Write A Narrative Essay On Being Outsiders

Everyone is an outsider. I mean think of it. There are so many different groups of people in today’s world, that for one person to be involved in every aspect of those groups, they would have no free time whatsoever. Take a high school for example. You have the athletes, the academic group, the geeky group, and to add on to these, it is like there are sub groups as well. Some geeks like to play sports, some athletes are very intelligent, there is no one way to place them all into one specific box. Now when the term outsider arises, that can only be taken in context.

I was always insecure about something my whole life. I was scared to talk to “cool kids” because I would stumble on my words or say something dumb. I would avoid going to social events because I wasn’t good at talking with people and was afraid that I would set a bad impression when meeting new people because I never knew what to say. Sometimes I was even insecure about my appearance. Was I wearing something ugly? Is there something in my teeth? Is my hair a mess? By being afraid of what others thought of me and not being fully confident in myself, I was showing insecurity.

In Oklahoma, where there are bloody rumbles and serious crimes made here in this big city, but there is a tiny sixteen year old boy living in the middle of it all, and that was me, Johnny. The Greaser was like a second home for each other. They were rough, old fashion, and have been In rumbles where breaking your arm wasn’t a serious injury, but they help another out.

She frantically wrote, drew, and marked on the plain graph paper in front of her, determined to finish what she started. Hours that felt like days passed until the girl finally lifted her pencil to examine her work. On the paper was a drawing of a CO2 car, a rail car to be exact. It was a simple design, she thought, but it would work well. She sighed, her breath hot. She was finally ready for what lied ahead of her. Her eyes drifted to the CO2 car she had just drawn.
