My Résumé

At school they asked me to write my résumé but I didn't really understand what I was supposed to do or what I was supposed to write. Then thank goodness my classmates explained it to me and I got it—I need to write down the things I can do so whoever reads it knows what I can do and can tell me what I should be doing.

But I didn't know where to even start, so I asked my classmates what to write and they told me, "First describe what you're like." So I wrote that I'm beautiful but then I erased it because that doesn't count—they have to tell me that. But I wrote that I'm short because I am short and I have really long hair but it's brown. And my hair is very pretty.

Then I wrote that I'm very proud of myself because I can do just about everything and whatever I commit to doing I want to do it well, so whatever they ask me to do I know how to do it. I also wrote that I'm kind to everyone even though sometimes when I get in one of my five-minute moods I don't say hello but it's not that I'm mad at people—it's just that my little brain goes a bit off on its own. But then if I notice I go back and say hello and I'm kind.

Then they told me I should also write down the things I like to do: I like to play soccer, I like to do rhythmic and artistic gymnastics, I like going to the White Hands choir.

But now we can't do anything because they told me Conte is gone and there's someone called Draghi now. I don't know if this guy who is friends with Mattarella—the same way I'm friends with Mattarella—will let me do these things or not, because otherwise I might get mad because then we won't make any progress.

What do I write in my résumé that I can do these things if they don't let me do them? This isn't fair and I hope my résumé is done well and that they let me do lots of things because I really want to be together with people. Enough of being stuck at home. Anyway I'm not doing online school because I go to school every day. There!
