Everyone is different. There is nobody in the world who is the same as you. You are unique! Everybody is different from everyone else. That is good, because it makes the world an interesting place. There are people taller than you, and shorter than you. Maybe your hair is the same color as your friend’s hair, but maybe it is longer than hers. Another difference is that your hair may be straight, and hers may be curly. I’m sure you have some friends who are smarter than you. And you also have some friends who are as good at sports as you. But there are also people around you who are not good at some things. What does your best friend look like? Do you both like to finish your homework at school? Do you both want to wear the same clothes every day? I think in some ways you are the same, but in many other ways you are different. So say loudly to the world, “I am who I am—I’m unique!”
