After recently reading this novel, I was very inspired. The protagonist of this story, Stargirl, was not a very popular teen. She dressed the way she wanted to and she sang with her ukelele at lunch. She brought along a table cloth and a flower vase to decorate her school desk with, and she passed out treats to all of the students in her homeroom. She was gentle and peaceful and she never wanted to hurt anybody. So why did the student body shun her and ignore her? They did this because she refused to conform and she wasn't afraid to be herself. I remind myself of Stargirl in some ways... I cheer for other teams and I dress the way I want to. I am hoping that after being inspired by this amazing character I will be able to take my admiration for this attitude into greater consideration and start to show a more relaxed and enjoyable side of myself.
