About Yourself Essay

Reflection About Myself
During this Semester I have written six essays, and all of them were a little different. All of them
had a different purpose in writing and required a different skill too. There are things that I did both
good and bad in writing all of these essays. The first essay that I had to write for this class was a
Self–Assessment essay, about my writing career and how the four basics have been involved in my
life. This was a more personal essay about myself, while I have also had to write some essays about
a feeling that I had, and also one about a specific topic. There were several different essays, and
ways that I had to write them. The first essay I wrote, the Self–Assessment, was about the four
basics and how they have been in my life and...show more content...
I chose dedication because I knew that it was something that I could write a lot on. This was my
favorite essay to write in the class, mostly because the topic was something that I could write a lot
on. The best part about this essay is the way that it was written, it was very easy to read. Also the
way the opposing views and examples worked well in showing how what I said was good. The
ending could have been a lot better, there was not much of a conclusion to it, and it was weak
compared to how the rest of the essay was. Also, I tended to have some very long paragraphs, and
then some smaller ones too. I need to work better on making sure that all of the paragraphs are
closer in length and how to try and limit writing on one specific topic (paragraph) and learn how to
move onto the next.
After that, there was the Research Essay, and I chose to write on concussion in football. I chose
to write on this topic, because I have always been interested in this. I explained what a concussion
was, and how people get them and what to do when you have one. I also talked about the new
changes or ways that the sport is making to help prevent concussions. I liked how the essay flowed
and it was set up. There were things that I could have done better in the paper, and one

Descriptive Essay About Myself
I find it extremely tough to talk about myself and my personal traits. In order for me to dIscuss
who I am in an accurate manner then I must provide some basic background information on
myself and talk about the Environment I grew up in. This way people can get a better
understanding of why I am the way I am. My Background is so essential In making me myself
because If I had been born under any different circumstances or grew up any differently I would be
a different person than I am today. I was born inAberdeen Scotland but raised in Fort Bend County
Texas. Aberdeen and Fort Bend both have great opportunities but differ in many ways. One way in
which they differ is that Fort Bend is very culturally diverse while in Aberdeen most of...show more

Her family communicates to one another using spanish or sometimes english. I have always
grown up in a family that speaks only english so I find it interesting to go over to other people's
houses and hear them communicating in another language. On top of all of this meeting different
people has also opened my mind to new ideas. For example, in school when we work in group
projects we collaborate and communicate with people who think differently than us then work
together to figure out whose ideas will work the best and how to improve them.
Another factor that plays a part in why I am shaped how I am is my family's economic
circumstances. I have always had access to anything I needed and for that I have extreme
gratitude because I know some people have a lot of difficulty in life. Since I was born into a
family with such good economic circumstances I have been lucky to have lots of opportunities.
One Opportunity I had as a child was participating in taekwondo. I did taekwondo until I reached a
blackbelt which took years of hardwork and dedication. I had to memorize forms, Spar with other
competitors and break boards in order to continue to move up to the next level. Taekwondo also
helped keep me in good shape and fit when I was younger. Another Opportunity I am grateful for is
the skill of playing the piano. At first I was not all that enthusiastic about playing it but my parents
has signed me up and insisted I

Reflective Essay About Myself
Walking into my fifth grade classroom for the millionth time, I searched around the room to see
if there was anyone like me. A girl with chocolate skin. For as long as I can remember, I was the
only one in my grade, ever since I started school. But this did not mean I did not have friends.
Caterina and I were best friends that year. She was from Venezuela, had white olive skin with
long blonde hair, and light eyes. One school day, when we were walking to P.E., she said to me "I
like your hair because it stays in place." A little taken back, I was not sure if this a compliment or
not, but I said thank you anyway. Her comment had stayed with me for the rest of the day. I began
to wonder why my hair grew the way it did and if I could change it. This was, thus the beginning
of my insecurities. Going to school every few months with a different hairstyle would raise a few
questions for my classmates. Different styles,such as, box braids and marley twists, would
change my attitude because I no longer looked the way I felt most of the time, ugly. But because
I knew my look was only temporary, I did my best not to draw attention to myself. As I advanced
grades, I always hoped there would be someone like me. Not necessarily student. After fifth grade, I
figured I might as well conquer eighth grade alone. It would at least be nice to have a teacher to
talk to about when I get angry about each day instead of keeping everything bottled up. A person "...

