My unfair advantage?

 Well, this year has come to end and this is my last and final post. I am glad we got to finish on a good note with Dean Shareski. He is a very nice and joyful guy who enjoys life to the fullest. During his presentation he talked about something that really stuck with me. He asked us "what is your unfair advantage?". I have never thought about such thing before and wondered if I even have one. 

Every one is so unique and has had different life experiences, which means no one is the same. Everyone has that unique things that makes you who you are. We need to use this to our advantage and show it to the world. For me, I can make people smile even if they aren't having a good day. I have student taught at three different schools and each one I have been able to use this. There are some days where my students will come in feeling down and not wanting to talk. Everyone has has those days and they would rather be home than at school, where teachers are strict and all they want you to do is work, work, work. I can see these students and all I want to do is make them smile. I have been told by many of my students that if they are feeling down or if they know of someone who is not feeling the best they will bring them to me just so I can make them smile. During lunch hours, I would get multiple students who would stop by and just hang out there with me and I always wonder why and they told me that it was because they needed a reason to smile that day. I can be funny and silly and make a full of myself just to make someone smile and my students know that and they love it. I once read an article that said that if you smile even if you are not feeling the best it will lift up your mood a little. Since then I have been trying to make the world smile. Everyone has a beautiful smile and to someone that smile will light up their world so why hide it behind a frown. 

Everyone has their own unfair advantage and that's the reason they are unique. If you do not know yours yet I would recommend you find it because it can come in handy. Mine is trying to make the world a happy place but battling each frown with a reason to smile.
