A Catastrophic Flaming





                                                  Ball of Innocence


       As  you  can  tell  by  the  title,  the  words  “BALL  OF
       INNOCENCE”,  illustrates  Mother  Earth.  What  so

       ever, many don’t give a second thought about the

       growing  crisis  of  the  dying,  flaming  globe  of
       wonder.  The  one  thing  that  excites  me  or  sparks

       the inner tiger in me is my mother Earth.

       As wonderful and extraordinary as this essay might

       sound,  the  difficulties  and  challenges  that  I  had                      Tharani Ponnusamy
       undergone  to  change  some  things  on  this  planet                              2022-26 ece

       really hit different on a whole new level.

       People who give false promises and are true backstabbers are the ones I have

       faced  in  my  life  for  doing  some  good  deeds.  For  example,  putting  out  a
       petition  to  the  chairperson  of  my  school  to  eradicate  cement  waste  and

       poisonous materials finally became a request that never existed.

       People  laughed  in  the  corner  of  the  classroom  whenever  I  brought  up  the
       topic of climate change.

       "Do you think you could do it? How could one person possibly save all the

       precious savings in the world? Go find a better job to do! Money is life! ",
       Well, as you can see, these were all the voices of the people who pushed me

       down, stomped on my heart, and found many ways to just make me want to

       get emotionally traumatized.

       But I believed that the things that made me think different from others are
       the things that could make me unique in a good way...

       It takes a million sacrifices to get a rare gem. But I believe that the rare gems

       that I got in my life were my dad, mom, and my chemistry teacher, Dr.Phani

       Kumar Sir. Whenever times were low as hell, they gave me many reasons to
       be high as heaven and gave me the strength to continue living my life.