Essay on Finding Yourself
How can one truly know who they are? It takes years of experience to understand yourself; your
likes, your dislikes, your abilities, and your passions. Sometimes society will agree with these things,
and sometimes it won't. Self–identity is the result of trial and error in terms of resistance to the
cultural norms of one's society, and the lessons learned through such resistance, as demonstrated in
Munro's An Ounce of Cure and Boyle's Greasy Lake.
An Ounce of Cure tells the story of a teenage girl, whom remains unnamed throughout the entire
story, who was brought up in a small town where drinking was frowned upon, thinking that she was
never good enough for her family. She had her heart broken by a boy at school and became depressed
over...show more content...
Alice Munro demonstrates the learning of oneself through the resistance to society via the girl in An
Ounce of Cure. Although she knew it wasn't a good idea, and that her parents and community
wouldn't approve of her drinking if they found out, she resisted that cultural norm and did it anyway.
By drinking too much and getting drunk to the point of being physically sick, she learns that it
was not the best idea. By the social consequences of the rumours spread across her town
afterwards, she suffers loneliness and learns that the boy who started her depression in the first
place was not worth the embarrassment, nor the experience itself. Munro depicts a teenage girl
growing up; learning about herself and coming to terms with who she is. The girl learns that
alcohol (and pills) are not the solution to a broken heart, and that her time was wasted being
miserable over a boy who dumped her.
Greasy Lake depicts the story of a young man, also without a name, who tried to build a reputation
for himself as a "dangerous character" (p. 33), much like many other young men of the era. He did
many things he considered 'bad', such as wearing torn–up leather jackets and sniffing glue. It was
popular for the people of his crowd to take their parents cars to Greasy Lake, a local hangout for
young adults which was in all reality just a dumpy murky pond. One night, the boy and his two

Characteristics Of Myself Essay
I was born fourteen years ago and I have acquired many qualities in those fourteen years. One is I
like to see myself as a very relatable person who many people can talk to. Many of my friends tell
me that I am very relatable and a very honest person who says their honest opinion, which I can
only agree with. Another word I hear a lot from my friends is that I am a chill, also known as
relaxed or easy going. Listening to my friends is another good quality I believe I have. I can
always sense when something isn't right. I believe I am also fairly good at judging people's
character, so I think in some way that saves me from hanging out with bad people and also
knowing which ones are the good ones. Adapting is another thing I am good at because of the
many times I have moved. That also helps me get good at making friends all kinds of places, even
in different countries. I get told a lot that I have a lot of friends and honestly I'm not totally sure
how I have become friends with so many people. But I am not complaining. Most of my friends
also say I am trustworthy and cool. Another thing I get told a lot is that I am hilarious. I mean I
can just say the simplest things and my friends will laugh. All of these qualities are qualities that I
like about myself but I also feel that many of my friends have the same traits. I like to hangout
around people who remind me of myself. Most of my friends are funny and kind. They are all
trustworthy and of course very cool. My friends are

Importance Of Writing About Myself
One would most likely assume that writing about yourself is a whole lot easier than writing about
a particular topic or prompt. However, I haven't found that to be true so far in English 1101. Up to
this point, we have written three essays: the first being the Common App essay, the second being
the Educational History Narrative, and the third being the Ad Analysis. By far, the Ad Analysis
was the easiest paper for me to write because I was given specific guidelines for what needed to be
included into my essay and I didn't have to write a creative story about myself. It is a challenge for
me to write about myself because in past school years, I have hardly ever had to do so. I have
noticed that in school, the majority of my teachers have never stressed the importance of self
knowingness and reflection; all they have done is prepared me and my peers for state testing. I
could write a whole other essay based on this realization, but I won't for this assignment. Along
with the Ad Analysis being the easiest essay for me to write, I also think that it was my best work.
I felt that the assignment was engineered more for my age group and so I was engaged with it a lot
more than I was with the other essays. I also felt a lot more confident while writing it and as a result
I had no problem with meeting the essay's criteria and page requirement. My peer editor also found
very few mistakes within the paper which reassured me that it is the best work that I have done for
the

