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.

  2. Oh! Don't worry, David! I think You're not very as sick as me. I'm too SELF-DEPRECEATION and sometimes I'm very SELF-IMPORTANT, that's contradict, I'm so mad, right? But I still think you're not weak, just because you don't realize at first but over time, you'll know it. Don't think people are rude or see you as ridiculous, that makes you more sad, try to make happier! And I think you should write less emotion words so people can image the scenes and how you feel like they act in yours, but I know, it's very difficult because so do I, I can't do it so I think you'll be better than me! Remember, You had friends, don't care about others, just do it by yourself and listen to the faithful advice (You're old to regonize what is good for you, right?) so you'll soon improve! Hope you success!

  3. This is a very good topic for a personal narrative essay David. I understand that you're really struggling. I think I understand that chess game with Sam, but the link is not clear in the writing. I want you to tell us in the beginning what the main idea of your story is, how struggling and failing help to make us stronger. I also want you to work on the descriptive language. Make me feel how you felt playing tennis with your brother. Think about rising action and keeping the story going with complications. Keep up the good work!

  4. Good job David, but I think you should tell us more about how you feel when you play tennis and how you feel when your brother tease you. I think you have two conflicts, one is about your brother being mean to you, and how you interact with other peers.
