“One quote that really stands out to me is: ‘Be yourself, everyone else it taken’-Author Unknown” “This quote really stands out because it just helps me realize that I’m unique and I don’t need to be like everyone else. It also makes me realize, I’m perfect just the way I am. I like to think of this quote too, ‘Be a Fruit Loop in the world of Cheerios.’”
