    Some people say that their flashbacks are never like the movies’ version, where the screen goes from the character doing something to the screen flashes to her point of view. And the view of the screen is too zoomed in, to where the viewer could not see the person or the object that the character is seeing, causing the character to forget how to breathe and have people worry for them.

While some just randomly pop up in my mind, almost like in the movie Inside Out where mini people in your mind would pick a memory ball and put it on the memory projector for showing.…

    I feel like the charactor i am most like is Pony boy Curtis. One reason why i feel like i am like him, is because he likes to be alone. I feel like we have this in common because, I like to just be away from people for awhile, and I don’t to be in big groups of people like him.

That my ability to do well academically was somehow hindered by not having certain tools that I needed, tools I wasn’t even aware existed. In high school, I began to augment my deficits with strengths. Where my grades were lacking I made up for it through creativity; I excelled at art and photography.…
