Topic:
Hi I am HorseyCollector1234, and I do not really have anything that I have a huge passion for, but I do believe in (and this may be weird) but the education for children around the world. I know it's a bit random, but I love school because it means I get to learn and hang out with my friends everyday. I feel for those who cannot get good education, because it means they are not getting the same chance at life as those who have education. I hope that one day, people will be able to get good education all around the world. I guess this passion started when I was younger and adults always asked if I like school, and I always used to say "I hate school!" Then as I made friends and realized I could do well at school, I discovered that actually school was something that I looked forward to everyday (and I still do) and I loved to learn and increase my knowledge everyday. My group of friends started to grow, and I knew it was because of school that I was making some of the closest friends in my life. I then began to learn about kids that lived in poor countries, that could not afford or did not have any schools to go to. I thought about how I would feel if school was ripped away from me, and I have to admit it made me feel really sad. I realized that maybe it was something to work towards, a goal for me to focus my energy on.
I know that school can be frustrating, annoying and sometimes troublesome, but nowadays I am grateful for the fact that I have a school and friends to go to. One day I want to make sure that every child across the globe can go to school and maybe enjoy it as much as I do.
Thank you for those that have read my ridiculous paragraph, and I hope it wasn't too weird.
Have a nice day everyone :D

A passion: rocks.
Well, not exactly all rocks. I don't like sedimentary rocks in general, or some metamorphic rocks like gneiss. I really prefer the minerals, but I can't have them without rocks.
So, minerals. I guess You should know how it started.
When I was eight years old, my teacher told the class: "Tomorrow,we are going to study rocks. You all should bring some and we can start with them". I didn't know before that, but my father had studied Geology on his first University year. As every Geology student,
he had a small collection (spoiler alert: I know this is true because I am one now). He gave me his collection, explaining everything! This was quartz, and then there's rose quartz, hialin quartz, smoky quartz and amethyst! There's granite, and limestone, and they're used to make streets! There's basalt, it comes from volcanoes! There's pumice stone, it floats! Oh, this one? This is an agatha. Isn't it pretty?
And so it started.
I've been a A-grade student over the years, and people kept telling me to be a doctor, or a teacher, or anything around it.
They told me Geology wouldn't be a good choice for such a smart girl like me. They told me it was boring, no one would hire me,
there were much better choices, even if it was Geology Engineering! I tried, believe me. I tried Psychology, Bioengineering, Neuroscience, even Literature!
It has been more than 10 years since I decided I wanted to be a Geologist.
I haven't regretted it yet, and I don't think I'll ever do it.
Gods, how I love to learn about crystals! How I love to see them on the microscope, or to look at my collection and see so many things I haven't noticed before! Just the other day, I discovered I had pirite on one of my samples, and I had no idea!
I am fortunate to have discovered my passion so early in life. I would like to see everyone with this kind of luck!
As that isn't possible, I would like to plea to everyone who read this to give Geology a chance. It's not that boring as you might believe, trust me.


Pet's I'm applying too:
I don't want much
If I could have the Reindeer-like 2014 Store pets, I would be happy
If that isn't possible, the UR Bengal would be a nice alternative
If that one isn't available as well, the 2013-Slumber Party Pets group is really beautiful


I hope you all have a nice day!

Hi felix.! (and others reading)

Just like the rest of you, I'm here to write about my passion. The prizes are extremely tempting, but to be honest I'd probably write this anyway regardless of any reward. So here I go. Get comfy :D.

I love horses. I have always loved them, ever since I was a kid. I barely ever interacted with horses as a kid so it must have just been genetics because my cousins and my aunt who lived on the other side of the country owned and rode horses. Every once in a while we went on vacation to different places and rode horses on an hour long trail ride like most people do, but nothing too special. A little while later, I started doing a one-hour horseback riding lesson once a week. When I look back now the lessons were not that exciting. We mostly just walked and practiced turns on some small trails behind neighborhood houses and did a little bit of trotting. At the time I loved it.

But then my dad had gotten a new job offer and we planned to move to Australia, but my parents assured me that I could find a new place to ride after we moved. Once we got here, I was so depressed (I hate saying that, but I truly was. Not anywhere near hurting myself in any way, just not fully being myself. I didn't want to be here [no offense to anyone living or from Australia. I just missed my family and friends]). I went a whole year like this, all while my parents attempted to convince me to do some research and see if any riding places were nearby. But to be honest, that spark was gone. I began to stop loving horses. I just asked myself why I liked them so much. I forgot the joy I used to get from riding and didn't bother thinking about it anymore.

