Be yourself!

Its ok to be different. It makes everyone unique. If everyone was the same it would be a very boring world. I personally love meeting new people, because I love to talk to them and find out what they like and dislike and what's interesting about them. Two days ago I went with my best friend to this meeting about her going to Jordan, as her, her sister and 3 other boys were chosen to represent Australia.



We had never met the boys before and we didn't know what to expect, but whenever I get to meet new people I see it as an opportunity to make new friends. The guys we met were very cool! One was in grade 10 and he was a composer who had never learnt how to play piano, but his compositions blew me away! The one in grade 9 was quite quiet, but he was an amazing tap dancer-which makes him instantly cool! The third boy was in grade 8 (I know what your thinking-grade eight like eww) but he was really funny so I got along with him quite well too!



I love the way I am. The uniqueness that is me, Stefanie. I love how everyone has the power to be different and have there own opinion. I am quite stubborn which is one of my bad points, but now that I have accepted that I am naturally stubborn I can control it, and focus on more of my good points. I have a creative mind, I believe, which helps me with what I'm good at.



Last night someone complimented me one being good at music, and I usually don't take compliments very well, but I just said thanks, because I realized everyones good at different things, so its ok. This boy then went on to say that he could not do any type of music at all, but I believe everyone has music within them, they just have to find the right instrument.



Overall, I love talking to people, and taking interests in what they say. Everyone has a different story to tell, so next time you meet someone, take the time to listen to there tale. I bet its like none you've ever heard before.
