My Embarrassing Story
A personal
essay by: Advika Yavagal
People
get embarrassed, it’s a natural feeling. What people need to know about me is
that I get embarrassed very easily. I get embarrassed during PTM’s, whenever my
brother is around, and if I score badly on tests. This is something that I
always used to deny but now I’ve come to realize. These are multiple incidents
to prove how I get embarrassed easily.
My
first place where I get embarrassed easily is during PTM’s. Here is a short
flashback that happened. PTM’s were tomorrow and I was begging the clock to go
slower as every minute passed! PTM’s are fine; I just don’t like sitting there
when my mom and the teacher are talking. In other words I get embarrassed if
the teacher praises me or the opposite! My mom also asks a thousand questions
if I don’t understand something. Moms do that but I prefer not being there.
Moms! Especially mine since I’m new, my mom is always asking a lot of questions
and bugging my friends during PTM’s. Of course my mom’s curious but I feel like
I’m in the spotlight, not the kind! This is making me realize that I shouldn’t
get embarrassed or care what people think! Still…. PTM’s are not the only times
when I get embarrassed, my brother is a part of it too.
My
brother is really cute and I love him don’t get me wrong on that, but he’s also
very annoying and embarrassing especially when my friends are around. He always
wants to be the center of attention and is constantly talking, usually whatever
he’s saying is embarrassing. Since he is four, people find it cute. Then
there’s me who gets embarrassed because I’m the girl that yelled at her
adorable brother! Now I’ve realized that he’s young and just wants to be a part
of things. I should include him. That’s taken care now….. if I score bad on
tests and people find out, I don’t get mad, I get embarrassed, badly!
I love
math! In U.S. I would ace all my math exams. But when it came to our history
test, that was my weak spot! An incident was in U.S. when we got our history
papers back, I hadn’t done terrible but I hadn’t aced it. I am naturally a
competitive person so when my best friend had scored the highest I was upset
when I should have been happy for her. As I am saying this I realize that my
competitiveness got the best or worst of me which is why I got embarrassed!
As you
can see, I’m a human who gets embarrassed, just a little easier than most
people. During PTM’s, when my brother is around, and if I score badly on tests
are just three examples of when this feeling occurs. It is not something I’m
proud of but hopefully can fix as a New Year’s Resolution maybe. Putting it on
paper makes it easier!
