Favorite Character: Leo from The Little Einsteins
When I was younger, I loved to watch the show The Little Einsteins with my best friend. My favorite character was Leo, because he was the leader. He had fiery red hair, glistening green eyes, and big, green, round frame eyeglasses. He was the pilot of Rocket, who was the Einstein's friend and form of transportation. Rocket could change into any form of transportation that they needed. Leo had three other best friends to ride on Rocket with him. They were Annie, Quincy, and June. They all had different hobbies such as music and dance.
I felt that I connected the most with Leo throughout the series. He taught me the importance of friendship, and to follow my dreams. Watching the show sparked
my interest in travelling because I remember always talking about going to all of the places that Leo took his friends. Leo taught me about art and music every episode and I loved to see all of the paintings and hear the new music that was in the beginning. Leo knew how to make everyone feel included by accepting personality traits and hobbies. I feel like acceptance is a very important life lesson. While watching The Little Einsteins, I learned to enjoy myself while learning. This show intrested children so they’d listen and learn how to do everyday tasks by having characters with a variety of different personalities so they’d have someone to connect to. I felt that the most important thing I learned was how to lead because that is a big part of my life now. I love being a leader and person that people look up to just as Leo was to his friends.

It was late I thought. Almost midnight yet I was still unable to sleep. I stared thoughtlessly at the moving shadows mumbling to myself, "it was just a story" but in my heart I knew it wasn't, it was more than a story, much, much more. Then, a crow appeared in the middle of my room. The crow stared at me with such intensity that I fell backwards into the safety of my pillow. I stared at the crow in shock as it disappeared into my closet and that's when I heard it, a long piercing whine that was like a nail to a chalkboard. I prayed that it would go away, I prayed with all my heart but it stayed there continuing its long whine. It was then when I caught a glimpse of it. I saw two glowing bloodshot eyes stare at me. I let out a scream born from terror and almost immediately my dad came bursting into my room. He stared at me with confusion but all I could do was point a shaking finger at my closet door. Cautiously, my father marched into the closet door only to find nothing inside. Then, without warning, the closet door slammed shut along with my father still inside.
