Aaliyah's Adventures

     If I were to make a children's TV show, I would make a show called Aaliyah's Adventures. This show would explore different adventures with Aaliyah, the protagonist, and her friends. Aaliyah and her friends would face conflicts through every adventure, ranging from simple conflicts with basic lessons to complex conflicts with deeper meanings. These adventures would take place in the basic settings of every child's life, home, school, and the occasional movie theater or playground. A unique aspect that would make the show different from other shows would be to have the episodes filmed from one of Aaliyah's friend's perspective, making the viewer feel like one of Aaliyah's friends.
     I feel like it is important to note some of the lessons that would be conveyed in the show. Some lessons would be as simple as be kind to all and sharing is good. However, some more complex lessons would be introduced to show the children how to deal with those situations. For example, one of the children's parents may be getting a divorce, and Aaliyah would help make them feel better, or maybe a child is struggling with their identity or an illness that cannot be treated with medicine. I feel this would be important because the children of today do not understand the people who struggle with these things.
     I would also like to note that this would be a live action TV show.
     Aaliyah's Adventures would be the kid's show I would make if I were given the opportunity. This show would explore deeper conflicts and teach important lessons. Thank you.

P.S. I loved "Mr. Roger's Neighborhood" when I was kid. It was my favorite TV show! I sang along to the theme song when I played it.  

When I looked up and saw Cupid with his bow, I knew we were in trouble.

It was Valentine's Day, the day of love, and I was with a group of friends, hanging out in our local park. I noticed something something glimmer in the corner of my eye and the sound of wings fluttering was heard from behind me. Out of curiosity, I looked back, expecting to just see a bird. However, I was greeted with none other than Cupid. Realization dawned on me as I caught sight of the bow. "SCATTER!" I yelled, knowing that if we stuck close together, we would end up falling in love with each other. A few confused glances were exchanged before my friends started running too, but I was already gone. I looked back to see a few of my friends holding hands and hugging. I swear I could see tiny hearts circling their heads. At this point, I didn't care anymore. I was just concerned with running away as fast as I possibly could. I did not want to end up like my other friends because I was a single pringle, and I was staying that way. As I reached the exit of the park, I saw my friend, Alex, nearing the same exit. For a small fraction of a second, I was happy to see that one of my friends survived this encounter, but then I realized Alex was running straight towards me, with Cupid not far behind. Within a split second, Cupid shot an arrow and hit Alex, forcing him to fall in love with something. I figured it was me, since it appeared Alex was looking straight at me, but he just walked right past me. I turned to see him hugging a tree. I started laughing so hard, I fell to the ground! When I was finally able to recover my breath, it appeared that Cupid was gone, and all of my friends were engaged in a relationship. With a shrug, I left the park, happy I was single for yet another day.
