To err is human, so no one is perfect without any flaws. However, we must all strive to improve ourselves or this world will be doomed with trillions of unmotivated individuals. I, for one, face similar predicament of having same flaws. Although my greatest problem is being viewed as immature.
I admit, I can be a little too animated and exaggerated sometimes. Therefore, to many people who know me, they tend to be irritated by me. I gasped louder, I screech when I am shocked or horrified, I shouted and laughed when I am exhilarated. Sometimes I even make funny noises, when I am uncomfortable or embarrassed. I guess I cannot change my trait overnight because it is the way I am.
In addition to this, I have interests that are usually preferred by the kids. I enjoy watching animation, playing arcade games, collecting toy models and loving tidbits such as ice-cream, chocolates, lollipops, sweets and so on. Occasionally, I am mistaken as one of the kids because I can get along with children effortlessly.
The fact that I have horrendous handwriting and I have problem spelling even the simplest word make me the prime target of mockery. They seem to think I am still a child judging from the way I write. Maybe writing quickly has affected the aesthetic value of my handwriting but I believe no one should judge people’s intelligence based on handwriting alone.
Besides that, I am considered immature because I have childish relationships with my sister. We always make fun of each other and we constantly bicker about little things that are unimportant. My sister is like my nemesis, although we share the same bloodline and I care about her dearly, I can never express my brotherly love towards her in the normal way.
As a conclusion, immaturity is my biggest problem. At the age of 18, I knew it is time for me to behave my age. I am aware that being mature is for my own good because only then I will be taken more seriously instead of being regard as a child.
