Day 5

For the first thirteen years of my life, I never thought about what made me special. I always thought of myself as different and instead of that being a positive thing, I thought of it in a negative way. During the last three years of my life, as I have walked through hard times and joyful times, I have found what makes me special.

One of the things that makes me special is that I always try to do the right thing; I never waver from God. Even when I don't know what to do, I choose God over and over again. I also stick to what I feel called to do. In any situation in life, I listen to where I feel called to be.

I also now see that I am special because I am different. There will only ever be one of me! I want people to see me as different and know that I am not like everyone else. Over the last three years, I found my voice, and I am able to stand up for what is right. I bring the light and not the dark. I am the head and not the tail. I am made for a purpose. That’s what makes me special!