Reflection About Myself
After some time of reflecting over myself and characterizing my own self, I have came up with a
few characteristics of myself. These characteristics are words I feel can be used to describe
myself. The characteristics I have chosen are trustworthy, optimistic, and independent. I find
myself to be a pretty trustworthy person. I have been a person that people have been able to come
to me with a problem and ask for advice. I can also keep secrets pretty well. An example of
something that can contradict me being a trustful person is when I have to lie to someone to
keep someone's secret. An example of this is when I had to lie to my dad that my mom was out
of town. My parents are divorced and my dad lives about an hour away from Smithville. My mom
had to go out of town for a work trip. Since it was during the week, my mom did not want us to
have to go to my dads because it would be tough to get back and forth to school. We also knew
that my dad would be stubborn and persistent about having us stay at his house. So in conclusion,
my Grandma came and watched us while my mom was out of town and I told my dad that she
would be home. This trait did not really start to form until the beginning of my Freshman year. A
lot of my traits started last year because up until then, well, I as well as my other classmates have
not really been in an environment where the level of maturity is much higher than what we are
accustomed to. I find optimistic a word to describe me well because I am

What I Learned About Myself Essay
This class has taught me a lot about myself in such a brief period of time. I never thought I could
dig as deep as I did, and have a better understanding of who I am as a person just by writing a single
essay. I was not expecting the amount of self–awareness that I gained through this class. I really
enjoyed the hermit crab essays, because they really guided me to find my true feelings. It was hard
for me to get started writing at first and then once I got started, it was almost impossible to stop. I
love the feeling that I am in control of what I am writing and there are no restrictions and that I
can be vulnerable in my writing. This class really helped me show the vulnerable side of who I
am. I was sometimes moved to tears while I was writing because, I realized things about myself
that I never thought to be true before. I would get so excited that I would read it to my boyfriend,
family and friends. This class was in no way easy, but it was definitely worth it for many reasons.
I learned how to become a better writer, I learned about myself as a person, and I constructed
pieces of writing that I didn't know I was capable of. Some assignments became easier as time
went on because I became a stronger writer. However, I think the hardest one for me was having to
write about the room I was in. It didn't interest me because it didn't help me dig deeper into my
feelings or anything of that matter. I also didn't enjoy having to respond to different pieces of
writing, because it

Importance Of Writing About Myself

glimpses of a person. Writing an autobiography allows people to see the version of you that you
want the world to see. The place I grew up and

Characteristics Of Myself Essay
We, as human beings, have many characteristics and traits that we view of our self positively;
however, some traits do change due to our insecurity of other individual judgments which may lead
to the outcome of others viewing us differently. This report will briefly explain the way I see myself
portray to the society and how other majority individuals see the individual I truly am.
The qualities I consider that I do not have for my personality is I am not creative, confident,
compulsive, curious, humorous and selfish. This shows that I am an individual who is selfless or
inquisitive. Although, I am not confident nor am I compulsive or humorous this demonstrates I am
introverted from the society and would like to be hidden in the dark when it comes to presentations
or meeting new strangers. I am not proud of this since I realized I care way too much about what
others have their opinions on me. If I were confident and cared less about what others thought about
me, I would have the traits as compulsive, confident, humorous and much more. In addition, this is
one of the reasons why others think I am shy at times due to my lack of confidence. Therefore, I do
have to work on putting myself out there to the society which will slowly happen.
I believe that I am friendly, kind, reliable, hardworking, punctual, and ambitious. Ever since I was a
child, my parents brought good manners and positive moral teachings into me. One of the lessons
they taught and I must obey is that I

Essay About Myself as a Writer
I don't consider myself a very good writer. I write when I am made to or when I have something
that I need to say that I can't just tell someone. I keep a diary. Usually my diary is just a record of
what I have done that day. It's not so much about my feelings. I don't really like talking about my
feelings, usually because most of the time I am confused about what exactly I am feeling. I tend to
keep the feelings that I do have to myself, to protect myself from getting hurt.

