Everyone is different or unique in a way.  My difference is that I’m short and nothing can change that.  There are some times in my life when I just want to be tall, and there are other times I am happy the way I am.  I always remember that G-d made me this way and […]

Hi my name is Aiden Gifford.  The first thing I’m writing about is my asthma.  When I was really little I had an asthma attack, a bad one I had to go to the hospital.  The people told my parents I had asthma. Since then, a have not had any severe asthma attacks.  Thankfully, I […]

My difference is my English accent.  It may not sound like much, but in 1st and 2nd grade it was a big deal.  It is not as strong as it used to be, but I still kind of have an English accent. When I was in 1st and 2nd grade, people started to make fun of my accent.  They […]

Hi, my name is Madison and this is my story. My hands are different and I used to get bullied in elementary school. They would call me a pirate and say “ARG!!!” and make a little hook with their hands.  I would tell the bus driver about it and they said that they should sit […]

I am different because I no longer have grandparents.  It is very emotional for me because I did not get to meet my Grandpa on my mother’s side.  When I was five years old my Grandma passed away from leukemia cancer.  Both of my father’s parents died on the same day when I was very […]

My difference is that I am a lot taller than other kids my age.  Some people used to tease me about my difference.  I have learned that my difference can help me sometimes also.  I will tell you a bit about it! Here is some advice about having a difference: One time when I went […]

My name is Aaron.  A difference about me is that I stutter.  When you stutter, your speech gets stuck and you can’t talk so well.  It sort of sounds like s-s-salt.  Salt is not a word I am likely to get stuck on, but I do know many other words.  Thankfully, I go to speech […]

When I look around the house I see two of everything.  Two beds, two computers, two closets, two pillows and even two binders!  Everything is double, even two kids—twins!  I am different than other kids because I am a twin.  My twin sister, Jessica and I go through life together, hand in hand.  But being […]

For Don’t Hide It Flaunt It, I am writing about my disease.  My disease is mastosytosis.  This causes me a lot of pain.  Sometimes I wake up in the night and it feels like I have a metal bar on my foot.  When that happens, I take a pill and put on lotion. Every day […]

I have a difference. Sometimes in the summer, I get over heated really, really easily. My face gets bright red and I get sick. I have to be very careful about what I do.

I always drag myself to the bathroom to brush my teeth in the morning. There are mirror doors so I can see myself. My left eye slides to the left instead of staying straight ahead. My right eye stays where it is supposed to stay. I don’t even know when it is doing it—except when somebody tells me or when I am in front of a mirror. This sticky situation is called “a lazy eye.”

My name is Zoe and this is the time I figured out I had dyslexia and I had to go to my tutor.  I was in 2nd grade and all of my friends could read short stories in their reading book in 30 minutes.  I could only read two pages in that time.  I felt weird […]

Hi, my name is Nathan.  I am nine years old, and in 3rd grade.  I have eczema.  Eczema is when you get dry skin and open cuts on your hands, feet, knees and lips.  When my feet get bad I limp.  When my hands get bad it hurts when I write.  When my lips get bad […]

Five years ago, my life was very different. Five years ago, I was treated differently.  Five years ago, I was bullied because of my one finger on each hand. I have come far since that very moment. I hid behind a tree on the playground, feeling embarrassed about my physical difference. I saw about eight […]

I have always wondered what makes me, Me!  All the things I am someone else is too.  Then I realized that my whole life I never talk in a loud voice.  When you first meet me, I speak to you in a quiet voice until I get used to you.  It takes me a couple […]
