Do you see yourself has living a terrible life? People looking at you weird because of the way you look? Maybe your parents are struggling to keep you and your family with the necessities that you need. You are not the only one. There is a kid named Arnold who has these similar problems. He lives on an Indian reservation and deals with challenges everyday such as bullying which has lowered his self esteem drastically. His biggest challenge is trying to find a way to make a name for himself. The current atmosphere around him is full of brainwashed people who have done nothing with their lives and will brainwash him if he doesn't get out of that atmosphere. Nobody cares about him but nobody knows what he is capable of and actually makes his dreams a reality.
As a child, we are still trying to find where we belong in this world or what we are born to do. You aren't born to do anything but do what you want. If you have a dream, chase after it. The path to achieving a dream will not always be easy however. You may have to face challenges such as bullying. There are millions of children that face bullying because of the way they look, act, or the way they express themselves. Whether people support you or not, do what you think is best. And that is exactly what Arnold in "The Absolutely True Diary of a Part Time Indian" by Sherman Alexie does. He was considered to be an outcast but with all the negative outlook on himself he still managed a way to keep pushing forward. This book talks about all the challenges Arnold goes through and how he pushed forward to live a better life. I hope you find this book encouraging and entertaining.
I like this bit of writing.
