I'm proud of being an open person that be kind and not judgmental to others just because they are different from me. I learned to accept them and ignore people who think what I think is wrong but I will not care if people judge me. I will [not]let them stand in [my] way. I will push them aside with my pride in the sky. I will be stronger than the haters. I will be the person that I am and forever will be. - middle school student, NC
