My name is Barrington Hall. Ever since I was a kid my mom has hooked me on Jamaican food and other kind of foreign food but my favorite will always be fried chicken. I currently attend Bronx Latin High School and I’m making my way up to college. I’m about five feet and seven inches tall. I have 3 siblings, 2 sisters and my little brother. I’m fourteen years-old, about to be fifteen in October, and I was born on October 20, 1993. My favorite color is black and red. When I grow up I want to be a writer or a construction builder. I want to be a writer because I like to make up stories out of thin air and I am really good at writing poetry and stuff like that. Once I get an idea I can expand on it all day until I literally fall asleep and forget what I was doing. If I do not become a writer or I change my mind about writing then I would like to be in the construction Industry because that’s a real contribution to a community. It gives people a place to live and build their lives from what you made.

The adjectives that can describe me are: funny, caring, combative and the lone wolf. My friends say I’m funny because of the way that I act. It can be a very serious situation and I will just come out of nowhere with a joke to ease up the tension. I got that kind of personality through hanging out with my friends because they will joke about anything, and by being with them it was a habit I picked up to make a joke at an inappropriate time. I’m also a very caring person because I have a habit of seeing a person crying and making them feel better. If I don’t know you but I see you crying, I am going to go up to you and ask what’s wrong. That’s just how I’ve always been. And I really don’t like to see my friends hurt. My friends have always been important to me so when I see them hurt, I get hurt. Then I go and solve the problem that they’re having.

By nature, I’m combative person. If I don’t agree with something I’m going to fight against it. I always speak my mind about things I don’t agree with because I don’t see them as morally right. Somebody says they want to cut down the forest, I will say something against it because that’s how I am. I could have the longest argument with someone about nothing and the only reason we arguing is because we don’t agree on a simple subject. But everybody does that so that’s not really a big deal. The lone wolf thing is the part that I express a lot. I act as if I could do everything by myself. From conflicts to school work, I’m always denying people’s help. Especially when it comes to my problems. I can easily talk about someone else’s problems and solve them, but when it comes to my problems I usually stay quiet until the person trying to solve it drops the whole conversation. It’s not that I don’t like talking about my problems, it that I don’t want anyone else to get involved when I’m having a problem. So, usually I just stay quiet about what’s bothering me until I either solve the problem or the anger comes out in one massive explosion and I take it out on the wrong person at the wrong time. It’s a really bad habit that I’m not open about what’s bothering me but that’s just how I’ve always been. I don’t like discussing the problems that pertain to me. I will help you solve your problems but I don’t want anyone else to know about mine. That’s just how I am.
