Maria Salomea

 




Maria Salomea Sklodowska (or Marie Curie) was born on November 7, 1867. She was born in Warsaw, Poland and died on July 4, 1934.

 

Curie’s parents were teachers who valued education. But women in Poland could not get university degrees. So, Maria and her sister, Bronislawa, saved enough money to study physics, chemistry, and mathematics in France. In 1891 Maria entered the Sorbonne, a university in Paris, then she began calling herself Marie.

 

Some of Curie’s achievements were the Davy Medal, the Matteucci Medal,  the Albert Medal, the Willard Gibbs Award , and the Cameron Prize.

 

Curie’s main achievements were two Nobel Prize The 1903 Nobel Prize in Physics for the discovery of radioactivity, and the 1911 Nobel Prize for Chemistry for the isolation of pure radium. Also she was the first woman to win a Nobel prize in two different fields. Curie did not realise that working with radioactive material could make her very sick so she died of leukemia which is some sort of cancer on July 4, 1934.

The War

I fight but I am not human, I shoot stuff, but I don't fly. What am I?? A Tank OF COURSE! Today I am wearing out, I can't stand another day of fighting! They made me shoot exactly  1,835,762,283 caliber shells per minute. I don't know what they did with me next because I  "crashed out". When I woke up everyone was in deep battle, I asked my friend AVNH-17647 what was  going on: "well" he said "the humans need some aah.... backup, so we are working with extra power things connected to us..." He showed me his fuel filling tank which was given  to all the tanks in battle. I watched as a fighter from our team (UK) charged at an enemy and shot him. I sarcastically  muttered "go enemy cheesebrains!!!" soon I found my position and again I started to  deplete Our warriors were doing good they slashed, hacked, hit, and shot at the enemy. 7 YEARS LATER... I fought like I had never fought before and did not notice a tank trap I fell ...

How did the stadium get on Fire?

One day view watching our favourite TV program, a news reporter interrupted it. The news reporter said at the final There was a fire disruption. Someone had left a matchstick on without turning it off. Just throwing it away. The news reporter had said. That the police have searched the whole stadium after the fire Brigade had Smothered the flames, but it was all empty, the thief left no clue. Tomorrow again THE SAME REPORTER interrupted our favourite TV program!!!! He was telling us they would be charges, signs of security at the stadium. But we did not believe anything, so we decided to go to stadium tomorrow. Today We went to stadium. Everything was normal. There were no police cars, no fire brigades. We were stumped. The stadium was open, so we went inside. Nothing was there. Not even a soul was there. We asked the receptionist if we can have a look around and he said yes. So, we looked everywhere. It seems like no one had come in. But by the time we went out, many people have come ...

How do I get out???

How do I get out??? Once I did a very horrible crime: breaking into the WHITE HOUSE. I know I know it is a silly thing to do. But what made me writing was what my sentence was: life imprisonment.   Once the guards/police found me wrestling with a dead bolted door (probably trump’s office) they made me faint somehow and when I woke up, I was THERE. You might be wondering where “there” is well let me tell you: A MAZE.     Not the type of one like that cute little tunnel playset uncle Bob sent you: a real maze!! Dead ends, ways, traps… all that can make you go crazy. It looked like I had been dropped by a helicopter on jagged stone headfirst because my head throbbed. I tried to climb the stone aaaaaaaand… I slipped… ON MY DARN HEAD!!!!   Owchies! And immediately I fainted.   When I regained consciousness, it was morning, and a whole watermelon had crashed on to: you already know… MY BIG HEAD! Welp, I guess that’s my brekkie. Today I thought I’d do ...
