A/N: This is a short speech I had written for my assembly, on the spot with little help from my friends. Hope it helps and you like it.

Are you being yourself? Or do you feel that you are hiding your true self? If you feel that you are hiding your true self, think about why you feel that way. Is it because you don't feel confident on showing it? Or is it because of the expectations people have? Maybe the constant comparisons people make between yo and others?

All of us have the potential to be ourselves, but most of us don't use it because of what people would say or due to the fact that you have seen someone just like you being rejected by the society. Just to those people, The first step to be yourself is to accept who you are' so that no matter what happens, you don't feel dejected and are strong enough to move on.

We must make small adjustments to move on in life, but totally changing yourself just because someone else doesn't want you to be the way you are can change things drastically.

Follow your passion and do not get diverted from it just because a few people do not want you to do it and later regret it. You are unique and there is only one life - and that our own. Our life is our own story, our own movie. Don't let others direct it. Let the plot be your own and don't change it constantly.

Most importantly, I would like to say that You are born an original. Do not die as a copy.

A/N: Thank you for reading this. Please comment on how you feel about it and if you have any other topic you want me to write or go more in detail on this one , please comment.

HOPE YOU FOUND IT INTERESTING!!!!
