The perspective of a bee

  As I flew on to something that smelt like cotton, I realized I had landed on a human being. I was petrified thinking what would happen to me. This was the very first time I had gone to collect nectar and I had a bad feeling this would be my last if I didn't act fast. I thought about using my only weapon, my stinger. The consequence of that would be me not alive which I obviously didn't want. I felt awful and sorry for all the bees because they only get to use their stinger once. "Hmm..", I thought. I remembered that the human didn't notice me yet. I camouflaged into her yellow shirt that was the perfect shade of yellow for me to hide. All of a sudden someone said, " A bee! Ew!" My eyes widened. I charged into full speed. I  went as fast as than those huge things called cars or something. My family screamed when I came flying into the hive. " Were you guys scared I was gone for an hour?" I asked, panting. 
"You were gone for one and a half..." Everyone said.
"One and a half hours, right?" I said jumping.
"No, One and a half minutes!" Everyone laughed.

Diversity means...


Diversity means to be as different as every snowflake that cascades down to earth
 Diversity means the same rain that sprinkles on many colorful umbrellas
 To me, having a special dinner with my Jewish friend on Hanukah,  
Hiding colorful eggs on Easter day
Switching envelopes with my friends on Chinese New year,
And eating sweets on Diwali
Is diversity!
Without diversity, life would be gloomy
I would have the same breakfast, lunch, and dinner everyday
Seasons would not switch
An orchestra would be absolutely tedious with only one instrument playing
My vibrant quilt would be drab
A rainbow with only one color would not be delightful
The same car would be sold all around the world
I would love to wear shorts on a sunny day
And rain boots on a rainy day
Without diversity I have to wear the same type of clothes everyday
 Diversity is all around me
To me, diversity means to have a variety of friends, celebrations, colors, and many wonderful things.
