I believe in being yourself. Looking different is a way of life. I have always been a little bigger and I dress a lot different than many of my friends. Why dress the way someone wants you to dress just because they want you to be a part of their group. Well I used to dress the way people wanted me to dress, from when I got up until I went to sleep. But now I just try to live life to its fullest and be different than everyone else. One day during the television show Family Guy, the character Peter is trying to be a knight, so he is going through the training and then a guy that is the best knight in the world arrives to the scene. This makes Peter try hard. Then he realize, that he should be home with his family and then it hit me, why should I change the way I look for my friends? They should like me for me.

I believe in being yourself. I found out that if you don’t like me then it’s your problem not mine. I am not going to change for someone that won’t even know my name the next day. You should dress the way you want to dress, walk the way you want to walk, and talk the way you want to talk. If you are just like me living life on the edge then do things that some people don’t think you do. Like I went out and got a tattoo and most of my friends didn’t think I would do that, or you could do stuff like get an A on a test or read a book. Everyone has their own voice, you just have to learn how to use that voice. Some of us are quiet and some of us are loud. Just like I am.

I believe in being yourself. Do what you want. Just because you can’t talk as well as everyone around, that doesn’t mean anything. You just have to work a little harder then everyone else or you are just trying to fit in and dress the way that people want you to. You shouldn’t put a shirt on just because is fits the group that you want to join. You should put a shirt on because it fits you and it fits the way you see yourself. There is this saying I like to say to myself when someone is making fun of me and that is,” Everyone puts their pants on one leg at a time.” I say that when people try to get me to dress the way they dress. Just like I said earlier being yourself is a way of life. This saying that I have heard from my mom is going to be very important in the long run because I am going to teach my kids that. This saying is great because when someone is picking on you because you look different then they do, you can say this to yourself and it will make you feel better. This is why I believe in being yourself
