Because of this, I thought I should change myself so then I would stop getting teased. That worked for a couple weeks, then I was back to being teased. By changing myself, I wasn't being myself. Also, it caused me to just lower my own self confidence. Basically, changing yourself to conform to others won't help you.]]> 2019-08-13 14:56:53 UTC https://padlet.com/mbushie1/7y79ujvg09/wish/374331698 mbushie1 https://padlet.com/mbushie1/7y79ujvg09/wish/374331730 Right before 6th grade, in 2016, I had a YouTube channel with about 5 subscribers, and my interest for cell phones grew, I started my own collection of them. I was inspired by various YouTube channels to do this, mainly being the channels Psyche YT and Adrianisen. Seeing me then doing this, you wouldn't really know what I was doing. If you look at me now, being myself, it has really taken me far. I still collect cell phones, getting close to 200 of them, and that same YouTube channel I mentioned earlier,  MORGBORG Tech now has almost 4,400 subscribers and an audience spread over 15 countries. Me being myself this way really took me places.]]> 2019-08-13 14:57:04 UTC https://padlet.com/mbushie1/7y79ujvg09/wish/374331730 mbushie1 https://padlet.com/mbushie1/7y79ujvg09/wish/374331785 Back in 2017, as my YouTube channel was nearing 150 subscribers and my collection of  had around 65 cell phones,  my brother started to get jealous of me. This isn't the important part, but what is  is that he would envy me, my YouTube channel, and my hobby almost daily at that time.  He even started collecting his own various items that he didn't really show interest in. He eventually gave up on it. In summary, my brother wasn't interested in what he was collecting because he wasn't being himself.]]> 2019-08-13 14:57:20 UTC https://padlet.com/mbushie1/7y79ujvg09/wish/374331785 mbushie1 https://padlet.com/mbushie1/7y79ujvg09/wish/374331863 These relate to the theme because they explain the benefit of being yourself, what happens to you if you aren't being yourself, and what happens to others if they aren't being themselves.]]> 2019-08-13 14:57:39 UTC https://padlet.com/mbushie1/7y79ujvg09/wish/374331863
