New Teacher Essay

Since this essay is for my new social studies teacher, I'll talk about some things about me you could possibly need to know. One thing I plan to discuss is my past and the things that I have been through. Something else I want to talk about is a couple of my hobbies and things I really like. The final thing I will tell you about me is who I am as a person; pretty much just the kind of personality I have. I'm hoping this essay helps you see who I am as a person. Hopefully, you can use this to see the kind of student I am, as well.

First things first; my name is Trez, and I'm not lying when I say it's been sort of hard for me since I was little. Just to start, my parents have been divorced since I was two, but that's not even the worst part of it. My mom told me that when they were still together, they fought a lot, and not only did it make me cry, but the police had to come to our house on a few occasions. Then, there's the fact that I have been teased almost everyday since I started school; at first, it was just because I was kind of fat (which I can't really help anyway since I have a lot of fat people on both sides of my family), but after I got my locks when I was seven, people made fun of me for being fat and for my hair. Also, I've never had any genuine friends that I was able to fully trust; actually, since I'm sort of a target for bullies, users and jerks, I honestly don't trust anyone that much. I have had a few friends, but not a lot of them were trustworthy or mentally sane; there was this one really crazy girl I knew when I lived with my dad a few years back, and she seemed alright at first, but she stole my diary, used me to get stuff, came into my house when I told her not to, made my hair look a mess, and tried to strangle me! So, as you can see, my life has been pretty hectic, but at least I'm still alive and not seriously injured or mentally insane like my "friend" was; I can at least be happy about that.

My next topic is some things I like doing, and things I love. I've liked to sing for longer than I'm even able to remember, and I hate to brag (unlike my mom with that huge ego of hers), but I'm really good at singing. I also write, but it's mostly romance stories based on TV shows I like to watch. Speaking of that, one story I'm currently working on is based on this one show I adore called "Total Drama Island"; I'll tell you, I'm almost completely hooked on that show. I mainly like it because I think it's hilarious, but there's also romance going on, and I also view myself as a mixture of a few of the characters; Eva (who has a bad temper like me), Gwen (who's a loner and has a bad attitude like me), Courtney (who is smart, aggresive, and competitive like me), and Bridgette (who is kind and laid back like me). I also have a very strong interest in Duncan, the bad boy of the show, and that's where my stories come in; I know since "Total Drama Island" is just a TV show and everything, I can't be with Duncan, but in that kind of a situation, I make up characters for the show to reflect how I would act if I was there. In the case of "Total Drama Island", my character is Rikki Daniels, a rich girl with a famous mom, dad, and twin sister named Melisa; Rikki has a real self-confidence problem, and is very shy, but her shyness is nothing compared to her temper.

The last thing I want to let you know about me is the type of person I am. I feel that I've always been a really kind-hearted person, but for safety's sake, I'd say it's best to make sure I don't get too angry at anyone in the classroom. I try not to hurt anybody, but my temper can get a little bit out of hand sometimes. Even on my best day, I have a hard time keeping my temper under control, but I can't really help it; the temper thing kind of runs in my family. Both my mom and dad have bad tempers, so I would have a bad temper either way. Still, even though I have a bad temper, I'm a good person, and I have a good heart. I'm a smart girl, a loyal friend, and I try to do everything in my power not to hurt people; it's just like the saying goes, I'm a lover, not a fighter.

That's really all I wanted to say about me. The fact that you know about my past is a good thing since that's the source of my bad attitude and the reason I have such an emotional personality. Also, the fact that you know how my personality works and what my favorite things to do are should let you know how creative I am. I think the fact that you know so much about me already should help you see the kind of student I am. If it didn't, I still have the satisfaction of knowing I tried. Anyway, that's pretty much it; thanks for aking the time to check this out.
