Days pass and I’m all alone
No whisper no sound
Just wondering around
Crying all alone
In a little shed
No one even
Bothers to call my name
I’m always in little corners
And standing at the end of the line
No friends no company
No one to talk to
This is the end
I’m all alone
My soul is so lonely No friend no family
Not even a knock on the door

Introduction:
Did ever hear about a disease called Parkinson? If you want to know read this project and find out the symptoms, causes, the definition, and cure of a person who has Parkinson and how will he live for the rest of his life.
WILL THE PATIENT DIE OR SURVIVE?!
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS READ TO FIND OUT
Symptoms: A person with Parkinson disease gradually loses the ability to totally control body movements. They occur because the condition gradually kills nerve cells that release dopamine. Dopamine is a neuron transmitter, a chemical that carries messages from one nerve cell to another. It causes tremors of shaking. Time passes and the hands and legs become stiff. The person’s handwriting becomes smaller and it will be harder to speak. Walking becomes a shuffling movement.
How do you know if a person has Parkinson? Well you have to watch the patient’s movement first his hands shiver and he can’t wear slippers his foot will be very loose. Then he will eventually shuffle his movement.
Causes:
There is still no cause, but scientists do know how Parkinson’s disease affects the brain and the body. For some reason nerve cells in the brain begin to die. The cells normally begin to make a chemical called dopamine. When the amount of dopamine in the low the person loses control over the body’s movements. They also say that it’s heredity but there is no proof.
Definition:
Parkinson is a disease that affects the nervous system which affect the movement of hands, legs, and facials movement. Parkinson is a disease that used to affect people between the age of fifties and sixties but now it affects the age between the thirties and fifties. It was named after a doctor named James Parkies he first described it in 1817.
Parkinson is a disorder that gradually destroys brain cells. Parkinson disease due to unknown causes is the most common form of a group of disorders with similar symptoms called Parkinsonism. Other causes of Parkinsonism include certain drugs and exposure to toxic quantities of carbon monoxide.
Cure:
There is no cure but you can accommodate this disease so it can delay the deterioration of the disease. They usually take tablets. However doctors can treat the symptoms. Certain medicines can increase the number of dopamine in the cells. Others slow down its loss. These medications can temporarily ease the affects of the diseases. Therapy helps too. There is only 1% of it to recover after surgery.
Conclusion:
At the end the person with Parkinson will eventually die, but Parkinson is not a fatal.
But I’m heart braking today that there is no way to prevent it and no cure so BECAREFUL! This is all that I have so I hope you liked it!

On a stormy night a pregnant women named Elizabeth sat on a chair nervously waiting for something to appear in London. Her husband had left a long time ago to get Elizabeth her medicine. Elizabeth was so close to deliver a baby boy. She couldn’t do anything but wait. At the end she was so scared so she called the hospital and asked them if they had seen her husband. They replied back saying, “We’re so sorry, he didn’t stop by”.
She couldn’t handle the pain any more so she called the hospital again and explained to them about what she was feeling lately. The doctor was suspicious so he sent her an ambulance. When the doctor was examining her he was surprised because she was ready to give birth, but she refused; she wanted her husband to hold her hand, calm her, and give his support. The doctor didn’t listen to her because it was urgent. At last Elizabeth agreed; she knew if she doesn’t deliver now she will lose he baby. She also said to herself, “I already lost my husband why lose my child”. So she went in and came out with a baby.
Her parents still didn’t know that she delivered a baby boy. Elizabeth decided to call her child Max. Few minutes later the pharmacy called. They called because they wanted Elizabeth to know that her husband had an accident, a truck got over his car and he collapsed and now he’s in the hospital. Elizabeth got up, hung the phone and ran to the reception where she got the room number of her husband and she ran to it. When she opened the door she found her husband barely breathing and unable to talk. While she was sitting there alone in the room with her husband he told her, “Good bye, I’m so sorry I have to leave. Tell Max that I’m sorry”, and her husband died.
At that moment she held Max to her heart and wept. The doctors who were looking for her, found her asleep with her baby crying. They took her to her room where she woke up and found the nurse and the doctors all around her. She was depressed for five days. She was only talking to the nurse repeating that she missed her husband. A week passed and it was time to move to live with her sisters, mom, and her dad.
Three years passed and Max is now in nursery. Every morning Elizabeth had to take him to school, where he noticed and knew that there was a dad in life. But why didn’t he have one. One day Max came up to his mom and asked her, “Where is my dad?” Elizabeth was confused; she didn’t know what to say. So she came up with an answer. “He is coming soon”.
Years passed and now Max is in second grade; he still didn’t see his father. So he gave up and asked his mother where his dad is! But this time he was serious. Elizabeth had no choice but to tell him the truth. When Max knew about the death of his father he ran to his room and started to cry. Next day, Max went to school depressed and weak. The teacher asked him about the reason for his sorrow. He explained to her and Mrs. Amanda felt sorry for him.
When Max reached sixth grade the bullies in his school kept on humiliating and laughing at him. One day a stranger knocked on Max’s house. Elizabeth opened the door. There was a man standing who introduced himself as Mr. Carl. He kneeled and kissed her hand. At that instant, Elizabeth backed up immediately but Carl kept holding her hand and asked her if he could marry her. She slapped him and kicked him out of the house.
Max’s bus had arrived home as usual, his eyes were red as a shiny apple from crying, and he was restless because of his friends bullying him physically and verbally. When he entered the house, Elizabeth closed the doors and windows firmly so Carl won’t enter.
Three years later when Max was in grade nine and Elizabeth’s mother died, Carl showed up again and knocked on the door, but Elizabeth didn’t open. She was nervous and sweating. Carl was steamed up so he started threatening her behind the door by saying, “If you don’t marry me, I will burn down the house, kill your son, and take revenge of you”. When he left, she cried out, “Why is this happening to me and my son? Can’t we live in peace?!” Unfortunately Max was listening to the confrontation, so he ran to his mother who was sobbing and hugged her tightly.
At night a storm was building up, Elizabeth heard on the news that a strong sand storm is attacking the area. So she shut the windows and shutters tightly. She and Max curled up in the basement all night hoping the storm will end. In the morning Elizabeth was coughing continuously. Max thought that it was allergy from dust. Two days later Elizabeth got very weak and had fever. It turned out to be not only an allergy from the dust but a severe lung infection. Max had to stay with her for four months until she was better and gained her strength. Meanwhile Carl kept bothering them, so they decided to sell the house and migrate to Los Angeles were they bought a house near Elizabeth’s sisters.
Max studied in university and became a vet. Then he married a highly educated woman called Mary. She was beautiful and had a joyful character. They got twins a boy and a girl.
AND THEY ALL LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER.