When I started my high school, I found my current best friend, Marie. We are still friends to this day;
she just left for college at George Mason. So once again I'm not with my best friend.
I'm not trying to make my life all depressing because it hasn't been all bad. And I realize that
people have had things a lot worse happen to them, in their lives, and I should be thankful for
what I have. But no matter what I have I just never seem truly happy. I always have this front up,
and it seems like everything is going great, but deep inside, I'm falling apart. This comes out in
my writing, and I think that writing is a good release from all of this. I always try to do my best
when it comes to my class work and my writing, but I know that my writing isn't the best by any
means. I always find it important to the best job that I can do, on school work and also in life.
I think that a lot of what got me through writing papers in middle and high school was my mom.
She was so great about reading over and correcting my papers. She stayed up many nights doing
that for me. Not because she had to, but because she wanted to help me. There were so many other
things she could have been doing, but instead she was helping me, and that means a lot to me. I'm
kind of nervous about doing this all on my own. I'm excited thought o see what I can do on my
own. I am so excited about starting new here, with a clean slate. I think that

Tell me a little bit about yourself. (Inspiration: Consider what brings you to the program, the roles
you identify with in your life, education & work experience, hobbies and interests, etc). I like to
think I'm very outgoing and ambitious. My mom always tells people about how when I was
much younger, and when she took me out grocery shopping I'd always smile and say hello to
anyone who walked by, I think that says a lot about my personality. My high school highly
recommended that everyone took a cooperative program before they graduated. This was the
opportunity I had been waiting for! Finally, I would be able to have the chance to gather some
actual career experience in something I've wanted to do for as long as I could remember, it was
my dream job! It was being a kindergarten teacher. From my very first day at my placement, I
managed to fall in love with every single aspect. After my placement I set out on my path to
further my education. I applied to all my top universities. I was very fortunate enough to be
accepted into all of them. However, when I delved further into researching the certain programs
that I had applied to, my options slowly dwindled. It was either too expensive and completely
unrealistic, or the program wouldn't lead me down the path of working in a preschool. However,
there was still my last option: at a University all the way in Windsor, a few minute drive away from
Detriot– yeah it was far. Although, the program was great. Concurrent

What You Know About Yourself
Some students have an identity, an interest, or talent that defines them in an essential way. If you are
one of these students, then tell us about yourself.
Growing up I was a kid that loved to try out all kinds of things ( and still do ), that I knew nothing
about, though some people thought I was wired because of it. Such as wanting to play field
sports, art, skating, ice skating, hockey at one point, music, and the list goes on because the more I

I was never fond of it to begin with. Yet, with the other sports I was actually pretty good at them,

about yourself. Your likes, dislikes, behaviors, attitudes and habits can be found during this process.
You can use the discoveries to your advantage by accepting or changing strengths and weaknesses. I

With this, I prefer to see and read information to full gain comprehension. If I forget the data, or
not clearly understand it the first time read, I have the option of reading it over. I do not always

least I know what they mean.
I like to take my time with material, but am not always given the allotted time to do so. I also like
to keep a written list of things to do to refer to. I am comfortable with my learning style, accepted

What Have You Learned About Yourself
1. What have you learned about yourself?
One thing that I have learned about myself is, that even though I am working for God, and I'm
doing His work I still have to take the extra time in the morning, having devotions, or I will not feel
connected with Jesus. It doesn't matter how much work I do out in the field, or how many Bible
studies I give, if I didn't spend that extra time with God, than I will lose my connection with God.
Another thing I have learned about myself is, that I am a complete disorganized mess. In Bible
work, you need to be organized in order to be effect, but for me the entire semester was a struggle
to stay organized and on top of things. This revealed to me that I need to become more organized.

I am still studying with, such as Janet who was mentioned earlier. I also really enjoy sharing my
faith and leading others to Jesus, and so I want to continue giving Bible studies.
11.If you were leading this service activity, how might you have done things differently? Why?
The SALT program is really well done, the instructors are kind, relatable, love God, and they have
planned a well put–together program for SALT students. However, if there were something I would
change it would be having people lead out more. What I mean by this is, I think some of the
students should be given some initiative and leadership, and lead out in outreach training or help
co–teach a class. This way they have to learn the tools themselves on a deeper level and also they
take the project and make it their own.
12.How did your academic knowledge better prepare you to serve in this capacity? Which

