I was a prefect in my school.

 

I studeid at Good Sherpherd Convent, Panadura. In my school life I have got many expereinces to my life. Among them prefectship is one of my favorite. I had prefectship in 2017- 2018. I got this because I was doing well in school work. There were 32 students in our batch with head prefect, deputy head prefect, games captain and deputy games captain. 

In my prefectship life I think that I did a good service to my school. And it is a good expereince that made memories of my school path. We made an unforgettable sportsmeet in 2017. We organized Teachers' day and children' s day and the Christmas carols day. Also we helped to the Art Day which was held in 2018 and organized English Day in 2018. Like these we done many things. There are lot of stories behind this prefectship. My parents and friends helped me to do my studies well. I love those days that I spend with my friends, teachers and miss them a lot.

I am so proud to say that I am a shepherdian. I love my school forever.

One of my favorite pictures in 2021.

 

    I captured these photos when I went to Dehiwala Zoo with my second elder brother, his wife and his children.  

     The parrot is the closest bird that we can find in the birds world. I met this cutest, little character in their bird aviary. Firstly I scared to him. Then my brother' s wife help me to take him to my hand. Suddenely the parrot came to my shoulder and try to eat my button in my frock. In the meantime my brother captured these photos. After a while he flew away and I had to reluctantly leave him. I never forget this photo and I love this very much. And I wish to meet  him again.

The talents

    Some people are multy talented.😍😍 Some people only have one talent. But they improve their talent and show the best performance to the world and become a popular star.😍💫 But in my opinion we want some luck. Everyone must have a goal in their lives. Without a goal we can' t reach to our dreams. So firstly, we have to make plan. then work hard. Then our dream surely come true. 💪💓💓

 

Bill Gates

    

        If you want to be star you have to face the challenges. Some people haven' t enough money to reach their goals. But according to their life story we can get to know about their how they are became famous poeple or rich. By the wealth they earned by their own labor.  For an example Bill Gates, Jim Morrison, Halle Berry...etc. These people who have overcome adversity. 

                

       Certin people is coming through accepting challenges. For an example Walt Disney, Charlie Chaplin, and Shahrukh Khan. People who have won the hearts of the world. 

    Don' t think about your falls, that how people blame you or critizes you. Turn those into turning points. With a U- turn and you can take a new path. If you feel tired, remember these people. You can not reap without hard work.

Beruwala beach pollution.

 

  Beruwala is a coastal area in the western province, about 55 kilometers to the South of Colombo. It is very popular for its fishing and hotel industries. The majority of the villagers are Muslims and their famous mosque ‘Kechchimale’ is located on Beruwala beach. There is a children’s beach park too. Beruwala harbor and the light house are two important locations attached to Beruwala beach and sea. There are number of famous tourist hotels in Beruwala. Beach is also used for fishing, boat anchorages and fish markets. So naturally, Beruwala beach plays an important role for the success and smooth running of the above mentioned activities and to maintain the locations. Thus the beach environment should be kept clean and beautiful.

    

 However, it is very sad to note that Beruwala beach is heavily polluted at present. Sometimes it stinks. Its attraction is lost though it is frequently visited by tourists. Not only this, there are some other losses due to this pollution.

    Immediate action should be taken to remedy the situation. As far as I feel, the best solution to the problem of coastal pollution is to organize programs to convince the people regarding their duty and responsibility to keep this beach beautiful and clean. 

    Man must be the cause of the pollution of the ocean, and man must be the solution to this problem. The ocean, benefits us in many ways more than we can imagine, so we have to do our essential part in keeping our ocean clean. There are some things we can do to be part of the solution and make a difference. 

For an examples,

1. Refuse the use of single use plastics as much as possible.

2. We can write to relevant authorities to get their attention on this issue.

3. Thirdly notice boards should be fixed here and there displaying the value of the beach and the importance of protecting its cleanliness without polluting.

By doing the above, we will be able to keep the beach clean as well as attract tourists.

    During that era the island was referred to as Serendib, and was a popular trading hub, the Maritime Provinces being the venues for vibrant trade. 

    The mosque is believed to have been built over a thousand years ago. In fact, it is believed that the first Muslims from Arabia settled in Beruwela and built the Ketchimala Mosque in 1024 AD. This mosque belongs to the ancient Arabic architecture. It grows tall and white on a rock surrounded by coconut trees. The church is completely white except for the green doors.
