Boy


            This is how you mow a lawn; this is how you make the lawn look nice; this is how to weed the beds; this is how you clean your mess; this is how you wash your own dishes, this is how you cook and clean the bathrooms, no matter how much you think it’s only a woman’s responsibility; this is how to fix a squeaky door; this is how to pull up your pants and not show the world your wonderful underwear; this is how you help an elderly person cross the street on a busy road in the big city; but I never have my pants sagging, my pants aren’t even baggy;  this is how you respect your elders; this is how you act at the dinner table; this is how to set the table; this is how to go to church; this is how to be kind; this is how you treat a lady, even though you think otherwise; this is how you fall in love with a lady ;this is how you give a courtesy wave to drivers who stop to let you cross; this is how you get good grades; but what if my teacher writes down my grade wrong? Are you really expecting me to believe that excuse?

  1. My greatest asset is: hard to choose just one, but I'd go with virtuous.
  2. The nicest thing I ever did for anyone: when I was growing a garden last year, I gave a nod and said good morning; there was no response on her part. Although deterred from saying it again only to be ignored, I was still persistent in saying it every time I saw her. I later found out from another neighbor that she was deaf. I started to learn American sign language online. the next time I saw her, I said "good morning, would you like some tomatoes I grew in my garden." which resulted in her giving me the biggest smile.
  3. The nicest thing anyone ever did for me: When I moved to Boise Idaho, I was a prime target for obnoxious kids. I was thrown in dumpsters, my chair was pulled away when I tried to sit down, I would get on a different bus because people waited for me to get off of my assigned bus stop, people would fill their mouth with water from a drinking fountain on the second floor, and spit down on me when walking through the first floor, I would sneak off of middle school campus to avoid conflicts, etc. It was difficult holding back my temper and urge to beat someone senseless. I informed the school staff, and they helped, but only when they were around and observant. one day, a student who was also new, didn't care to ignore their stupidity, and got into a fight with a kid who bullied others, and after his three day suspension we started talking and became best of buds; The kids still verbally abused him and I on occasions, but for the most part we had no more problems. It wasn't really the nicest thing that someone has done for me, and he wasn't doing it entirely for me, but it's a significant event for me.
  4. One thing I've always wondered about: who eat my half eaten slice of pizza at my own birthday party. I left for 5 minutes, and it was no where to be found.
  5. My teachers last year will tell you that I am: their worst nightmare.
  6. My friends will tell you that I: don't care to talk much, but that doesn't mean I'm shy or trying being rude.
  7. One thing most people don't know about me is : hmm.. I can solve a Rubik's cube, and I was mauled by a tiger at the age of 10.
  8. Five years from now, I will: Be teaching mathematics in secondary education
  9. When I want to, I have the ability to: fly
  10. A person I admire is: My English 150 professor   Because: She has to deal with my odd bunch of fellow classmates for a whole semester
  11. The bravest thing I ever did was: decide it's time to come out of my mothers womb; It was so bright, big, and scary in the real world.
  12. I have trouble dealing with: Unkindness.
  13. I am proud of my: self
  14. I really need to: Finish this assignment, it's getting late.
  15. My favorite class is: English 150    because: saying so might yield me brownie points with the professor.
  16. My friends make me laugh when they: do pretty much anything.
  17. My pet peeve is:  I don't own a pet named Peeve. who names their pet Peeve?
  18. The most stressful thing in my life is:
