I saw the bus coming right as she walked across the street… Okay, that was just to hook you, but I promise that's pretty much my book in one sentence. I'm Gabriel Rhodes, and (until November 5, 2016) I am eleven years old. Just because of my age doesn't mean I don't have a lot of stories. I will be explaining my whole life, including; my dreams, my dancing career, and my flaws. During them there will be one similar trait, my awkwardness. Leave the judgment behind, I worked long and hard on this (probably). One more thing, everyone* I mention in, this will have their name changed to inanimate objects. Sit back, relax, and enjoy. “Hey now, hey now, this is what dreams are made of.” -Hilary Duff from The Lizzie Mcguire Movie.

“I want to be a famous actor” I would quietly think to myself. Everything is different now, I do so much stuff, I have no clue what I want to do. Actor, Dancer, Chef, Pianist, they are all starting to blend together, imagine how bad that must be. Everyone is probably thinking, “That child is only eleven, why is he acting like he’s having a midlife crisis?” well, I am. A good friend once told me, “If you have time to commit to something, you must love it.” (Okay, that was just from some sappy drama I watched on HBO). After rambling on for about five-gazillion minutes, I would like to give you a straight answer…. I'm a dancer, I mean I'm there practically 24 hours a …show more content…
Now before anyone walks away, it’s not a flirty wink, it has just become my reaction to anything. Here is how a normal conversation would go; Park Bench*- “Can I borrow a pencil?” Me- “Sure (*winks*).” Park Bench- “Ummmm….” Me- “(*winks*).” Park Bench- “Stop it.” Me- “ Oh crap, am I winking (*winks*).” Park Bench- “(*facepalms*).” Yeah, it’s really embarrassing, and it happens all the time. I picked up winking from some Nickelodeon show, where someone was trying to teach their brother how to wink, let’s just say I followed that lesson “oh too well”. Winking isn't all bad, when I say “ I'm an inappropriate winker” I can also say, “like danisnotonfire (Dan Howell)”.Okay, that does not seem so bad, but just wait…. Any second now.
I'm a massive procrastinator, and it’s BAD. I will do literally anything (including stuff I have previously put off) just to get out of doing something, and usually it’s very important. Sidenote: I'm doing this the midnight of the day it’s supposed to be done. If this whole thing seems short, it’s because I took out a bunch of stories (because of how much I procrastinated) while “revising”.
*Sorry Park Bench, I forgot about
