This is my second time entering a poem the competition and after my unexpected win in year 5, I doubt I'll be second time lucky! Despite this, I've again tried my best to create a great poem. This years rules were that
- [Poem: In The Ocean’s Arms](https://evecogan.com/poem-in-the-oceans-arms/) - UPDATE: I won it! -- I decided to enter the ‘Young Writers Competition’ this year. This is my first time entering, so I don’t expect to win, but I’ve really tried my best to create a great poem. The only rules were that I had to involve the words ‘treasure’ or ‘reading’ in my work.
- [Year 7: My First Term at St Vincent’s College ](https://evecogan.com/first-term-st-vincents-college/) - I have just finished my first term of high school at St Vincent’s College, Potts Point, Sydney. It is known as SVC or Vinnies. St Vincent's College is definitely a place that you feel the proud traditions and rich history. I want to tell you how my first term has been and later you can compare with a letter
- [Happy Birthday David Warren](https://evecogan.com/happy-birthday-david-warren/) - Yesterday was Dr David Warren's birthday. He was born on the 20 March 1925, so he would have been 89 if he was alive today. He would be very concerned about the still unresolved Malaysia Airlines MH370 as it enters its third week without answers. On the other hand I think he would be very
- [Poem: From Despair…](https://evecogan.com/poem-from-despair/) - I have entered my second poem contest called 'Sydney Youth Writing Competition'. There is only one primary rule. You need to include one of these words: Light, Fly or Creek. Last year I entered a poem called 'In the Ocean's arms' and although it was only my first writing competition, I won my age group which
- [Photography: A reflection on my Favourite Cameras](https://evecogan.com/photography-my-favourite-cameras/) - While producing my first photography album “Droplets of Life” I have learnt more than I expected about cameras and what they can achieve. Your best photos don’t always come from the most expensive cameras. I used five cameras and it became somewhat confusing trying to collect all the photos. I have looked back over the
- [Send a tweet to your local Member of Parliament](https://evecogan.com/send-a-tweet-to-your-local-member-of-parliament/) - For my Year 6 homework I was asked to write a letter to my local member of parliament, about an issue that I care about. I started writing a letter to my local member who is Peter Garrett AM MP. I told my mum that I had found out that Mr Garrett is also the
- [Gun Control in Australia](https://evecogan.com/gun-control-in-australia/) - In our beach side suburb Coogee, a hot topic at our local RSL club is whether we should relax our footwear policies to allow the commonly worn ‘thongs’. That is a long way from gun control, which is the hot topic right now in America. As a result of the latest massacre in Newtown Connecticut,
- [NIDA – Completing a Production](https://evecogan.com/nida-completing-a-production/) - During my life I have always loved acting and public speaking. NIDA (National Institute of Dramatic Arts) has really helped me improve these skills. Speaking in public is never easy, but becomes easier with practice. My auntie was a great actor, being on 'A Country Practice' for many years. She inspired me to love acting.
- [Update: I received a call from the Managing Director of Canberra Airport](https://evecogan.com/update-i-received-a-call-from-the-managing-director-of-canberra-airport/) - I have had so many people ask me for an update. Rather than answer all my emails one by one, I will tell you all at once. I received the call I have been waiting for. It was from Stephen Byron, the Managing Director of Canberra Airport and while I didn't get a "yes" yet, it is
- [10 Things About Me](https://evecogan.com/10-things-about-me/) - I am back at school and it is very exciting because we have a brand new classroom and two very dedicated teachers. At school we were asked to write down "10 things about yourself". I hope you like it. 1. I know the power of a smile. One beaming smile from a stranger can improve
- [The Dot – Peter H Reynolds helping others to gain self confidence](https://evecogan.com/the-dot-peter-h-reynolds-helping-others-to-gain-self-confidence/) - I generally like reading substantial novels like Harry Potter or Hunger Games. I also like a quick short story too, but there is another way to enjoy a story and that is by watching a short story converted to video. I really enjoyed “The Dot” video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t5mGeR4AQdM ) by Peter H Reynolds, who not only
