Camille The Pretty Mermaid

              This is an essay I made about Camille, The Pretty Mermaid, for my English class last year. 

            Guys, do you know that feeling when the person you’re closest to suddenly hurts you? It sucks, right? Well, that’s exactly what my girlfriend, Camille Cutler, has made me feel. She’s made me feel like a failure, but with that, she has actually made me a winner, and I love her for that.

                Failing hurts. A person making you feel like a failure hurts even more. But, when you experience pain, the weakness you have inside your soul is removed. You become stronger and better. This is why Camille is my hero;  she has made me an even stronger, and better person.

                Well, how can I describe this guardian angel that I have been blessed with? First, she is my biggest critic as she never hesitates to inform me of my shortcomings. For most, this is a bad quality for a person, but this simply shows how caring and thoughtful she is of me, as this shows that she wants me to improve and get better. She is also incredibly resilient when it comes to me, as she has never given up in making me become a better person. Despite all the mistakes I have done, she’s always been there by my side. The reason why she has all of these is because of one important quality; fear of God.  That is the characteristic that I love most about her. Her being God – fearing has given her the power to be able to make me a better person for her, for my family, and most importantly, for Him.

                So, she’s made me feel like a failure, yet here I am saying that I am a winner. She’s scrutinized me because of my shortcomings, yet I claim that she’s a caring and thoughtful person. Does that even make sense? Well, I failed, I learned from my mistakes, then I got good. She criticized me, I got hurt, yet, I got good. I got better. I became greater compared to what I was before, and I really appreciate that.  Probably most of you, if not all, have been scrutinized by you parents at least once in your lives. That feeling sucks right? Your parents, the people who brought you up, bringing you done all of a sudden. The next time this happens, what will you do? Will you sulk in the corner and remain depressed? Or, will you take note of what your parents said, improve, and be even better than what you already are? Think about it.
