Help me finish this story for English Class!!!! Its Due tommorrow!!!?
My name is Mia and I’m a shy girl. I don’t know why I’m shy. I always tell myself to just get over it, but it’s something I will probably struggle with for the rest of my life. I’ve learned to accept this as part of my personality, but sometimes it just makes my life difficult. When I was a little girl, I was always the quiet one, which of course meant I was picked on all the time because I would never defend myself. I concentrated on school work and quietly took comfort in the fact that I would one day be more successful than my tormentors. I remember sitting in class, working away at my assignments so I wouldn’t have any homework, while the other kids at my table giggled and call me names.

Did you confront? Did you ignore? Did you split the difference?
I remember sitting in class, working away at my assignments so I wouldn’t have any homework, while the other kids at my table giggled and call me names. “Hey zombie, you learned how to talk yet? Ha Ha! The alphabet begins with the letter ‘A,’ then comes ‘B.’ Ha Ha!” I wanted to throw my books in the air and scream: “What’s wrong with you morons? What is it to you if I’m introverted?” Of course, I didn’t throw my books. I didn’t scream. No; I sat there silent and stone-faced. A zombie.
One day, however, I reached the breaking point. To this day I cannot explain why I did what I did; there is nothing in my past that would suggest it as a possibility. One day after lunch Tyler Franklin started on me with the jokes. I knew where this was going; we all knew where this was going. But this time something inside me was different. As Tyler started pulling out his heaviest insults – the ones he saved for special situations where the poor recipient of his barbs managed to keep their cool past a normal breaking point – I flat out punched him in the nose. In the nose! And it bled, a lot.
Am I sorry? A little. I don’t like blood and I don’t like pain. I wouldn’t wish a bloody nose on anyone – not even sorry ole’ what’s-his-face. But what’s-his-face never insulted me again. And not just him – no one else, ever again. Now, I’m not so naïve as to think folks around here are afraid I’m female Mike Tyson. No, I think it’s something else – something to do with standing your ground. That day I did and, even though I’m still just a shy, quiet, “zombie,” I was given something more precious than cold hard cash – respect.
I wonder what Gandhi would think of this? But then, it really doesn’t really, does it? He was probably outgoing.
hope that helps a bit!!!
No offense, but your story isn’t going anywhere and it’s a tad boring. I think you should start the story with a situation and some dialogue that tells that she is quiet and shy. And then, after the situation has passed and been resolved, throw in the description of Mia that you wrote. Overall, I think the grammar and sentence structure you have in that paragraph is very nice.
I then decided I would practice my shyness skills on my dolls as if they were real. I somehow had to overcome this evil of quietness that was trying to consume me. Now some think a quiet mind is a sign of a deep thinker but it is also sometimes the sign of someone wanting to get out and become more outgoing in search of the true wiles of life. Sometimes, being shy has cost me…. All in all I like myself as I am because I have learned….
The next day, a new student showed up. Her name was Nikki. For some reason, it seemed like she was sparkling. I didn’t know at that time that she was going to teach me that if you believe in your self, anything is possible.
Nikki ended up sitting next to me. She had silver hoop earrings, and a skull necklace. I was frightened. She introduced herself. She had a rough voice. Being the shy girl i am, all that came out of my mouth was, “nice shirt.”
Everyone was avoiding Nikki for the next few weeks. I was too. She was just walking around the playground, singing a song. She seemed confident and proud of herself. The complete opposite of me.
I hated the teacher when I found out i was going to be partners with Nikki for the science project. But this science project almost completely changed my life.
