Personal Narrative: My Only Native American

BIRTH FACTS I was born in the year 2000, on May fifth which is also a Mexican holiday, “Cinco de Mayo.” I find it ironic considering I'm not mexican at all, and I’m only Native American. I was born in Gresham, that's where I grew up for part of my life. It was when my nana used to live in a trailer park with my mom. When I was born, I was 9 pounds and I believe it was about 6 a.m., my mom is still always surprised about how much I used to weigh because now I'm small and scrawny. I wasn’t named after anybody specific but my mom has always thought my name was uniquely spelt. I was given my name Mackenzee because my mom didn’t know a lot of other people had it. It was a different name and she thought it was beautiful, so do I. My full …show more content…
I have more friends now but I only have a few real ones. I wouldn't say that I'm the nicest person you'll ever meet. I can be pretty aggravating and really mean sometimes. This is mostly because I don't understand how to express my emotions correctly. When I'm angry and I'm talking to someone I'll end up taking it out on them. I have bad anger issues and I’ve been learning how to handle it with my Discovery skills. I know it upsets my mom because she sees so much of my dad in me and she really dislikes him. My real dad has never treated me right, but I can't complain because I can barely remember anything he's ever done to me and I guess it's in the past. I also like to talk a lot, I know it gets annoying. It's one of the reasons I used to not have any friends when I was younger because I would talk so much, I guess they didn't like that. I'm a very unique person, I'm a very weird person too. I do things that most people won't do. I take a lot of risks which most of the time I regret doing because they are stupid ideas, like i would always run around yelling or trying to get attention, or I'd get suspended from school or the bus for me being stupid. I have ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) which affects a lot of the stuff I do today and when I was younger. It affects how I focus which I hate admitting because I refuse to blame a disorder for my problems instead of …show more content…
My best friend is always telling me about how I need to change. I’m confused because I feel like she’s not there for me anymore. She says I lie to her a lot, which I don’t and she’s always bringing up my past. I did some stupid stuff, but I’m so nice to her I try to buy her things and make her smile but she just always seems disappointed and always has something to say about me. It’s not always good either most of the time she's criticizing me. I have more to say, yesterday which was April 18th she told me she no longer wanted to be friends with me anymore and she gave me back everything of mine. I guess I’ve solved that problem. A lot of people see me as fake. I guess I am. I don’t want to be flat out rude to people, but I am most of the time and I’ll say it to there face. At Forest Grove High School, I got in trouble for bullying a lot because I was a big time bully to everyone. The only way I made myself feel better is if I pointed out their flaws before they could even get to mine, later I would always feel bad about it. I knew people didn't like me and that’s why I was always so
