because of the size it took forever

and in the time it took three huge

tourist busses passed by I realized

that this place was probably going

to become really touristy one day

and itrsquos a good thing I came before

the small island becomes too

cramped

We ate lunch in this really

cute hut It was a really nice place

it had coral mobiles everywhere

and smelt of the sea The food was

really good and we hung out on the

lounge chairs for a while eating lots

of crispy French fries and talking

about the usual random rubbish

Isabella and I always talk about

I dont remember what

happened after that but I do

remember how happy I was how I

just wanted to surf the waves

forever and lie in the sand until the

end of time But moments have to

pass Thatrsquos why we should enjoy

them All the little moments in life

should be enjoyed I do want to go

back to that little beach by the

jungle but Irsquom afraid that lombok

might start turning into a concrete

jungle full with grey skies and

murky waters But whatever

happens I know Irsquoll always have the

Book Suggestion

As a psychologist I would like to warmly

recommend Hans Christians Andersenrsquos

fairy tales stories fit for all ages HC

Andersens tales were read for me when I

was a child and I have often revisited

them in my work after I have spoken to

clients because they offer words and ideas

to psychological issues

Take for example the Little Mermaid A

tale is about a heroine with investigative

curiosity fascinated by the unknown and

intent on broadening her horizons She

has an intense longing to visit the world

above the sea by arranging the flowers in

her garden into the shape of the sun

listening to her grandmother and sisters

stories of the surface The world above

seems larger than her own and she wants

to know as much as she can about it

HC Andersen talks about things that

are on everyonersquos minds and yet he

makes it exciting and fantastic They are

short stories easy to read

Once upon a time there lived a girl

named Emily She lived with her parents

in a small little house Her family was a

little poor but not that much One day

while Emily was playing with her doll

she accidently threw it in the wall and

suddenly the wall began to open She

could not believe her eyes She got a

little scared but didnt start to yell She

wanted to keep this a secret She always

dreamed of having a new adventure so

she went inside She could not believe

her eyes when she saw fairies flying

around Some of the fairies were

working and the little ones were

playing And at that moment she saw

the most beautiful fairy that looked like

a 12-year-old girl just like Emily was

Emily forgot about everything she had

seen and just wanted to be her friend

but she couldnrsquot just go and say hello

because she was a fairy and Emily was a

human She thought that the fairy might

get scared but she always wanted a best

friend so she went to say hello to her

The fairy got a little scared but she

couldnrsquot believe her eyes that a real

human talked to her The fairy said hello

back to Emily the fairy asked Emily

how did she find the fairy world Emily

told the whole story about how did she

find the fairy world When she was

finished the whole story she asked the

fairy what was her name The fairy said

her name was Emma and asked whatrsquos

yours Emily told her name

Emily and Emma talked and talked

When Emily remembered that it had

been an hour since she was in the fairy

land Emily thought her parents might

be worried about her so Emily told

Emma that she needed to go home and

she would meet her the other day And

that is how the days went Emily would

always go to the fairy world and meet

Emma And soon the whole fairy world

new about Emily and they were not

scared of her They treated her like a

fairy But one day it all turned out the

other way While Emilyrsquos was mom

cooking in the kitchen the oven caught

fire Since the whole house was made

out of wood so the house burned down

very quickly The family didnt have

anywhere to live in Emily had to tell

her secret about the secret door to save

herself and her parents she showed

them the way to the fairy world she

throw a piece of wood to the wall and

the wall began to open her parents

could not believe it Emily ran to

Emma and told her what

happened Emma got upset about the

burned house very much Emily asked

Emma if she and her parents could live

there then she showed Emma her

parents coming towards Emma saw how

devastated they were and felt really

sorry for them She immediately went to

ask the fairy queen whether Emily and

her parents could stay there after long

hours of discussions and talk they

decided to let Emily and her parents

stay And they lived happily ever after

places I have lived I have lived in 4

different places I was born in

Kenya I stayed in Kenya for a

while From Kenya I moved to

Holland I moved to a city

called Rotterdam in

Holland I liked Holland

because the schools were

close to our home But

what I didnrsquot like was that

not so many people were

nice For example they

didnrsquot help when we

asked for help to find

places I had nice friends

to play with in Rotterdam

My Life Story Jeremiah Nyancho

OslashISIE -acuteOslashsterbro International School In English 49

When I was 6 years old I

moved to Copenhagen in Denmark

At the start we stayed in a hotel At

the very beginning I felt like I

wanted to go back to Kenya I

didnrsquot want to move The hard part

was packing When I had to say

goodbye it was ok but when my

sister had to say goodbye she

cried At the start in Copenhagen it

was hard taking trains to school

because I was learning how to take

a train Now I am 12 years old soon

13 in 4 months and I like it in

Copenhagen The people are

helpful I like the friends here they

are nice I think it is a nice thing to

move around When I am older and

I have a job I want to travel all

around the world I especially

would like to live in Rio

My two main interests are

sports and electronics My favorite

sports are basketball football and

swimming When I was 6 I liked

football then when I was 11 years

old I liked swimming and now that

I am 12 I started to like basketball

Sports make me who I am I used to

go to a swimming club and it was

hard from the beginning

Swimming is hard because it is

hard to cope with others who are

good and fast I used to play on a

football team and it was hard to

cope with the good footballers It

was boring without activities I

hope I join a new football club I

play basketball during breaks and

PE time and I want to keep playing

these sports in the future My

favorite electronics are IPad WII

and Nintendo DS I like these

because they are fun I use my IPad

for email and games Electronics

are part of my daily life

In conclusion my life is

being active and having fun My

family is important to my life I like

that my family are around the

world I have enjoyed moving to

different places The hard thing is

to say goodbye to friends I feel I

have a lot of interests I hope you

enjoyed my life story

Memoirs whispered and then I thought lsquoThatrsquos

a pretty namersquo but I had to see her to

see if she looked like the beautiful

name The door swooshed open as I

pushed it with all my might I tip-toed

over to the bed where my mom and

sister lay

There she was with her small eyes

and lips reflecting what was in front

of her like a crystal clean mirror I

peeked over at my mom who was

almost asleep because of her

exhaustion Then I stepped back to let

my sister and grandmother look at my

admirable new born sister My proud

dad walked over to them and talked

about how the birth went and the long

wait for it to happen At the corner of

my eye I spotted a huge window I

could see the parking lot and the

beautiful lake some 700 meters away

rdquoItrsquos a beautiful view from up hererdquo I

told my dad In that split second my

big sister crept over to me to admire

it as well The sun was bearing down

on us and it was becoming very hot

because of the midsummer warmth

There were only a few clouds and they

were as thick as cotton candy I could

honestly have eaten them I took a

seat in a small couch right in front of

us and then my dad asked if we

wanted to hold our little sister rdquoYesrdquo

We both exclaimed very excitingly

rdquoOkay but be very carefulrdquo He

scooped her up like an ice cream

spoon peeling up the ice cream and

then handed her over to us She had a

minute pink blanket over her to

protect her from the cold air around

her I started rocking her back and

forth as she was becoming

uncomfortable I looked at her

miniature fingers slowly coming to a

rest as she calmed down Without

notice I handed her over to my excited

sister

After a minute or so there was a

knock on the door Who could it be

Friends and family My dad crept

towards the door very quiet and

opened the creaking door In a split

second I knew who it was It was my

whole family Uncles aunts

grandfather and cousins I flew up

from my chair to say hello The next

thing I know is someone calling my

name Itrsquos my dadrsquos sister that has a

something in her hands a gift It must

be to me I thought as I hurried over to

her It was I ripped off the paper like

a mad man and then I saw a toy

airplane It was an old fighter aircraft

It looked like a Spitfire and it was so

breathtaking I gave her a big hug and

began playing with it From that day

In Bali there is a day in which it

is believed that devils come to the

island and look for life so everyone

has to be really quiet and use no

electricity so the devils think no

one lives on the island and they

will go away Itrsquos called Nyepi This

day is usually the most boring day

of the year but last Nyepi my

friend Isabella invited me to come

with her and her family to Lombok

where they dont celebrate Nyepi I

was really excited I packed a week

early and bought lots of snacks for

the trip It was a really short flight

from Bali to Lombok and we got

yucky chocolate pastry thingies I

dont really know what they were

and we got told off twice for being

too loud by this old lady sitting

next to us When we landed half

an hour later we went straight to

the hotel and had breakfast

On the first day we just

chilled at the hotel but the next

day we set off to a beach really far

A day at

the beach Ines Liokouras

OslashISIE -acuteOslashsterbro International School In English 23

Memoirs away While driving on the most

unbearable road I had ever driven

on we saw many peculiar things

People walking their cows and kids

running around barefoot banging

plastic bottles together to make

music It was a very uncomfortable

ride The air conditioner was

broken and it was extremely hot

outside The driver was playing

annoying K-pop music for the

whole three hour drive

The area where the beach was

located was a jungle and it didnt

look at all like a place where a

beach would be We rented four

worn out surfboards and seven

shabby looking boogie boards The

ocean seemed especially beautiful

that day and the water was the

most magnificent shade of blue It

really was like paradise with all the

palm trees and the smooth warm

sand We surfed all day not like

Mark Richards or anything In fact

we were really quite terrible at it

but it was one of those moments

where nothing in the world seemed

to matter

After swimming in the sea we

felt a bit yucky because of the salt

in the water So we wanted to take

a rinse but for some reason it was

all the way up by the road So we

ran barefoot across the dirt road

until we got to what looked like a

large tap We rinsed off but

because of the size it took forever

and in the time it took three huge

tourist busses passed by I realized

that this place was probably going

to become really touristy one day

and itrsquos a good thing I came before

the small island becomes too

cramped

We ate lunch in this really

cute hut It was a really nice place

it had coral mobiles everywhere

and smelt of the sea The food was

really good and we hung out on the

lounge chairs for a while eating lots

of crispy French fries and talking

about the usual random rubbish

Isabella and I always talk about

I dont remember what

happened after that but I do

remember how happy I was how I

just wanted to surf the waves

forever and lie in the sand until the

end of time But moments have to

pass Thatrsquos why we should enjoy

them All the little moments in life

should be enjoyed I do want to go

back to that little beach by the

jungle but Irsquom afraid that lombok

might start turning into a concrete

jungle full with grey skies and

murky waters But whatever

happens I know Irsquoll always have the

memory in my head

Book Suggestion

As a psychologist I would like to warmly

recommend Hans Christians Andersenrsquos

fairy tales stories fit for all ages HC

Andersens tales were read for me when I

was a child and I have often revisited

them in my work after I have spoken to

clients because they offer words and ideas

to psychological issues

Take for example the Little Mermaid A

tale is about a heroine with investigative

curiosity fascinated by the unknown and

intent on broadening her horizons She

has an intense longing to visit the world

above the sea by arranging the flowers in

her garden into the shape of the sun

listening to her grandmother and sisters

stories of the surface The world above

seems larger than her own and she wants

to know as much as she can about it

HC Andersen talks about things that

are on everyonersquos minds and yet he

makes it exciting and fantastic They are

short stories easy to read

My very own story

Once upon a time there lived a girl

named Emily She lived with her parents

in a small little house Her family was a

little poor but not that much One day

while Emily was playing with her doll

she accidently threw it in the wall and

suddenly the wall began to open She

could not believe her eyes She got a

little scared but didnt start to yell She

wanted to keep this a secret She always

dreamed of having a new adventure so

she went inside She could not believe

her eyes when she saw fairies flying

around Some of the fairies were

working and the little ones were

playing And at that moment she saw

the most beautiful fairy that looked like

a 12-year-old girl just like Emily was

Emily forgot about everything she had

seen and just wanted to be her friend

but she couldnrsquot just go and say hello

because she was a fairy and Emily was a

human She thought that the fairy might

get scared but she always wanted a best

friend so she went to say hello to her

The fairy got a little scared but she

couldnrsquot believe her eyes that a real

human talked to her The fairy said hello

back to Emily the fairy asked Emily

how did she find the fairy world Emily

told the whole story about how did she

find the fairy world When she was

finished the whole story she asked the

fairy what was her name The fairy said

her name was Emma and asked whatrsquos

yours Emily told her name

Emily and Emma talked and talked

When Emily remembered that it had

been an hour since she was in the fairy

land Emily thought her parents might

be worried about her so Emily told

Emma that she needed to go home and

she would meet her the other day And

that is how the days went Emily would

always go to the fairy world and meet

Emma And soon the whole fairy world

new about Emily and they were not

scared of her They treated her like a

fairy But one day it all turned out the

other way While Emilyrsquos was mom

cooking in the kitchen the oven caught

fire Since the whole house was made

out of wood so the house burned down

very quickly The family didnt have

anywhere to live in Emily had to tell

her secret about the secret door to save

herself and her parents she showed

them the way to the fairy world she

throw a piece of wood to the wall and

the wall began to open her parents

could not believe it Emily ran to

Emma and told her what

happened Emma got upset about the

burned house very much Emily asked

Emma if she and her parents could live

there then she showed Emma her

parents coming towards Emma saw how

devastated they were and felt really

sorry for them She immediately went to

ask the fairy queen whether Emily and

her parents could stay there after long

hours of discussions and talk they

decided to let Emily and her parents

stay And they lived happily ever after

places I have lived I have lived in 4

different places I was born in

Kenya I stayed in Kenya for a

while From Kenya I moved to

Holland I moved to a city

called Rotterdam in

Holland I liked Holland

because the schools were

close to our home But

what I didnrsquot like was that

not so many people were

nice For example they

didnrsquot help when we

asked for help to find

places I had nice friends

to play with in Rotterdam

My Life Story Jeremiah Nyancho

OslashISIE -acuteOslashsterbro International School In English 49

When I was 6 years old I

moved to Copenhagen in Denmark

At the start we stayed in a hotel At

the very beginning I felt like I

wanted to go back to Kenya I

didnrsquot want to move The hard part

was packing When I had to say

goodbye it was ok but when my

sister had to say goodbye she

cried At the start in Copenhagen it

was hard taking trains to school

because I was learning how to take

a train Now I am 12 years old soon

13 in 4 months and I like it in

Copenhagen The people are

helpful I like the friends here they

are nice I think it is a nice thing to

move around When I am older and

I have a job I want to travel all

around the world I especially

would like to live in Rio

My two main interests are

sports and electronics My favorite

sports are basketball football and

swimming When I was 6 I liked

football then when I was 11 years

old I liked swimming and now that

I am 12 I started to like basketball

Sports make me who I am I used to

go to a swimming club and it was

hard from the beginning

Swimming is hard because it is

hard to cope with others who are

good and fast I used to play on a

football team and it was hard to

cope with the good footballers It

was boring without activities I

hope I join a new football club I

play basketball during breaks and

PE time and I want to keep playing

these sports in the future My

favorite electronics are IPad WII

and Nintendo DS I like these

because they are fun I use my IPad

for email and games Electronics

are part of my daily life

In conclusion my life is

being active and having fun My

family is important to my life I like

that my family are around the

world I have enjoyed moving to

different places The hard thing is

to say goodbye to friends I feel I

have a lot of interests I hope you

enjoyed my life story

behind my sister and grandmother I

could hear my shoes creaking as I

increased the tempo as I couldnrsquot

wait to see my new born sister As I

peeked around the corner I could see

my dad opening the huge door

extremely quiet not to make my

exhausted mom annoyed of all the

noises My sister and I skipped happily

Christian Sorensen

OslashISIE -acuteOslashsterbro International School In English 21

Memoirs whispered and then I thought lsquoThatrsquos

a pretty namersquo but I had to see her to

see if she looked like the beautiful

name The door swooshed open as I

pushed it with all my might I tip-toed

over to the bed where my mom and

sister lay

There she was with her small eyes

and lips reflecting what was in front

of her like a crystal clean mirror I

peeked over at my mom who was

almost asleep because of her

exhaustion Then I stepped back to let

my sister and grandmother look at my

admirable new born sister My proud

dad walked over to them and talked

about how the birth went and the long

wait for it to happen At the corner of

my eye I spotted a huge window I

could see the parking lot and the

beautiful lake some 700 meters away

rdquoItrsquos a beautiful view from up hererdquo I

told my dad In that split second my

big sister crept over to me to admire

it as well The sun was bearing down

on us and it was becoming very hot

because of the midsummer warmth

There were only a few clouds and they

were as thick as cotton candy I could

honestly have eaten them I took a

seat in a small couch right in front of

us and then my dad asked if we

wanted to hold our little sister rdquoYesrdquo

We both exclaimed very excitingly

rdquoOkay but be very carefulrdquo He

scooped her up like an ice cream

spoon peeling up the ice cream and

then handed her over to us She had a

minute pink blanket over her to

protect her from the cold air around

her I started rocking her back and

forth as she was becoming

uncomfortable I looked at her

miniature fingers slowly coming to a

rest as she calmed down Without

notice I handed her over to my excited

