To be social,

Must I be in a room

for hours

hours

with 20 people my age?

To be friendly,

Must I have absolutely

everything

in common with

everyone

I come into contact with?

To be beautiful,

Must I be a carbon copy

of all my schoolmates?

I am social,

because the bonds I form

are tight and close

with family and friends

I am friendly,

because I love people

even though I'm not

pressed in from all sides

by them.

I am beautiful,

because I care about people

from my home

from my heart

No public school can create

things

as

this.
