First person Narrative Essay

In school, Sam asks me for a game of chess so I play with him because no one ever beat me. Sam is Chinese so I think I will lose him so I not try my best, and then I lose him, I act like I’m boring and said “I’m not playing for real, I just play for fun.”, Sam says “So when can you play it for real David”.

My brother likes tennis and he played very well. I always got tired very fast and my brother said that “You are weak”. I was very angry and I kept talking all the ways we go home. Then he shouted out “You talk too much”. I was shy because even I think that I talk too much but I still very angry because he is right, so I shouted “Because you making the problem first”. After that, my brother still texting and smiling. After we got home, I have dinner, do my homework. I just lay down on my bed and thinking what I just did. I still angry instead and I don’t know why he was smiling even I shouted at him. I never accept that I was bad at anything; I just told them that I don’t want to do it. My brother still happy and say nothing after that conversation. I don’t want to talk with him because he always makes me embarrassed. At school, I want people to talk to me first so that make me more important and the solution is nobody ever talk with me accept some of my best friend. I put my hands in my pocket and tried to be a cool guy in school, but no one even cares of me. After school, I have to play tennis again so I just try to be tired and not trying my best so my brother will say nothing that makes me embarrassed. We went home and had a big meal for dinner. We finish eating, my mother always talking about study stuff. My brother never listens to because He had phone games to play and I always have to listen. My mother says that “Even I have to listen to the younger; people think that they always right will never success in anything.” I remember what mom say and think about that. Did I done something wrong? I give up my tennis lesson so I not make any mistake. I scare of making mistake, I so scare that I don’t want to talk to my friend. Is my thinking right? Never make any mistake in my whole life. I lie down on my bed and think; I cannot sleep until I make my decision. The next day at school, I try to do the opposite things that I have done before, I not use to it yet. I try to say “Hi” to people that is in my class and they just say Hi back to me, I feel this is ridiculous. In class I try to raise my hands as much as possible so I can get a little attention. In team work, I tried to be active and talking with my teammate about my topic, they laugh at me a lot and I don’t know why, but is good to see people have attention and have fun in my topic. I still trying to say hi to people, it made feel something really strange inside, I feel free. In the tennis court, I try to be tired again, my brother go and talk to me “Can you be normal just one time a week, I never see you like tennis before”. I do, I love tennis, but my brother always says bad things about me. What if I just ignore him? He still smile because he tries to ignore me, I will ignore him back. This is the first time I tried my best in tennis, I never did and it was fun. I got tired again, there he comes again “So weak” I hate that sound, I try to come down and say, “Of course! I’m fat”. I never accept that I was fat because but it is normal, no one is perfect so do I. At home, I eat a lot today because I’m lost a lot of energy. I feel really energetic. I’m very sleepy now. I don’t have a good time at school but it was fun.

Now I have more friends than before and I try to make my self-confidence by try hard on everything. I not scare of making mistake because my teachers say everyone make mistake and we learn more think from mistake so mistake is a way to learn things. I always listen to my brother now even he say I’m weak, I try to practice more and more so I can get a better physical. I have to thanks my mom for saying that to not think that you are always right.

What does it mean "to pull a Charlie Gordon?

Whenever Joe and Frank make Charlie Gordon fun or fool, people always say Joe and Frank had pull a Charlie Gordon. So I think it meant to make fool of Charlie Gordon because Charlie is not smart, all the time people always laugh at him. Charlie thinks that it was fun and they are really his best friends. He doesn't understand what it means "to pull a Charlie Gordon". Charlie is getting smarter every day, he starts to think about stuff. That was time when his friends invited Charlie to a party. Here they had a lot of fun. Joe knows that Charlie does not know to dance but Joe suggested Charlie to dance with Ellen. While Charlie is stripping because somebody's foot was always sticking out. He is really ashamed. That's why he understood the saying "to pull a Charlie Gordon". From this event, "to pull a Charlie Gordon" is to make full of a stupid guy because Charlie Gordon was dumb.
