“The very things that hold you down are going to lift you up.”

Life lesson: Love yourself enough to accept your own flaws. Those flaws are what make us beautifully different.

Dumbo was born different than all the other elephants. All of the other elephants made fun of Dumbo for being different. Dumbo’s mother noticed and tried her best to defend Dumbo. But, sadly his mother got separated from her son.

Dumbo was sad and all alone. He started to doubt himself. He made friends with a mouse who said to Dumbo that he should not listen to the other animals. You may be different but you were born to shine. He proved to all the animals that they were wrong about him.

That is how I felt. I was born different and a lot of people made fun and said that I would never achieve anything. I started to believe them but my mom told me, you may be born different but you are meant to shine.

I worked really hard on my dreams and goals and I started to prove a lot of people wrong. I am really happy and don’t care what other people think.
