         <description><![CDATA[I have wanted an iPad ever since it came out. The new gadget from Apple is a cross between an iPhone and a laptop. It's a kind of computer, a tablet. But what most people don't know is that there are many handheld tablets out there besides the iPad.

Many of them are cheaper, too. I asked for a tablet similar to the iPad for my birthday which was earlier this month. It uses Google's operating system, Android, which is mainly used for advanced mobile phones.

The gadget itself is about 8 inches...]]></description>

Our government is set up into three sections: there are the legislative, executive, and judicial branches. Not long ago, I went on a field trip with my school to explore the legislative branch and judicial branch. We went to the Leon County Courthouse, the Florida Capitol, and the Florida Supreme Court.
Everyone first went to the courthouse. We participated in a mock-trial where each student acted as an attorney, witness, defendant, juror, or what I was, the bailiff. After the attorneys...]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[&#160;
The first full week of April was also the first week back to school for many students. For me, it was actually 5 days of touring Washington, D.C. I was with about 70 other people from Swift Creek Middle School on a huge field trip to our nation’s capital.
The group left early Monday morning and went for a 16-hour trip up to Dale City, Virginia, where our hotel was. Unfortunately for my bus, Bus 2, the driver accidentally ran over a man when we were only a few minutes from the hotel. Even...]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[&#160;
Earlier this month I went on a hike with my family through the Lafayette Heritage Trails.
I’m not the kind of person that enjoys hiking a lot, but I went anyway to give me something to do during my spring break.
What I found on these paths were both pleasant and unpleasant at the same time. At one point, between Lakes Lafayette and Piney-Z, there was a huge mob of bugs. I didn’t know what kind of insect they were or why they were there; all I knew was that they were really annoying. We...]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[&#160;
I wonder what celebrities would do if they were President of the U. S.
Let's take Dr. Seuss for example. He would probably rewrite the Constitution but with poetic phrases and interesting creatures, such as "We the people, and our fellow meeple, in order to form a more perfect runion…" Any new buildings in Washington, D.C. would be in a weird kind of architecture that makes no sense at all.
Bill Gates would make sure that a Microsoft computer would be available in every household for a...]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[&#160;
Not long ago, my family decided to go see the Kinsey Collection, an exhibit at the Mary Brogan Museum. It's a compilation of paintings, sculptures, documents, and letters relating to African-American history. It was created by Bernard and Shirley Kinsey.
The Kinseys attended Florida A &amp; M University back in the 1960s and faced several racial discrimination problems. Throughout the years, they started collecting many items such as paintings and sculptures by black artists, and...]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[&#160;
In the last issue of the Chronicle, I wrote about how I got a unicycle and how it is very hard to ride. I'm happy to say that I can now ride it with ease and it is very fun.
I thought it would take a lot longer to learn how to ride it. As I said last time, at first I assumed it would be really easy for me, but the videos I saw on the Internet made it sound like it would take months to master. Well, here I am, Day 26, and I am able to ride fairly long distances without stopping.
The...]]></description>

         <link>http://www.akidscolumn.com/news/unicycle-is-challenging/</link>
         <description><![CDATA[&#160;
Recently, I got a unicycle. It sounds kind of crazy, but I always have secretly wanted one. I ordered one of the one-wheel-bicycles from the Internet, and when it finally arrived, I was delighted. After about half an hour of "easy" assembling, the bike was ready for riding.
The only thing is, I didn't realize how much effort I'd have to use to learn how to ride.
Unicycles are way different from bicycles. There's only one wheel, which makes it hard to balance, and there aren't any...]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[&#160;
This past Christmas I was hoping to get Microsoft Office 2007 for my computer. I've used it on my parents' computer, but the disc they used to install it on isn't available to install on my computer. Unfortunately, a brand new disc wasn't under my tree this Christmas, but as I found out later, that was actually a good thing.
I realized that I would have to save up my money if I wanted Microsoft 2007, and I also knew that by the time I get the money, the next version might already be...]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[&#160;
In all my years of school, I have noticed that teachers use certain things to help boost morale in students. They use clever ways that really work and make kids really enjoy the teacher.
&#160;
The most common thing that I see teachers doing is giving kids a study guide or review that has all the content that’s going to be on an upcoming test. Why is this such an effective way of getting those students on their side? Well, think about it. If you walk into a classroom, knowing you have a...]]></description>
