Introducing Myself by Hector Rivas
In the year 2008, fireworks were bursting and my mom was in the middle of labor. I eventually managed to climb my way out. And ever since then my mom has told me the same story for every fourth of July. During my infancy I was never alone. There is a fella in this room who was born a month before me. Karla is basically the opposite of me. She is outspoken and loud while I am kinda quiet and obviously nonchalant. She is short while I am tall and the list can go on. But that’s enough about her.
Ruth is my other cousin. We both had gone through a little emo phase during middle school but those times are in the past. We mostly play random games on Roblox or I am calling her in order to yap her ear off. I have two younger brothers and they are lucky to have such a patient brother like myself. They may seem like nice kids, but when they are in the house that all changes. They start to yell and argue with each other. Even though Matthew is 12 and Jeremiah is 5 they always end up fighting.
My favorite sport is soccer and the best team is obviously Barcelona. I have managed to recruit Matthew into liking Barcelona but Jeremiah is a lost cause. His father has made him a Real Madrid fan. I hope he can recover soon and join the right side.
One of my favorite activities is definitely eating. I love to eat any type of junk food. Whether it is McDonalds, Chik-fil-A, Popeyes or even Burger King. I’ll eat anything and everything. Yesterday I was so hungry that right after school the first stop was Chik-fil-A. One of my favorite places is Chipotle. I have nearly enough points for three free chipotle bowls.
I don’t really like speaking about myself so I’ll end the writing here.