After this first year, I decided to see if there were any riding places nearby just for the fun of it. I don't know what happened, but seeing all these possibilities must have stirred up something within me. Next thing I know I'm spending 4 days of my school break from 9am to 4pm at an all day riding camp at an equestrian center called Cherbon Waters. When I got there, I was so anxious to ride. To sit on a saddle and feel the horses movement in my legs and in my hands. A feeling I had never gotten in my entire life and it felt AMAZING (Only equestrians will know what I'm talking about. I know I probably sound crazy). When we finally started riding, I quickly realized how different this place actually was from what I was used to. We were allowed to canter and jump (which I didn't do immediately because I wasn't at that level yet) and we tacked up our own horses and washed them and had paddocks to put them in and it was soooooo fun! I began to have lessons there. I started with once a week then moved to two lessons a week. I gradually increased that to where I am now doing 9 lessons a week. I spend 12 hours on Saturdays and another 12 on Sundays riding some of the time and helping out the rest of the time.

I have learned so much and I have made so many friendships with both riders and staff. I couldn't imagine doing anything else on my weekend. When I first started I could barely ride and actually fell off and broke my wrist. Once I got back to riding six weeks later, I fell off again and broke my other wrist (pretty pathetic). But I wasn't giving up. I kept riding and kept working. It has now been only one year and I am already better than other riders who have been riding for their entire lives (I'm not trying to brag I am just trying to use this to show the strength of my passion and desire for the sport). I can jump 1 meter high and 90 cm wide with no reins and no stirrups (stirrups are the metal things you put your feet in) and I am most proud of that. I know so much more about horses than I ever have before. But it is not only the riding I am passionate about, it's also the horses themselves. I could sit in the paddocks with the horses for the rest of my life if I was allowed.

Riding and being around the horses gives me a feeling that I can't explain. The movements you feel beneath your skin and the happiness you receive is extraordinary. Being able to give an almost completely inaudible click of the tongue and having this beautiful creature take off with you brings the biggest smile to my face and fills my heart with joy. Standing up in the saddle, dropping the reins and having the wind block out all your senses leaving everything in the world to your and your horse is just unexplainable. Next thing you know you're frozen in time with nothing but air underneath you and your horse's hooves as you sail over a jump made of a fallen tree or an old fence. Everything about being an equestrian is breathtaking, even if you can't ride. I am so passionate about horses and horseback riding, that I can't think of words to fully explain my feelings towards it. All I know is that I will NEVER lose this passion, no matter how long I live 🐴💗


I have so much more to write, but I'll stop now for your sake ;) . Anyway thank you so much for listening and I hope you have a wonderful day :D.


Pets I'm applying for (actually forgot to add this. Whoops! I was so focused on the writing, that it totally slipped my mind):

1. The white Arabian Horse in the 'List Pets' group
2. Store Pets group
3. The black eyed galaxy dog in the 'List Pets' group

Hi Felix! I'm going to write about an experience that I had that completely changed my life. I really appreciate all of this from you!!!! It's so wonderful 😊😊

I’d been going to the same doctor, same office, for the same reason every 6 months for 4 years. I had no Idea that this appointment would be any different from the last ones. But it was different. Very, VERY different.
I stare up at the walls around me. Plain, pale, yellow. Why does every hospital room have to be so boring? I think to myself. I look down at my feet and smile at my neon pink and yellow striped socks. My shoes laid on the floor next to me, because I had just gotten back into the room from my 6 month spine X-Rays. I honestly just wanted to get this appointment over with, so I could get back to school for my favorite subject, writing.
¨Knock, knock, knock.¨ The door opens up and my doctor steps into the room. He adjusts his white doctor’s jacket and puts on his thick, wire rimmed glasses. My eyes travel to his grey mustache. I look up at his face, expecting his usual, happy smile, but I find a worried expression instead. I frown, wondering why.
He powers up the computer and pulls up a set of X-Rays. He pushes his glasses down on his nose, right as the pictures of my spine appears. I stare at the X-Rays in shock. I knew my spine was curvy, but I usually could barely tell. Now, as I gazed at my spine, it looked deformed. My whole body seemed tilted to the right.
“Well, Ella” he says staring at his paper the whole time. “Your curves have progressed quite a bit. I think it's time to put you in a brace.” Okkkkkkkk. I think to myself. I'm sure it's a fabric brace and I won't have to wear it much. I decide that it can't be that big of a deal. I shrug my shoulders and nod for him to keep going. “Let me go get the sample brace for you.” He disappears just as fast as he came in.
What seems like hours later, he emerges again through the door with a huge, bulky, hard looking piece of plastic in the shape of someone's torso. I feel my mouth fall open. “That's the brace?” I ask in voice that I can't identify as my own anymore. The reality of the situation finally sinks in. “Yes.” The doctor says. “You will be required to wear it for 20-22 hours a day, 7 days a week, for about 5 years.”
I look over at my mom and tears fill my eyes. Before I can stop myself, I lean into my mom’s shoulder and sheets of warm tears stream down my cheeks. Of all people in the world, why me? Why would something like this happen to an innocent 9 year old?
I got my brace about a week later. I'm not going to lie, the first week was really hard, but I decided not to be sad about my brace, and find the good things in it. Because of my optimistic attitude towards scoliosis, I have inspired girls all over Texas to be strong in their own brace and to never give up.
After this whole experience, I now realize that scoliosis is only given to people who can handle it. I used to think that life itself was perfect and it was all fun and games. Now, I know that nobody is perfect, and we all make mistakes. Our flaws don't define us, it's how we choose to deal with them.
Although my brace can get really uncomfortable at times, it's almost like a second skin to me, after 2 ½ years. Sometimes, the worst thing that has ever happened to you, if you work really hard and set your mind to it, can turn into something that will be the most empowering journey you will ever experience.

