I, James Potter, am a walking disaster.
No matter how hard I try, it's impossible for me to focus in some of my classes. Take History of Magic, for example.. Professor Binns is always getting after me about my lack of focus in his class. How would he know? He's just a ghost. Did I mention how much I like owls? They have such beautiful feathers and they're always kind to me and deliver letters to the right place.
Where was I? Oh right, I was talking about how much of a disaster History of Magic is for me. I apologize sincerely, I do tend to be interrupted by random thoughts at the worst time. It's just that I sometimes think of things that have nothing to do with what I'm doing. No one else seems to have the same problem which kind of sucks. It'd be a great time to go play Quidditch right now. The weather is all sunny and there's not a cloud in the sky. It'd be a disaster if I couldn't play Quidditch. I don't think I could handle not playing Quidditch
Speaking of Quidditch, it seems to be the only time that I can focus properly. If I focus enough on scoring points, then the random thoughts don't get to me as much, and I stay focused on the task at hand. Some of my professors hate me. They call me "undeserving to be at this institution", "unintelligent", "below average", "a walking disaster", and "dumb". Do they not think that their words hurt? Unironically, those Professors are the ones that teach the classes that I get bored in. I hope you burn forever, Professor Binns!! Even after three years, your classes are a disaster! Just like Snivelly's hair.
Sometimes teachers get annoyed by my tendency to fidget in class. I can't really control it, there's a song in my head that constantly requires me to act out the beat. That's why I'm always drumming the beat out with my feet or my fingers or hands or my legs. But does anyone else understand? No. I'm a disaster waiting to happen. Even my friends don't understand. No one else has the need to constantly move around like I do.
I hate my impulsiveness, my randomness, my need to move around constantly, and my disastrous habits. I'm just James and I'm a disaster.
Hey, thanks for reading this. This is partially based off my own experiences of ADHD and how hard it can make things for me.
