When I asked my moon why I was so short when I was 7 years old, she explained that I have a medical condition called dwarfism(侏儒症)。

At first, I was very sad. I wanted to b tall, mainly because of the way people reacted to me. Kids would say mean stuff, like, “It’s weird how you’re so short.” In elementary school, whenever classmates would bully(欺侮)me, I’d run away cry.

Life outside school can also be tough. At the local amusement park. I’m not tall enough to go on all the rides, so sometimes I have to sit on the sidelines while my friends have fun.

I’m now in the seventh grade, and I’m four feet two inches tall. And you know what? It doesn’t matter! My height no longer bothers me like it did when I was little. I met a girl at school named Nevach, who is my best friend, and she has helped me realize that it’s not what’s on the outside that matters-it’s what’s on the inside.

Nevaeh doesn’t even mention my height when we hang out. In fact, if people tease us about being short (she’s only six inches taller than I am) , we’ll make jokes, like, “We’ re not short. We’ re fim-sized!” I refuse to let unkind people get me down. I’d rather turn something cruel into something funny, laugh it off, and move on..

   One of my favorite things to do is prove people wrong. Take basketball, for example. Since it’s a sport associated with tall people, I was determined to play. And for almost two full seasons, I didn’t make a single basket! But then, during a game last year, I stole the ball from a girl. I got to take two free throws. It was amazing. Everyone cheered. The experience made me realize that if I can score baskets, I can do anything.

   I’m not going to let my height get in the way of achieving my dreams.
