author note:
this is my third piece about me in elementary school. i was in the period of rebeliousness.
i easily got angry at my mom because of a tiny thing.
As every child has the period of rebelliousness, I was not an exception.
It came in elementary school.
In my first period of rebelliousness, I easily lost my temper.
Now, I can say that I, in elementary school, did not make sense.
I will never forget those silly days.
My dad owns a small company and my mom also works there.
Dad's company is next to my grandparents' house and my house is next to my grandfather's house.
So there are dad's company, grandparents' house, and my house in a row.
Because both my parents work at dad's company, I took the house key to school.
Always I went back home, opened its door with the key, and went for playing with my friends.
I was a so hasty boy, so I forgot to take my house key to school.
But it was okay because my mom was at her office and always I could asked her for the house key.
Even if mom was not at her office, I could stay at my grandparents' house.
But I needed the house key when I promised my friends to play after school.
This is a story, which happened many times in elementary school, when I did not take my house key to school.
Probably that was before summer.
As usual, I slept over.
Mom woke me up once, twice, three times...
I woke up at 7:30.
I had to go in 15 minutes.
I swallowed breakfast, changed my clothes, and
So I couldnt get my house key and had to stay at my grandmother's house which is next to my house.
When I couldnt get my house key, had to stay at my grandmother's house, and couldnt play with my friends, I got really angry.
I always got mad at my mom who came back from her work and was tired.
I said to my mom, "Why were not you at office!? I couldnt play with my friends because of you!"
When I think back, I always feel sorry for her and also I feel that it is so hard to raise a child because of the period of rebelliousness.

masaaki′s first piece
author note:
this is my first piece. i wrote about gay people. i have many gay friends. through talking with them, i realized they are having troubles intheir life. so i wrote about one of their troubles：marriage right.
Recently, a lot of gay people are open, so almost all people know that there are gay people. But some people or society still has prejudice to gays. In most cases, gays are not treated equally. Even laws, which should be fair to all people and should give all people equal rights, do not treat gays as it does to hetero-sexual people. For example, in most countries, there do not exist gay marriage. But I really think all people should have the right to marry regardless of who they are.
Firstly, I think gay marriage will produce more money and will be good for economy. For example, in most countries, people need pay money to get married. The money goes to the local government or the country. If there is a law which allows gay people get married, the number of marriage in a year definitely will increase in a huge amount. And if the number increases, it means that the local government or the country makes a huge benefit. And it will give people benefit in a way too. Gay marriage has a positive effect on economy side.
Secondly, apparently gay marriage somewhat decreases the number of divorcing rate. Some people say that divorce rate does not decline if there is gay marriage. In Massachusetts state, the first state in the U.S. which allowed gay marriage, has the lowest divorce rate in 2008 in the U.S. and the divorce rate in Massachusetts continues to decline from 2004 when gay marriage was allowed. So probably allowing gay couples marry to their boyfriend or girlfriend may strengthen institution of marriage. When people can marry to someone they really love, maybe the marriage itself might be able to be stronger relationship. Gay marriage is good from social perspective.
Thirdly, I think gay marriage should be allowed because I feel it is good for their children. There is many adopt children in the world. But those children can have parents if gay marriage is allowed. The number of adopt children will decrease. Also, I think children of gay parents are more tolerant than the children of hetero-sexual parents. There still exists prejudice on gay people. But I think being children of gay people who are the target of “prejudice” makes them more tolerant because their parents are “oppressed”. I think the children can be better at understanding emotions.
Because gay marriage is good for economy, society, and children, I think gay marriage should be allowed. Gay people are the same as hetero-sexual people. So we all have the right to get married. It is strange that there is a border between people. Even if some people love the same sex people, every single human being should be treated equally. Therefore, gay people should have the marriage right as hetero-sexual people have.

Publishing - Just send me a Google Doc or other link!
Advice for Publishing:
1. Make sure you've had at least one other classmate give you feedback for revision and editing.
2. Send me a Google Doc link, and add me as an Editor. Other types of links are fine too. For example, if you want to add your voice or BGM, you can create a YouTube video.
3. Think about colors and how it will look as a published piece (font colors, size, background colors, images)
4. Send me an Author's Note that explains your theme and genre and your feelings about this piece. You can include things about what you tried to emphasize and what points you want to still improve in the piece, too. Inviting comments and reaction is a good thing to do too.
5. Feel free to keep updating or modifying your piece on Google Docs any time you like!
