Competitiongitis by Huda K.
5th grade student Huda K. is a very creative writer and we'd like to share one of her pieces!
Competitiongitis Oh nooo! The worst sickness in the world is flourishing in schools! This sickness only happens in children who go to school so adults are immune to it. A young scientist named Huda Khan and her two assistants Amber R. and Halah B. discovered this sickness and named it "Competetiongitis". Huda is 100% sure that every child will get it. There is no vaccine and no cure for this sickness. The sickness comes from studying too much or from doing too many tests and wanting to get a 100% on every single one.
There are only few symptoms of this sickness and they are:
1. The child wants to compete really badly in studies and activities
2. The child wants to get first prize in every activity
3. The child has study fever and is losing hair or pulling it out.
Huda and her two assistants are trying to find the germ that causes the sickness and try to slow it down or even kill it. The only thing the parents can do is just to watch and wait. If the child stays up very late at night studying in his or her room, then the parents must take them to the hospital. Once in the hospital, Huda will come and try to see what subject the child wants to compete in. She wants to see if there is a certain subject that all students want to compete in to look at the pattern of how the sickness starts. Once the students are at the hospital Huda will advise the students to take it easy. No pressure! When Huda says no pressure she means that the teachers should give less homework and make tests easier. The sickness seems to have slowed down these days, but be on the lookout for an epidemic.
