Yes. You can use any tense in a third-person narrative.
It seems to me that you are writing a descriptive essay, ather than narrative. Narratives tell stories. Check this site.

As far as I know, you can. You might want to see what Ms. Sue or another person says.
The essay is supposed to be about yourself in the perspective of someone you know. Is that narrative?
Ohh -- That changes things.
You're supposed to write about something that happened to you from the point of view of someone else.
So I can only use he and she and stuff.
Right.
Thanks so much :)
You're welcome.
