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 pilot who saved the Qantas A380 – Captain Richard De Crespigny Interviewed by Eve Cogan
I interviewed Captain Richard De Crespigny, the pilot who saved the Qantas A380 that had an engine failure when it took off from Singapore.

You have to be in it, to win it! The Lionel Bowen Young Writers Awards
In June of this year, I posted a blog about the poem I wrote and entered into the Lionel Bowen Young Writers Awards. The poem was called “In The Ocean’s Arms”.

Yesterday I was interviewed by Peter Dick and Mary Collier on Brisbane Radio 4BC
This time was different to my last interview. This time there was no warm up, they rang my house and said “Is this this the residence of Eve Cogan” No one has ever said that, so my mum said “What?” I came out of the shower and into the phone interview for Breakfast with Peter…

The Dot – Peter H Reynolds helping others to gain self confidence

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…
My Tunguska Documentary by 10 year old Eve Cogan
Enjoy my Tunguska video and tell me how it could be improved. For my school project, I had to choose a natural disaster and find an interesting way to present it. I wanted to select an event that no one else in my class would choose, so I went through a list on Wikipedia with…
Poem: In The Ocean’s 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.…