sister

After a minute or so there was a

knock on the door Who could it be

Friends and family My dad crept

towards the door very quiet and

opened the creaking door In a split

second I knew who it was It was my

whole family Uncles aunts

grandfather and cousins I flew up

from my chair to say hello The next

thing I know is someone calling my

name Itrsquos my dadrsquos sister that has a

something in her hands a gift It must

be to me I thought as I hurried over to

her It was I ripped off the paper like

a mad man and then I saw a toy

airplane It was an old fighter aircraft

It looked like a Spitfire and it was so

breathtaking I gave her a big hug and

began playing with it From that day

on I have loved having a little sister

Memoirs

In Bali there is a day in which it

is believed that devils come to the

island and look for life so everyone

has to be really quiet and use no

electricity so the devils think no

one lives on the island and they

will go away Itrsquos called Nyepi This

day is usually the most boring day

of the year but last Nyepi my

friend Isabella invited me to come

with her and her family to Lombok

where they dont celebrate Nyepi I

was really excited I packed a week

early and bought lots of snacks for

the trip It was a really short flight

from Bali to Lombok and we got

yucky chocolate pastry thingies I

dont really know what they were

and we got told off twice for being

too loud by this old lady sitting

next to us When we landed half

an hour later we went straight to

the hotel and had breakfast

On the first day we just

chilled at the hotel but the next

day we set off to a beach really far

A day at

the beach Ines Liokouras

OslashISIE -acuteOslashsterbro International School In English 23

Memoirs away While driving on the most

unbearable road I had ever driven

on we saw many peculiar things

People walking their cows and kids

running around barefoot banging

plastic bottles together to make

music It was a very uncomfortable

ride The air conditioner was

broken and it was extremely hot

outside The driver was playing

annoying K-pop music for the

whole three hour drive

The area where the beach was

located was a jungle and it didnt

look at all like a place where a

beach would be We rented four

worn out surfboards and seven

shabby looking boogie boards The

ocean seemed especially beautiful

that day and the water was the

most magnificent shade of blue It

really was like paradise with all the

palm trees and the smooth warm

sand We surfed all day not like

Mark Richards or anything In fact

we were really quite terrible at it

but it was one of those moments

where nothing in the world seemed

to matter

After swimming in the sea we

felt a bit yucky because of the salt

in the water So we wanted to take

a rinse but for some reason it was

all the way up by the road So we

ran barefoot across the dirt road

until we got to what looked like a

large tap We rinsed off but

because of the size it took forever

and in the time it took three huge

tourist busses passed by I realized

that this place was probably going

to become really touristy one day

and itrsquos a good thing I came before

the small island becomes too

cramped

We ate lunch in this really

cute hut It was a really nice place

it had coral mobiles everywhere

and smelt of the sea The food was

really good and we hung out on the

lounge chairs for a while eating lots

of crispy French fries and talking

about the usual random rubbish

Isabella and I always talk about

I dont remember what

happened after that but I do

remember how happy I was how I

just wanted to surf the waves

forever and lie in the sand until the

end of time But moments have to

pass Thatrsquos why we should enjoy

them All the little moments in life

should be enjoyed I do want to go

back to that little beach by the

jungle but Irsquom afraid that lombok

might start turning into a concrete

jungle full with grey skies and

murky waters But whatever

happens I know Irsquoll always have the

memory in my head

Book Suggestion

As a psychologist I would like to warmly

recommend Hans Christians Andersenrsquos

fairy tales stories fit for all ages HC

Andersens tales were read for me when I

was a child and I have often revisited

them in my work after I have spoken to

clients because they offer words and ideas

to psychological issues

Take for example the Little Mermaid A

tale is about a heroine with investigative

curiosity fascinated by the unknown and

intent on broadening her horizons She

has an intense longing to visit the world

above the sea by arranging the flowers in

her garden into the shape of the sun

listening to her grandmother and sisters

stories of the surface The world above

seems larger than her own and she wants

to know as much as she can about it

HC Andersen talks about things that

are on everyonersquos minds and yet he

makes it exciting and fantastic They are

short stories easy to read

My very own story

Once upon a time there lived a girl

named Emily She lived with her parents

in a small little house Her family was a

little poor but not that much One day

while Emily was playing with her doll

she accidently threw it in the wall and

suddenly the wall began to open She

could not believe her eyes She got a

little scared but didnt start to yell She

wanted to keep this a secret She always

dreamed of having a new adventure so

she went inside She could not believe

her eyes when she saw fairies flying

around Some of the fairies were

working and the little ones were

playing And at that moment she saw

the most beautiful fairy that looked like

a 12-year-old girl just like Emily was

Emily forgot about everything she had

seen and just wanted to be her friend

but she couldnrsquot just go and say hello

because she was a fairy and Emily was a

human She thought that the fairy might

get scared but she always wanted a best

friend so she went to say hello to her

The fairy got a little scared but she

couldnrsquot believe her eyes that a real

human talked to her The fairy said hello

back to Emily the fairy asked Emily

how did she find the fairy world Emily

told the whole story about how did she

find the fairy world When she was

finished the whole story she asked the

fairy what was her name The fairy said

her name was Emma and asked whatrsquos

yours Emily told her name

Emily and Emma talked and talked

When Emily remembered that it had

been an hour since she was in the fairy

land Emily thought her parents might

be worried about her so Emily told

Emma that she needed to go home and

she would meet her the other day And

that is how the days went Emily would

always go to the fairy world and meet

Emma And soon the whole fairy world

new about Emily and they were not

scared of her They treated her like a

fairy But one day it all turned out the

other way While Emilyrsquos was mom

cooking in the kitchen the oven caught

fire Since the whole house was made

out of wood so the house burned down

very quickly The family didnt have

anywhere to live in Emily had to tell

her secret about the secret door to save

herself and her parents she showed

them the way to the fairy world she

throw a piece of wood to the wall and

the wall began to open her parents

could not believe it Emily ran to

Emma and told her what

happened Emma got upset about the

burned house very much Emily asked

Emma if she and her parents could live

there then she showed Emma her

parents coming towards Emma saw how

devastated they were and felt really

sorry for them She immediately went to

ask the fairy queen whether Emily and

her parents could stay there after long

hours of discussions and talk they

decided to let Emily and her parents

places I have lived I have lived in 4

different places I was born in

Kenya I stayed in Kenya for a

while From Kenya I moved to

Holland I moved to a city

called Rotterdam in

Holland I liked Holland

because the schools were

close to our home But

what I didnrsquot like was that

not so many people were

nice For example they

didnrsquot help when we

asked for help to find

places I had nice friends

to play with in Rotterdam

My Life Story Jeremiah Nyancho

OslashISIE -acuteOslashsterbro International School In English 49

When I was 6 years old I

moved to Copenhagen in Denmark

At the start we stayed in a hotel At

the very beginning I felt like I

wanted to go back to Kenya I

didnrsquot want to move The hard part

was packing When I had to say

goodbye it was ok but when my

sister had to say goodbye she

cried At the start in Copenhagen it

was hard taking trains to school

because I was learning how to take

a train Now I am 12 years old soon

13 in 4 months and I like it in

Copenhagen The people are

helpful I like the friends here they

are nice I think it is a nice thing to

move around When I am older and

I have a job I want to travel all

around the world I especially

would like to live in Rio

My two main interests are

sports and electronics My favorite

sports are basketball football and

swimming When I was 6 I liked

football then when I was 11 years

old I liked swimming and now that

I am 12 I started to like basketball

Sports make me who I am I used to

go to a swimming club and it was

hard from the beginning

Swimming is hard because it is

hard to cope with others who are

good and fast I used to play on a

football team and it was hard to

cope with the good footballers It

was boring without activities I

hope I join a new football club I

play basketball during breaks and

PE time and I want to keep playing

these sports in the future My

favorite electronics are IPad WII

and Nintendo DS I like these

because they are fun I use my IPad

for email and games Electronics

are part of my daily life

In conclusion my life is

being active and having fun My

family is important to my life I like

that my family are around the

world I have enjoyed moving to

different places The hard thing is

to say goodbye to friends I feel I

have a lot of interests I hope you

enjoyed my life story

rdquoDingrdquo exclaimed the elevator to

inform us that we were at our

selected level I slowly stepped out of

the giant elevator and started making

my way to the room staying right

behind my sister and grandmother I

could hear my shoes creaking as I

increased the tempo as I couldnrsquot

wait to see my new born sister As I

peeked around the corner I could see

my dad opening the huge door

extremely quiet not to make my

exhausted mom annoyed of all the

noises My sister and I skipped happily

to the door as my dad announced my

little sisters namerdquoMathilderdquo he

My sisterrsquos birth

Christian Sorensen

OslashISIE -acuteOslashsterbro International School In English 21

Memoirs whispered and then I thought lsquoThatrsquos

a pretty namersquo but I had to see her to

see if she looked like the beautiful

name The door swooshed open as I

pushed it with all my might I tip-toed

over to the bed where my mom and

sister lay

There she was with her small eyes

and lips reflecting what was in front

of her like a crystal clean mirror I

peeked over at my mom who was

almost asleep because of her

exhaustion Then I stepped back to let

my sister and grandmother look at my

admirable new born sister My proud

dad walked over to them and talked

about how the birth went and the long

wait for it to happen At the corner of

my eye I spotted a huge window I

could see the parking lot and the

beautiful lake some 700 meters away

rdquoItrsquos a beautiful view from up hererdquo I

told my dad In that split second my

big sister crept over to me to admire

it as well The sun was bearing down

on us and it was becoming very hot

because of the midsummer warmth

There were only a few clouds and they

were as thick as cotton candy I could

honestly have eaten them I took a

seat in a small couch right in front of

us and then my dad asked if we

wanted to hold our little sister rdquoYesrdquo

We both exclaimed very excitingly

rdquoOkay but be very carefulrdquo He

scooped her up like an ice cream

spoon peeling up the ice cream and

then handed her over to us She had a

minute pink blanket over her to

protect her from the cold air around

her I started rocking her back and

forth as she was becoming

uncomfortable I looked at her

miniature fingers slowly coming to a

rest as she calmed down Without

notice I handed her over to my excited

sister

After a minute or so there was a

knock on the door Who could it be

Friends and family My dad crept

towards the door very quiet and

opened the creaking door In a split

second I knew who it was It was my

whole family Uncles aunts

grandfather and cousins I flew up

from my chair to say hello The next

thing I know is someone calling my

name Itrsquos my dadrsquos sister that has a

something in her hands a gift It must

be to me I thought as I hurried over to

her It was I ripped off the paper like

a mad man and then I saw a toy

airplane It was an old fighter aircraft

It looked like a Spitfire and it was so

breathtaking I gave her a big hug and

began playing with it From that day

on I have loved having a little sister

and I will definitely for the rest of my

life

Memoirs

In Bali there is a day in which it

is believed that devils come to the

island and look for life so everyone

has to be really quiet and use no

electricity so the devils think no

one lives on the island and they

will go away Itrsquos called Nyepi This

day is usually the most boring day

of the year but last Nyepi my

friend Isabella invited me to come

with her and her family to Lombok

where they dont celebrate Nyepi I

was really excited I packed a week

early and bought lots of snacks for

the trip It was a really short flight

from Bali to Lombok and we got

yucky chocolate pastry thingies I

dont really know what they were

and we got told off twice for being

too loud by this old lady sitting

next to us When we landed half

an hour later we went straight to

the hotel and had breakfast

On the first day we just

chilled at the hotel but the next

day we set off to a beach really far

A day at

the beach Ines Liokouras

OslashISIE -acuteOslashsterbro International School In English 23

Memoirs away While driving on the most

unbearable road I had ever driven

on we saw many peculiar things

People walking their cows and kids

running around barefoot banging

plastic bottles together to make

music It was a very uncomfortable

ride The air conditioner was

broken and it was extremely hot

outside The driver was playing

annoying K-pop music for the

whole three hour drive

The area where the beach was

located was a jungle and it didnt

look at all like a place where a

beach would be We rented four

worn out surfboards and seven

shabby looking boogie boards The

ocean seemed especially beautiful

that day and the water was the

most magnificent shade of blue It

really was like paradise with all the

palm trees and the smooth warm

sand We surfed all day not like

Mark Richards or anything In fact

we were really quite terrible at it

but it was one of those moments

where nothing in the world seemed

to matter

After swimming in the sea we

felt a bit yucky because of the salt

in the water So we wanted to take

a rinse but for some reason it was

all the way up by the road So we

ran barefoot across the dirt road

until we got to what looked like a

large tap We rinsed off but

because of the size it took forever

and in the time it took three huge

tourist busses passed by I realized

that this place was probably going

to become really touristy one day

and itrsquos a good thing I came before

the small island becomes too

cramped

We ate lunch in this really

cute hut It was a really nice place

it had coral mobiles everywhere

and smelt of the sea The food was

really good and we hung out on the

lounge chairs for a while eating lots

of crispy French fries and talking

about the usual random rubbish

Isabella and I always talk about

I dont remember what

happened after that but I do

remember how happy I was how I

just wanted to surf the waves

forever and lie in the sand until the

end of time But moments have to

pass Thatrsquos why we should enjoy

them All the little moments in life

should be enjoyed I do want to go

back to that little beach by the

jungle but Irsquom afraid that lombok

might start turning into a concrete

jungle full with grey skies and

murky waters But whatever

happens I know Irsquoll always have the

memory in my head

Book Suggestion

As a psychologist I would like to warmly

recommend Hans Christians Andersenrsquos

fairy tales stories fit for all ages HC

Andersens tales were read for me when I

was a child and I have often revisited

them in my work after I have spoken to

clients because they offer words and ideas

to psychological issues

Take for example the Little Mermaid A

tale is about a heroine with investigative

curiosity fascinated by the unknown and

intent on broadening her horizons She

has an intense longing to visit the world

above the sea by arranging the flowers in

her garden into the shape of the sun

listening to her grandmother and sisters

stories of the surface The world above

seems larger than her own and she wants

to know as much as she can about it

HC Andersen talks about things that

are on everyonersquos minds and yet he

makes it exciting and fantastic They are

short stories easy to read

cooking making lunch washing

the dishes and cleaning the house

We also have family time from

Friday at 1800 until Saturday at

1800 During family time we rest

together we talk and have some

fun

I will now talk about the

places I have lived I have lived in 4

different places I was born in

Kenya I stayed in Kenya for a

while From Kenya I moved to

Holland I moved to a city

called Rotterdam in

Holland I liked Holland

because the schools were

close to our home But

what I didnrsquot like was that

not so many people were

nice For example they

didnrsquot help when we

asked for help to find

places I had nice friends

to play with in Rotterdam

My Life Story Jeremiah Nyancho

OslashISIE -acuteOslashsterbro International School In English 49

When I was 6 years old I

moved to Copenhagen in Denmark

At the start we stayed in a hotel At

the very beginning I felt like I

wanted to go back to Kenya I

didnrsquot want to move The hard part

was packing When I had to say

goodbye it was ok but when my

sister had to say goodbye she

cried At the start in Copenhagen it

was hard taking trains to school

because I was learning how to take

a train Now I am 12 years old soon

13 in 4 months and I like it in

Copenhagen The people are

helpful I like the friends here they

are nice I think it is a nice thing to

move around When I am older and

I have a job I want to travel all

around the world I especially

would like to live in Rio

My two main interests are

sports and electronics My favorite

sports are basketball football and

swimming When I was 6 I liked

football then when I was 11 years

old I liked swimming and now that

I am 12 I started to like basketball

Sports make me who I am I used to

go to a swimming club and it was

hard from the beginning

Swimming is hard because it is

hard to cope with others who are

good and fast I used to play on a

football team and it was hard to

cope with the good footballers It

was boring without activities I

hope I join a new football club I

play basketball during breaks and

PE time and I want to keep playing

these sports in the future My

favorite electronics are IPad WII

and Nintendo DS I like these

because they are fun I use my IPad

for email and games Electronics

are part of my daily life

In conclusion my life is

being active and having fun My

family is important to my life I like

that my family are around the

world I have enjoyed moving to

different places The hard thing is

to say goodbye to friends I feel I

have a lot of interests I hope you

enjoyed my life story

inform us that we were at our

selected level I slowly stepped out of

the giant elevator and started making

my way to the room staying right

behind my sister and grandmother I

could hear my shoes creaking as I

increased the tempo as I couldnrsquot

wait to see my new born sister As I

peeked around the corner I could see

my dad opening the huge door

extremely quiet not to make my

exhausted mom annoyed of all the

noises My sister and I skipped happily

to the door as my dad announced my

Christian Sorensen

OslashISIE -acuteOslashsterbro International School In English 21

Memoirs whispered and then I thought lsquoThatrsquos

a pretty namersquo but I had to see her to

see if she looked like the beautiful

name The door swooshed open as I

pushed it with all my might I tip-toed

over to the bed where my mom and

sister lay

There she was with her small eyes

and lips reflecting what was in front

