My Amazing Differences, By Anna McNulty, 4th Grade

I have a difference. Sometimes in the summer, I get over heated really, really easily. My face gets bright red and I get sick. I have to be very careful about what I do.

It’s affected my life by having to drink more water then I used to. At soccer and lacrosse games, I have to pull myself out of the game because I get out of breath. Also, I have my advantages. I can have a break from the game as long as I need. Plus I can have ice cold water, and then warm.

Now I’m going to tell you about another difference I have. I can move my ears without touching them. I thought, when I found out, I was weird. Then I saw one of my friends could do it. Next, I showed my class. They all thought it was really cool.

Those were my two differences that I shared with you. The things that make me different are the things that make me ME!!!
