Here’s to a special you

St Augustine’s High School,Nerul

My attitude of being positive and special comes from my family. In today’s world of nuclear family,I belong to a joint family of 16 members. We celebrate each and every festival,occasion together. Our grandparents always bless us and guide us. We enjoy each and every moment together. My family is the best of the world. Being part of such a great family makes me feel special. All my friends who are from nuclear family wish to have a family like mine,wish to enjoy each moment of their life with their cousins,wish to have friends like my parents. This makes me feel special.

I was raised in a convent church as far I can remember till now and I believe in Christ. I am a very visual person and I experience the world with my eyes. For instance,when I am not sure about the spelling of a word,I list out the possible ways of the correct spelling. Fashion is a passion in my life. I have goals but not many as I am focused mainly on school right now.

My favourite colour is purple because it is profound,red because it is passionate,blue because it is peaceful and neons because they are eccentric. I like listening to Indian rock,but I prefer Mexican music. I am 13 years old,but sometimes,I feel as if I were a 7-year-old soul.

I am 11 years old and I study in an English medium school. I am a calm person ,I do not speak much and sometimes,I may cause problems because they think I am not working hard and I do not care about my studies,but it is not true. During my free time,I like watching movies or meeting friends. If you ask me what makes me special,I am honest,I respect others who are serious,polite and who respect other people too. I dislike people who behave like little kids,who do not respect others. I think my best quality is that I can keep secrets and never give up people who trust me.

God has sent us all on this Earth with a purpose. Each one of us has a special ability within us. One can sing; one can dance; one can be a scholar or maybe one can be multi-talented. As we grow,we develop more talents,abilities and emotions. Each one of us is unique. I,for one,am devoted to my parents. It is rarely seen in teenagers. Most of them are usually busy in their own world or most are more involved in their friends’ lives.

I am a family-oriented person. I love spending quality time with my parents. I have the ability to express my emotions or thoughts. My friends say I am kind and help them whenever they are in need. I can make friends easily and I,in some way or the other,mix with others. These are the qualities which make me special.

Every person is a gift from God. I too feel special,as my parents and my friends love me and think that I am with them in hard times. They think that I am a good dancer,singer and a good sketcher. These things make me proud of myself and for the fact that I have got nice people in my life. I thank God for giving me a life like this. My teachers also help me. They guide us in the right path and provide us education. I am thankful to all my friends,parents and teachers as without them I would be nothing.

Always be proud of what you are,and you will make others proud of you.” This is a motto which everyone has to follow to come up in life,even when others are criticising you. Only when you believe that you are capable will others think the same. This is something that I believe in. I believe I am unique and have my own strengths and weaknesses. Though my life has many low points,I can overcome them. What is special about me is that there will always be only one me. When God has given me a face,why should I try to make another? I’ve got something that others don’t. I don’t need to think according to others’ opinion,as long as I am confident that what I am doing is right. So,when I am born an original,why should I die a duplicate?

‘Specialty’ is something owned by every individual. Something present in each and every thing. A drop of water becomes special for a thirsty person. So how can I not be special? A person must first feel special,and the same will the world think of him. I do the same. I feel that I am different. But if I have to name a quality,then I believe it is my heart which is true. I believe in being true to myself. If all the people in the world looked the same,they would be differentiated by their feelings,heart and love.

Each child is special as all are creations of the Almighty. He has made each one of us unique. Firstly,I am special because I am a girl. Secondly,I am special because of my talents. I have won many awards for my talents. God has given me sharp memory due to which I can always top my class. My ‘never-say-die’ attitude,self-confidence and hard work are great contributors to my success. I keep competing with myself. I am an optimist. I look upon obstacles as an opportunity. It is my character and support of elders that makes me so special.

Let me start with my childhood; I was the apple of my parent’s eyes,they made me feel special. It is under the esteemed guidance of my head mistress,teachers and my family that I became a sincere and obedient student. I was a tender sapling,that was planted at St Joseph’s High School where my teachers and head mistress nurtured me. Today,this sapling has grown into a blooming plant with all positive attributes. The platform that school provided me helped me in winning and gaining appreciation from everyone. I am loved and looked up to. I am looking forward with full confidence to prove myself a sincere,honest and productive citizen who will always be an asset for the country.

The source of motivation is what makes me different. Having diverse friends and being able to keep in touch with them no matter where they are is a wonderful feeling. I find new knowledge and value in everyone I meet and I keep that in mind. My family has been my support. I grew up in a joint family. My family taught me that I should respect everyone’s views,which later helped me in school. I thank all who all have contributed to making me special. I take pride by being appreciated from everyone for my good deeds that truly makes me feel special.

I believe if you have the ability to overcome obstacles and challenges with self-confidence,you will shine one day. Three of the most important characteristics that make me special are I have tolerance,patience,and I am kind and enthusiastic. I can wait for something without excessive frustration. When you have patience all things fall into its place. It is about self-control. Secondly caring is the most important factor to success as a human in my life. Lastly,I consider myself positive because I don’t have negative thoughts. This has helped me as a good orator. This has given me a special identity as well as name and fame in my life.

I think what I think is what makes me. The question arises what do I think and what I think is good or bad. A coin has two sides. The same way,I think my ability to take good makes me special. I think each one is special. What makes me special is that I will not be uncommon to someone. I am common,but at the same time,I am special.
