Firstly, the current editors of the Image, (Victoria Laney, Nao

Gibson, and Rameez Dawood) have officially handed the Image over

Disha Okhai (chief editor), Jhanvi Ramaiya (creative editor) and Maia

Graaf (layout manager).

We all wait eagerly for the last day of the term, when we bid

friends goodbye, and get ready to enjoy those few peaceful days without o

uniform, books and teachers (however much we love both of them!) We

all worked extremely hard for these two months, and we deserve the bre

and the sleep!). As a great beginning to the December holidays, our tea

has worked hard to get together a special Christmas issue together, so enj

the December break with a copy of The Image! Heres wishing you al

great holiday, Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year from t

entire team of The Image. Happy Holidaying!

Dear Agony Aunt,

Dear To go,All those pictures on facebook of him around Dar? Yup, sounds legit! Goahead!

Except, no, you really dont want to. There are so many problems with yoproblem I dont even know where to start. Granted, he lives in Dar and hnot lying about his face, but heed the famous idiom: Dont judge a book its cover,$$and try to look under the surface a little. How old does this bosay he is, are you sure hes that old? Do you look utterly gorgeous in yourprofile picture (and chances are that you do!)? Maybe hes just after yourpretty face! I think the only way you could get into that situation and nothave it be a rapists dream would be by having a bodyguard escort and hav

your parents know exactly where youre going and possibly have a ninjaSWAT team lurking a good, I dont know, five meters away? Id advise yoreally didnt go, and by the way, if youre going to sneak out, go with yourfriends, I promise itll be more fun that way!Agony Aunt.

Are you having a Dilema, Misadventure, Misfortune and/or a real life Nightmar

Are you in Agony?

Send Agony Aunt a Letter!

[email protected]

Dear Agony Aunt,recently met this boy on Facebook, headded me about a month

ago. I accepted, he was pretty cute, and plus, hes also from Dar, sothought I might have seen him around! I was wrong about that,but we got talking a couple weeks ago, and it turns out we livereally close to each other! He asked me to go over and hang outwith him, and I told him Id consider it. Im pretty sure hes not apedophile, because he does have all these pictures of himselfaround Dar, he must be who he says he is, right? However, I dontwant to be bashful and walk straight into a rapists dream bygoing over without thinking about it. Ill have to sneak out too,which Im pretty excited about, because its really not somethingve ever done before!

To go, or not to go?

When Times Get Tough

-Serena Kassam 11

hen the wind's blowing too strong,nd you feel hopeless like you can't go on,rab my hand, I'll walk you through,l always be right there, waiting for you.

hen thunder strikes,nd it feels like you're walking a millionkes,ow down and breathe, take a break and

mile,l stay with you for more than just a while.

it rains on your parade,

And all your memories start to fade,I'll be standing there, scrapbook in handReminding you of all the joyous momenwe had.

When your brick wall comes crashingdown,

You put up a fake smile when inside thea deep frown,Share your sorrow with me,Let loose of your problems, let them runfree.

And when the day comes,You can't go on, you just want to run,Release yourself of that aching pain,

Baby, I'm going with you into the rain.

rade 6 ESP Trip! ! ! ! ! ! ! -Tristan Hodgs Ah, yes, the 6th grade ESP trip -

anzibar. Hearing that reminds you of sunairs, beaches and relaxing, well, better getat stuff out of your head. This is my story:

ay 100! ! Oh gosh, I had to get up just tot ready.45" " Ready, but remember that I cannly be at school by 13:45.$

:40" Im at school, then on the bus.:46" Everyone on the bus annoyed

cause Im singing.:47! My partner blocks his ears!:07! Arrive at the ferry and get on.

:00! Bored, Bored, Bored, Bored.:30! Finally arrive at Zanzibar.urrah!!:32! Get on the buses.:47! Arrive at the hotel.:00! Dinner.:00! To our rooms.:00! Lights out!

his was pretty much our schedule for all ofe six days we were there. My mostemorable day will be Fumba day!

Wow!! Thats all I can say about Fumba day.

t first, I thought the water was a bit chillyut as I looked down onto the reef, my eyesopped out in amazement. (not literally, thatould be weird!!) There were fish as smallnd dull as grey crayons and some as big asotballs! We saw a turtle as he swam away

nd humpback dolphins. Fumba day willrely be my best memory of our ESP inanzibar.

ne might not realize this the very moment that

u're saddled with the terrifying words, "we'ret going anywhere this Christmas" by yourrents, but be assured, it's not the end of the

orld. Sure it might feel like it, but really,nging out in Dar isn't all that bad!$

You can go to the beach all break, and workyour tanning/frying! editor note: use

nscreen, you'll still tan in this heat, and you'lly protected from cancer causing UV rays!

You can go swimming on Christmas day, andt to show off about it while everyone else isezing their butts off in the snow in therthern hemisphere.

There's great Christmas and New Yearsrties to look forward to, and you don't have to

worry about whether the snowstorm will

you from getting there!$

4. You can spend time with your familysafari, and remember if your little brobothers you one more time, you can alwthreaten to feed him to the lions!

5. Where else can you laze around in pajamaday, other than in the comfort of your ohome!

6. With so many people gone for christmas, can only hope that the internet speed might lag as much (go download some christmovies)!

7. Great alternatives to snowmen and snangels are sandcastles (sandmen are complicated), and sand-angels!
