My name is London and I’m a girl. I am nine years old and my school is Margaretta Elementary. I am in 3rd grade and I am in gifted classes. My friends are Ainsley, Addy, Olivia, andAddison. I live in Ohio. My favorite teacher is Mrs.Belak.  My favorite book is Dork Diaries. I have brown hair and hazel eyes. I have two brothers, Weston and Gabe, and two sisters,Chelle and Jailynn. My favorite animal is a giraffe. I like crafts, games, dogs, school, friends, and playing outside.

I wear glasses and I am tall. My favorite color is pink. I would describe myself as funny, sweet, creative, and crazy.  My invisible difference is that I have a massive fear of clowns.

Sometimes it affects my life because I can’t go to fairs. Once I saw a clown at a fair and ran away in fear. On Halloween I saw a clown so I grabbed my dog and ran in the house because I was soscared. I can’t go to Halloweekends at Cedar Point because one time I got scared by a clown and hadto leave. I am trying to work through my fear of clowns by knowing they are fake. I also try to look atcute clowns to see if that will help me overcome my fear, sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn’t. If you are scared of clowns too and need help with it like me, try the same things I did. You can also try to meet nice clowns, look at funny clowns, or you can maybe try looking at clowns that are your favorite color.

I am learning that even though you are scared, or disabled don’t let it overtake your life. If you are scared of something try to help yourself so you can overcome it and not let it overtake you. Sometimes you might miss out on stuff from your fears and differences, but if someone is making funof you for your fears or differences you can prove them wrong and still be the best you can be. Everybody has invisible differences, not just me and you, a lot of people.

If you are getting bullied for your difference don’t be mean back, they could be getting bullied too. We need to treat everyone the same. You would not like it if somebody was mean to you, so if you don’t haveanything nice to say don’t say it. You can hurt a lot of people when you bully.
