Nothing Wrong with Difference

-David, Sonoma 

I’ve always been different from all of my classmates or my peers. I’ve been called different for a lot of things, whether it was because of my childhood or the things I do or how I do them, and even what I’ve been through. 

The way I talk is a big one. I have been around a lot of “hoodlums” and I talk a lot of slag. I talk a little bit different, as people have told me a few times. I’ve had a lot of traumas as a young minority. Hung around different people my whole life, but not all people have been through the same things I’ve been through or even done the things I’ve done. 

Everyone is different in their own way. Also, there is nothing wrong with being different than others. It took me a long time to realize that and not take it for granted. I try to tell others that I won’t make fun of them over their childhood or their past. 

Anyway, that’s all that I have to write today. Have a good day or night, thanks for reading this.
