My Beautiful and Sophisticated College Application

People say I'm special. I'm not sure why, I do things just like everybody else. I enjoy scaling thirty story buildings, and then parachuting from the top. Soup is something I like to eat with a fork. One time I went around the world in eighty days. Then got home and decided to do it again.

The peak of Mt. Everest is one of my favorite hangouts. I also went to the moon, but that's a long story. I once made pigs fly just because someone said they couldn't. Oprah is my neighbor, but only on weekends. I like long strolls. I don't eat birds. Most of my belongings come form the mystical sea caves on the shore of Uganda. 

 Sometimes people call me the ninth wonder of the world. I don't speak two languages, I speak five. Every once and a while I will swim over to Europe to do my grocery shopping, and maybe pick up a new toaster while I'm there.
I study for tests by sleeping on my books, and I  get 99.8% every time. My pen was carved from the twig of the rare purple leafed flog tree. And the ink is from the most rare starfish squid. One of my favorite pass times is teaching beached whales to swim. I also love to frolic through wheat fields, while I knit socks for all of my cats.

These are just a few of the things that have made me who I am today. At the age of seventeen I hope for many more accomplishments, and hopefully one of them will include getting into college.

Grade 12, The End

This is it, the end of all I know. My grade twelve English teacher just asked me to write my first paragraph for him. The intense moment of not knowing how to start is in the past, now it's figuring out the middle and then the end. I've never been very good at writing. Its kind of scary. The thought of possibly being judged for the words I write or just the thoughts that come out of my head is not pleasant. Maybe its the part where I'm not quite sure of what is expected. Whatever it is, it doesn't matter because I'm going to have to write it anyway. Hopefully I didn't do to bad of a job considering this is my first of many terrifying paragraphs to come.