of her like a crystal clean mirror I

peeked over at my mom who was

almost asleep because of her

exhaustion Then I stepped back to let

my sister and grandmother look at my

admirable new born sister My proud

dad walked over to them and talked

about how the birth went and the long

wait for it to happen At the corner of

my eye I spotted a huge window I

could see the parking lot and the

beautiful lake some 700 meters away

rdquoItrsquos a beautiful view from up hererdquo I

told my dad In that split second my

big sister crept over to me to admire

it as well The sun was bearing down

on us and it was becoming very hot

because of the midsummer warmth

There were only a few clouds and they

were as thick as cotton candy I could

honestly have eaten them I took a

seat in a small couch right in front of

us and then my dad asked if we

wanted to hold our little sister rdquoYesrdquo

We both exclaimed very excitingly

rdquoOkay but be very carefulrdquo He

scooped her up like an ice cream

spoon peeling up the ice cream and

then handed her over to us She had a

minute pink blanket over her to

protect her from the cold air around

her I started rocking her back and

forth as she was becoming

uncomfortable I looked at her

miniature fingers slowly coming to a

rest as she calmed down Without

notice I handed her over to my excited

sister

After a minute or so there was a

knock on the door Who could it be

Friends and family My dad crept

towards the door very quiet and

opened the creaking door In a split

second I knew who it was It was my

whole family Uncles aunts

grandfather and cousins I flew up

from my chair to say hello The next

thing I know is someone calling my

name Itrsquos my dadrsquos sister that has a

something in her hands a gift It must

be to me I thought as I hurried over to

her It was I ripped off the paper like

a mad man and then I saw a toy

airplane It was an old fighter aircraft

It looked like a Spitfire and it was so

breathtaking I gave her a big hug and

began playing with it From that day

on I have loved having a little sister

and I will definitely for the rest of my

life

Memoirs

In Bali there is a day in which it

is believed that devils come to the

island and look for life so everyone

has to be really quiet and use no

electricity so the devils think no

one lives on the island and they

will go away Itrsquos called Nyepi This

day is usually the most boring day

of the year but last Nyepi my

friend Isabella invited me to come

with her and her family to Lombok

where they dont celebrate Nyepi I

was really excited I packed a week

early and bought lots of snacks for

the trip It was a really short flight

from Bali to Lombok and we got

yucky chocolate pastry thingies I

dont really know what they were

and we got told off twice for being

too loud by this old lady sitting

next to us When we landed half

an hour later we went straight to

the hotel and had breakfast

On the first day we just

chilled at the hotel but the next

day we set off to a beach really far

A day at

the beach Ines Liokouras

OslashISIE -acuteOslashsterbro International School In English 23

Memoirs away While driving on the most

unbearable road I had ever driven

on we saw many peculiar things

People walking their cows and kids

running around barefoot banging

plastic bottles together to make

music It was a very uncomfortable

ride The air conditioner was

broken and it was extremely hot

outside The driver was playing

annoying K-pop music for the

whole three hour drive

The area where the beach was

located was a jungle and it didnt

look at all like a place where a

beach would be We rented four

worn out surfboards and seven

shabby looking boogie boards The

ocean seemed especially beautiful

that day and the water was the

most magnificent shade of blue It

really was like paradise with all the

palm trees and the smooth warm

sand We surfed all day not like

Mark Richards or anything In fact

we were really quite terrible at it

but it was one of those moments

where nothing in the world seemed

to matter

After swimming in the sea we

felt a bit yucky because of the salt

in the water So we wanted to take

a rinse but for some reason it was

all the way up by the road So we

ran barefoot across the dirt road

until we got to what looked like a

large tap We rinsed off but

because of the size it took forever

and in the time it took three huge

tourist busses passed by I realized

that this place was probably going

to become really touristy one day

and itrsquos a good thing I came before

the small island becomes too

cramped

We ate lunch in this really

cute hut It was a really nice place

it had coral mobiles everywhere

and smelt of the sea The food was

really good and we hung out on the

lounge chairs for a while eating lots

of crispy French fries and talking

about the usual random rubbish

Isabella and I always talk about

I dont remember what

happened after that but I do

remember how happy I was how I

just wanted to surf the waves

forever and lie in the sand until the

end of time But moments have to

pass Thatrsquos why we should enjoy

them All the little moments in life

should be enjoyed I do want to go

back to that little beach by the

jungle but Irsquom afraid that lombok

might start turning into a concrete

jungle full with grey skies and

murky waters But whatever

happens I know Irsquoll always have the

memory in my head

Book Suggestion

As a psychologist I would like to warmly

recommend Hans Christians Andersenrsquos

fairy tales stories fit for all ages HC

Andersens tales were read for me when I

was a child and I have often revisited

them in my work after I have spoken to

clients because they offer words and ideas

to psychological issues

Take for example the Little Mermaid A

tale is about a heroine with investigative

curiosity fascinated by the unknown and

intent on broadening her horizons She

has an intense longing to visit the world

above the sea by arranging the flowers in

her garden into the shape of the sun

listening to her grandmother and sisters

stories of the surface The world above

seems larger than her own and she wants

to know as much as she can about it

HC Andersen talks about things that

are on everyonersquos minds and yet he

makes it exciting and fantastic They are

short stories easy to read

Once upon a time there lived a girl

named Emily She lived with her parents

in a small little house Her family was a

little poor but not that much One day

while Emily was playing with her doll

she accidently threw it in the wall and

suddenly the wall began to open She

could not believe her eyes She got a

little scared but didnt start to yell She

wanted to keep this a secret She always

dreamed of having a new adventure so

she went inside She could not believe

her eyes when she saw fairies flying

around Some of the fairies were

working and the little ones were

playing And at that moment she saw

the most beautiful fairy that looked like

a 12-year-old girl just like Emily was

Emily forgot about everything she had

seen and just wanted to be her friend

but she couldnrsquot just go and say hello

because she was a fairy and Emily was a

human She thought that the fairy might

get scared but she always wanted a best

friend so she went to say hello to her

The fairy got a little scared but she

couldnrsquot believe her eyes that a real

human talked to her The fairy said hello

back to Emily the fairy asked Emily

how did she find the fairy world Emily

told the whole story about how did she

find the fairy world When she was

finished the whole story she asked the

fairy what was her name The fairy said

her name was Emma and asked whatrsquos

yours Emily told her name

Emily and Emma talked and talked

When Emily remembered that it had

been an hour since she was in the fairy

land Emily thought her parents might

be worried about her so Emily told

Emma that she needed to go home and

she would meet her the other day And

that is how the days went Emily would

always go to the fairy world and meet

Emma And soon the whole fairy world

new about Emily and they were not

scared of her They treated her like a

fairy But one day it all turned out the

other way While Emilyrsquos was mom

cooking in the kitchen the oven caught

fire Since the whole house was made

out of wood so the house burned down

very quickly The family didnt have

anywhere to live in Emily had to tell

her secret about the secret door to save

herself and her parents she showed

them the way to the fairy world she

throw a piece of wood to the wall and

the wall began to open her parents

could not believe it Emily ran to

Emma and told her what

happened Emma got upset about the

burned house very much Emily asked

Emma if she and her parents could live

there then she showed Emma her

parents coming towards Emma saw how

devastated they were and felt really

sorry for them She immediately went to

ask the fairy queen whether Emily and

her parents could stay there after long

hours of discussions and talk they

decided to let Emily and her parents

stay And they lived happily ever after

different places I was born in

Kenya I stayed in Kenya for a

while From Kenya I moved to

Holland I moved to a city

called Rotterdam in

Holland I liked Holland

because the schools were

nice For example they

asked for help to find

places I had nice friends

to play with in Rotterdam

My Life Story Jeremiah Nyancho

OslashISIE -acuteOslashsterbro International School In English 49

When I was 6 years old I

moved to Copenhagen in Denmark

At the start we stayed in a hotel At

the very beginning I felt like I

wanted to go back to Kenya I

didnrsquot want to move The hard part

was packing When I had to say

goodbye it was ok but when my

sister had to say goodbye she

cried At the start in Copenhagen it

was hard taking trains to school

because I was learning how to take

a train Now I am 12 years old soon

13 in 4 months and I like it in

Copenhagen The people are

helpful I like the friends here they

are nice I think it is a nice thing to

move around When I am older and

I have a job I want to travel all

around the world I especially

would like to live in Rio

My two main interests are

sports and electronics My favorite

sports are basketball football and

swimming When I was 6 I liked

football then when I was 11 years

old I liked swimming and now that

I am 12 I started to like basketball

Sports make me who I am I used to

go to a swimming club and it was

hard from the beginning

Swimming is hard because it is

hard to cope with others who are

good and fast I used to play on a

football team and it was hard to

cope with the good footballers It

was boring without activities I

hope I join a new football club I

play basketball during breaks and

PE time and I want to keep playing

these sports in the future My

favorite electronics are IPad WII

and Nintendo DS I like these

because they are fun I use my IPad

for email and games Electronics

are part of my daily life

In conclusion my life is

being active and having fun My

family is important to my life I like

that my family are around the

world I have enjoyed moving to

different places The hard thing is

to say goodbye to friends I feel I

have a lot of interests I hope you

enjoyed my life story

the giant elevator and started making

my way to the room staying right

behind my sister and grandmother I

could hear my shoes creaking as I

increased the tempo as I couldnrsquot

wait to see my new born sister As I

peeked around the corner I could see

my dad opening the huge door

extremely quiet not to make my

exhausted mom annoyed of all the

noises My sister and I skipped happily

to the door as my dad announced my

little sisters namerdquoMathilderdquo he

Memoirs whispered and then I thought lsquoThatrsquos

a pretty namersquo but I had to see her to

see if she looked like the beautiful

name The door swooshed open as I

pushed it with all my might I tip-toed

over to the bed where my mom and

sister lay

There she was with her small eyes

and lips reflecting what was in front

of her like a crystal clean mirror I

peeked over at my mom who was

almost asleep because of her

exhaustion Then I stepped back to let

my sister and grandmother look at my

admirable new born sister My proud

dad walked over to them and talked

about how the birth went and the long

wait for it to happen At the corner of

my eye I spotted a huge window I

could see the parking lot and the

beautiful lake some 700 meters away

rdquoItrsquos a beautiful view from up hererdquo I

told my dad In that split second my

big sister crept over to me to admire

it as well The sun was bearing down

on us and it was becoming very hot

because of the midsummer warmth

There were only a few clouds and they

were as thick as cotton candy I could

honestly have eaten them I took a

seat in a small couch right in front of

us and then my dad asked if we

wanted to hold our little sister rdquoYesrdquo

We both exclaimed very excitingly

rdquoOkay but be very carefulrdquo He

scooped her up like an ice cream

spoon peeling up the ice cream and

then handed her over to us She had a

minute pink blanket over her to

protect her from the cold air around

her I started rocking her back and

forth as she was becoming

uncomfortable I looked at her

miniature fingers slowly coming to a

rest as she calmed down Without

notice I handed her over to my excited

sister

After a minute or so there was a

knock on the door Who could it be

Friends and family My dad crept

towards the door very quiet and

opened the creaking door In a split

second I knew who it was It was my

whole family Uncles aunts

grandfather and cousins I flew up

from my chair to say hello The next

thing I know is someone calling my

name Itrsquos my dadrsquos sister that has a

something in her hands a gift It must

be to me I thought as I hurried over to

her It was I ripped off the paper like

a mad man and then I saw a toy

airplane It was an old fighter aircraft

It looked like a Spitfire and it was so

breathtaking I gave her a big hug and

began playing with it From that day

on I have loved having a little sister

and I will definitely for the rest of my

life

Memoirs

In Bali there is a day in which it

is believed that devils come to the

island and look for life so everyone

has to be really quiet and use no

electricity so the devils think no

one lives on the island and they

will go away Itrsquos called Nyepi This

day is usually the most boring day

of the year but last Nyepi my

friend Isabella invited me to come

with her and her family to Lombok

where they dont celebrate Nyepi I

was really excited I packed a week

early and bought lots of snacks for

the trip It was a really short flight

from Bali to Lombok and we got

yucky chocolate pastry thingies I

dont really know what they were

and we got told off twice for being

too loud by this old lady sitting

next to us When we landed half

an hour later we went straight to

the hotel and had breakfast

On the first day we just

chilled at the hotel but the next

day we set off to a beach really far

A day at

the beach Ines Liokouras

OslashISIE -acuteOslashsterbro International School In English 23

Memoirs away While driving on the most

unbearable road I had ever driven

on we saw many peculiar things

People walking their cows and kids

running around barefoot banging

plastic bottles together to make

music It was a very uncomfortable

ride The air conditioner was

broken and it was extremely hot

outside The driver was playing

annoying K-pop music for the

whole three hour drive

The area where the beach was

located was a jungle and it didnt

look at all like a place where a

beach would be We rented four

worn out surfboards and seven

shabby looking boogie boards The

ocean seemed especially beautiful

that day and the water was the

most magnificent shade of blue It

really was like paradise with all the

palm trees and the smooth warm

sand We surfed all day not like

Mark Richards or anything In fact

we were really quite terrible at it

but it was one of those moments

where nothing in the world seemed

to matter

After swimming in the sea we

felt a bit yucky because of the salt

in the water So we wanted to take

a rinse but for some reason it was

all the way up by the road So we

ran barefoot across the dirt road

until we got to what looked like a

large tap We rinsed off but

because of the size it took forever

and in the time it took three huge

tourist busses passed by I realized

that this place was probably going

to become really touristy one day

and itrsquos a good thing I came before

the small island becomes too

cramped

We ate lunch in this really

cute hut It was a really nice place

it had coral mobiles everywhere

and smelt of the sea The food was

really good and we hung out on the

lounge chairs for a while eating lots

of crispy French fries and talking

about the usual random rubbish

Isabella and I always talk about

I dont remember what

happened after that but I do

remember how happy I was how I

just wanted to surf the waves

forever and lie in the sand until the

end of time But moments have to

pass Thatrsquos why we should enjoy

them All the little moments in life

should be enjoyed I do want to go

back to that little beach by the

jungle but Irsquom afraid that lombok

might start turning into a concrete

jungle full with grey skies and

murky waters But whatever

happens I know Irsquoll always have the

memory in my head

Book Suggestion

As a psychologist I would like to warmly

recommend Hans Christians Andersenrsquos

fairy tales stories fit for all ages HC

Andersens tales were read for me when I

was a child and I have often revisited

them in my work after I have spoken to

clients because they offer words and ideas

to psychological issues

Take for example the Little Mermaid A

tale is about a heroine with investigative

curiosity fascinated by the unknown and

intent on broadening her horizons She

has an intense longing to visit the world

above the sea by arranging the flowers in

her garden into the shape of the sun

listening to her grandmother and sisters

stories of the surface The world above

seems larger than her own and she wants

to know as much as she can about it

HC Andersen talks about things that

are on everyonersquos minds and yet he

makes it exciting and fantastic They are

short stories easy to read

Once upon a time there lived a girl

named Emily She lived with her parents

little scared but didnt start to yell She

wanted to keep this a secret She always

dreamed of having a new adventure so

she went inside She could not believe

her eyes when she saw fairies flying

around Some of the fairies were

working and the little ones were

playing And at that moment she saw

the most beautiful fairy that looked like

a 12-year-old girl just like Emily was

Emily forgot about everything she had

seen and just wanted to be her friend

but she couldnrsquot just go and say hello

because she was a fairy and Emily was a

human She thought that the fairy might

get scared but she always wanted a best

friend so she went to say hello to her

The fairy got a little scared but she

couldnrsquot believe her eyes that a real

human talked to her The fairy said hello

back to Emily the fairy asked Emily

how did she find the fairy world Emily

told the whole story about how did she

find the fairy world When she was

finished the whole story she asked the

fairy what was her name The fairy said

her name was Emma and asked whatrsquos

yours Emily told her name

Emily and Emma talked and talked

When Emily remembered that it had

been an hour since she was in the fairy

land Emily thought her parents might

be worried about her so Emily told

Emma that she needed to go home and

she would meet her the other day And

that is how the days went Emily would

always go to the fairy world and meet

Emma And soon the whole fairy world

new about Emily and they were not

scared of her They treated her like a

fairy But one day it all turned out the

other way While Emilyrsquos was mom

cooking in the kitchen the oven caught

fire Since the whole house was made

out of wood so the house burned down

very quickly The family didnt have

anywhere to live in Emily had to tell

her secret about the secret door to save

herself and her parents she showed

them the way to the fairy world she

throw a piece of wood to the wall and

the wall began to open her parents

could not believe it Emily ran to

Emma and told her what

happened Emma got upset about the

burned house very much Emily asked

Emma if she and her parents could live

there then she showed Emma her

parents coming towards Emma saw how

devastated they were and felt really

sorry for them She immediately went to

ask the fairy queen whether Emily and