Essay About Myself
School, to me and among many peers of my age, is not a distant term. I have spent one–third of my
life time sitting in classrooms, every week since I was seven years old. After spending this much
time in school, many things and experiences that happened there have left their mark in my
memory. Some are small incidences while some have had a great impact on me. However,
regardless the degree of significance, things that happened all contributed to shape the person that I
am now. I was accused of cheating for the first time when I was seven years old. It was during the

throughout the semester, so its importance was never over emphasized. Though...show more content...
Everything started anew, I was all by myself. While I was busy getting used to the school and
making new friends, I also discovered a new passion, soccer. Through soccer I was able to meet
some of my most loyal friends. We would often get together and play soccer against other classes.
The school required a test for admission, so the competition was getting fierce. The teachers
focused a lot on our academics and tried to squeeze as much time as they can from us to study. As
the result, we were not allowed to play soccer during our free time because it hinders us from
studying. Maybe it is human tendency to break laws, but the gang of us didnГўв‚¬в„ўt want to
conform to that rule so sneaking a soccer ball to school and keep it away from the teachers
became an everyday challenge. It was amazing the kind of ideas we came up with for this task.
Soccer added spices into my otherwise boring school life, and it served as a channel between me
and my fellow classmates. Through soccer we found a common ground, that we were able to know
each other more and support each other no matter what happens. It gave us a sense of unity, and it
was very important to me. Even now I cherish the pact I had with them back then – the support that
helped me to stay on the right track during my rebel teenage years. My homeroom teacher at the
time had the most impact on me than any other mentors I had. People say

Why this? Because I need to use my agency or in other word to act by myself. I like to add the
following comment by Elder Bednar: "Are you and I agents who act and seek learning by faith,
or are we waiting to be taught and acted upon? Are the children, youth, and adults we serve acting
and seeking to learn by faith, or are they waiting to be taught and acted upon? Are you and I
encouraging and helping those we serve to seek learning by faith? We are all to be anxiously
engaged in asking, seeking, and knocking (see 3 Nephi 14:7)." That's why I like this program at
every step invites me to use my agency and to act as agent. Finally, I can summarize that this
program is inspired by the Holy Ghost and every lesson, every assignment, every exercise is
developed to help me to stay very close by the spirit, but step by step every day my heart had been
changed and really, I love this program. I am going to continue my study to get first an associate in

I was taught to be caring and thoughtful; I wasn't taught anything else from anyone other than not to

taught to believe in myself and never down myself because I can accomplish anything. That is
shown through my determination and hard work because if I didn't believe in myself I wouldn't try
as hard. Last but not all, Humanistic approach sums up my personality a little more than
psychodynamic does because it involves nature vs. nurture and that kind of sums it up just saying
that. Environment and Heredity is kind of the main reasons of my attitudes and actions. In the

differently. His study was a success and proved that many adolescents have different interpretations
on the same issue. He read them off different problems and wanted to see how they would interpret
them. He used children in the age groups of 12–17 and it worked out. I think that the different
approaches can be brought together in some circumstances but in my case it doesn't. My personality
makes more sense coming from the humanistic approach. Briggs, Stephen (2010). Time–Limited

What I have Learned about Myself
I can remember sitting in class, feeling eyes burning through me, dodging inquisitive glances from
all sides, and anxiously awaiting the bell to ring for lunchtime. As most people know, lunch is the
most dreaded part of the first day at a new school. First day of school memories are still fairly vivid
for me; my father was in the JAG corps in the Army and my family moved with biannual regularity.
In fact, I even attended three different high schools. While this may seem highly undesirable to
some, I learned an incredible amount about myself, the world, and other people through moving that
I may never have learned otherwise. What I have learned about myself and the world will without a
doubt contribute to my success in life and even law...show more content...
Generally, there is an intricate, twisted web of human motivations underlying overt behavior.
Though it differs for each person, there are definite patterns that I quickly became attuned to.
While it may initially seem like a stretch to compare having a keen grasp on grade school politics
to having the ability to practice law, the two are surprisingly correlative. As the new kid in school, a
great way to meet people was through playing sports. So every year, I would go to try–outs, whether
I wanted to or not. I often tried out for sports that I had never played before, because each high
school I attended offered different sports. Somehow I always made the team, and I ended up
playing six different sports on eleven different varsity teams. My teammates also voted me
captain of all three sports that I played my senior year. Naturally, I am not suggesting that my high
school athletic prowess will be of any assistance in studying law. However, I do believe that being
a team player requires positive and productive interaction with other people, which parallels many
areas of practicing law. For example, the success of an attorney often depends largely on how well
he/she is able to interact with co–counsel, opposing counsel, witnesses, clients, investigators and
anyone else involved in a case. Having spent all of my formative years on athletic teams, a pastime
that I have continued through college, I feel

