last year was a rough year for me I know
we all have our ups and downs let’s just
say last year was it down for me it
certainly came back from winter break
other students were bullying me because
of my size and the way it looked
I had always been proud of the way I
looked but their comments made me feel
alone and like I didn’t belong these
places where I once felt welcomed and
accepted turn into places of emptiness
this loneliness eventually turned into
anger when suits to make these comments
I react in a negative way
like really negative now let’s get this
straight
I’m not proud of the way I acted by
being grill I would trip people on
purpose and pinch the people who made
the comments then I don’t lie and say my
day was good when really I was hurting
the people who had hurt me
I felt wrong for what I was doing and I
wanted to change actually I will have
done anything to change that change came
in the fifth grade when I had the
opportunity to join an adler school club
that taught us to become leaders at our
school the group will talk about how
it’s not fair to talk about other
people’s problems and they have their
own we would also talk about how kids
have grossed each other yeah you heard
me I said roast it’s basically when kids
would make fun of each other and it was
first class as a joke
but these so-called jokes when that up
leaving scars so after I joined that
group I started to feel like I belong
somewhere again and I stopped reacting
to what others were doing to me and just
told the teachers that were around or I
was
I also started to play with other people
when I have way more friends than I used
to have it also got me to pay more
attention in class
now that I wasn’t so concerned that’s
what others thought about me I was able
to focus on my work
the changes I was making healthy not
only to fill a part of a group again but
also to become a leader in that group
now I can teach others to make a change
like I did that way they go fit that way
they can feel better about themselves to
whether wants was hate now there’s
confidence I’m working on me the best me
I can be and I challenge you to do the
same and what area of your life can you
make a change how can you stop the hate [Applause]
