Dear Ariella B.,

I feel like I never apply myself. I don’t do math or learn any extra languages or play music or write poetry or do anything special. I feel, like, so unspecial, I don’t know how to improve.

Singed (See? I can’t even spell properly),

Plain Jane

Dear Plain Jane,

You have to ask yourself what is more important, learning something and feeling good about yourself or staying on the couch and watching TV the whole day? Remember the famous Ariana Grande; she decided to get off the couch and start singing and look how that turned out (she is now famous)! That could be you; just get up and work hard.

Achieving something good only happens through hard work. Don’t try and you will achieve nothing. A famous person said: “Don’t ever doubt yourself or waste a second of your life. It’s too short and you’re too special.” Guess who said that? Ariana Grande herself!

Until next month,

Ariella B.
