Have you ever been to the San Diego Zoo? If not, here are some of the cool things I saw on my recent trip.

The first thing I suggest is to ride the double-decker tour bus. By riding the bus you can see many of the animals, so you know which ones you want to go and spend more time with.

I have been learning Japanese for 459 days and counting. This is my story on learning a new language.

I never really considered learning a new language. I always thought, “Why bother with the hassle when I already know one language. Why would I need to learn an entirely new one?”

Every year, thousands of students—elementary, middle and high school—compete in science fairs around the world. Some of the most brilliant minds congregate in one place, with projects addressing significant problems. Some of these young minds are already starting to direct attention to serious problems worldwide.

Did you know recycling saves energy and helps create new products? Earth Day is a special time to care for our planet by raising awareness and taking action!

People celebrate by joining clean-ups, planting trees and flowers, and supporting environmental charities. You can help too! Instead of throwing things away, find creative ways to reuse them. Turn an old water bottle into a cup holder by cutting off the top and decorating it. Composting food scraps is another great way to recycle—just bury a wire trash basket in the ground, add scraps, and watch your garden grow!

Earth Day is on April 22, and there are many ways to help our planet.
