- A time when I felt significantly different from everyone else was in second grade when the kids were told to wear a blue shirt for a special day. I never remembered anyone telling me that because I probably was sick that day. When I came to school that special day, I saw every single kid in a blue shirt, except for me. I was wearing a red shirt, the best color for standing out. I felt horrible I didn’t know what to do! I thought maybe one of my friends had a sweatshirt or something, but none of them did. I got so mad and I was extremely embarrassed. I hated myself that day, it was the worst day of my entire life. - “Am I missing something?” I thought angrily. What could I have done to change it? “Maybe I should call my mom to pick me up? Maybe I should just hide in the bathroom for the rest of the ceremony. ” I couldn’t take much more. I asked my self, “What did I do wrong? I was just sick.” I thought. Nothing was my answer. I didn’t do anything wrong. Maybe I could just think of a way to prevent it next time. I should start listening better, asking what I missed at school the day I was sick. Those are the things I should watch for, to prevent embarrassment, and hating myself for being irresponsible.
