This summer, I found myself back in a tribal village in India, with less resources and available information, the school there was struggling with  issues. The batteries of their solar panel have broken, with the failure of those batteries, it meant for them complete isolation from elect

By: Anonymous submission Campaign: Anything and Everything #literature When I look out the train window and watch the snow sliding along the hills, I always think about how far I’ve gone. Not just in miles, but also in years, places, and the person I used to be. The soft hum of the train, at a moment, sounds like the rhythm of heartbeats in the journey.  I lived in Taichung when I was younger, when life was simpler and moved at a more leisurely pace. I can still remember play

By: Anonymous submission Campaign: Anything and Everything #literature It's Monday morning, 8:10, and I just arrived at the tutorial room where the psychology class takes place. It's a small room that's just big enough to fit in about 20 people. I walked into the room from the back door, which is just 4 rows away from the stage. The class had already started, and everyone was taking notes of what the professor was lecturing about. The only person who seems to be as tired as m

Back then, “Perfectionism” excellently described me as a person. I planned everything carefully, and any mistakes or unexpected events that didn’t follow my schedule made me feel upset. Sometimes, life presents us with the opportunity to cha

At night, the world turned into shadows; black fields, sleeping animals and the quiet hum of insects between the bushes and in the tree. However, there was always one place that always had electricity when the sun goes down, which is the electric pole that has always been standing there at the edge of the road. Every time when an e

Not even now. In Malaysia we had an unspoken rule during night shifts. Do not tempt chaos. My Taiwanese friends said doctors here avoid eating pineapple or mango because in Taiwan

By: anonymous submission Campaign: Anything and Everything #literature Lights flashed my eyes, blinding me. Cheers roared around me. People were all standing.  I beat last year’s champion.  My hands felt foreign as they held the shining trophy before me.  Because years before that day, silence had been my refuge.  Glossophobia had held my voice captive. And it wasn’t just the thought of standing in front of a crowd that brought me horror, it was the exposure. The vulnerabilit

Campaign: Anything and Everything #shortessay #highschool #mentalhealthawareness As you wondered and laughed through your two years of middle school, from being a cute terrified little freshman to the: “I’m only a year older” 8th grader, till now. Start of the day, you find yourself standing in front of your new floored classroom which reads “902”. The realization hits you “Damn.

By: Anonymous Submission Campaign: Anything and Everything A Hunger Games inspired dystopian story about a girl who goes through the trials of a game. A very short story that doesn't have a happy ending. #shortstory #fiction #dystopian The First Round The rain patted on my hair, with tears prompting the coldest of my future. The television back at home showed me people taking part in the game, watching them suffer as they disappeared bit by bit. Day after day. It was my turn.
