A message from a Year 6 pupil
Whether you are fat, tall, skinny, short, young, or a different colour, we are all people. Lift each other up and encourage one another, support each other. If your friend has a dream or a goal, encourage them; make it happen. Text them saying, “ I believe in you!” or write them a note saying, “You can do it!”
Don’t put other people down because what do you get out of it? NOTHING!
I don’t know about you, but I am always looking to improve myself and be a better person than I was before. I just keep updating. Don’t forget perfection does not exist and we live in such a small world.
No matter what your appearance, just be yourself and embrace the things you don’t like about yourself; they are natural and no-one is perfect. You have what is inside you. Remember, don’t judge a book by its cover. You are handcrafted to be who you are and you’re beautiful just the way you are, change yourself for no-one, only grow and evolve to become a better you.
