What defines me?

When I was born, I was born with a cleft lip. I spent a lot of time in hospitals getting surgeries and check ups. This has made me view the world in a different way. I have seen bad sicknesses and bald people who are struggling through cancer treatments. I have seen mothers crying because their daughter/son has health problems and they don't know if they will make it out alive. I have seen young children spend their whole lives in the hospital trying to cure a disease they were born with and had no control over. From this whole experience I learned that their is always a hidden story behind peoples lives, you just need to take the chance to figure out what it is. Appearance doesn't show what is on the inside.
        My dance defines me to some extent. To dance you need to be energetic, loud, rythmetic, and flexible. All these things describe me. I am very outgoing and my energy doesn't die down very easily. I can choreograph and dance move on the spot and I am very persistent.
        I am a twin with my brother Blake and he is 2 minutes older than me. He feels that this makes him feel superior to me. But this is definitely not true. It makes me want to prove myself even more and makes me want to over rule him.

to kill a mockingbird

I liked and disliked "to kill a mocking bird" for different reasons. I found this book very depressing and I did not like the language they used back then. The story seemed to be the same in each chapter and it always took place in the same area. Although the general idea of the book was a good lesson to teach and readers should learn it, I felt the book was dragged on. All of the events were similar and there wasn't enough action in it. I liked the book because of the basica idea, racism. It was interesting to learn how it was back then and what life was like. I would have the book a better read if it talked about The Great Depression more and explained the events leading up to it. If more histroy was put into this story it would be more exciting. I wouldn't suggest other people to read this book and I don't think it should be studied in class. I am more into Mystery and Horror books and feel that those books should be studied more. (:
