If you could send one message you learned about life to every person in the world, what would it be? 10 months, 2 weeks ago
Dear Global Readers
What did you want to be when you grew up? A doctor? An astronaut? Maybe a police officer? When I was little, I always said I wanted to be a “typer girl” or a pediatric nurse. But, as I grew older, I realized that I really just wanted to be myself. I was always bullied and gossiped about in school whenever I stuttered during prayer before lunch or when my best friend and I had a secret handshake or when I said I love the Titanic (1997) film. From the music I love to sing to the company I keep, someone always had something to say about it. But, after so long, I learned to ignore those who didn’t like the real me and just focused on those who loved me for me. My advice to is: JUST BE YOU! I always introduce myself as a proudly weird person because I would rather just be myself than someone I’m not. So just remember, always be yourself and don’t ever let anyone tell you any different!

Shay, you sound like such a fun person! I like some “weird” things too, and it just adds to our personalities. You are so right that we just need to be ourselves and not let the opinions of others influence us one bit. By the way, I love Titanic too. “My Heart Will Go On” is stuck in my head on the regular. Thank you for sharing!
