Many kids think they are too common. They think they are not the prettiest or the smartest. At the same time, they think they are not the ugliest or the silliest. Everyone feels that way, especially in middle school. Sometimes kids don’t know how special they are. When they see outstanding athletes(优秀运动员) or cool pop stars, they often think: Am I outstanding? What am I going to be when I grow up?
It’s part of growing up. Growing up means understanding what you can do and what you can offer the world. When you are young, you don’t see that. But when you get older, you may know that just by being yourself, you do offer something to other people.
Maybe you aren’t the best, but that doesn’t make you “not special”. Do yourself a favor. Think about your friends. Write down some things that you like about them. Think carefully about why you are friends then you will know that though they aren’t the smartest or the prettiest, they are great in their way. And they feel just the same as you!
In fact, it is great to be the best at something, but it’s OK if you can’t be the best. If you just live your life and try hard, you are still pretty amazing. And you can make your dream come true.
