Gryffindor Is Too Brave Research Paper

Improved Essays
Gryffindor is too brave for me. Slytherin is too ambitious. Hufflepuff is too soft. That must mean that I am a Ravenclaw!

I had once gotten a horrible grade in math class. I glanced over all my work and realized that they were all silly mistakes.

She remarked that it was the worst grade she had ever gotten. I talked to Mrs.Norris and she replied that Mattie had just forgotten a homework assignment and she could do it for homework that night. After that Mattie was

    I remember the first day of middle school as a sixth grader. I was nervous yet excited to meet new friends, though I’m not the best at it. I would head to the cafeteria every morning as soon as my dad dropped me off. My friends and I along with many other students would gather around the cafeteria before class starts, but far across the table I was sitting was a different table. That table had students that seem to me, very uncontrollably hyper and obnoxious but isolated.…

    I really am not a fan of people comparing me to others, but when I think of fictional characters that remind me of me, a few come to mind. When I think of my personality, I think of humor and a loving person who is hardworking.
