Meet Emma

This is Emma she is seven years old she is not like all the other girls that she knows when they were all busy playing horses she was busy playing with her two brothers, and when they would laugh and say Emma why are you so strange? she would look at them and proudly say I was born this way. This is Emma she is ten years old she is not like all the other girls that she knows when they were all busy wearing dresses she was busy playing detective, and when they would laugh and say Emma why are you so strange? she would look at them and proudly say I was born this way im not going to change. This is Emma she is thirteen years old she is not like all the other girls that she knows when they were all busy trying to fit in with the crowd she was proud to stand out and when they would laugh and say Emma why are you so strange? she would look at them and proudly say I was born this way im not going to change im not looking for your approvel any way. This is Emma she is sixteen years she is not like all the other girls that she knows when they were all worried about prom she was writing poems all alone in her room. And when they would laugh and say Emma why are you so strange? she would look at them and proudly say I was born this way im not going to change im not looking for your approvel any way it is ok to be strange, This is Emma she is eighteen years old she is not like all the other girls that she knows when they were leaving high school behind and wondering what to do with their life Emma knew in the back of her mind that she wanted to write and being so strange was alright.
