         Many  people  ask  me  about  one  of  the

         scars  on  my  forehead.  This  gruesome
         incident  happened  when  I  was  in

         preschool. I was just five years old at the
         time and my favourite movie was Captain

         America.  I  had  never  seen  any  of  the
         Captain America movies before so I was

         really excited.  I  mainly wanted  to  watch
         the movie with my father because of the

         name. I am from the U. S. A and I really
         wanted  to  watch  it  because  it  had  the

         word  “America”  in  it.  We  planned  to

         watch  the  movie  in  Labim  Mall.  My                my curly hair. My mother
         brother  couldn’t  join  us  as  he  was              insisted  that  we  had  to  take  a  photo

         workers that I was six years old because              to  represent  the  American  flag  colours,

         how  devastated  I  would  be  if  I  couldn’t        Once in the car, I kept on babbling on and
         watch  the  movie.  We  had  planned  to              on  about  how  excited  I  was.  When  we

         watch  this  movie  a  week  early.  Every            entered the theatre my eyes blew up with
         second  I  got,  I  was    babbling  on  about        excitement, I saw three different theatres

         how excited I was to watch the movie. By              and popcorn stands and food stands and