I'm applying for:
1. Cinnabon
2. UR malk
3. Bengal please ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thank you so much I can't thank you enough.

I have been very passionate with art. I have started it when I was 3 but all I did was making smilies and lines. When I grow up a bit I improved a lot and I got really unhealthy obsession with art till now. Art has been my lifestyle and key of my boredom. My father told me that I can't get anything with it but I don't care. I take a drawing everywhere with me and I get alot of spare diaries so I use them till they are full of drawings!

About the interest,
When I was 5 I really got bored and there was nothing to do all I do was sit and watch TV but no I want to do something cool so I asked mother she said "go do some art" I was like "meh" and ran to take my drawing book and pencil and thought about something to draw so I got my mother's phone and looked for my fave fictional character to draw so I found a female character and quickly started to draw when I was done I left the room without interest I told mother I wasn't interested mother said I should draw for 4-5 days so I did. First day didn't caught my interest, Second day seems "meh" , Third day is seems ok after few more days I took since the fifth day didn't really caught my interest then finally got my interest in it and all I do was play and art when I turned 10 I was touched with art so much I even draw and watch TV at the same time half of my time all I did was art. It became my soul. When ever I get lonely I come and do some art.I don't really showed art to my friends when i was young because they always make fool of it and I make extraordinary stuff like wolf etc. But then I just don't care what people think of me and my art. I kept the interest in my soul. All the time I get creative and get very desperate for drawing that I scribble on my desk with chalk on school. My friends threaten me to stop doing that but I still did it and never wanted to stop. The art really got into me. I can't stop myself it makes me feel really happy while I draw , I loved art since 10 years it has been my life now..
I wanna make those inspire who think their art is bad I just wanna show them that it's ok to have bad art you can improve anytime you have life to live fullest to achieve your dreams and take interest in hobbies my family thinks I make the best art and I'm really happy with that. My mother used to say that: Just be yourself you don't have to copy someone's art or artstyle to become the best artist. Remember before you think your art is bad : No one is perfect in anything even god is not always perfect. My family supports me with my art thus I'm now doing art and enjoying it. I love to do art whole my life. Ever since my grandma left to her home I often get very lonely and get no one to talk to so I do drawing instead it helps me spend my time and makes me happy. My mother laughs and shows me my first drawings and I also smile to see my old stuff I made when I was young. Every Christmas and birthday I ask for art stuff like sketch pens , sketch book , colour pencils etc. My grandma told me to gift me my favorite earrings but I tell her I want a drawing book. Every time I just want something with art and crafts. I wanna draw more till my heare tells me too....
And that's how it ends I want to prove by this essay that how I much the love for art I keep till bottom of my heart...

Ive always loved animals. I love nature and everything about it. I wish to be a veterinarian once I get through school. Sadly though, the environment is being destroyed, depleted. Global warming has killed off so much of the beautiful earth. We cause so much struggle and pain to nature. If we'd just be a little less selfish, realize we don't need all these things, the earth might become beautiful and whole again. We pollute the earth and do nothing about it. We have to save our home. However, we don't seem to care. Donald Trump, the president of the USA, removed the environmental department's funds. He doesn't care about the environment, and if the USA elected him that means we must not either. Soon enough we'll realize that we've destroyed the earth when there's nothing left for us but ashes. Humanity as a whole has to stop needing objects and using factories! We can survive without our cell phones and our items.
A great book is Earth Abides. A disease wipes out most of humanity, and the ones that are left revert to a primitive lifestyle. It describes in detail how the earth takes back over and the plants grow freely. If you truly think about it, the world would be better off without humans. However, since we're here already we have to play our part and protect the planet. This is my passion. The environment, the animals- they make up our world. We've killed off so many rare species and there are probably thousands we never discovered because we caused them to go extinct first. Humans have also killed animals for sport and for money. We're killing off so many rhinos for their horns that scientists predict there won't be any rhinos left in the wild by 2025. That's seven years from now. We have to protect the earth. It was given as a gift to us and we have to keep it safe.

