Born for a Reason

Do you ever feel like you don't fit in? Like people are not going to accept you for who you really are? Like the only way to stop them is by being someone else? If yes, then you know what its like to be me.

When I was in fifth grade I used to hate myself. I was new to the U.S.A. and didn`t speak English very well. Kids at my school used to make fun of me a call me names and stuff because I was quite and VERY Innocent. I used to come home and cry myself to sleep. I hate that feeling. I wanted to change myself so badly. I wished I could be so many weird things. Like I wished I had blond hair and blue eyes. Well, like everything, fifth grade came to an end and I graduated from elementary school and was off to middle school.

Sixth grade was AWESOME! I found/made a little group of people who I could call friends. People who I could trust and know wouldn`t make fun of me behind my back. I was so happy. This all happened because I didn`t become someone else. I believed in who I was and stuck to it.

I mean who are you trying to fool? It might work on your friends, your teachers, even your parents but to you, you would always be the same. Face it, you can`t run away form yourself and you shouldn`t have to because you are who you are because of a reason. All these things in the world like Plastic Surgery and stuff are things to distract us from our main goal.

People say thing to you and you should never let that stand in the way of who you are. Its wrong to change yourself because you are unique. You were born a original. Don`t become a copy. Why live to please others? I mean its your life. It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are. Enjoy who you are. Don`t hate yourself for who you aren`t.
