similies, metaphors, cliches


Short spiky, a porcupine. I am as funny as a dog, I'm as loud as an elephant, I'm like a black dot on a white dog being myself. Always wearing jeans wearing glasses.


Active when around my friends like a happy puppy. Distant at times like a cloud high in the sky. Raged at times like like a tiger attacked from behind.I'm Steven Speilberg with a new idea. Appresiated for that I live. Nicer than a harmless butterfly on a spring morning visiting flowers.

my personal hero

This is my personal hero Carlos G. Ulloa. I chose my grandfather as my personal because he taught me a lot of things. He 's been my role model since I was a little boy. He always thought positive and was very smart. He finished calculus by the age of 16. My grandfather is very inspiring. I want to be like him go to college and be successful
