Corliss Winston D3 Finished

Appearance:

When I look in the mirror, I see many different things, I see everything from my acne-scarred face to my scrawny, weak, 5'8 body.  I sigh.  I look straight into my evergreen eyes, and I almost zone out.  A lot of people say that my eyes are my best feature, and I tend to agree with them, but some other people like my hair better.  My hair is flipped towards the side, and is a dirty blonde color.  I fix it, but as I do so, I look down at the small scars that pimples have left.  Ugh, if only I had refrained from scratching them a few years ago, but I couldn't resist the temptation.

It embarrasses me a bit when I look at my face sometimes, but at other times I feel amazing.  I look down at my body and analyze myself from that perspective.  I am really light-weight, I really don't enjoy eating school lunch, and sometimes I don't even bother.  I only weigh something like 115 pounds.  It's not blatantly obvious, but it is noticeable.  My bones, particularly my ribs, stick out.  I broke one a few years ago, and it sticks out a bit more than the other.  I'm not anywhere near buff, and I have barely any muscle on me.  If I do, it would be concentrated on my core muscles. I don't have a six-pack, but I try to work on it, and it's not embarrassing, so that's something that I'm proud of.  This makes me quick and agile, if anything, and to add to that, I am a decent runner for distance.  But overall, I am a skinny, awkward, lanky kid that isn't the most attractive.

For the most part, I feel like I am a kind person.  My father has taught me his ways that his father taught him.  I try my best to please people by doing things for them.  People like me for that, and it shows.  I have a few friends, but I believe that I can be too nice sometimes.  If I have to hold the door for one person, it becomes two, then four, and ends up never being just one.  It might not even be relevant, but I try to be polite to people to the point that I feel almost ignored, and unwanted.

When I do nice things, I feel good, but I don't always get the response that I feel I deserve.  When I do anything for anyone, all I get is, "Why do you waste your time doing that?"  I do it to be polite but I am not appreciated, not even my friends.  They aren't bad about things, but they aren't always positive either, but it is more in a teasing manner from them.  They will call me 'kind sir' or 'butler' or anything of that nature just to piss me off.

I don't remember many times that I have had my bubble burst by anyone, but there was one time that I do remember, a few years back.  I let someone get ahead of me in line, for an application thing at school one afternoon, and I ignored it at first, then a some time passed by.  I was not really paying much attention at the time, but then I realized I had waited on the line for a half an hour, and I had only moved forward a few feet in the time.  I looked ahead of me to see who was there, and I didn't recognize anyone who had been there beforehand, and I was a little confused.  Then I decided to pay attention, and I noticed that rather than going to the back of the line people kept on getting into the middle of the line, before me who had been waiting.  I don't remember what I said, but I remember that I said it loud, and blank faces just stared at me.

As a child, I feel as if I were treated well by my parents.  They were amazing to me, despite the lack of money in our household.  It was enough to keep our house and some food, but that's just about it.  I have always had the opportunity to have a meal in front of me, so I really think that compared to some lower District.  I have had a family to support me throughout my childhood.  

Then again, my parents haven't been there for me too much.  They taught me how to be polite, and give me things to survive, but never have they done anything with me.  Both my mother and father have always been consumed with their work, and barely have enough time for me.  Although they are somewhat bothersome sometimes, they are family.  My family will always love me, and I will reflect that back towards them.  

As of my life at school, well, as any average kid in District 3, I have had to go through the education system, and little have I enjoyed most of it.  The Capitol just shoves down our throats how they are amazing, and everything, but no one cares.  They murder twenty-three kids every year, and they spoil a twenty-fourth!  I despise the Capitol as everyone else does.  But recently, I feel as if I have done well in the class meant for our District, computer technology.  I have done pretty mediocre at school before, but computer technology is a class that I have maintained consistently successful at.  Although there aren't many computers in our District, I will master using them, because of how I have been intrigued by them.
