Sasha Olsen,a fourth-grader at Pine Crest School in Fort Lauderdale,is working on releasing a book this summer to illustrate how the state of the ocean affects children.
The 10-year-old went on a trip last summer with her family to Vietnam and Japan.She was horrified at the ocean's pollution levels and dying sea animals.Back home,she grew even more disturbed after learning about the ocean conditions in South Florida.She sought help from her cousin Narmina Aliyev.Together,they started a nonprofit group,I want my ocean back,in October.
Originally,the group started small,with friends coming together on the weekends to clean the beaches in Bal Harbour.Recently,however,it has hosted events to raise funds for beach cleanups and donate to conservation groups.The nonprofit group is also trying to broaden its base by tapping into the social media.
Sasha has started a channel where she posts videos from events and has begun a web series called Table Talks.In it,she interviews people from different professions about the ocean.After the interview she and her guest will create a painting,signed by the guest,which will be auctioned (拍賣) off to raise money to donate to conservation-based organizations.
Jencarlos Canela,a popular Cuban American singer and telenovela star,was one of I want my oceanback's first followers and Sasha's first guest.Canela,who has 3.4 million followers on Instagram,posted about the experience."Sasha,you can count on me from now on for anything and congratulations on the work you're doing to keep our ocean clean.You are so special and very talented!" he wrote.
Sasha and Aliyev hope to extend their work to neighboring cities such as Hollywood and Miami Beach."We really want to make ourselves visible and accessible to all," said Aliyev,the nonprofit group's vice president.

2.I remember my math teacher Mr.Young very well.He stood out because the kids made fun of him.He was missing one of his fingers,and always pointed at students with his middle finger.
I was not very good at English and math.No matter how hard I tried,I just could not figure out why I did not understand what all the other kids found so easy to learn.
One day,I was told that if I got one more E on my report card,I would be taken to the "big prison for kids".
I tried really hard for weeks.I just couldn't understand how to make different parts of members into whole things.
The day before report cards were to come out,I knew that Mr.Young would give me an E,just like he always did.
I went to Mr.Young and told him that the orphanage (孤兒院) was going to send me to the big prison if I got another E on my report card.He told me there was nothing he could do;it would be unfair to the other kids if he gave me a better grade than I had actually earned.
I smiled at him and said, "Mr.Young,do you know how the kids make fun of you because you're missing your finger?" He looked at me,moved his mouth to one side and said nothing.
"They shouldn't do that to you because you can't help not having a finger,Mr.Young.Just like I can't help not being able to learn numbers and stuff like that." I said.
The next day,when I got my report card,I tucked it into one of my books.While on the school bus,I opened it:Geography,B+;Mechanical Drawing,C-;English,D-;History,C-;Gym,B+;Art,C;Math,D-.
That math grade was the most favorite one I ever received.Because I knew that someone in the world finally understood what it was like for me to be missing a finger inside my head.
