There are people who without trying to stand out end up being noticed anyway. When someone is titled as an individual who “stands out”, or someone extraordinary, they are no longer allowed to be anything else. Society will always picture these people in a specific way. They mustn't let this stereotype define who they are. Journey with me through ways we must shift our view of these situations, and change the mindset for those who shine towards understanding and accepting that of their humans as well.
Alia is a curious and creative student with a passion for discovery, learning, and creating. She has always been drawn to public speaking, finding joy in the opportunity to inspire others through her words.
