Room 15 Memoir Writing

10/10/2025

 
Snip! Snip! Snip! My big, insanely huge mullet was drooping to the ground and looked like feathers. I looked down at the big pile of hair. Surprisingly this was turning out to be one of my best hair cuts ever. I walked in the door at home. Mum looked at my new hair cut. “Amazing” she said.

I was chewing away on my sandwich when I felt one of my teeth wiggling around in my mouth. Then … Pop! My tooth came out! When I looked into the mirror I suddenly felt really weird. I saw the gap in my mouth and how it made me kind of look a bit goofy. 
That night I tucked my tooth under my pillow and slept. In the morning the tooth had been replaced with a gold, shiny coin under my pillow.

I sat down in my set and heard the plane roar like a lion. I snapped my seat belt in place as I felt the plane start to move. The plane lifted into the sky like an eagle. As I looked out of the window, I saw the world below me disappear. 
When we landed I didn’t want to get off, but I also wanted to explore a new country.

It was a school holiday and me and Nan were at Grandads when all of a sudden… Pop! Spring! My tooth was hanging by a thread from my mouth (a root). A whole lot of blood started gushing from the area. I started crying. Then Nan told me how I would get money. This cheered me up.

I sat on a chair in the kitchen with a cape wrapped around me. Snip! Snip! Snip! My hair drifted down to the floor, including all of my baby hair. When I looked up at the mirror I did not recognise myself. All I could think was maybe change is a good thing.

I knew it was time for a hair cut because my fringe was coving my face. I wasn’t scared because I knew what I wanted. The worst part was knowing it would take an hour. My Mum was so excited because she thought my hair looked like a mop! When I looked up at the mirror I was shocked by how short it was but at least it looked good. Looking back this was probably my best hair cut I have ever got. I can’t wait to go back as I know I won’t be scared like I used to be.
