The Night Owl by Mireya

The Night Owl by Mireya - January 2019 Scholarship Essay

I am most certainly a night owl. I have always been a night owl for as long as I can remember. Being a night owl has it perks, for one I get to watch all the old Disney or Nickelodeon shows. I also get to take a long hot shower without worrying about using up all the hot water. I can also clean and do whatever I need to do to make my room look good.
I believe that after I shower and take my time I become more alert which allows me to be more productive because I’m wide awake which is weird. I think that the shower wakes me up because I go from being in the warmth to being cold when I get out. Especially afterwards when I decide to do my nightly routine. My nightly routine consists of washing my face, putting on my face mask, brushing my teeth, popping some pimples, and brushing my hair. Once I'm done with this I’m done with this I’m able to listen to music and fall asleep knowing that I did everything I needed to do. I’m able to do this because of the peacefulness in my house. Trying to do everything you need to do while watching your little brother can be difficult which is why I think I stay up late and do everything.
