What does it mean for someone to look different?
It would be boring if we all looked the same. -The variation in people's appearances, but also in their personalities, is what gives life so much vibrancy and beauty. You might wish you could change something about yourself; you may recognize other people don't look like you.
But remember there is one superpower out there that you don't have to be irradiated in a lab or bit by a spider to have - it is the only superpower that can be taught and learned - the superpower of kindness. The magic of kindness has the power to change someone's life, which means you have the power to change someone's life. If you have never tried out your superpower, today is the day!
If you're dyspraxic, you might struggle with things like balance, being messy or breaking things, or even spatial awareness. But dyspraxic kids also have lots of talents and strengths.