her parents could stay there after long

hours of discussions and talk they

decided to let Emily and her parents

stay And they lived happily ever after

different places I was born in

Kenya I stayed in Kenya for a

while From Kenya I moved to

Holland I moved to a city

called Rotterdam in

Holland I liked Holland

because the schools were

close to our home But

what I didnrsquot like was that

not so many people were

nice For example they

didnrsquot help when we

asked for help to find

places I had nice friends

to play with in Rotterdam

My Life Story Jeremiah Nyancho

OslashISIE -acuteOslashsterbro International School In English 49

When I was 6 years old I

moved to Copenhagen in Denmark

At the start we stayed in a hotel At

the very beginning I felt like I

wanted to go back to Kenya I

didnrsquot want to move The hard part

was packing When I had to say

goodbye it was ok but when my

sister had to say goodbye she

cried At the start in Copenhagen it

was hard taking trains to school

because I was learning how to take

a train Now I am 12 years old soon

13 in 4 months and I like it in

Copenhagen The people are

helpful I like the friends here they

are nice I think it is a nice thing to

move around When I am older and

I have a job I want to travel all

around the world I especially

would like to live in Rio

My two main interests are

sports and electronics My favorite

sports are basketball football and

swimming When I was 6 I liked

football then when I was 11 years

old I liked swimming and now that

I am 12 I started to like basketball

Sports make me who I am I used to

go to a swimming club and it was

hard from the beginning

Swimming is hard because it is

hard to cope with others who are

good and fast I used to play on a

football team and it was hard to

cope with the good footballers It

was boring without activities I

hope I join a new football club I

play basketball during breaks and

PE time and I want to keep playing

these sports in the future My

favorite electronics are IPad WII

and Nintendo DS I like these

because they are fun I use my IPad

for email and games Electronics

are part of my daily life

In conclusion my life is

being active and having fun My

family is important to my life I like

that my family are around the

world I have enjoyed moving to

different places The hard thing is

to say goodbye to friends I feel I

have a lot of interests I hope you

enjoyed my life story

There she was with her small eyes

and lips reflecting what was in front

of her like a crystal clean mirror I

peeked over at my mom who was

almost asleep because of her

exhaustion Then I stepped back to let

my sister and grandmother look at my

admirable new born sister My proud

dad walked over to them and talked

about how the birth went and the long

wait for it to happen At the corner of

my eye I spotted a huge window I

could see the parking lot and the

beautiful lake some 700 meters away

rdquoItrsquos a beautiful view from up hererdquo I

told my dad In that split second my

big sister crept over to me to admire

it as well The sun was bearing down

on us and it was becoming very hot

because of the midsummer warmth

There were only a few clouds and they

were as thick as cotton candy I could

honestly have eaten them I took a

seat in a small couch right in front of

us and then my dad asked if we

wanted to hold our little sister rdquoYesrdquo

We both exclaimed very excitingly

rdquoOkay but be very carefulrdquo He

scooped her up like an ice cream

spoon peeling up the ice cream and

then handed her over to us She had a

minute pink blanket over her to

protect her from the cold air around

her I started rocking her back and

forth as she was becoming

uncomfortable I looked at her

miniature fingers slowly coming to a

rest as she calmed down Without

notice I handed her over to my excited

sister

After a minute or so there was a

knock on the door Who could it be

Friends and family My dad crept

towards the door very quiet and

opened the creaking door In a split

second I knew who it was It was my

grandfather and cousins I flew up

from my chair to say hello The next

next to us When we landed half

an hour later we went straight to

the hotel and had breakfast

On the first day we just

chilled at the hotel but the next

day we set off to a beach really far

A day at

the beach Ines Liokouras

OslashISIE -acuteOslashsterbro International School In English 23

Memoirs away While driving on the most

unbearable road I had ever driven

on we saw many peculiar things

People walking their cows and kids

running around barefoot banging

plastic bottles together to make

music It was a very uncomfortable

ride The air conditioner was

broken and it was extremely hot

outside The driver was playing

annoying K-pop music for the

whole three hour drive

The area where the beach was

located was a jungle and it didnt

look at all like a place where a

beach would be We rented four

worn out surfboards and seven

shabby looking boogie boards The

ocean seemed especially beautiful

that day and the water was the

most magnificent shade of blue It

really was like paradise with all the

palm trees and the smooth warm

sand We surfed all day not like

Mark Richards or anything In fact

we were really quite terrible at it

but it was one of those moments

where nothing in the world seemed

to matter

After swimming in the sea we

felt a bit yucky because of the salt

in the water So we wanted to take

a rinse but for some reason it was

all the way up by the road So we

ran barefoot across the dirt road

until we got to what looked like a

large tap We rinsed off but

because of the size it took forever

and in the time it took three huge

tourist busses passed by I realized

that this place was probably going

to become really touristy one day

and itrsquos a good thing I came before

the small island becomes too

cramped

We ate lunch in this really

cute hut It was a really nice place

it had coral mobiles everywhere

and smelt of the sea The food was

really good and we hung out on the

lounge chairs for a while eating lots

of crispy French fries and talking

about the usual random rubbish

Isabella and I always talk about

I dont remember what

happened after that but I do

remember how happy I was how I

just wanted to surf the waves

forever and lie in the sand until the

end of time But moments have to

pass Thatrsquos why we should enjoy

them All the little moments in life

should be enjoyed I do want to go

back to that little beach by the

jungle but Irsquom afraid that lombok

might start turning into a concrete

jungle full with grey skies and

murky waters But whatever

happens I know Irsquoll always have the

memory in my head

Book Suggestion

As a psychologist I would like to warmly

recommend Hans Christians Andersenrsquos

fairy tales stories fit for all ages HC

Andersens tales were read for me when I

was a child and I have often revisited

them in my work after I have spoken to

clients because they offer words and ideas

to psychological issues

Take for example the Little Mermaid A

tale is about a heroine with investigative

curiosity fascinated by the unknown and

intent on broadening her horizons She

has an intense longing to visit the world

above the sea by arranging the flowers in

her garden into the shape of the sun

listening to her grandmother and sisters

stories of the surface The world above

seems larger than her own and she wants

to know as much as she can about it

HC Andersen talks about things that

are on everyonersquos minds and yet he

makes it exciting and fantastic They are

short stories easy to read

Once upon a time there lived a girl

named Emily She lived with her parents

wanted to keep this a secret She always

dreamed of having a new adventure so

she went inside She could not believe

her eyes when she saw fairies flying

around Some of the fairies were

working and the little ones were

playing And at that moment she saw

the most beautiful fairy that looked like

a 12-year-old girl just like Emily was

Emily forgot about everything she had

seen and just wanted to be her friend

but she couldnrsquot just go and say hello

because she was a fairy and Emily was a

human She thought that the fairy might

get scared but she always wanted a best

friend so she went to say hello to her

The fairy got a little scared but she

couldnrsquot believe her eyes that a real

human talked to her The fairy said hello

back to Emily the fairy asked Emily

how did she find the fairy world Emily

told the whole story about how did she

find the fairy world When she was

finished the whole story she asked the

fairy what was her name The fairy said

her name was Emma and asked whatrsquos

yours Emily told her name

Emily and Emma talked and talked

When Emily remembered that it had

been an hour since she was in the fairy

land Emily thought her parents might

be worried about her so Emily told

Emma that she needed to go home and

she would meet her the other day And

that is how the days went Emily would

always go to the fairy world and meet

Emma And soon the whole fairy world

new about Emily and they were not

scared of her They treated her like a

fairy But one day it all turned out the

other way While Emilyrsquos was mom

cooking in the kitchen the oven caught

fire Since the whole house was made

out of wood so the house burned down

very quickly The family didnt have

anywhere to live in Emily had to tell

her secret about the secret door to save

herself and her parents she showed

them the way to the fairy world she

throw a piece of wood to the wall and

the wall began to open her parents

could not believe it Emily ran to

Emma and told her what

happened Emma got upset about the

burned house very much Emily asked

Emma if she and her parents could live

there then she showed Emma her

parents coming towards Emma saw how

devastated they were and felt really

sorry for them She immediately went to

ask the fairy queen whether Emily and

her parents could stay there after long

hours of discussions and talk they

decided to let Emily and her parents

stay And they lived happily ever after

places I have lived I have lived in 4

different places I was born in

Kenya I stayed in Kenya for a

while From Kenya I moved to

Holland I moved to a city

called Rotterdam in

Holland I liked Holland

because the schools were

close to our home But

what I didnrsquot like was that

not so many people were

nice For example they

didnrsquot help when we

asked for help to find

places I had nice friends

to play with in Rotterdam

My Life Story Jeremiah Nyancho

OslashISIE -acuteOslashsterbro International School In English 49

When I was 6 years old I

moved to Copenhagen in Denmark

At the start we stayed in a hotel At

the very beginning I felt like I

wanted to go back to Kenya I

didnrsquot want to move The hard part

was packing When I had to say

goodbye it was ok but when my

sister had to say goodbye she

cried At the start in Copenhagen it

was hard taking trains to school

because I was learning how to take

a train Now I am 12 years old soon

13 in 4 months and I like it in

Copenhagen The people are

helpful I like the friends here they

are nice I think it is a nice thing to

move around When I am older and

I have a job I want to travel all

around the world I especially

would like to live in Rio

My two main interests are

sports and electronics My favorite

sports are basketball football and

swimming When I was 6 I liked

football then when I was 11 years

old I liked swimming and now that

I am 12 I started to like basketball

Sports make me who I am I used to

go to a swimming club and it was

hard from the beginning

Swimming is hard because it is

hard to cope with others who are

good and fast I used to play on a

football team and it was hard to

cope with the good footballers It

was boring without activities I

hope I join a new football club I

play basketball during breaks and

PE time and I want to keep playing

these sports in the future My

favorite electronics are IPad WII

and Nintendo DS I like these

because they are fun I use my IPad

for email and games Electronics

are part of my daily life

In conclusion my life is

being active and having fun My

family is important to my life I like

that my family are around the

world I have enjoyed moving to

different places The hard thing is

to say goodbye to friends I feel I

have a lot of interests I hope you

enjoyed my life story

behind my sister and grandmother I

could hear my shoes creaking as I

increased the tempo as I couldnrsquot

wait to see my new born sister As I

peeked around the corner I could see

a pretty namersquo but I had to see her to

see if she looked like the beautiful

name The door swooshed open as I

pushed it with all my might I tip-toed

over to the bed where my mom and

sister lay

There she was with her small eyes

and lips reflecting what was in front

of her like a crystal clean mirror I

peeked over at my mom who was

almost asleep because of her

exhaustion Then I stepped back to let

my sister and grandmother look at my

admirable new born sister My proud

dad walked over to them and talked

about how the birth went and the long

wait for it to happen At the corner of

my eye I spotted a huge window I

could see the parking lot and the

beautiful lake some 700 meters away

rdquoItrsquos a beautiful view from up hererdquo I

told my dad In that split second my

big sister crept over to me to admire

it as well The sun was bearing down

on us and it was becoming very hot

because of the midsummer warmth

There were only a few clouds and they

were as thick as cotton candy I could

honestly have eaten them I took a

seat in a small couch right in front of

us and then my dad asked if we

wanted to hold our little sister rdquoYesrdquo

We both exclaimed very excitingly

rdquoOkay but be very carefulrdquo He

scooped her up like an ice cream

spoon peeling up the ice cream and

then handed her over to us She had a

minute pink blanket over her to

protect her from the cold air around

her I started rocking her back and

forth as she was becoming

uncomfortable I looked at her

miniature fingers slowly coming to a

rest as she calmed down Without

notice I handed her over to my excited

sister

After a minute or so there was a

knock on the door Who could it be

Friends and family My dad crept

towards the door very quiet and

opened the creaking door In a split

second I knew who it was It was my

whole family Uncles aunts

grandfather and cousins I flew up

from my chair to say hello The next

thing I know is someone calling my

name Itrsquos my dadrsquos sister that has a

something in her hands a gift It must

be to me I thought as I hurried over to

her It was I ripped off the paper like

a mad man and then I saw a toy

airplane It was an old fighter aircraft

It looked like a Spitfire and it was so

breathtaking I gave her a big hug and

began playing with it From that day

on I have loved having a little sister

and I will definitely for the rest of my

Memoirs

In Bali there is a day in which it

is believed that devils come to the

island and look for life so everyone

has to be really quiet and use no

electricity so the devils think no

one lives on the island and they

will go away Itrsquos called Nyepi This

day is usually the most boring day

of the year but last Nyepi my

friend Isabella invited me to come

with her and her family to Lombok

where they dont celebrate Nyepi I

was really excited I packed a week

early and bought lots of snacks for

the trip It was a really short flight

from Bali to Lombok and we got

yucky chocolate pastry thingies I

dont really know what they were

and we got told off twice for being

too loud by this old lady sitting

next to us When we landed half

an hour later we went straight to

the hotel and had breakfast

On the first day we just

chilled at the hotel but the next

day we set off to a beach really far

A day at

the beach Ines Liokouras

OslashISIE -acuteOslashsterbro International School In English 23

Memoirs away While driving on the most

unbearable road I had ever driven

on we saw many peculiar things

People walking their cows and kids

running around barefoot banging

plastic bottles together to make

music It was a very uncomfortable

ride The air conditioner was

broken and it was extremely hot

outside The driver was playing

annoying K-pop music for the

whole three hour drive

The area where the beach was

located was a jungle and it didnt

look at all like a place where a

beach would be We rented four

worn out surfboards and seven

shabby looking boogie boards The

ocean seemed especially beautiful

that day and the water was the

most magnificent shade of blue It

really was like paradise with all the

palm trees and the smooth warm

sand We surfed all day not like

Mark Richards or anything In fact

we were really quite terrible at it

but it was one of those moments

where nothing in the world seemed

to matter

After swimming in the sea we

felt a bit yucky because of the salt

in the water So we wanted to take

a rinse but for some reason it was

all the way up by the road So we

ran barefoot across the dirt road

until we got to what looked like a

large tap We rinsed off but

because of the size it took forever

and in the time it took three huge

tourist busses passed by I realized

that this place was probably going

to become really touristy one day

and itrsquos a good thing I came before

the small island becomes too

cramped

We ate lunch in this really

cute hut It was a really nice place

it had coral mobiles everywhere

and smelt of the sea The food was

really good and we hung out on the

lounge chairs for a while eating lots

of crispy French fries and talking

about the usual random rubbish

Isabella and I always talk about

I dont remember what

happened after that but I do

remember how happy I was how I

just wanted to surf the waves

forever and lie in the sand until the

end of time But moments have to

pass Thatrsquos why we should enjoy

them All the little moments in life

should be enjoyed I do want to go

back to that little beach by the

jungle but Irsquom afraid that lombok

might start turning into a concrete

jungle full with grey skies and

murky waters But whatever

happens I know Irsquoll always have the

memory in my head

Book Suggestion

As a psychologist I would like to warmly

recommend Hans Christians Andersenrsquos

fairy tales stories fit for all ages HC

Andersens tales were read for me when I

was a child and I have often revisited

them in my work after I have spoken to

clients because they offer words and ideas

to psychological issues

Take for example the Little Mermaid A

tale is about a heroine with investigative

curiosity fascinated by the unknown and

intent on broadening her horizons She

has an intense longing to visit the world

above the sea by arranging the flowers in

her garden into the shape of the sun

listening to her grandmother and sisters

stories of the surface The world above

seems larger than her own and she wants

to know as much as she can about it

HC Andersen talks about things that

are on everyonersquos minds and yet he

makes it exciting and fantastic They are

short stories easy to read

wanted to keep this a secret She always

dreamed of having a new adventure so

she went inside She could not believe

her eyes when she saw fairies flying

around Some of the fairies were

working and the little ones were

playing And at that moment she saw

the most beautiful fairy that looked like

a 12-year-old girl just like Emily was

Emily forgot about everything she had

seen and just wanted to be her friend

but she couldnrsquot just go and say hello

because she was a fairy and Emily was a

human She thought that the fairy might

get scared but she always wanted a best

friend so she went to say hello to her

The fairy got a little scared but she

couldnrsquot believe her eyes that a real

human talked to her The fairy said hello

back to Emily the fairy asked Emily

how did she find the fairy world Emily

told the whole story about how did she

find the fairy world When she was

finished the whole story she asked the

fairy what was her name The fairy said

her name was Emma and asked whatrsquos

yours Emily told her name

Emily and Emma talked and talked

When Emily remembered that it had

been an hour since she was in the fairy

land Emily thought her parents might

be worried about her so Emily told

Emma that she needed to go home and

she would meet her the other day And

that is how the days went Emily would

always go to the fairy world and meet

Emma And soon the whole fairy world

new about Emily and they were not

scared of her They treated her like a

fairy But one day it all turned out the

other way While Emilyrsquos was mom

cooking in the kitchen the oven caught

