Tapping the table anxiously waiting for that buzzer to finally beep‚ I am ready to end this. beep‚ beep‚ beep. My self control wasn’t always the best. I would speak my mind often. My mouth was at times as fast as a Nascar and as out of control as a tornado. I was at a debate tournament and I was about to ask the opposing team my questions about the South China Sea conflict. I was so anxious to ask but couldn’t due to the timer. My impulsivity is pretty unique. It’s like my super power in that it

Sensing a lack of oxygen in my lungs‚ I began to quietly hyperventilate. Breathe‚ Kelly‚ breathe. For a split second‚ I wondered if this was how people felt at the very moment that they "lost it".

I walk through double doors that are held open by regrets and anxiety. My instrument is in my right hand; dragging me to a crowd of people. My music is in my left hand; puncturing a hole that reminds me of my sins. The tights I am wearing squeeze so tight that my legs are suffocating. My hair is pulled back revealing my identity to the world. My black dress is fitting for the funeral I am going to. This will be the most competitive competition I will be in. I greet my director as I walk into

I am the most amazing person on earth. Do you know why I am so great? I am almost godly because of my great skill of tetherball. I hit the ball so hard that the post will fall over. Sometimes my arms power is so great that the string snaps. After snapping the ball would travel 300 feet before landing so the crowd members have a special spot called a splash zone. It was made just for me! The only thing that can compare to my power is the gods themselves! Maybe even my power is beyond this world
