It Gets Better Project

Each of us has a hero inside us and a uniqueness that we may not see at first, because we are so concerned with “fitting in.” We may have a different walk or talk, a different way of learning, a physical appearance that doesn’t match others’ expectations, or a different way of expressing ourselves. In time, in my own experience, I learned to celebrate my uniqueness, cherish who I am as a human being, and act out of love and compassion for my fellow human beings. And, to borrow my mom’s saying, “I make everywhere I go better, because I was there.
