My Future Career

I want to be so many things when I grow up, but the main thing is being a special effects artist. My dad took me to a makeup convention for movies and I saw people get changed into creatures and I saw the models that the artists made and I thought it was so cool. I've always liked doing makeup and I thought it would be cool to do other people's makeup for a sci-fi or horror movie.

I also want to do hair too. I want to design and produce costumes. This all started when my baby sister and brother was born. I want to make costumes for them to dress up in and during Halloween, I can make their costumes and do their makeup if they really want something cool. I just want them to have the best time.

Free Choice: A Wishful Star

A Wishful Star

I sat on my bed gazing out of my window, looking at the night sky. The stars were twinkling against the inky, black canopy. I blocked out the trees and buildings and pretended I was in deep space. Just as I was about to lie down and fall asleep, a streak of brilliant bright light beamed through the sky. It fell out of sight, leaving me dazed on the side of the bed. After a few seconds of stunned silence, I remembered to make a wish. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.

            “I wish I had angel wings.” I said, trying to make my voice sound clearly as possible.

            At first nothing happened, but then I felt a searing pain between my shoulder blades. As suddenly as it started, the pain ceased. I could feel something feathery and strong connected to my back. I flapped my new appendages and could feel the cool air rustle my feathers.

            I got off my bed and ran to my mirror. I was unbalanced and slow because of the new weight. I looked at the mirror and saw golden-white wings protruding from my back. I stared in disbelief. I flapped my wings and saw that the reflection did so too. I smiled.

            This couldn’t really be happening, I thought, but there’s only one way to test it out.

            I strode over to my window and slid the glass open, engulfing myself in clean jasmine-scented air. I leaned out the window and looked down at the grass one story below. I then sat on the windowsill with my legs dangling outside the window. I took three deep breaths to prepare myself for the jump. My heart was pounding and my brain was screaming at me, saying this was a bad idea. After a few minutes of stalling, I jumped.

            I flapped my wings as hard as I could. I plummeted towards the ground, my wings slowed down the fall, but I still fell hard, twisting my ankle at an odd angle. The sharp pain of my sprain stabbed my ankle.

            “Danmit,” I hissed between my clenched teeth.

            I gingerly got up and supported my weight on my good leg. I looked up at the full moon with pleading eyes. I stretched my wings at their fullest length and flapped them. My feet left the ground a few inches. Excited, I flapped my wings harder until I was leveled with the treetops. Harder and harder I flapped until my house was as big as a quarter below me. I savored the feeling of the cool air whipping at my face. I tucked my wings in and dived head first. When I was a few feet from hitting the ground, I leveled my wings out, making me glide soundlessly. I pulled myself upwards and flew above the houses with the full moon illuminating my golden-white wings.

Jurassic Park and Black Butler

I think I told you how much I like Jurassic Park. I like both the book and the movie, but I think that the book is better. Like, a lot better. It takes a while for the book to get interesting. The first hundred pages are the story builder. They talk about how the dinosaurs are cloned and all the complexities of running a zoo full of prehistoric dinosaurs. It takes a while, but when the electricity goes out and the T-Rex gets
free, things really start to get very interesting.

Another thing that I really like is manga and anime. I love Japanese art. My favorite manga is Alice in the Country of Hearts. I recommend it to anyone who likes manga and a good complicated love fix. My favorite anime is Black Butler. The chemistry between Ceil and the demon butler, Sebastian, is just fascinating. I recommend that to people who like dark and mysterious anime.

Favorite Hobby

Something that I really like to do is read. Reading is a lot of fun for me. When I read, I imagine that I'm with the characters and helping them fighting their battles. My favorite book growing up was The Bone Magician. It was a really good book. My favorite book right now is Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton. I like how suspenseful it is and I really like the dinosaurs.

Another hobby that I do is writing stories and poems. When I write, I get all of the emotions that were pressed inside of me finally come out. I have a whole blog that I made so I can post my stories. I love writing. I want to take a creatives writing class when I go to college.

I really like doing art. I like how there is no right or wrong way to do art. Even though I know that, I still don't know why I get frustrated when I don't have an art piece look the way I want it to. I like to look at certain comics to get ideas and so i can copy the art style. My favorite comic is Snafu Comics. The art style is amazing. I really wish I could draw like the artist, whose name is Bleed Man.

About Me

My name is Mirai Flatten. My favorite thing to do in the whole world is art. I want to become a special affects artist for makeup. I want to do painting and drawing on the side. I want to take a computers arts class so that I can do anime and realistic animation like Pixar animation. I really like the colorful art with vibrant colors and cool shapes. I also want to design and make clothes. As you can see, I want to devote my life to art.

What inspired me to become a special affect artist and a designer and producer of clothes was because of my little brother and sister. I thought that when it's Halloween they would like to have a cool costume and makeup to go with it. I want to make my sister's prom dress and their costumes for Halloween. A lot of art I do is because of my family.