fire Since the whole house was made

out of wood so the house burned down

very quickly The family didnt have

anywhere to live in Emily had to tell

her secret about the secret door to save

herself and her parents she showed

them the way to the fairy world she

throw a piece of wood to the wall and

the wall began to open her parents

could not believe it Emily ran to

Emma and told her what

happened Emma got upset about the

burned house very much Emily asked

Emma if she and her parents could live

there then she showed Emma her

parents coming towards Emma saw how

devastated they were and felt really

sorry for them She immediately went to

ask the fairy queen whether Emily and

her parents could stay there after long

hours of discussions and talk they

decided to let Emily and her parents

stay And they lived happily ever after

different places I was born in

Kenya I stayed in Kenya for a

while From Kenya I moved to

Holland I moved to a city

called Rotterdam in

Holland I liked Holland

because the schools were

what I didnrsquot like was that

not so many people were

nice For example they

didnrsquot help when we

asked for help to find

places I had nice friends

to play with in Rotterdam

My Life Story Jeremiah Nyancho

OslashISIE -acuteOslashsterbro International School In English 49

When I was 6 years old I

moved to Copenhagen in Denmark

At the start we stayed in a hotel At

the very beginning I felt like I

wanted to go back to Kenya I

didnrsquot want to move The hard part

was packing When I had to say

goodbye it was ok but when my

sister had to say goodbye she

cried At the start in Copenhagen it

was hard taking trains to school

because I was learning how to take

a train Now I am 12 years old soon

13 in 4 months and I like it in

Copenhagen The people are

helpful I like the friends here they

are nice I think it is a nice thing to

move around When I am older and

I have a job I want to travel all

around the world I especially

would like to live in Rio

My two main interests are

sports and electronics My favorite

sports are basketball football and

swimming When I was 6 I liked

football then when I was 11 years

old I liked swimming and now that

I am 12 I started to like basketball

Sports make me who I am I used to

go to a swimming club and it was

hard from the beginning

Swimming is hard because it is

hard to cope with others who are

good and fast I used to play on a

football team and it was hard to

cope with the good footballers It

was boring without activities I

hope I join a new football club I

play basketball during breaks and

PE time and I want to keep playing

these sports in the future My

favorite electronics are IPad WII

and Nintendo DS I like these

because they are fun I use my IPad

for email and games Electronics

are part of my daily life

In conclusion my life is

being active and having fun My

family is important to my life I like

that my family are around the

world I have enjoyed moving to

different places The hard thing is

to say goodbye to friends I feel I

have a lot of interests I hope you

enjoyed my life story

behind my sister and grandmother I

could hear my shoes creaking as I

increased the tempo as I couldnrsquot

wait to see my new born sister As I

peeked around the corner I could see

extremely quiet not to make my

noises My sister and I skipped happily

OslashISIE -acuteOslashsterbro International School In English 21

Memoirs whispered and then I thought lsquoThatrsquos

a pretty namersquo but I had to see her to

see if she looked like the beautiful

name The door swooshed open as I

pushed it with all my might I tip-toed

over to the bed where my mom and

sister lay

There she was with her small eyes

and lips reflecting what was in front

of her like a crystal clean mirror I

peeked over at my mom who was

almost asleep because of her

exhaustion Then I stepped back to let

my sister and grandmother look at my

admirable new born sister My proud

dad walked over to them and talked

about how the birth went and the long

wait for it to happen At the corner of

my eye I spotted a huge window I

could see the parking lot and the

beautiful lake some 700 meters away

rdquoItrsquos a beautiful view from up hererdquo I

told my dad In that split second my

big sister crept over to me to admire

it as well The sun was bearing down

on us and it was becoming very hot

because of the midsummer warmth

There were only a few clouds and they

were as thick as cotton candy I could

honestly have eaten them I took a

seat in a small couch right in front of

us and then my dad asked if we

wanted to hold our little sister rdquoYesrdquo

We both exclaimed very excitingly

rdquoOkay but be very carefulrdquo He

scooped her up like an ice cream

spoon peeling up the ice cream and

then handed her over to us She had a

minute pink blanket over her to

protect her from the cold air around

her I started rocking her back and

forth as she was becoming

uncomfortable I looked at her

miniature fingers slowly coming to a

rest as she calmed down Without

notice I handed her over to my excited

sister

After a minute or so there was a

knock on the door Who could it be

Friends and family My dad crept

towards the door very quiet and

opened the creaking door In a split

second I knew who it was It was my

whole family Uncles aunts

grandfather and cousins I flew up

from my chair to say hello The next

thing I know is someone calling my

name Itrsquos my dadrsquos sister that has a

something in her hands a gift It must

be to me I thought as I hurried over to

her It was I ripped off the paper like

a mad man and then I saw a toy

airplane It was an old fighter aircraft

It looked like a Spitfire and it was so

breathtaking I gave her a big hug and

began playing with it From that day

on I have loved having a little sister

Memoirs

In Bali there is a day in which it

is believed that devils come to the

island and look for life so everyone

has to be really quiet and use no

electricity so the devils think no

one lives on the island and they

will go away Itrsquos called Nyepi This

day is usually the most boring day

of the year but last Nyepi my

friend Isabella invited me to come

with her and her family to Lombok

where they dont celebrate Nyepi I

was really excited I packed a week

early and bought lots of snacks for

the trip It was a really short flight

from Bali to Lombok and we got

yucky chocolate pastry thingies I

dont really know what they were

and we got told off twice for being

too loud by this old lady sitting

next to us When we landed half

an hour later we went straight to

the hotel and had breakfast

On the first day we just

chilled at the hotel but the next

day we set off to a beach really far

A day at

the beach Ines Liokouras

OslashISIE -acuteOslashsterbro International School In English 23

Memoirs away While driving on the most

unbearable road I had ever driven

on we saw many peculiar things

People walking their cows and kids

running around barefoot banging

plastic bottles together to make

music It was a very uncomfortable

ride The air conditioner was

broken and it was extremely hot

outside The driver was playing

annoying K-pop music for the

whole three hour drive

The area where the beach was

located was a jungle and it didnt

look at all like a place where a

beach would be We rented four

worn out surfboards and seven

shabby looking boogie boards The

ocean seemed especially beautiful

that day and the water was the

most magnificent shade of blue It

really was like paradise with all the

palm trees and the smooth warm

sand We surfed all day not like

Mark Richards or anything In fact

we were really quite terrible at it

but it was one of those moments

where nothing in the world seemed

to matter

After swimming in the sea we

felt a bit yucky because of the salt

in the water So we wanted to take

a rinse but for some reason it was

all the way up by the road So we

ran barefoot across the dirt road

until we got to what looked like a

large tap We rinsed off but

because of the size it took forever

and in the time it took three huge

tourist busses passed by I realized

that this place was probably going

to become really touristy one day

and itrsquos a good thing I came before

the small island becomes too

cramped

We ate lunch in this really

cute hut It was a really nice place

it had coral mobiles everywhere

and smelt of the sea The food was

really good and we hung out on the

lounge chairs for a while eating lots

of crispy French fries and talking

about the usual random rubbish

Isabella and I always talk about

I dont remember what

happened after that but I do

remember how happy I was how I

just wanted to surf the waves

forever and lie in the sand until the

end of time But moments have to

pass Thatrsquos why we should enjoy

them All the little moments in life

should be enjoyed I do want to go

back to that little beach by the

jungle but Irsquom afraid that lombok

might start turning into a concrete

jungle full with grey skies and

murky waters But whatever

happens I know Irsquoll always have the

memory in my head

Book Suggestion

As a psychologist I would like to warmly

recommend Hans Christians Andersenrsquos

fairy tales stories fit for all ages HC

Andersens tales were read for me when I

was a child and I have often revisited

them in my work after I have spoken to

clients because they offer words and ideas

to psychological issues

Take for example the Little Mermaid A

tale is about a heroine with investigative

curiosity fascinated by the unknown and

intent on broadening her horizons She

has an intense longing to visit the world

above the sea by arranging the flowers in

her garden into the shape of the sun

listening to her grandmother and sisters

stories of the surface The world above

seems larger than her own and she wants

to know as much as she can about it

HC Andersen talks about things that

are on everyonersquos minds and yet he

makes it exciting and fantastic They are

short stories easy to read

Once upon a time there lived a girl

named Emily She lived with her parents

little poor but not that much One day

while Emily was playing with her doll

suddenly the wall began to open She

could not believe her eyes She got a

little scared but didnt start to yell She

wanted to keep this a secret She always

dreamed of having a new adventure so

she went inside She could not believe

her eyes when she saw fairies flying

around Some of the fairies were

working and the little ones were

playing And at that moment she saw

the most beautiful fairy that looked like

a 12-year-old girl just like Emily was

Emily forgot about everything she had

seen and just wanted to be her friend

but she couldnrsquot just go and say hello

because she was a fairy and Emily was a

human She thought that the fairy might

get scared but she always wanted a best

friend so she went to say hello to her

The fairy got a little scared but she

couldnrsquot believe her eyes that a real

human talked to her The fairy said hello

back to Emily the fairy asked Emily

how did she find the fairy world Emily

told the whole story about how did she

find the fairy world When she was

finished the whole story she asked the

fairy what was her name The fairy said

her name was Emma and asked whatrsquos

yours Emily told her name

Emily and Emma talked and talked

When Emily remembered that it had

been an hour since she was in the fairy

land Emily thought her parents might

be worried about her so Emily told

Emma that she needed to go home and

she would meet her the other day And

that is how the days went Emily would

always go to the fairy world and meet

Emma And soon the whole fairy world

new about Emily and they were not

scared of her They treated her like a

fairy But one day it all turned out the

other way While Emilyrsquos was mom

cooking in the kitchen the oven caught

fire Since the whole house was made

out of wood so the house burned down

very quickly The family didnt have

anywhere to live in Emily had to tell

her secret about the secret door to save

herself and her parents she showed

them the way to the fairy world she

throw a piece of wood to the wall and

the wall began to open her parents

could not believe it Emily ran to

Emma and told her what

happened Emma got upset about the

burned house very much Emily asked

Emma if she and her parents could live

there then she showed Emma her

parents coming towards Emma saw how

devastated they were and felt really

sorry for them She immediately went to

ask the fairy queen whether Emily and

her parents could stay there after long

hours of discussions and talk they

decided to let Emily and her parents

places I have lived I have lived in 4

different places I was born in

Kenya I stayed in Kenya for a

while From Kenya I moved to

Holland I moved to a city

called Rotterdam in

Holland I liked Holland

because the schools were

close to our home But

what I didnrsquot like was that

not so many people were

nice For example they

didnrsquot help when we

asked for help to find

places I had nice friends

to play with in Rotterdam

My Life Story Jeremiah Nyancho

OslashISIE -acuteOslashsterbro International School In English 49

When I was 6 years old I

moved to Copenhagen in Denmark

At the start we stayed in a hotel At

the very beginning I felt like I

wanted to go back to Kenya I

didnrsquot want to move The hard part

was packing When I had to say

goodbye it was ok but when my

sister had to say goodbye she

cried At the start in Copenhagen it

was hard taking trains to school

because I was learning how to take

a train Now I am 12 years old soon

13 in 4 months and I like it in

Copenhagen The people are

helpful I like the friends here they

are nice I think it is a nice thing to

move around When I am older and

I have a job I want to travel all

around the world I especially

would like to live in Rio

My two main interests are

sports and electronics My favorite

sports are basketball football and

swimming When I was 6 I liked

football then when I was 11 years

old I liked swimming and now that

I am 12 I started to like basketball

Sports make me who I am I used to

go to a swimming club and it was

hard from the beginning

Swimming is hard because it is

hard to cope with others who are

good and fast I used to play on a

football team and it was hard to

cope with the good footballers It

was boring without activities I

hope I join a new football club I

play basketball during breaks and

PE time and I want to keep playing

these sports in the future My

favorite electronics are IPad WII

and Nintendo DS I like these

because they are fun I use my IPad

for email and games Electronics

are part of my daily life

In conclusion my life is

being active and having fun My

family is important to my life I like

that my family are around the

world I have enjoyed moving to

different places The hard thing is

to say goodbye to friends I feel I

have a lot of interests I hope you

enjoyed my life story

Memoirs whispered and then I thought lsquoThatrsquos

a pretty namersquo but I had to see her to

see if she looked like the beautiful

name The door swooshed open as I

pushed it with all my might I tip-toed

over to the bed where my mom and

sister lay

There she was with her small eyes

and lips reflecting what was in front

of her like a crystal clean mirror I

peeked over at my mom who was

almost asleep because of her

exhaustion Then I stepped back to let

my sister and grandmother look at my

admirable new born sister My proud

dad walked over to them and talked

about how the birth went and the long

wait for it to happen At the corner of

my eye I spotted a huge window I

could see the parking lot and the

beautiful lake some 700 meters away

rdquoItrsquos a beautiful view from up hererdquo I

told my dad In that split second my

big sister crept over to me to admire

it as well The sun was bearing down

on us and it was becoming very hot

because of the midsummer warmth

There were only a few clouds and they

were as thick as cotton candy I could

honestly have eaten them I took a

seat in a small couch right in front of

us and then my dad asked if we

wanted to hold our little sister rdquoYesrdquo

We both exclaimed very excitingly

rdquoOkay but be very carefulrdquo He

scooped her up like an ice cream

spoon peeling up the ice cream and

then handed her over to us She had a

minute pink blanket over her to

protect her from the cold air around

her I started rocking her back and

forth as she was becoming

uncomfortable I looked at her

miniature fingers slowly coming to a

rest as she calmed down Without

notice I handed her over to my excited

sister

After a minute or so there was a

knock on the door Who could it be

Friends and family My dad crept

towards the door very quiet and

opened the creaking door In a split

second I knew who it was It was my

whole family Uncles aunts

grandfather and cousins I flew up

from my chair to say hello The next

thing I know is someone calling my

name Itrsquos my dadrsquos sister that has a

something in her hands a gift It must

be to me I thought as I hurried over to

her It was I ripped off the paper like

a mad man and then I saw a toy

airplane It was an old fighter aircraft

It looked like a Spitfire and it was so

breathtaking I gave her a big hug and

began playing with it From that day

on I have loved having a little sister

and I will definitely for the rest of my

Memoirs

In Bali there is a day in which it

is believed that devils come to the

island and look for life so everyone

has to be really quiet and use no

electricity so the devils think no

one lives on the island and they

will go away Itrsquos called Nyepi This

day is usually the most boring day

of the year but last Nyepi my

friend Isabella invited me to come

with her and her family to Lombok

where they dont celebrate Nyepi I

was really excited I packed a week

early and bought lots of snacks for

the trip It was a really short flight

from Bali to Lombok and we got

yucky chocolate pastry thingies I

dont really know what they were

and we got told off twice for being

too loud by this old lady sitting

next to us When we landed half

an hour later we went straight to

the hotel and had breakfast

On the first day we just

chilled at the hotel but the next

day we set off to a beach really far

A day at

the beach Ines Liokouras

OslashISIE -acuteOslashsterbro International School In English 23

Memoirs away While driving on the most

unbearable road I had ever driven

on we saw many peculiar things

People walking their cows and kids

running around barefoot banging

plastic bottles together to make

music It was a very uncomfortable

ride The air conditioner was

broken and it was extremely hot

outside The driver was playing

annoying K-pop music for the

whole three hour drive

The area where the beach was

located was a jungle and it didnt

look at all like a place where a

beach would be We rented four

worn out surfboards and seven

shabby looking boogie boards The

ocean seemed especially beautiful

that day and the water was the

most magnificent shade of blue It

really was like paradise with all the

palm trees and the smooth warm

sand We surfed all day not like

Mark Richards or anything In fact

we were really quite terrible at it

but it was one of those moments

where nothing in the world seemed

to matter

After swimming in the sea we

felt a bit yucky because of the salt

in the water So we wanted to take

a rinse but for some reason it was

all the way up by the road So we

ran barefoot across the dirt road

until we got to what looked like a

large tap We rinsed off but

because of the size it took forever

and in the time it took three huge

tourist busses passed by I realized

that this place was probably going

to become really touristy one day

and itrsquos a good thing I came before

the small island becomes too

cramped

We ate lunch in this really

cute hut It was a really nice place

it had coral mobiles everywhere

and smelt of the sea The food was

really good and we hung out on the

lounge chairs for a while eating lots

of crispy French fries and talking

about the usual random rubbish

Isabella and I always talk about

I dont remember what

happened after that but I do

remember how happy I was how I

just wanted to surf the waves

forever and lie in the sand until the

end of time But moments have to

pass Thatrsquos why we should enjoy

them All the little moments in life

should be enjoyed I do want to go

back to that little beach by the

jungle but Irsquom afraid that lombok

might start turning into a concrete

jungle full with grey skies and

murky waters But whatever

happens I know Irsquoll always have the

memory in my head

Book Suggestion

As a psychologist I would like to warmly

recommend Hans Christians Andersenrsquos

