Snowflakes

So I wrote this for my school newspaper. I don't know if it will be published or anything, but I am submitting it anyway! Let me know what you think!

Snowflakes line the sky in winter time, or at least we wish they did in Oregon. However, if you take the time to examine each snowflake you will notice that everyone is just a little different. They might be similar, but never the same.

Such is the human race. But let’s narrow it down to Springfield High School only. Have you ever felt like your nothing in this huge mass of people we like to call high school? Sometimes it’s like no one cares about you, except you. And when it gets to that, it’s feels like, what’s the point?

Here’s the point, everyone is special, everyone is different, and everyone can make a difference. No one can be you, except you.

It’s like every person is a snowflake. Each one is very different, but when all combine together, it makes the most beautiful landscape, that can just take your breath away.

Sometimes it is easy to compare ourselves to each other. Maybe you look at someone who is better than you at something, and jealousy races in. But would you really change places with that person?

This winter season, as shoppers go crazy, and parents stress themselves out, the challenge is, to appreciate who you are. Find your place in the mass of snowflakes that will hopefully be lining the ground on Christmas morning.

Learn to enjoy who you are, knowing that you are the only one who can truly be you. Every person at Springfield High School is special, and each one has a special purpose in making our landscape beautiful.
