The Day I Figured Out That No One Is Perfect
�
Once there was a girl in my class that I thought was
beautiful and smart. I believed that she was perfect. When
it came time for my birthday, I invited her to my party, and
she came.
A few months later, it was her birthday. I got her a
special necklace for her birthday. I was so excited thinking
about how happy she would be to receive my gift.
I asked her when her birthday party was going to be.
She replied, "Why do you want to know? You're not invited.
You're just a dork with glasses!"
I felt really bad when she said that. I just stood
there looking at her. Everyone standing by her came to stand
next to me. Then we all left.
That day I figured out that even if someone looks
perfect, there is a very good possibility that they aren't!
When it comes to perfection, it's how someone treats you
that is more important than how they look.