fairy tales stories fit for all ages HC

Andersens tales were read for me when I

was a child and I have often revisited

them in my work after I have spoken to

clients because they offer words and ideas

to psychological issues

Take for example the Little Mermaid A

tale is about a heroine with investigative

curiosity fascinated by the unknown and

intent on broadening her horizons She

has an intense longing to visit the world

above the sea by arranging the flowers in

her garden into the shape of the sun

listening to her grandmother and sisters

stories of the surface The world above

seems larger than her own and she wants

to know as much as she can about it

HC Andersen talks about things that

are on everyonersquos minds and yet he

makes it exciting and fantastic They are

short stories easy to read

My very own story

OslashISIE -acuteOslashsterbro International School In English 47

Once upon a time there lived a girl

named Emily She lived with her parents

dreamed of having a new adventure so

she went inside She could not believe

her eyes when she saw fairies flying

around Some of the fairies were

working and the little ones were

playing And at that moment she saw

the most beautiful fairy that looked like

a 12-year-old girl just like Emily was

Emily forgot about everything she had

seen and just wanted to be her friend

but she couldnrsquot just go and say hello

because she was a fairy and Emily was a

human She thought that the fairy might

friend so she went to say hello to her

The fairy got a little scared but she

couldnrsquot believe her eyes that a real

human talked to her The fairy said hello

back to Emily the fairy asked Emily

fairy what was her name The fairy said

her name was Emma and asked whatrsquos

yours Emily told her name

Emily and Emma talked and talked

When Emily remembered that it had

been an hour since she was in the fairy

land Emily thought her parents might

be worried about her so Emily told

that is how the days went Emily would

always go to the fairy world and meet

different places I was born in

Kenya I stayed in Kenya for a

while From Kenya I moved to

Holland I moved to a city

called Rotterdam in

Holland I liked Holland

asked for help to find

places I had nice friends

to play with in Rotterdam

My Life Story Jeremiah Nyancho

OslashISIE -acuteOslashsterbro International School In English 49

When I was 6 years old I

moved to Copenhagen in Denmark

At the start we stayed in a hotel At

the very beginning I felt like I

wanted to go back to Kenya I

didnrsquot want to move The hard part

was packing When I had to say

goodbye it was ok but when my

sister had to say goodbye she

cried At the start in Copenhagen it

was hard taking trains to school

because I was learning how to take

a train Now I am 12 years old soon

13 in 4 months and I like it in

Copenhagen The people are

helpful I like the friends here they

are nice I think it is a nice thing to

move around When I am older and

I have a job I want to travel all

around the world I especially

would like to live in Rio

My two main interests are

sports and electronics My favorite

sports are basketball football and

swimming When I was 6 I liked

football then when I was 11 years

old I liked swimming and now that

I am 12 I started to like basketball

Sports make me who I am I used to

go to a swimming club and it was

hard from the beginning

Swimming is hard because it is

hard to cope with others who are

good and fast I used to play on a

football team and it was hard to

cope with the good footballers It

was boring without activities I

hope I join a new football club I

play basketball during breaks and

PE time and I want to keep playing

these sports in the future My

favorite electronics are IPad WII

and Nintendo DS I like these

because they are fun I use my IPad

for email and games Electronics

are part of my daily life

In conclusion my life is

being active and having fun My

family is important to my life I like

that my family are around the

world I have enjoyed moving to

different places The hard thing is

to say goodbye to friends I feel I

have a lot of interests I hope you

enjoyed my life story

Memoirs

In Bali there is a day in which it

is believed that devils come to the

island and look for life so everyone

has to be really quiet and use no

electricity so the devils think no

one lives on the island and they

will go away Itrsquos called Nyepi This

day is usually the most boring day

of the year but last Nyepi my

friend Isabella invited me to come

with her and her family to Lombok

where they dont celebrate Nyepi I

was really excited I packed a week

early and bought lots of snacks for

the trip It was a really short flight

from Bali to Lombok and we got

yucky chocolate pastry thingies I

dont really know what they were

and we got told off twice for being

too loud by this old lady sitting

next to us When we landed half

an hour later we went straight to

the hotel and had breakfast

On the first day we just

chilled at the hotel but the next

day we set off to a beach really far

A day at

the beach Ines Liokouras

OslashISIE -acuteOslashsterbro International School In English 23

Memoirs away While driving on the most

unbearable road I had ever driven

on we saw many peculiar things

People walking their cows and kids

running around barefoot banging

plastic bottles together to make

music It was a very uncomfortable

ride The air conditioner was

broken and it was extremely hot

outside The driver was playing

annoying K-pop music for the

whole three hour drive

The area where the beach was

located was a jungle and it didnt

look at all like a place where a

beach would be We rented four

worn out surfboards and seven

shabby looking boogie boards The

ocean seemed especially beautiful

that day and the water was the

most magnificent shade of blue It

really was like paradise with all the

palm trees and the smooth warm

sand We surfed all day not like

Mark Richards or anything In fact

we were really quite terrible at it

but it was one of those moments

where nothing in the world seemed

to matter

After swimming in the sea we

felt a bit yucky because of the salt

in the water So we wanted to take

a rinse but for some reason it was

all the way up by the road So we

ran barefoot across the dirt road

until we got to what looked like a

large tap We rinsed off but

because of the size it took forever

and in the time it took three huge

tourist busses passed by I realized

that this place was probably going

to become really touristy one day

and itrsquos a good thing I came before

the small island becomes too

cramped

We ate lunch in this really

cute hut It was a really nice place

it had coral mobiles everywhere

and smelt of the sea The food was

really good and we hung out on the

lounge chairs for a while eating lots

of crispy French fries and talking

about the usual random rubbish

Isabella and I always talk about

I dont remember what

happened after that but I do

remember how happy I was how I

just wanted to surf the waves

forever and lie in the sand until the

end of time But moments have to

pass Thatrsquos why we should enjoy

them All the little moments in life

should be enjoyed I do want to go

back to that little beach by the

jungle but Irsquom afraid that lombok

might start turning into a concrete

jungle full with grey skies and

murky waters But whatever

happens I know Irsquoll always have the

memory in my head

When I was 6 years old I

moved to Copenhagen in Denmark

At the start we stayed in a hotel At

the very beginning I felt like I

wanted to go back to Kenya I

didnrsquot want to move The hard part

was packing When I had to say

goodbye it was ok but when my

sister had to say goodbye she

cried At the start in Copenhagen it

was hard taking trains to school

Copenhagen The people are

helpful I like the friends here they

are nice I think it is a nice thing to

move around When I am older and

around the world I especially

would like to live in Rio

My two main interests are

sports and electronics My favorite

sports are basketball football and

swimming When I was 6 I liked

football then when I was 11 years

old I liked swimming and now that

I am 12 I started to like basketball

Sports make me who I am I used to

go to a swimming club and it was

hard from the beginning

Swimming is hard because it is

hard to cope with others who are

good and fast I used to play on a

football team and it was hard to

cope with the good footballers It

was boring without activities I

hope I join a new football club I

play basketball during breaks and

PE time and I want to keep playing

these sports in the future My

favorite electronics are IPad WII

Memoirs away While driving on the most

unbearable road I had ever driven

on we saw many peculiar things

People walking their cows and kids

running around barefoot banging

plastic bottles together to make

music It was a very uncomfortable

ride The air conditioner was

broken and it was extremely hot

outside The driver was playing

annoying K-pop music for the

whole three hour drive

The area where the beach was

located was a jungle and it didnt

look at all like a place where a

beach would be We rented four

worn out surfboards and seven

shabby looking boogie boards The

ocean seemed especially beautiful

that day and the water was the

most magnificent shade of blue It

really was like paradise with all the

palm trees and the smooth warm

sand We surfed all day not like

Mark Richards or anything In fact

we were really quite terrible at it

but it was one of those moments

where nothing in the world seemed

to matter

After swimming in the sea we

felt a bit yucky because of the salt

in the water So we wanted to take

a rinse but for some reason it was

all the way up by the road So we

ran barefoot across the dirt road

until we got to what looked like a

large tap We rinsed off but

because of the size it took forever

and in the time it took three huge

tourist busses passed by I realized

that this place was probably going

to become really touristy one day

and itrsquos a good thing I came before

the small island becomes too

cramped

We ate lunch in this really

cute hut It was a really nice place

it had coral mobiles everywhere

and smelt of the sea The food was

really good and we hung out on the

lounge chairs for a while eating lots

of crispy French fries and talking

about the usual random rubbish

Isabella and I always talk about

I dont remember what

happened after that but I do

remember how happy I was how I

just wanted to surf the waves

forever and lie in the sand until the

end of time But moments have to

pass Thatrsquos why we should enjoy

them All the little moments in life

should be enjoyed I do want to go

back to that little beach by the

jungle but Irsquom afraid that lombok

might start turning into a concrete

jungle full with grey skies and

murky waters But whatever

happens I know Irsquoll always have the

memory in my head

Book Suggestion

As a psychologist I would like to warmly

recommend Hans Christians Andersenrsquos

fairy tales stories fit for all ages HC

Andersens tales were read for me when I

was a child and I have often revisited

them in my work after I have spoken to

clients because they offer words and ideas

to psychological issues

Take for example the Little Mermaid A

tale is about a heroine with investigative

curiosity fascinated by the unknown and

intent on broadening her horizons She

has an intense longing to visit the world

above the sea by arranging the flowers in

her garden into the shape of the sun

listening to her grandmother and sisters

stories of the surface The world above

seems larger than her own and she wants

to know as much as she can about it

HC Andersen talks about things that

are on everyonersquos minds and yet he

makes it exciting and fantastic They are

short stories easy to read

the most beautiful fairy that looked like

a 12-year-old girl just like Emily was

Emily forgot about everything she had

seen and just wanted to be her friend

friend so she went to say hello to her

The fairy got a little scared but she

couldnrsquot believe her eyes that a real

human talked to her The fairy said hello

back to Emily the fairy asked Emily

find the fairy world When she was

finished the whole story she asked the

fairy what was her name The fairy said

her name was Emma and asked whatrsquos

yours Emily told her name

Emily and Emma talked and talked

When Emily remembered that it had

been an hour since she was in the fairy

land Emily thought her parents might

be worried about her so Emily told

Emma that she needed to go home and

she would meet her the other day And

that is how the days went Emily would

always go to the fairy world and meet

Emma And soon the whole fairy world

new about Emily and they were not

scared of her They treated her like a

fairy But one day it all turned out the

other way While Emilyrsquos was mom

cooking in the kitchen the oven caught

fire Since the whole house was made

out of wood so the house burned down

very quickly The family didnt have

anywhere to live in Emily had to tell

her secret about the secret door to save

herself and her parents she showed

them the way to the fairy world she

throw a piece of wood to the wall and

the wall began to open her parents

could not believe it Emily ran to

Emma and told her what

happened Emma got upset about the

burned house very much Emily asked

Emma if she and her parents could live

there then she showed Emma her

parents coming towards Emma saw how

devastated they were and felt really

sorry for them She immediately went to

ask the fairy queen whether Emily and

her parents could stay there after long

hours of discussions and talk they

decided to let Emily and her parents

Book Suggestion

As a psychologist I would like to warmly

recommend Hans Christians Andersenrsquos

fairy tales stories fit for all ages HC

Andersens tales were read for me when I

was a child and I have often revisited

them in my work after I have spoken to

clients because they offer words and ideas

to psychological issues

Take for example the Little Mermaid A

tale is about a heroine with investigative

curiosity fascinated by the unknown and

intent on broadening her horizons She

has an intense longing to visit the world

above the sea by arranging the flowers in

her garden into the shape of the sun

listening to her grandmother and sisters

stories of the surface The world above

seems larger than her own and she wants

to know as much as she can about it

HC Andersen talks about things that

are on everyonersquos minds and yet he

makes it exciting and fantastic They are

short stories easy to read

the most beautiful fairy that looked like

a 12-year-old girl just like Emily was

Emily forgot about everything she had

seen and just wanted to be her friend

The fairy got a little scared but she

couldnrsquot believe her eyes that a real

human talked to her The fairy said hello

different places I was born in

Kenya I stayed in Kenya for a

while From Kenya I moved to

Holland I moved to a city

called Rotterdam in

Holland I liked Holland

because the schools were

close to our home But

what I didnrsquot like was that

not so many people were

nice For example they

didnrsquot help when we

asked for help to find

places I had nice friends

to play with in Rotterdam

My Life Story Jeremiah Nyancho

OslashISIE -acuteOslashsterbro International School In English 49

When I was 6 years old I

moved to Copenhagen in Denmark

At the start we stayed in a hotel At

the very beginning I felt like I

wanted to go back to Kenya I

didnrsquot want to move The hard part

was packing When I had to say

goodbye it was ok but when my

sister had to say goodbye she

cried At the start in Copenhagen it

was hard taking trains to school

because I was learning how to take

a train Now I am 12 years old soon

13 in 4 months and I like it in

Copenhagen The people are

helpful I like the friends here they

are nice I think it is a nice thing to

move around When I am older and

I have a job I want to travel all

around the world I especially

would like to live in Rio

My two main interests are

sports and electronics My favorite

sports are basketball football and

swimming When I was 6 I liked

football then when I was 11 years

old I liked swimming and now that

I am 12 I started to like basketball

Sports make me who I am I used to

go to a swimming club and it was

hard from the beginning

Swimming is hard because it is

hard to cope with others who are

good and fast I used to play on a

football team and it was hard to

cope with the good footballers It

was boring without activities I

hope I join a new football club I

play basketball during breaks and

PE time and I want to keep playing

these sports in the future My

favorite electronics are IPad WII

and Nintendo DS I like these

because they are fun I use my IPad

for email and games Electronics

are part of my daily life

In conclusion my life is

being active and having fun My

family is important to my life I like

that my family are around the

world I have enjoyed moving to

different places The hard thing is

to say goodbye to friends I feel I

have a lot of interests I hope you

enjoyed my life story

My Life Story Jeremiah Nyancho

OslashISIE -acuteOslashsterbro International School In English 49

When I was 6 years old I

moved to Copenhagen in Denmark

At the start we stayed in a hotel At

the very beginning I felt like I

wanted to go back to Kenya I

didnrsquot want to move The hard part

was packing When I had to say

goodbye it was ok but when my

sister had to say goodbye she

cried At the start in Copenhagen it

was hard taking trains to school

because I was learning how to take

a train Now I am 12 years old soon

13 in 4 months and I like it in

Copenhagen The people are

helpful I like the friends here they

are nice I think it is a nice thing to

move around When I am older and

I have a job I want to travel all

around the world I especially

would like to live in Rio

My two main interests are

sports and electronics My favorite

sports are basketball football and

swimming When I was 6 I liked

football then when I was 11 years

old I liked swimming and now that

I am 12 I started to like basketball

Sports make me who I am I used to

go to a swimming club and it was

hard from the beginning

Swimming is hard because it is

hard to cope with others who are

good and fast I used to play on a

football team and it was hard to

cope with the good footballers It

was boring without activities I

hope I join a new football club I

play basketball during breaks and

PE time and I want to keep playing

these sports in the future My

favorite electronics are IPad WII

and Nintendo DS I like these

because they are fun I use my IPad

for email and games Electronics

are part of my daily life

In conclusion my life is

being active and having fun My

family is important to my life I like

that my family are around the

world I have enjoyed moving to

different places The hard thing is

to say goodbye to friends I feel I

have a lot of interests I hope you

enjoyed my life story

Book Suggestion

As a psychologist I would like to warmly

recommend Hans Christians Andersenrsquos

fairy tales stories fit for all ages HC

Andersens tales were read for me when I

was a child and I have often revisited

them in my work after I have spoken to

clients because they offer words and ideas

to psychological issues

Take for example the Little Mermaid A

tale is about a heroine with investigative

curiosity fascinated by the unknown and

intent on broadening her horizons She

has an intense longing to visit the world

above the sea by arranging the flowers in

her garden into the shape of the sun

listening to her grandmother and sisters

stories of the surface The world above

seems larger than her own and she wants

to know as much as she can about it

HC Andersen talks about things that

are on everyonersquos minds and yet he

makes it exciting and fantastic They are

short stories easy to read

the most beautiful fairy that looked like

a 12-year-old girl just like Emily was

Emily forgot about everything she had

seen and just wanted to be her friend

friend so she went to say hello to her

The fairy got a little scared but she

couldnrsquot believe her eyes that a real

human talked to her The fairy said hello

back to Emily the fairy asked Emily

find the fairy world When she was

finished the whole story she asked the

fairy what was her name The fairy said

her name was Emma and asked whatrsquos

yours Emily told her name

Emily and Emma talked and talked

When Emily remembered that it had

been an hour since she was in the fairy

land Emily thought her parents might

be worried about her so Emily told

