“I have a choice.
Instead of worrying what others think,
I realize no one else
can change who I am inside.
I choose to feel proud of who I am,
even if I am different.
Because each tree is valuable because
it brings something unique to the world.
I believe in myself.
I know I am exactly as I am meant to be,
like a seed who knows it is a tree,
just…not…yet.”