Hello! It's very nice to meet you. I'm here to tell you about my passion, which is drawing. :)


Firstly, I should explain who I am. Just call me Mani, but I'm a teen girl living in VA. It's so nice to meet you! My main Passion is drawing. Or any art in particular, but I just love traditional art. It all started when I moved 6 years ago. My mom was going to 'take care' of a man, let's say his name was Jeff, and he had a mental illness; schizophrenia. Now, you may think that this was very dangerous, but he wasn't. I think you would have loved to meet him. He had brown hair, glasses, and he was very smart. He made his own computer program!


But there is something else. He could draw. And his was great at it! It looked as if it was a photograph. And then he would sit down we me, and we would talk and draw. He had a great impact on me, and I miss him alot. When he died last September, sadly he got hit by a car, I was dumbstruck. I became depressed. But after honking about it, I did not want to let him down. He would be very sad to see me like that after we connected so easily.

So, I've been determined to carry on through my art. I strive to be as good as him, and I've made a lot of progress. I draw whenever I can, using whatever I could find. I find it a great stress reliever. My mom is very proud of me, and supports me along with a lot of other people. Today, I have almost all the supplies I need, the only thing I can't seem to find is the time. I'm very good at drawing realistically, and I try my best to do everything I can to inspire others. That's about all I have to say, or can say, and I hope you enjoyed it. Thank you for reading this!

My choice of pets that I would enjoy:
1. Rose pps. (But Blue rose would be acceptable if gone)
2. UR Cinnabun or BEG
3. Group: |Zodiac| *may change*

Have a wonderful day!

I actually needed to think about this one. I had a mini conflict with myself. What am I passionate about? Why am I passionate about it? Am I sure I'm passionate about it? But then it hit me. I actually never thought what I am about to tell you what I'm passionate about it actually something I thought of my true passion. I always thought art was it. But oh, how wrong I was. Art is nice. It's a relaxing thing to do, and it'd be common to say that it's a passion for many. As much as I do love art, I gotta push it aside and shine light on my passion. China.

Okay. So, I'm Asian-Canadian, if that makes any sense. Basically, 99.9% 100% of the people in my family are Chinese or part Chinese. That includes me. Now, I feel like it might seem obvious that if I'm part Chinese, I'd obviously be extremely passionate about it. But there are some things about China that just makes me smile every time I hear the country name.

I admit, I've always dreaded learning the language though. I would have to learn for hours, since I was born in Canada, and lived there for many, many years, so English became my main language. I can speak Chinese, yes, but I'm way more fluent in English than Chinese. I'm told that my Chinese was way better as a really tiny child. Like, toddler child. I can't write Chinese. I can speak quite some Chinese. But I can mostly listen to it. I guess the times when I was very small I still remember a vast majority of the words and so, I can listen to it.

I was born in Canada. At the age of about 2 my family went back to China for about 1 or 2 years. I don't remember much, and so when I went back to Canada I always wanted to go back. So after years and years, my family went back to China for a month. And oh, it was the best. The only thing I hated was the flight. It said it was "24" hours, but it was actually 12 hours. But that aside, I really need to tell you about one of the greatest things about my beloved family's country. The food.

You might've heard the people who say, "Oh, I love Chinese food, yeah". But it's because it's good. From steamed buns to your average bowl of rice. It was great. Now in China, I admit, they have some questionable food. How would a bird nest soup interest you? But I mean, my family enjoyed it.

The toys. I gotta say, I love toys. But China toys are just like... a new thing. They have all sorts of wonderful and fun toys to mess around with. I'm usually into the plush, but they actually have some interesting stuff and things.

To put it short, China is my passion. I apologize for the terrible essay. I'm not particularly good with them, but if it's a passion, I'm all for it. Thank you for putting your time into reading this.

I am rather young, but I'm very passionate about different types of art. For example, traditional art, digital art, writing, designing, etc. I love making new characters, writing them a nice backstory that gives them more meaning to me, and drawing them. Characters are great, you can assign names, certain colors, a story, give them a personality even!

One of my favorites is animation. You can make your character, and even make it move, and have a certain voice you'd like it to have. It's like, you are creating life at your finger tips. It's amazing to me how technology will develop, and how animation and art will be easier to do or be acknowledged more. I know many people enjoy art, and tend to do it as a hobby, but many do not think of making it their profession. To me, being a storyboard artist would be extremely ideal to me. Having these passions, writing, creating, and drawing, would make me be extremely happy.
