This is my digital magazine, an amazing project we have been working in literatura class this months, for this, we wrote some different kind of text, for example poems, a memoir, a diary etc., my favorite text is the first poem we wrote, the title is “My Sunight”, because it represents the feelings I have for a really special person. It was interesting to write all this texts because I don’t usually write. I think that the most difficult text to write was the short story to me , because is the longest and it was really hard to narrate my story , because is more about feelings and thougths from the main character. I think that this is really good to read because , we are just high school students, and maybe some of us can become famous writters , so you can learn many things about our minds , my magazine is very emotional , it will maybe make you connect with your feelings.
My Sunlight
I don´t know what is this feeling about I feel it when I see your eyes Maybe it is love , it feels like more But what is love about?
I was alone , I felt broken down Then you appeared and set on the light Your smile can change the vibe Its like a brighting star
I am in love with your mind I am in love with your hearth You entered like the sunshine And changed my whole path
I like your sadness too I don´t care if you cry Maybe love isn´t just sugar But we need it to stay alive

September 19th : When Mexico Was Silent The last Tuesday , september 19th , an earthquake measuring 7.2 degrees on the Richter scale took place , affecting the Mexico city , Puebla and Morelos it was a really unfortunate event , a lot of people died and also get hurt. I was in ethics and valeus class , my classmates were telling jokes and laughing , then I felt the ground move so violently that I rose from a single movement and went as fast as I could to the designated safety zone , while I was walking I suddenly felt down because of th movement but before I touched the floor , someone took my arm and raised me up , we go out fast and stayed with the teachers all the time until the alarm stopped , I felt really scared , at first I wasn´t that bad but I started thinking about my mother because she is pregnant and she was in her work , alone , when the clock marked 2:00 pm teachers let us go out , my mom was in the traffic and my grandmother was taking care of my cousings so I thought I would stay at school a long time but my boyfriend asked me to go to his house and wait for my mother there , so I went with him and his mom and they offer me to eat with they I accepted and 3 hours later my mother arrived and picked me up , I felt kind of shooked , I´ve never underestimated natural disasters but I had no idea of what it feels to live something like that ,mexican people died , I am lucky , I thought I was about to die but circunstances were by my side and Iam really gratefull with life and God because I am alive and all my important persons are alright , also because life gave me the opportunity to help other
people too , this experience made me aprecciate the important of enjoying life , expressing your feeling , the importance of saying “ I love you” becouse we don´t know when it will be our last day here.
Big Minds, have big dreams too.
My acrostic
Kindness in an important characteristic of mine Astrophysics is one of my passions Reading books is really nice and relaxing to me Life is giong very good at the moment Art is the best way to express myself

“Best Friends”
Mia Nóvikov Mia Nóvikov , that´s my name yes ,as you can see I have russian roots, I am 17 years old and nowodays I live in Liverpool, England, but my life was never easy, when I was 5 years old I lost the only person I had at that moment, my beloved mother, as for my father, he left to my mother and me as soon as he learned of my existence. As soon as my mother died I went to live with my uncles on her side, I had never seen them before, and they did not know that I existed, my mother and they were distanced so she never talked them about me. At first, everything was unconfortable and sad for me , I did not knew my own family, I felt so alone, I felt helpless, weak, apathetic and I had almost lost hope, because I had been robbed of the only person I loved with all my heart, my mother, my companion and guardian angel. With the passage of time, I took care of them and appreciated all that they did for me, they became my second parents and my cousin in my older brother , the years passed, I grew up as a relatively normal girl, with some economic limitations, but always value what my uncles could give me , I decided to start swimming in a competitive way, thanks to that and my academic performance I got a scholarship in one of the best schools in Liverpool, where I study today. Love never meant an indispensable part of my life, despite being an "unstable and curious teenager" I had never fallen in love with someone really, I did not know what it meant to really love someone, but, we could really fall in love with being still teenagers? Thinking of love, made me feel strange, I thought of kisses and boys and weird things, I always ended up giving myself a cold shower. The story of how my life changed before I even realized ti did.
It was five o´clock of the morning , I woke up when hearing the alarm ranging with my favorite song, I felt so tired, despite having a summer vacation, I had
to go to training every day, I dressed and I prepared for school, it was the beginning of semester, I was going to the second year of high school. -Good mornig aunt Olinka..- I said while I was preparing an expresso , about to leave the house. - Good morning honey , take care – my aunt gave to me the food she prepared for me – Have nice day Mia , now you are a second grader ! I smiled and leaved the house , I took the bus that went along the route that took me to schoolas usual I look out the window listening to music, I was not particularly excited even though it was the beginning of the school year, because I did not have many friends, my sport kept me motivated, I would not say that I am a cheerful girl, on the contrary I think that I´ve always been a sad vibes person , it rained a little bit strong that morning, when I was a little girl the storms made me feel weak and small, but at that time I was not feeling the same , this time rain made me feel calmed and sleepy so, maybe gils like me belong to the rain. When I arrived to scool , I was thinking of everything and listening to my favorite song , then I felt someone tapping my shoulder carefully and I turned back quickly, was a girl, maybe new because I had never seen her before,she looked small, maybe first semester , she also looked very insecure and maybe afraid - E-excuse me.. do you know where I can find the teacher encharged to take us to our classrooms?- She said with a really soft voice , but smiling kindly. At firts a didn´t answered , I was looking at her , I liked the way she was smiling, I would normally have said no and I would have turned around, but something inside me wanted to help her. - Of course , come on follow me – I said with a small but warm slime-. The girl smiled, this time with more confidence and then she followed me, I do not usually talk much, so I did not say a word until she started to talk . - My name is Aura Hamilton , I´m from first semester so I am new in this hightschool hehe – she started laughing , she looks really excited and maybe cute.
