True Beauty, page 6

Before they knew it, it was time for Erikah to go back home. We’ll miss you.” Aunt Kay said as she hugged Erikah goodbye. “Now you be sure and come visit us again soon, ya hear?” Erikah smiled. “Oh I will.” She said.

As she walked up the path to her house, Bridget popped her head over the fence. “Erikah, you’re back!” She said cheerfully. “I really missed you!” “I missed you too, Bridget. Ask your mom if you can come over to my house and play.” That afternoon the two of them had lots of fun playing together. “I should have done this ages ago.” She thought to herself.

Back at her own school the following day, Erikah’s English teacher asked the students to write an essay on an important lesson they had learned. “Oh, this is an easy one!” She thought as she began scribbling away. Something I have learned is that how you act is far more important than how you look. Most people tend to avoid people with disabilities, and try to be like the pretty and popular people, but that’s not how it should be at all. The world would be a friendlier place if everyone followed the golden rule; do unto others as you would have them do unto you. God is the author of that rule, and He wants us all to follow it. I used to just try to fit in with everyone else and be just like them, even if what they were doing is wrong. But then I learned that we should only follow those who are doing what God wants them to.

THE END. (Unless I decide to write more someday, which I might. But it could be a few years.) ^.^
