I lay in bed quite peacefully, not breaking any rule when I heard a loud voice say, "Wake up, wake up, sleepy head, you have to go to school." Reluctantly, I dragged myself from the blankets that were cozy and so warm, feeling more than just forlorn. The voice continued, "Take a shower, brush your teeth and hair, then put on your school uniform, while breakfast I prepare."

Sam, that's me, hurriedly collected my homework, pencils, and school book. My mom, who was preparing breakfast, asked, "Where is your school bag? Have you filled it with all I said?" She shook her head, "My goodness, you still look like you've just got out of bed!" I quickly put on my shoes, ready for the bus that waited for no child.

On the bus, I saw my friend Maya. Together, we played games on our smartphones, happy for a while. But once we arrived at school, where phones were not allowed, we turned them off and sat there all confused. Our teacher, Mr. Thompson, asked us to take out our Science books, "Tell me how far from here to Mars? And what shines in the sky at night, are they planets or are they stars?"