- Uhmm..My name is Mia..Mia Nรณvikov..I am in fourth semester now.-as I said I am not a very talkative person , so I barely answered to her. Later , at when the classes ended Aura and me went to the center , to drink some coffe and know each other , since that day Aura and me became good friends , she was constantly looking for me in my classroom, and after a while I started to do it too, I discovered, as long as Aura is a pretty special girl, I never imagined being friend of the girl who asked me for directions on the first day of classes. In fact I had never been close to a person other than my family, Aura was undoubtedly the first person who managed to become special for me, who gradually knew more details about me, she was gaining my confidence with his actions and in turn my appreciation. But also also Aura seemed to me a very beautiful girl, intelligent, sensitive and of course special, she played the transverse flute to perfection, she told me that her parents have made her play since she was 6 years old, mother of God! I remember when I heard her play for the first time, it was the most beautiful thing in the world, music can make people sensitive and fragile, but simply what the music of Aura caused me, has no explanation, despite all the beauty too she could feel a lot of melancholy and sadness , it was rare coming from her as she is the most cheerful girl I ever met, when she enters the room it seems as if she illuminated it with her smile , sometimes I thought I was a strange girl, because I thought of Aura in a particular way, sometimes it makes me feel so strange, that I have to go and take a cold shower! But my mind and everything became even more strange than I already felt when one night, rainy, cold and something frightening to my mind Aura arrived at my house almost at 10pm, it was so strange that even frightened me when Aunt Olinka told me she was at the door. - Aura what are you doing at this time alone! look you are completely wet! - I said opening the door of a single movement, She did not look very well, as soon as I said this, she began to cry in silence embracing me. - I ... I had a fight with my parents, we said horrible things, and I feel broken Mia, I feel disappointed, I did not think my parents could hurt me that way- she said while crying.
- Aura! coming alone at this hour was risky! What if something happened to you?- I said screaming, then I realized that she was fragile, I did not want her mood to worsen, so I took a long breath, give her a strong hug and invite her to go to dry and drink some tea. She went into the house, lent him clothes so he would not get sick and forced her to tell her parents that she was safe, my aunt made her tea and also gave us some cookies, Aura was a little embarrassed for having made raise Aunt Olinka, but she did it with pleasure as she appreciated Aura , we were talking at the table, got her to tell me what happened to his parents. - I told my mother I wanted to go back to ballet classes ..a long time ago I stopped going because my mother does not like it, she prefers music .. then I told my mother that I was tired of her not letting me do what I like and that she have no right to force me ,besides that she never spend time with me! - her eyes got crystallized again. - No Aura don’t cry again..- I took her hand softly trying to make her stop crying. Aura's father said he would send the driver to pick her up, wow the driver? I knew that Aura came from a wealthy family, had even gone to his house, but never imagine that much. then Aunt Olinka went to sleep , Aura and I waited for the driver to arrive, in the small living room of my house, she looked so helpless that I could not stop hugging her, while I hugged her, I thought, how someone who would has everything can still be unhappy? Aura was looking into my eyes, she had beautiful gray eyes, what was happening to me?! I felt the need to protect her and I did not want to see her sad, she rejoiced my days, but how would I rejoice her? I realized everything that was going through my mind and this led me to wonder what I feel for her? why suddenly I find her so beautiful, why? - Mia thank..- I didn’t let her even finish the sentence, I kiss her lips softly as if I had no control over my own body, until I was kissing her I did not realize what I was doing, I parted delicately, waiting for her reaction, actually I was scared Aura is my best friend, I did not wanted to bother her or make her angry..I felt dumb and guilty at the same time I just looked away very nervously, waiting for what would happen later, Aura looked at me surprised, at the same time with color on his cheeks, I closed my eyes sighing, then I
almost had a heart attack, when I felt Aura's lips on mine, giving me a soft kiss, as if it were petals of rose - Thank you, Mia. - she said smiling and looking into my eyes with her beautiful gray eyes - I did not say anything else, I just smiled and hugged her, until the driver arrived, and took her safe and sound home. I feel strange talking about her because..because I loved her, not only as my best friend, I loved her as a girl but why will there always be prejudices? Why do people hide what they feel? maybe I fell in love with Aura before I realized that I did or maybe I never wanted to accept the truth, I was so afraid, how a girl, could fall in love with another girl? But how could someone not fall in love with Aura?, she changed my life, she came to get me out of that pool of pain and sorrow, she arrived and took away from me the bad feelings, the apathy that I felt .. she gradually became the love of my life, thanks to this, the brief history of how my life took a turn, I learned that feelings are to show themselves, life, is to love, to laugh, a person like that will always accompany you in good or bad because .. that is love about Isn’t it? that's what life is about, love, feel, experience, do not let prejudices stop you, be responsible, let happiness come to you, say what you feel, never hide your feelings, never hold back your tears , because life is only one, we learn from our mistakes, just as we suffer, we smile, because everything is part of a symphony..
Embarrassed of loving Aura Hamilton? Never.
