Describing Myself!

Describe myself? Alright… mind you readers out there that this prompt is pretty difficult to write about, so be kind…

My name is Phalai Frink and I am 16 years old. Like every other teenager this is a strange stage in my life. Trying to figure out what life is about and trying to figure out who I am. I got some pimples here and there on my face, but I guess I’m a decent looking person. Anyways, back to describing myself. On Saipan, I am considered tall. I am about 5’6-5’7. When I was a kid, I would tower over all the other girls and boys; I am still much taller than many of my classmates.

My ethnicity is Cambodian, but I am an American citizen. I was born in Cambodia, but when I was 3 years old I was adopted by two loving people and brought over to Saipan. I do not remember much about Cambodia or my biological parents. Cambodia is located in Southeast Asia next to Thailand. Although, I am Cambodian, I do not have the typical Khmer look.

Cambodian women have jet black straight hair, where as I have thick long curly hair. Not a typical feature for Cambodian people. I have big eyes, full lips, and compared to Cambodian women I am super tall. When I visited Cambodia, I noticed that most of the women and teenagers I saw were short, had straight hair, and were very delicate looking, where as I am tall and muscular. I also noticed that I am a lot darker than a lot of the Khmer people, which makes me wonder if my biological father was of another race because I look nothing like my mother; not there’s anything wrong in looking different, I just wonder.

Personality wise, I would say I am a very outgoing person (My English teacher Mr. Lee would totally agree with this.) I am very loud, which is sometimes a good thing and not so much of a good thing. Being loud is good for when I want to be heard, but sometimes I’m too loud when I don’t need to be. Oh well, at least I’m being heard. When I say I’m an outgoing person, I mean that I do or will do or say things some people might think I’m weird for doing, but I like being eccentric. 

What I love to do in my free time is to PLAY SPORTS!!! I am an athlete. If I am not in school or at home, I am usually somewhere else playing a sport. My favorite sports are soccer, volleyball and basketball. If you count dancing as a sport, I am also a dancer. Soccer and volleyball are my top sports. My school, Saipan International, has a volleyball league every school year and every year I join. We train and then play other schools. I love playing the school league because I get to play and compete with my classmates and friends. As for soccer, soccer is my number one sport. I probably train hardest for soccer because I love it so much. I love playing the game. Saipan has a Women’s National Soccer team that I’ve been playing with for a long time and I’m doing well and having fun. The type of dancing I do is called Tahitian. Its Polynesian dancing consisting of shaking and moving the hips. I’ve been dancing for nine years. Basketball and dancing are just sports that I do for fun and just enjoy.

 

Well, that is basically everything I know about myself! This prompt was difficult but I did it! Thank you and Have a nice day.
