Personal Narrative: A Look In The Mirror

Chapter six- a look in the mirror

When I look in the mirror, I see myself. I see a fourteen-year-old boy with no complication or depth. But I have to describe myself with depth to really illustrate what kind of person I am.

Starting from top to bottom, I have deep, deep brown hair that is 2 and ½ inches long, which I am trying to grow out. I have curvy ears and deep brown eyes with a small nose and not much acne. My teeth are one of the personal parts of me as I have mentioned before in other chapters. It has intrigued me since I grew them in. There is about a one-centimeter gap between my incisors (or my two front teeth). People have asked me all my life if I was/am going to get braces which makes me very irritated. Though the question about

my teeth makes me angry I will get braces this summer. My neck, as people tell me, is really long, but I really can't tell.
My body is really skinny because of my high metabolism, but I eat a lot. I have a birthmark on the center of my chest and another on my wrist. I have two scars on my right hand from being stupid. One scar is fading and it is from me falling off a treadmill at 20 miles an hour, the other scar is from me burning myself with an iron. I have long, somewhat hairy legs, which are very clumsy and caused me to fall a lot of times which many can attest to.
My personality is shy at first. When I first meet people I am shy, but when I start to know the people I am around I start opening up. When I open up I am a mixture of personalities, I am nice, forgiving, hardworking, silly, intelligent, cocky, pessimistic and arrogant.
I am interested in a lot of things. The most interesting to me is how the world works and how people in it react to situations and ideas. But other things I am interested in are flight, and engineering/robotics. In my free time, I like to skateboard and surf the internet for cool and interesting topics. Another hobby of mine is building things, whether it be mechanical or edible.
I don't really have many habits. I like to break things apart to see how they work, I also am very picky about my food and I like to correct people when they are wrong. I also touch my hair a many times and I tap pens and my feet.
I don’t have a long list of awards. I played soccer and won trophies. As I mentioned in my later years. I entered into a firefighter art contest and won first place twice. I joined the national beta club in sixth grade and got a certificate. Recently I was accepted into Eleanor Roosevelt, which is a one of my biggest accomplishments.

Chapter seven- Things I love and hate
I like and dislike a lot of things, but I have a moral code that I follow so that I can keep on being me.

My moral code is basically don’t offend anyone. But also, be open minded to other things.

I enjoy reading. It's what occupied me in my elementary school life. I just got into comic books which I enjoy, though I can’t name my favorite. My favorite book is a feast for dragons by George R.R Martin. A pet peeve that I have about reading is when people cannot read in their head, people who spoil books, and people who spoil books wrong by saying he/she dies in the end.

I can't say what my favorite show is because I have so many I will just describe them by genre. My favorite action and adventure show would be Game of Thrones. My favorite comedy would be the Big Bang Theory. My favorite dramas are Daredevil and Jessica Jones. I really like science fiction, so I have many. They are the Flash, the Arrow, and Agents of Shield. My favorite anime is Attack on Titan and Naruto; and my favorite family show is blackish. Some TV shows really rile me up. I hate it when they rip another show off, or when they change around the plot. What I hate is when they make shows more dramatic than they

are.
As I mentioned above, I like comic books. Not only do I like comic books I like comic book movies and TV shows. I have watched every Marvel/DC movie that has come out in the last 13 years. The reason I enjoy superhero movies is because it makes me feel as though I can do anything or be anything. I have a pet peeve when it comes to superheroes. I don't like it when Marvel/DC steal superhero ideas from each other.
I admire someone a lot. This person technically is not real, but in the show (the big bang theory), he motivates me to do better. Sheldon is the senior theoretical physicist at Caltech. He is a former child prodigy with genius level IQ. I look up to him because Sheldon was interested in physics from an early age, and was a child prodigy, although due to his behavioral quirks and his lack of humility about his superior intellect, he was bullied by classmates and neighbors. Sheldon entered college at the age of eleven and at age fourteen he graduated from college summa cum laude. From then he worked on his doctorate. He was a visiting professor at the University of Heidelberg in Germany and was the youngest person at the time to receive the Stevenson Award. Sheldon is now a theoretical physicist doing research at Caltech. Though he is not a real person I look up to him because he is smart and reminds me of myself. Though I am not that smart
It sounds like I hate many things but really I am open to trying new things
