We’re All Different in Our Own Ways

 Albert Einstein, Thomas Edison, Harriet Tubman, and Abraham Lincoln went off to do great things because they were different. If everyone was exactly the same the world would be filled with robots. Everyone is different and who are we to judge another’s uniqueness. We were made to be different in our own way so we can stand out and shine.

You should never judge a book by its cover you should try reading a page or two. I, too, believe that we’re all different in our own ways because we were all created to be different. If everyone was the same we would live in a repetition world and we copy what everyone else is doing. I don’t like the fact of teasing or bullying someone because their different. There are famous people who are known because they did great things and people thought they were weird because they had strong feelings about something. We all have our own opinions about different things, It’s called having freedom of speech. Everyone should be respected for being different with the understanding that we are all different in our own way.

An essayist for This I Believe has a similar position.  According to Joshua Yuchasz, in the essay, “We’re All Different in Our Own Ways,” imagining everyone being the same, which would make the world boring. Don’t judge someone because their different just embrace it and allow them to be who they are. In elementary school Joshua realized he was different than normal kids. He was teased because of being interested in snakes and lizards and always getting in trouble with the teacher for not paying attention. Joshua was getting teased in middle school for being interest in Godzilla. The students treated him different for knowing scientific facts and being smart. Just because someone is different does not give anyone the right to tease, taunt, or disrespect a person’s self-interest because being different is what makes a person unique.

Next time, you judge someone because they are different try and see why this person is different and accept it or even embrace it.
