I've always been different. There's no one out there in the world that's the same as me. I always thought that this was a bad thing and though others did too. Other people didn't really understand me much. You see the boys always out doors running around and playing football, whilst I would be indoors doing something creative. As a child, I was obsessed with dancing. I used to go to Street Dance classes. My family and friends always mentioned how good I was at dancing. I remember that I used to love dancing so much that I was making dance shows in my house. From a young age I would invite over my cousins and put on a show!

A couple of years after that I got into photography were I would just take pictures of random things. My family always told me how good I was at it. At first I didn't really pay attention to them, but it wasn't until a few years ago when my friends also started telling me that I have a gift in photography. Since then I stared making photo shoots of me and sometimes my sister and friends. I enjoy taking photos and editing them, but recently, I stopped taking photos. These last two months I started getting an interest in videography, were I just sit down and turn the camera on and just talk to the camera about topics that I find interesting. I really do enjoy making videos and editing them. So far, allot of my friends tell me at school, or message me, saying how much they've enjoyed watching my videos and when I hear this, it just makes me so happy! Yes, there are some people that don't like the idea of me making videos and just want me to stop. But the truth is that it's my life not there's and if I like making videos and others like watching them. Why should I stop just because a small number of people don't like me getting all the attention? All this is making me start to think that being different isn't a bad thing! If anything, I love being different and I believe that everyone is different in there own way and that they shouldn't be embarrassed of it - even if some people don't like you for who you really are.
