Come to think about it, I never quite was like the other kids. As I grew older I begun to realize this. Up until recent, I was beginning to give away my true gift. I wanted to brainwash myself, I wanted to be the typical teenager next door. I realized, not long ago, that it's not a mere coincidence that everyone tells me I am smart, and I am different.

I viewed the word 'different' in a negative way. However, I realized one thing.

You are not remembered for how much sexually active, attractive, jealousy-inducing, "cool" you are. Not in the positive light anyway.

You are remembered for doing good. That's it. If you manage to make someone's day a little brighter, they will remember you for your deed. Maybe for a life time.

Talking about me, I don't understand why I would trade my gift of being unique and actually passionate about science and willing to work hard to achieve the title of "Dr." and even harder for doing something for the sake of humanity (and also science), just because some ordinary guy thinks I am all the words I don't want to say? Why, because I am different? It does not matter what he thinks. Whenever I think about it, I think I know why he feels this way - Because he is programmed to think 'different' means 'to prey on'


To hell with his opinion. And if I have to fight for my life in any case, I will.

Remember, you are remembered for brightening someone's day. Not in the shallow sense, which an evil person can do for sure. But by that, I mean brightening in the sense of touching their heart and soul with both your biological and spiritual hands. A little kindness is the key to that.