Essay About Myself
Growing up in a town of less than 1500 citizens offered little diversity. I grew up around others
that belittled people for their beliefs, color of skin, or sexuality. When I moved to downtown one of
the first people I naturally ran into was my neighbor in the house next door. Right away when I met
David I automatically knew that he was gay. Months went by without anyone in my household or
me talking to our neighbors. After this long period of time I noticed one night that they were having
a get together and I thought it would be a good time to say hi and finally get to know everybody a
little better. This would be the first time that my friend and I have ever gone out of our way to party
with a group of homosexuals....show more content...
The only discrepancy that I had to make was the crazy techno music that was blaring out of the front
door and onto the streets. After dealing with Brandon's bickering for about an hour we finally
decided to enter the house at around 2:30 AM.
After we walked through the doors the first most obvious thing was that there were only 2 girls
there with the company of about 20 men. Instead of trying to leach onto the only girls in the house
I decided it would be a good idea to work my way through the crowd to find my neighbor David.
After a little searching and losing my friend I finally discovered my neighbor in his kitchen. He
seemed shocked to see me at first but came out to say that he was glad that we finally decided to
come by and say hello. At this point I was still feeling a little uncomfortable but I figured I'd use my
time wisely and get to know my neighbor a little better.
The whole time I was talking to David I kept thinking in my head "I wonder if he knows that I am
not gay?" For one reason or another I decided it would be a good idea to let him know what I was
thinking. He reacted in a jokingly matter saying how it was very obvious that I was straight and not
comfortable at the party. This made me feel better immediately and I

Essay About Myself
There are three very important aspects that play a major rule in my life. They can be categorized as
intellectual, social, and spiritual. My intellectual self is interesting because I am mainly
right–brained which means that I tend to use my creativity more than my mathematical skills, also
making me a visual learner. My social self consists of friends, family, and my surroundings. I spend
most of my time at home with my family. Whenever I am with my friends, I observe their behaviors
and listen to their opinions. I am more of an independent type of person. Being with different people
has influenced me into appreciating different cultures and beliefs. I have learned things that have
now been incorporated into my own set of beliefs and...show more content...
I find that I can only recall long–term memories if they are important to me, or if they are dramatic
experiences. A few examples of my childhood memories are my mother reading to me, my
grandfather playing his guitar, and my dad relentlessly teaching me how to ice skate, no matter
how many times I fell. The people who affect my social life the most are my family and friends. I
have an extremely close family that has played a major role in my life. They are whom I spend
most of my spare time with. My family usually gathers every weekend for dinner. I am also very
open to different religions, cultures, and practices because I know many people with different
backgrounds and beliefs. Since I've been influenced by various people, I've learned at a very
young age to never judge people by how they look, dress, feel, or act. I am very fortunate to have
learned these lessons, because many people still do not understand the importance of accepting
differences. In a group, I prefer to listen to what others have to say, and then contribute to the
discussion. I try to listen so I am able to compare them to my own thoughts. I enjoy working in a
group, because it gives everyone an opportunity to incorporate their own ideas. My social self is
most greatly influenced by my family and friends. I believe that my spiritual self is the most
important out of the three. Although I have a certain religion that I belong to and practice, I believe
in a bit of

Narrative Essay Kindergarten
All I wanted when I was little was to have beautiful long hair. All of my dolls had hair down to
their waist , and I longed to have hair like them. Unfortunately for me, my hair did not grow very
fast... at all. I was practically bald until I was three; and my hair was only about to my chin when
I was ready to start kindergarten. So there I was, on my first day at Foreign Language Academy. I
was in SeГ±ora Vargas's Kindergarten class holding on to my mom, dreading the moment she
would have to leave. I had been really excited about starting school and getting to wear my navy
blue dress and my hellokitty backpack. Actually being in the classroom, however, incredibly nerve
racking. Most of the parents were mingling and asking questions to the teacher, while the kids tried
to find their place. Some kids had already began to play games with one another. Others, like me,
were more shy, still clinging to their parent. In all the commotion, I noticed a girl who had the longest
hair in the entire class of kindergartners. She looked a lot like me except she had freckles, a pink
cast on her arm, and the hair I had ever seen. Her hair was the same color as mine, but about triple
the length, and with more curl in it. Jealousy immediately swept over me. It seemed like this girl
had everything I had ever wished for in my entire life. I also thought casts were really cool at that
time because I did not really understand that broken bones hurt, or that you couldn't really move
