To be frank, I did not expect my monologue to be that good. I did not know what I was supposed to type and even though everyone said to use our free-writings, I hardly incorporated anything from those three-sentence-long paragraphs. It took me at a minimum of thirty minutes to type out the first paragraph because I did not know what to write. After that, about twenty minutes was used to type the next paragraph and so forth (that includes a bit of procrastination).

Since I did not know what to write, I decided to focus on social expectations and the usual teenage troubles, which is generally parents either expecting a lot from their children or almost completely carefree of them. At first, I thought about writing something that I do not like about that, but I decided against it since it would ruin the atmosphere of the paper. In the end, the monologue became a whole page long. Even then I was afraid it would not meet the minute-long requirement.

I suppose I can say the monologue is above average at the least because personally it sounded like a rant rather than anything.

Since I am better at randomness, here is a random painting I did in high school:
