介绍:
As a teenager, i felt i was always letting people down. Once i left home to hitch-hike with my friend. The trip wasn’t easy, and there were many times i didn’t feel safe. One situation in particular kept me grateful to still be alive. When i returned home, i was different, not so outwardly sure of myself.
I was happy to be home. But then i noticed that my friend was wearing my clothes. And my family seemed to like her better than me. I wondered if i would be missed if i weren’t there. I told my mom, and she explained that though my friend was a lovely girl, no one could replace me. I pointed out, she is more patient and is neater than i have ever been. My mom said these were wonderful qualities, but i was the only person who could fill my role. She made me realize that even with my faults, and there were many, i was a loved member of the family who couldn’t be replaced.
Each of us holds a unique place in the world. You are special, no matter what others say or what you may think. So forget about being replaced. You can’t be.
