Descriptive essay – object ( Mechanical Pencil )

I believe everyone have a precious pencil with significant meaning in

life .Well….the same goes to me.

It happens a few years back……

It was the typical mechanical pencil that a 12 year old girl would use with a bear

head on the tip of the cover. It was actually a welcome gift from a church Sunday’s

class .Also, it was the first time I went to a church with my friend .It was one of my

favourite mechanical pencil back then .

This mechanical pencil best describes me. Don’t ever judge a book by its cover .I

– like the pencil may look childish in appearance but then deep inside I am actually very

sensitive and fragile. It’s just like the lead of the mechanical pencil, very brittle and

would break easily even with just a light twist. Hence, it does require a lot of patience,

care and effort to maintain my emotion at all times. I have to learn to deal with other

people’s emotions though it’s not an easy task at all.

Besides that, I am also the kind of person that is easily over motivated or

stimulated up to a point where I may experience great pain or great joy. I am just like a

normal mechanical pencil, have a sharp eyes at the tips and requires the help from

others ( lead ) to be able to function properly. I admit I am not an independent kid all this

while.

Moreover, I am also unique in my own way although I may look the same compared

with the others. Due to my pleasant and outgoing nature, I can get along with others

easily .I am also someone who gather up the courage to do what’s right in times of

tough situations.

In a nutshell, I may not be any one of the expensive or special mechanical pencil but

just a common mechanical pencil among the others. However, I differ from them in

many ways too due to me having my own unique personality.
