The Lobotomist

     In his eyes I think he believes that he is doing good deeds. He might not know the damage he could've caused. But even though he was causing so much harm, people didn't see what he actually was doing. He actually cured some people! In his time he was treated like a hero.
    
     His grandfather was one of the greatest surgeons ever. His grandfather removed the first brain tumor from a living patient. So Freeman thought he was born to be a medical hero. He worked all his life to find a way to cure mental diseases. And so he came up with the idea lobotomy.

     What scared most people was that he did his surgeries so much that just for fun, he would do them left handed. Going around the country, surgery after surgery, would take a heavy toll on a human being. People thought that maybe he would soon develop insanity or some other mental disorder. In the last few years of his career, he went around the world and talked to his patients.

Psycho Celeb

     Mike Valley is know for picking fights against more than two or three guys at a time. Many people think he just likes to fight. But maybe there is a few more biological reasons. It is possible that he was kept away from any physical contact with other kids when he was young. Or maybe kids called him weak in school. So now he might think that if he takes on five guys all bigger than him, he then proves to himself and the world he isn't weak. Or it could possibly be something physically wrong with his brain, his amygdala to be exact. Maybe he got hit or something didn't go quite right when his amygdala was formed causing his anger and aggression to be much more sever where the littlest things set him off. One more reason might be that he is in boxing or UFC and so every time he beats someone up, he gets appraisal. His coach might be telling him he needs to win a fight making him feel that if he doesn't win he is worthless.

Me

I'm a junior in high school. I've moved a total of 11 times in 5 different cities between my two parents. I like to go snow boarding in the winter and skateboard in the summer. I also like to drive around with my brother. After high school i want to go to a tech school to become a welder and eventually become a steamfitter. I hope I don't take after my second oldest brother Jay down in Florida. He never made it past high school until he was 22.