Emma that she needed to go home and

she would meet her the other day And

that is how the days went Emily would

always go to the fairy world and meet

Emma And soon the whole fairy world

new about Emily and they were not

scared of her They treated her like a

fairy But one day it all turned out the

other way While Emilyrsquos was mom

cooking in the kitchen the oven caught

fire Since the whole house was made

out of wood so the house burned down

very quickly The family didnt have

anywhere to live in Emily had to tell

her secret about the secret door to save

herself and her parents she showed

them the way to the fairy world she

throw a piece of wood to the wall and

the wall began to open her parents

could not believe it Emily ran to

Emma and told her what

happened Emma got upset about the

burned house very much Emily asked

Emma if she and her parents could live

there then she showed Emma her

parents coming towards Emma saw how

devastated they were and felt really

sorry for them She immediately went to

ask the fairy queen whether Emily and

her parents could stay there after long

hours of discussions and talk they

decided to let Emily and her parents

Book Suggestion

As a psychologist I would like to warmly

recommend Hans Christians Andersenrsquos

fairy tales stories fit for all ages HC

Andersens tales were read for me when I

was a child and I have often revisited

them in my work after I have spoken to

clients because they offer words and ideas

to psychological issues

Take for example the Little Mermaid A

tale is about a heroine with investigative

curiosity fascinated by the unknown and

intent on broadening her horizons She

has an intense longing to visit the world

above the sea by arranging the flowers in

her garden into the shape of the sun

listening to her grandmother and sisters

stories of the surface The world above

seems larger than her own and she wants

to know as much as she can about it

HC Andersen talks about things that

are on everyonersquos minds and yet he

makes it exciting and fantastic They are

short stories easy to read

My very own story

OslashISIE -acuteOslashsterbro International School In English 47

Once upon a time there lived a girl

named Emily She lived with her parents

in a small little house Her family was a

little poor but not that much One day

while Emily was playing with her doll

she accidently threw it in the wall and

suddenly the wall began to open She

could not believe her eyes She got a

little scared but didnt start to yell She

wanted to keep this a secret She always

dreamed of having a new adventure so

she went inside She could not believe

her eyes when she saw fairies flying

around Some of the fairies were

working and the little ones were

playing And at that moment she saw

the most beautiful fairy that looked like

a 12-year-old girl just like Emily was

Emily forgot about everything she had

seen and just wanted to be her friend

but she couldnrsquot just go and say hello

because she was a fairy and Emily was a

human She thought that the fairy might

get scared but she always wanted a best

friend so she went to say hello to her

The fairy got a little scared but she

couldnrsquot believe her eyes that a real

human talked to her The fairy said hello

back to Emily the fairy asked Emily

how did she find the fairy world Emily

told the whole story about how did she

find the fairy world When she was

finished the whole story she asked the

fairy what was her name The fairy said

her name was Emma and asked whatrsquos

yours Emily told her name

Emily and Emma talked and talked

When Emily remembered that it had

been an hour since she was in the fairy

land Emily thought her parents might

be worried about her so Emily told

Emma that she needed to go home and

she would meet her the other day And

that is how the days went Emily would

always go to the fairy world and meet

Emma And soon the whole fairy world

new about Emily and they were not

scared of her They treated her like a

fairy But one day it all turned out the

other way While Emilyrsquos was mom

cooking in the kitchen the oven caught

fire Since the whole house was made

out of wood so the house burned down

very quickly The family didnt have

anywhere to live in Emily had to tell

her secret about the secret door to save

herself and her parents she showed

them the way to the fairy world she

throw a piece of wood to the wall and

the wall began to open her parents

could not believe it Emily ran to

Emma and told her what

happened Emma got upset about the

burned house very much Emily asked

Emma if she and her parents could live

there then she showed Emma her

parents coming towards Emma saw how

devastated they were and felt really

sorry for them She immediately went to

ask the fairy queen whether Emily and

her parents could stay there after long

hours of discussions and talk they

decided to let Emily and her parents

stay And they lived happily ever after

places I had nice friends

to play with in Rotterdam

My Life Story Jeremiah Nyancho

OslashISIE -acuteOslashsterbro International School In English 49

When I was 6 years old I

moved to Copenhagen in Denmark

At the start we stayed in a hotel At

the very beginning I felt like I

wanted to go back to Kenya I

didnrsquot want to move The hard part

was packing When I had to say

goodbye it was ok but when my

sister had to say goodbye she

cried At the start in Copenhagen it

was hard taking trains to school

because I was learning how to take

a train Now I am 12 years old soon

13 in 4 months and I like it in

Copenhagen The people are

helpful I like the friends here they

are nice I think it is a nice thing to

move around When I am older and

I have a job I want to travel all

around the world I especially

would like to live in Rio

My two main interests are

sports and electronics My favorite

sports are basketball football and

swimming When I was 6 I liked

football then when I was 11 years

old I liked swimming and now that

I am 12 I started to like basketball

Sports make me who I am I used to

go to a swimming club and it was

hard from the beginning

Swimming is hard because it is

hard to cope with others who are

good and fast I used to play on a

football team and it was hard to

cope with the good footballers It

was boring without activities I

hope I join a new football club I

play basketball during breaks and

PE time and I want to keep playing

these sports in the future My

favorite electronics are IPad WII

and Nintendo DS I like these

because they are fun I use my IPad

for email and games Electronics

are part of my daily life

In conclusion my life is

being active and having fun My

family is important to my life I like

that my family are around the

world I have enjoyed moving to

different places The hard thing is

to say goodbye to friends I feel I

have a lot of interests I hope you

enjoyed my life story

Book Suggestion

As a psychologist I would like to warmly

recommend Hans Christians Andersenrsquos

fairy tales stories fit for all ages HC

Andersens tales were read for me when I

was a child and I have often revisited

them in my work after I have spoken to

clients because they offer words and ideas

to psychological issues

Take for example the Little Mermaid A

tale is about a heroine with investigative

curiosity fascinated by the unknown and

intent on broadening her horizons She

has an intense longing to visit the world

above the sea by arranging the flowers in

her garden into the shape of the sun

listening to her grandmother and sisters

stories of the surface The world above

seems larger than her own and she wants

to know as much as she can about it

HC Andersen talks about things that

are on everyonersquos minds and yet he

makes it exciting and fantastic They are

short stories easy to read

My Life Story Jeremiah Nyancho

OslashISIE -acuteOslashsterbro International School In English 49

When I was 6 years old I

moved to Copenhagen in Denmark

At the start we stayed in a hotel At

the very beginning I felt like I

wanted to go back to Kenya I

didnrsquot want to move The hard part

was packing When I had to say

goodbye it was ok but when my

sister had to say goodbye she

cried At the start in Copenhagen it

was hard taking trains to school

because I was learning how to take

a train Now I am 12 years old soon

13 in 4 months and I like it in

Copenhagen The people are

helpful I like the friends here they

are nice I think it is a nice thing to

move around When I am older and

around the world I especially

would like to live in Rio

My two main interests are

sports and electronics My favorite

sports are basketball football and

swimming When I was 6 I liked

football then when I was 11 years

old I liked swimming and now that

I am 12 I started to like basketball

Sports make me who I am I used to

go to a swimming club and it was

hard from the beginning

Swimming is hard because it is

hard to cope with others who are

good and fast I used to play on a

football team and it was hard to

cope with the good footballers It

was boring without activities I

hope I join a new football club I

play basketball during breaks and

PE time and I want to keep playing

these sports in the future My

favorite electronics are IPad WII

and Nintendo DS I like these

because they are fun I use my IPad

for email and games Electronics

are part of my daily life

In conclusion my life is

being active and having fun My

family is important to my life I like

that my family are around the

world I have enjoyed moving to

different places The hard thing is

to say goodbye to friends I feel I

have a lot of interests I hope you

Book Suggestion

As a psychologist I would like to warmly

recommend Hans Christians Andersenrsquos

fairy tales stories fit for all ages HC

Andersens tales were read for me when I

was a child and I have often revisited

them in my work after I have spoken to

clients because they offer words and ideas

to psychological issues

Take for example the Little Mermaid A

tale is about a heroine with investigative

curiosity fascinated by the unknown and

intent on broadening her horizons She

has an intense longing to visit the world

above the sea by arranging the flowers in

her garden into the shape of the sun

listening to her grandmother and sisters

stories of the surface The world above

seems larger than her own and she wants

to know as much as she can about it

HC Andersen talks about things that

are on everyonersquos minds and yet he

makes it exciting and fantastic They are

short stories easy to read

Once upon a time there lived a girl

wanted to keep this a secret She always

dreamed of having a new adventure so

she went inside She could not believe

her eyes when she saw fairies flying

around Some of the fairies were

working and the little ones were

playing And at that moment she saw

the most beautiful fairy that looked like

a 12-year-old girl just like Emily was

Emily forgot about everything she had

seen and just wanted to be her friend

but she couldnrsquot just go and say hello

because she was a fairy and Emily was a

human She thought that the fairy might

get scared but she always wanted a best

friend so she went to say hello to her

The fairy got a little scared but she

couldnrsquot believe her eyes that a real

human talked to her The fairy said hello

back to Emily the fairy asked Emily

how did she find the fairy world Emily

told the whole story about how did she

find the fairy world When she was

finished the whole story she asked the

fairy what was her name The fairy said

her name was Emma and asked whatrsquos

yours Emily told her name

Emily and Emma talked and talked

When Emily remembered that it had

been an hour since she was in the fairy

land Emily thought her parents might

be worried about her so Emily told

Emma that she needed to go home and

she would meet her the other day And

that is how the days went Emily would

always go to the fairy world and meet

Emma And soon the whole fairy world

new about Emily and they were not

scared of her They treated her like a

fairy But one day it all turned out the

other way While Emilyrsquos was mom

cooking in the kitchen the oven caught

fire Since the whole house was made

out of wood so the house burned down

very quickly The family didnt have

anywhere to live in Emily had to tell

her secret about the secret door to save

herself and her parents she showed

them the way to the fairy world she

throw a piece of wood to the wall and

the wall began to open her parents

Emma and told her what

happened Emma got upset about the

burned house very much Emily asked

Emma if she and her parents could live

there then she showed Emma her

parents coming towards Emma saw how

devastated they were and felt really

sorry for them She immediately went to

ask the fairy queen whether Emily and

her parents could stay there after long

hours of discussions and talk they

decided to let Emily and her parents

different places I was born in

Kenya I stayed in Kenya for a

while From Kenya I moved to

Holland I moved to a city

called Rotterdam in

Holland I liked Holland

because the schools were

close to our home But

asked for help to find

places I had nice friends

to play with in Rotterdam

My Life Story Jeremiah Nyancho

OslashISIE -acuteOslashsterbro International School In English 49

When I was 6 years old I

moved to Copenhagen in Denmark

At the start we stayed in a hotel At

the very beginning I felt like I

wanted to go back to Kenya I

didnrsquot want to move The hard part

was packing When I had to say

goodbye it was ok but when my

sister had to say goodbye she

cried At the start in Copenhagen it

was hard taking trains to school

because I was learning how to take

a train Now I am 12 years old soon

13 in 4 months and I like it in

Copenhagen The people are

helpful I like the friends here they

are nice I think it is a nice thing to

move around When I am older and

I have a job I want to travel all

around the world I especially

would like to live in Rio

My two main interests are

sports and electronics My favorite

sports are basketball football and

swimming When I was 6 I liked

football then when I was 11 years

old I liked swimming and now that

I am 12 I started to like basketball

Sports make me who I am I used to

go to a swimming club and it was

hard from the beginning

Swimming is hard because it is

hard to cope with others who are

good and fast I used to play on a

football team and it was hard to

cope with the good footballers It

was boring without activities I

hope I join a new football club I

play basketball during breaks and

PE time and I want to keep playing

these sports in the future My

favorite electronics are IPad WII

and Nintendo DS I like these

because they are fun I use my IPad

for email and games Electronics

are part of my daily life

In conclusion my life is

being active and having fun My

family is important to my life I like

that my family are around the

world I have enjoyed moving to

different places The hard thing is

to say goodbye to friends I feel I

have a lot of interests I hope you

enjoyed my life story

to play with in Rotterdam

My Life Story Jeremiah Nyancho

OslashISIE -acuteOslashsterbro International School In English 49

When I was 6 years old I

moved to Copenhagen in Denmark

At the start we stayed in a hotel At

the very beginning I felt like I

wanted to go back to Kenya I

didnrsquot want to move The hard part

was packing When I had to say

goodbye it was ok but when my

sister had to say goodbye she

cried At the start in Copenhagen it

was hard taking trains to school

because I was learning how to take

a train Now I am 12 years old soon

13 in 4 months and I like it in

Copenhagen The people are

helpful I like the friends here they

are nice I think it is a nice thing to

move around When I am older and

I have a job I want to travel all

around the world I especially

would like to live in Rio

My two main interests are

sports and electronics My favorite

sports are basketball football and

swimming When I was 6 I liked

football then when I was 11 years

old I liked swimming and now that

I am 12 I started to like basketball

Sports make me who I am I used to

go to a swimming club and it was

hard from the beginning

Swimming is hard because it is

hard to cope with others who are

good and fast I used to play on a

football team and it was hard to

cope with the good footballers It

was boring without activities I

hope I join a new football club I

play basketball during breaks and

PE time and I want to keep playing

these sports in the future My

favorite electronics are IPad WII

and Nintendo DS I like these

because they are fun I use my IPad

for email and games Electronics

are part of my daily life

In conclusion my life is

being active and having fun My

family is important to my life I like

that my family are around the

world I have enjoyed moving to

different places The hard thing is

to say goodbye to friends I feel I

have a lot of interests I hope you

enjoyed my life story

Book Suggestion

As a psychologist I would like to warmly

recommend Hans Christians Andersenrsquos

fairy tales stories fit for all ages HC

Andersens tales were read for me when I

was a child and I have often revisited

them in my work after I have spoken to

clients because they offer words and ideas

to psychological issues

Take for example the Little Mermaid A

tale is about a heroine with investigative

curiosity fascinated by the unknown and

intent on broadening her horizons She

has an intense longing to visit the world

above the sea by arranging the flowers in

her garden into the shape of the sun

listening to her grandmother and sisters

stories of the surface The world above

seems larger than her own and she wants

to know as much as she can about it

HC Andersen talks about things that

are on everyonersquos minds and yet he

makes it exciting and fantastic They are

short stories easy to read

Once upon a time there lived a girl

wanted to keep this a secret She always

dreamed of having a new adventure so

she went inside She could not believe

her eyes when she saw fairies flying

around Some of the fairies were

working and the little ones were

playing And at that moment she saw

the most beautiful fairy that looked like

a 12-year-old girl just like Emily was

Emily forgot about everything she had

seen and just wanted to be her friend

but she couldnrsquot just go and say hello

because she was a fairy and Emily was a

human She thought that the fairy might

get scared but she always wanted a best

friend so she went to say hello to her

The fairy got a little scared but she

couldnrsquot believe her eyes that a real

human talked to her The fairy said hello

back to Emily the fairy asked Emily

how did she find the fairy world Emily

told the whole story about how did she

find the fairy world When she was

finished the whole story she asked the

fairy what was her name The fairy said

her name was Emma and asked whatrsquos

yours Emily told her name

Emily and Emma talked and talked

When Emily remembered that it had

been an hour since she was in the fairy

land Emily thought her parents might

be worried about her so Emily told

Emma that she needed to go home and

she would meet her the other day And

that is how the days went Emily would

always go to the fairy world and meet

Emma And soon the whole fairy world

new about Emily and they were not

scared of her They treated her like a

fairy But one day it all turned out the

other way While Emilyrsquos was mom

cooking in the kitchen the oven caught

fire Since the whole house was made

out of wood so the house burned down

very quickly The family didnt have

anywhere to live in Emily had to tell

her secret about the secret door to save

herself and her parents she showed

them the way to the fairy world she

throw a piece of wood to the wall and

the wall began to open her parents

could not believe it Emily ran to

Emma and told her what

happened Emma got upset about the

burned house very much Emily asked

Emma if she and her parents could live

there then she showed Emma her

parents coming towards Emma saw how

devastated they were and felt really

sorry for them She immediately went to

ask the fairy queen whether Emily and

her parents could stay there after long

hours of discussions and talk they

decided to let Emily and her parents

stay And they lived happily ever after

Once upon a time there lived a girl

named Emily She lived with her parents

in a small little house Her family was a

little poor but not that much One day

while Emily was playing with her doll

she accidently threw it in the wall and

suddenly the wall began to open She

could not believe her eyes She got a

little scared but didnt start to yell She

wanted to keep this a secret She always

dreamed of having a new adventure so

she went inside She could not believe

her eyes when she saw fairies flying

around Some of the fairies were

working and the little ones were

playing And at that moment she saw

the most beautiful fairy that looked like

a 12-year-old girl just like Emily was

Emily forgot about everything she had

seen and just wanted to be her friend

but she couldnrsquot just go and say hello

because she was a fairy and Emily was a

human She thought that the fairy might

get scared but she always wanted a best

friend so she went to say hello to her

The fairy got a little scared but she

couldnrsquot believe her eyes that a real

human talked to her The fairy said hello

back to Emily the fairy asked Emily

how did she find the fairy world Emily

told the whole story about how did she

find the fairy world When she was

finished the whole story she asked the

fairy what was her name The fairy said

her name was Emma and asked whatrsquos

yours Emily told her name

Emily and Emma talked and talked

When Emily remembered that it had

been an hour since she was in the fairy

land Emily thought her parents might

be worried about her so Emily told

Emma that she needed to go home and

she would meet her the other day And

that is how the days went Emily would

always go to the fairy world and meet

Emma And soon the whole fairy world

new about Emily and they were not

scared of her They treated her like a

fairy But one day it all turned out the

other way While Emilyrsquos was mom

cooking in the kitchen the oven caught

fire Since the whole house was made

out of wood so the house burned down

very quickly The family didnt have

anywhere to live in Emily had to tell

her secret about the secret door to save

herself and her parents she showed

them the way to the fairy world she

throw a piece of wood to the wall and

the wall began to open her parents

could not believe it Emily ran to

Emma and told her what

happened Emma got upset about the

burned house very much Emily asked

Emma if she and her parents could live

there then she showed Emma her

parents coming towards Emma saw how

devastated they were and felt really

sorry for them She immediately went to

ask the fairy queen whether Emily and

her parents could stay there after long

hours of discussions and talk they

decided to let Emily and her parents

stay And they lived happily ever after

My Life Story Jeremiah Nyancho

OslashISIE -acuteOslashsterbro International School In English 49

When I was 6 years old I

moved to Copenhagen in Denmark

At the start we stayed in a hotel At

the very beginning I felt like I

wanted to go back to Kenya I

didnrsquot want to move The hard part

was packing When I had to say

goodbye it was ok but when my

sister had to say goodbye she

cried At the start in Copenhagen it

was hard taking trains to school

because I was learning how to take

a train Now I am 12 years old soon

13 in 4 months and I like it in

Copenhagen The people are

helpful I like the friends here they

are nice I think it is a nice thing to

move around When I am older and

I have a job I want to travel all

around the world I especially

would like to live in Rio

My two main interests are

sports and electronics My favorite

sports are basketball football and

swimming When I was 6 I liked

football then when I was 11 years

old I liked swimming and now that

I am 12 I started to like basketball

Sports make me who I am I used to

go to a swimming club and it was

hard from the beginning

Swimming is hard because it is

hard to cope with others who are

good and fast I used to play on a

football team and it was hard to

cope with the good footballers It

was boring without activities I

hope I join a new football club I

play basketball during breaks and

PE time and I want to keep playing

these sports in the future My

favorite electronics are IPad WII

and Nintendo DS I like these

because they are fun I use my IPad

for email and games Electronics

are part of my daily life

In conclusion my life is

being active and having fun My

family is important to my life I like

that my family are around the

world I have enjoyed moving to

different places The hard thing is

to say goodbye to friends I feel I

have a lot of interests I hope you

enjoyed my life story

Book Suggestion

As a psychologist I would like to warmly

recommend Hans Christians Andersenrsquos

fairy tales stories fit for all ages HC

Andersens tales were read for me when I

was a child and I have often revisited

them in my work after I have spoken to

clients because they offer words and ideas

to psychological issues

Take for example the Little Mermaid A

tale is about a heroine with investigative

curiosity fascinated by the unknown and

intent on broadening her horizons She

has an intense longing to visit the world

above the sea by arranging the flowers in

her garden into the shape of the sun

listening to her grandmother and sisters

stories of the surface The world above

seems larger than her own and she wants

to know as much as she can about it

HC Andersen talks about things that

are on everyonersquos minds and yet he

makes it exciting and fantastic They are

short stories easy to read

My Life Story Jeremiah Nyancho

OslashISIE -acuteOslashsterbro International School In English 49

When I was 6 years old I

moved to Copenhagen in Denmark

At the start we stayed in a hotel At

the very beginning I felt like I

wanted to go back to Kenya I

didnrsquot want to move The hard part

was packing When I had to say

goodbye it was ok but when my

sister had to say goodbye she

cried At the start in Copenhagen it

was hard taking trains to school

because I was learning how to take

a train Now I am 12 years old soon

13 in 4 months and I like it in

Copenhagen The people are

helpful I like the friends here they

are nice I think it is a nice thing to

move around When I am older and

I have a job I want to travel all

around the world I especially

would like to live in Rio

My two main interests are

sports and electronics My favorite

sports are basketball football and

swimming When I was 6 I liked

football then when I was 11 years

old I liked swimming and now that

I am 12 I started to like basketball

Sports make me who I am I used to

go to a swimming club and it was

hard from the beginning

Swimming is hard because it is

hard to cope with others who are

good and fast I used to play on a

football team and it was hard to

cope with the good footballers It

was boring without activities I

hope I join a new football club I

play basketball during breaks and

PE time and I want to keep playing

these sports in the future My

favorite electronics are IPad WII

and Nintendo DS I like these

because they are fun I use my IPad

for email and games Electronics

are part of my daily life

In conclusion my life is

being active and having fun My

family is important to my life I like

that my family are around the

world I have enjoyed moving to

different places The hard thing is

to say goodbye to friends I feel I

have a lot of interests I hope you

enjoyed my life story

Book Suggestion

As a psychologist I would like to warmly

recommend Hans Christians Andersenrsquos

fairy tales stories fit for all ages HC

Andersens tales were read for me when I

was a child and I have often revisited

them in my work after I have spoken to

clients because they offer words and ideas

to psychological issues

Take for example the Little Mermaid A

tale is about a heroine with investigative

curiosity fascinated by the unknown and

intent on broadening her horizons She

has an intense longing to visit the world

above the sea by arranging the flowers in

her garden into the shape of the sun

listening to her grandmother and sisters

stories of the surface The world above

seems larger than her own and she wants

to know as much as she can about it

HC Andersen talks about things that

are on everyonersquos minds and yet he

makes it exciting and fantastic They are

short stories easy to read

Once upon a time there lived a girl

while Emily was playing with her doll

she accidently threw it in the wall and

suddenly the wall began to open She

could not believe her eyes She got a

little scared but didnt start to yell She

wanted to keep this a secret She always

dreamed of having a new adventure so

she went inside She could not believe

her eyes when she saw fairies flying

around Some of the fairies were

working and the little ones were

playing And at that moment she saw

the most beautiful fairy that looked like

a 12-year-old girl just like Emily was

Emily forgot about everything she had

seen and just wanted to be her friend

but she couldnrsquot just go and say hello

because she was a fairy and Emily was a

human She thought that the fairy might

get scared but she always wanted a best

friend so she went to say hello to her

The fairy got a little scared but she

couldnrsquot believe her eyes that a real

human talked to her The fairy said hello

back to Emily the fairy asked Emily

how did she find the fairy world Emily

told the whole story about how did she

find the fairy world When she was

finished the whole story she asked the

fairy what was her name The fairy said

her name was Emma and asked whatrsquos

yours Emily told her name

Emily and Emma talked and talked

When Emily remembered that it had

Book Suggestion

As a psychologist I would like to warmly

recommend Hans Christians Andersenrsquos

fairy tales stories fit for all ages HC

Andersens tales were read for me when I

was a child and I have often revisited

them in my work after I have spoken to

clients because they offer words and ideas

to psychological issues

Take for example the Little Mermaid A

tale is about a heroine with investigative

curiosity fascinated by the unknown and

intent on broadening her horizons She

has an intense longing to visit the world

above the sea by arranging the flowers in

her garden into the shape of the sun

listening to her grandmother and sisters

stories of the surface The world above

seems larger than her own and she wants

to know as much as she can about it

HC Andersen talks about things that

are on everyonersquos minds and yet he

makes it exciting and fantastic They are

short stories easy to read

OslashISIE -acuteOslashsterbro International School In English 47

Once upon a time there lived a girl

named Emily She lived with her parents

in a small little house Her family was a

little poor but not that much One day

while Emily was playing with her doll

she accidently threw it in the wall and

suddenly the wall began to open She

could not believe her eyes She got a

little scared but didnt start to yell She

wanted to keep this a secret She always

dreamed of having a new adventure so

she went inside She could not believe

her eyes when she saw fairies flying

around Some of the fairies were

working and the little ones were

playing And at that moment she saw

the most beautiful fairy that looked like

a 12-year-old girl just like Emily was

Emily forgot about everything she had

seen and just wanted to be her friend

but she couldnrsquot just go and say hello

because she was a fairy and Emily was a

human She thought that the fairy might

get scared but she always wanted a best

friend so she went to say hello to her

The fairy got a little scared but she

couldnrsquot believe her eyes that a real

human talked to her The fairy said hello

back to Emily the fairy asked Emily

how did she find the fairy world Emily

told the whole story about how did she

find the fairy world When she was

finished the whole story she asked the

fairy what was her name The fairy said

her name was Emma and asked whatrsquos

yours Emily told her name

Emily and Emma talked and talked

When Emily remembered that it had

been an hour since she was in the fairy

land Emily thought her parents might

be worried about her so Emily told

Emma that she needed to go home and

she would meet her the other day And

that is how the days went Emily would

always go to the fairy world and meet

Emma And soon the whole fairy world

new about Emily and they were not

scared of her They treated her like a

fairy But one day it all turned out the

other way While Emilyrsquos was mom

cooking in the kitchen the oven caught

fire Since the whole house was made

out of wood so the house burned down

very quickly The family didnt have

anywhere to live in Emily had to tell

her secret about the secret door to save

herself and her parents she showed

them the way to the fairy world she

throw a piece of wood to the wall and

the wall began to open her parents

could not believe it Emily ran to

Emma and told her what

happened Emma got upset about the

burned house very much Emily asked

Emma if she and her parents could live

there then she showed Emma her

parents coming towards Emma saw how

devastated they were and felt really

sorry for them She immediately went to

ask the fairy queen whether Emily and

her parents could stay there after long

hours of discussions and talk they

decided to let Emily and her parents

stay And they lived happily ever after

My Life Story Jeremiah Nyancho

OslashISIE -acuteOslashsterbro International School In English 49

When I was 6 years old I

moved to Copenhagen in Denmark

At the start we stayed in a hotel At

the very beginning I felt like I

wanted to go back to Kenya I

didnrsquot want to move The hard part

was packing When I had to say

goodbye it was ok but when my

sister had to say goodbye she

cried At the start in Copenhagen it

was hard taking trains to school

because I was learning how to take

a train Now I am 12 years old soon

13 in 4 months and I like it in

Copenhagen The people are

helpful I like the friends here they

are nice I think it is a nice thing to

move around When I am older and

I have a job I want to travel all

around the world I especially

would like to live in Rio

My two main interests are

sports and electronics My favorite

sports are basketball football and

swimming When I was 6 I liked

football then when I was 11 years

old I liked swimming and now that

I am 12 I started to like basketball

Sports make me who I am I used to

go to a swimming club and it was

hard from the beginning

Swimming is hard because it is

hard to cope with others who are

good and fast I used to play on a

football team and it was hard to

cope with the good footballers It

was boring without activities I

hope I join a new football club I

play basketball during breaks and

PE time and I want to keep playing

these sports in the future My

favorite electronics are IPad WII

and Nintendo DS I like these

because they are fun I use my IPad

for email and games Electronics

are part of my daily life

In conclusion my life is

being active and having fun My

family is important to my life I like

that my family are around the

world I have enjoyed moving to

different places The hard thing is

to say goodbye to friends I feel I

have a lot of interests I hope you

enjoyed my life story

My very own story

OslashISIE -acuteOslashsterbro International School In English 47

Once upon a time there lived a girl

named Emily She lived with her parents

in a small little house Her family was a

little poor but not that much One day

while Emily was playing with her doll

she accidently threw it in the wall and

suddenly the wall began to open She

could not believe her eyes She got a

little scared but didnt start to yell She

wanted to keep this a secret She always

dreamed of having a new adventure so

she went inside She could not believe

her eyes when she saw fairies flying

around Some of the fairies were

working and the little ones were

playing And at that moment she saw

the most beautiful fairy that looked like

a 12-year-old girl just like Emily was

Emily forgot about everything she had

seen and just wanted to be her friend

but she couldnrsquot just go and say hello

because she was a fairy and Emily was a

human She thought that the fairy might

get scared but she always wanted a best

friend so she went to say hello to her

The fairy got a little scared but she

couldnrsquot believe her eyes that a real

human talked to her The fairy said hello

back to Emily the fairy asked Emily

how did she find the fairy world Emily

told the whole story about how did she

find the fairy world When she was

finished the whole story she asked the

fairy what was her name The fairy said

her name was Emma and asked whatrsquos

yours Emily told her name

Emily and Emma talked and talked

When Emily remembered that it had

been an hour since she was in the fairy

land Emily thought her parents might

be worried about her so Emily told

Emma that she needed to go home and

she would meet her the other day And

that is how the days went Emily would

always go to the fairy world and meet

Emma And soon the whole fairy world

new about Emily and they were not

scared of her They treated her like a

fairy But one day it all turned out the

other way While Emilyrsquos was mom

cooking in the kitchen the oven caught

fire Since the whole house was made

out of wood so the house burned down

very quickly The family didnt have

anywhere to live in Emily had to tell

her secret about the secret door to save

herself and her parents she showed

them the way to the fairy world she

throw a piece of wood to the wall and

the wall began to open her parents

could not believe it Emily ran to

Emma and told her what

happened Emma got upset about the

burned house very much Emily asked

Emma if she and her parents could live

there then she showed Emma her

parents coming towards Emma saw how

devastated they were and felt really

sorry for them She immediately went to

ask the fairy queen whether Emily and

her parents could stay there after long

hours of discussions and talk they

decided to let Emily and her parents

stay And they lived happily ever after

find the fairy world When she was

finished the whole story she asked the

fairy what was her name The fairy said

her name was Emma and asked whatrsquos

yours Emily told her name

Emily and Emma talked and talked

When Emily remembered that it had

been an hour since she was in the fairy

land Emily thought her parents might

be worried about her so Emily told

Emma that she needed to go home and

she would meet her the other day And

that is how the days went Emily would

always go to the fairy world and meet

Emma And soon the whole fairy world

new about Emily and they were not

scared of her They treated her like a

fairy But one day it all turned out the

other way While Emilyrsquos was mom

cooking in the kitchen the oven caught

fire Since the whole house was made

out of wood so the house burned down

very quickly The family didnt have

anywhere to live in Emily had to tell

her secret about the secret door to save

herself and her parents she showed

them the way to the fairy world she

throw a piece of wood to the wall and

the wall began to open her parents

Emma and told her what

happened Emma got upset about the

burned house very much Emily asked

Emma if she and her parents could live

there then she showed Emma her

parents coming towards Emma saw how

devastated they were and felt really

sorry for them She immediately went to

ask the fairy queen whether Emily and

her parents could stay there after long

hours of discussions and talk they

decided to let Emily and her parents

was packing When I had to say

goodbye it was ok but when my

sister had to say goodbye she

cried At the start in Copenhagen it

was boring without activities I

hope I join a new football club I

play basketball during breaks and

Once upon a time there lived a girl

named Emily She lived with her parents

in a small little house Her family was a

little poor but not that much One day

while Emily was playing with her doll

she accidently threw it in the wall and

suddenly the wall began to open She

could not believe her eyes She got a

little scared but didnt start to yell She

wanted to keep this a secret She always

dreamed of having a new adventure so

she went inside She could not believe

her eyes when she saw fairies flying

around Some of the fairies were

working and the little ones were

playing And at that moment she saw

the most beautiful fairy that looked like

a 12-year-old girl just like Emily was

Emily forgot about everything she had

seen and just wanted to be her friend

but she couldnrsquot just go and say hello

because she was a fairy and Emily was a

human She thought that the fairy might

get scared but she always wanted a best

friend so she went to say hello to her

The fairy got a little scared but she

couldnrsquot believe her eyes that a real

human talked to her The fairy said hello

back to Emily the fairy asked Emily

how did she find the fairy world Emily

told the whole story about how did she

find the fairy world When she was