I am from a family that bonds together and never leaves anybody out.
I m from a family that persuades but never lets go of each other.
I am from a family that respects all religions and believes in ours.
I am from a family that travels around the world but never loses sight of one another.
I am from a country that is proud to be where it is.
I am from a country that hides its scenery on high peaks of mountains.
I am from a country that is permitted to extend its wings and is free to do anything it wants to do.
I am from a country left out but not alone.
I am from a country that has been in war but fought for its citizens.
I am from a country that fights for its rights.
I am from a country where birds awaken the sun to rise.
I am from brisk bright mornings and gloomy chilly nights.
I am from a school whose principal takes her time to listen attentively to every student’s issue and solves it properly.
I am from a tulip that blooms in spring and leaves that descend their way down the floor.
I AM FROM!!!........

If I Turned Into An Animal

If I turned into an animal for a day I’d probably be a horse. I’d be that animal because it has no limit to stop being free and run in the open fields.
If I were a horse I would place a child on top of my back and take her to a place where she was never taken on high tops of grassy mountains. I would stand on the highest peak and stare at the whole country and imagine that I was ruling it. We would cross forests, rivers, and wide open fields. If I was that animal I would think that. If I was that animal I would think that some people would neglect me as if I didn’t exist. All they would do is put me in a barn with ought food, but the animals will treat me well.
At the end I would lay down and watch the stars disappear through the hollow clouds.

Aaaaaaawww! I’m going to die. Giants are attacking me with long sharp things that kill. Noooo! Help, my time has come. They are starting to take off my clothes. They put me on a mattress and they are starting to take off my under pants. I don’t want to disappear like my friends. I’m too young to die. I feel so cold. Timber; there goes my skin my inner layer is the only thing I have left. Don’t take it away from me. There's that machine again- Ok please remember me! Good bye. Why are the giants crying? I should be crying! Not you! I hate you! Are those my mom’s pieces in that hot burning pot? They are turning on the fire! Nooo! Don’t cook my mom! Cook me but not her. I love her. Please leave us alone. We are like you. Ouch, I’m on fire. At least, I’m dying with my mom. Just because giants think that we don’t talk it doesn’t mean that we should die. Judge people the way you want to be treated. It’s not fair! In my family they taught me to treat people the way you want to be treated.
In heaven…… I learned that life has curves and edges and we have to face it no matter what!

In Gieh I hear the bees
buzzing and roaming above my head
In Gieh, I hear the birds chirping
like the sound of music
In Gieh, I see the plants
blooming and blossoming
In Gieh, I hear the dogs barking
and sprinting around me
In Gieh, I rest restless on the grass
knowing I'm safe
