Help!!!!look down there,what should i write?

Is it okay if I write a little more than what he asked me to...?

• My Social Studies teacher wants us to write a thing about ourselves. He wants us to write: -Our name, age, birthplace -Our dreams (+future) -Aspirations and hobbies -1 Secret -friends, family, entourage,... -interesting facts. Right now, I find myself more like writing an "About me" for Myspace, than the actual essay that he wants us to write. He said that there is no limit, I just feel like my paper is off topic. My name is Alex. I blow out the candles on April 14th. I am 1* years young. I would like to say that I’m very happy with what I have in my life right now. I live with my mother and that’s it. I have no siblings but I’ve always dreamed of having an older sister. I feel kind of lost, most of the time, not having anyone to really talk to, and show me right from wrong. Most of all, I feel like I need a role model, other than my mother. Currently, I don’t have any pets. I feel lonely sometimes, but I get to see my family a lot, since most of my relatives live near North Carolina. In my family, I am the youngest. I feel like I’m spoiled, but I really try not to be, since I’ve seen some kids my age who have almost nothing. I have my friends, who are amazing. They mean everything to me. I have no idea what I would do without them. I know that even if we get into fights or disagree on something, that they will always be there for me and vice-versa. On a regular school day, I am very quiet in class. I listen to the teacher. I try and work my hardest. When I daydream in class (which I do quite often), I think about my friends over seas, and my friends here, in the USA. I daydream about me and them going on trips. I like to think about what my kids’ name would be if I had any. I sometimes think about going around the world in 44 days, not 88. I have a lot of stuff on my mind, so it’s hard to focus on school sometimes. But I try and make my mother proud, and I try and get good grades. When I am older, I’m not really sure on what I want to do with my life. I constantly make up stories, trying to plan out my future. I always get stuck after the “go to college” part. All I know right now is that I want a good education and a decent job. I don’t want to think about the details, not yet. I still watch Disney Channel and Nickelodeon, because it makes me feel like I’m still a 5 year old. I have a passion for photography, even if I’m bad at it. I prefer to have myself behind the camera instead of in front of it. I shoot pictures of whatever captures my eye. When I hear about all the drama that’s going on in Middle School, I laugh. People usually come to me and ask for advice. I wish I could help them, but I’m afraid of telling them something wrong. I constantly have to be reassured that I’m doing the right think. I have major trust issues due to events in the past. I don’t understand how people can just open up to me and tell me all of their problems. If you really knew me, you would know that I tend to be quite superstitious sometimes. I make wishes at 11:11. I find it kind of funny though, since I had two black cats. My religion right now is unsure. My whole family is Christian, but whenever they make me go to church, I find myself not believing in what the bible says. I’m not very good at sports- maybe it’s because I’m so clumsy. I play tennis though. Each time I watch the Titanic, I cry. I’m too sensitive. I over-analyze everything that people do and say to me. I try to not seek so much attention from people. I don’t want to be part of one certain “clique”. Even if I do it too, I hate how people can judge their peers so easily, just by what they wear, or what music they listen to. I tend to not fit in a certain style, I’m just me. People have questioned my fashion sense. I wear skinny jeans because I like having the security and reassurance from them around my legs. I’ve been though a lot these last few years and I’m proud to say that I’ve been doing well, with all the new schools and everything. One dream I have is going back to China. I was adopted at 13 months, so I don’t remember anything. I know that I will never be able to meet/find/or know my birth parents, but I want to go back to my orphanage, in Xiamen. I try to have a positive attitude towards things, and I try and go with the flow. I like traveling to different places around the world, and meeting new people. Music has made a big impact on my life.

• Answer:

  This sounds great. Even by reading this exert I can tell what kind of person you are. This is a very personal essay though. You might want to check some of the information that you put into. But then again you might be like me and like to get personal with teachers. It sounds like you have a lot to open up about. A teacher is a good person to open up to. I think your teacher will appreciate the effort and time you put into this. My mom is a teacher and she loves it when her students rely on her. Your teacher will like and it covers the required information and more! It sounds like you are a great person! I hope you continue being this individual because then there will be one more person on this planet like me. :)
