Prompt: Compare and contrast yourself to either Scout or Jem at their age. Compare and contrast your summer activities, friends, relationships with your dad, siblings, and adults.
When I was Scout's age, my brother was about 3 or 4 years older than I was. Just like Scout and Jem. We have a family that we are very close too. The older brother in that family is Danny's age(my brother), and the sister is my age. For as long as I can remember, They have been our best friends. When my best friend, who is one grade ahead of me, hit middle school, she and my brother and his best friend started acting like I was too young to join in their conversations and to understand what they were talking about. I remember getting really mad at them and refusing to talk to them.
My dad. I love my dad so much. We have such a great relationship. Right now, my dad is in Washington D.C. for his job. I miss him so much. We talked about so many different things. He was such a sturdy part of my life. It has been really hard for my mom to take care of both me and my brother. My dad has always been the more organized one. I look up to him as a role model. I can't wait till he comes back into town.
I tend to get along pretty well with adults. I can be very mature when I try to be. I have more trouble with people my age! I had a lot of trouble coming into middle school in 7th grade. I was really shy and I couldn't figure out how to make friends at all. I tried really hard to understand the "middle school mindset" but I had so much trouble adjusting. Now I am really different. I am loud and obnoxious and not shy at all. I think for sure that I have changed for the better.
