When I was a child, I never thought that it would be like this today. I thought that I am normal just like everybody else; I never thought that I would be like this; I never thought that my life would be like this. As I grew older, I feel that I’m different from everybody or should I say that I was just really born extraordinary. I knew to myself that there’s nothing really wrong about me, but for others, it has been a very big issue. Bisexuality or Homosexuality, whatever they want to call it, all I know is that the goodness of the person doesn’t reflect to what classification of gender he falls into we should look a person as a person itself and not his gender, for as long as he knows the value of life and knows how to value himself. They say that it’s a sin to be like this, and I say, “How come? For as long as I don’t do something sinful.” Don’t you think that it would be much of a sin if a “straight” man is having an affair with other woman aside from his wife? Or you would be much of a sinner if you judge a person excruciatingly?

Recently, there was this incident happened at school wherein I really felt bad; there are actually a lot of incidents regarding my sexuality. And these people made me to come up with this essay. But this incident hurts me the most, there was this one time when the person I thought would understand me better than anyone else here in this world started me to make feel that there’s something really wrong about me. She made me feel that I don’t deserve this career that I don’t deserve to be a future Educator. She told me in front of a numerous people in the class that I might have a hard time landing for a job because of my being me. I understand her being straightforward and her concern about me. But it’s definitely not about the gender; it’s about your capacity and your sense of responsibility that they’ll look at when you apply for a job. This wrong notion has been my primary reason why I made this essay. I’m really having a hard time carefully thinking what I should or shouldn’t write just to make my essay neutral for people with various kinds of personalities and beliefs. I’m really afraid what would be their reactions once this was already posted in our bulletin board at school. It’s really hard to live in this world full of fallacies; it’s really hard to deal with people’s ignorance. I guess it’s better to keep your mouth shut and give the impression that you’re stupid than to open your mouth and remove all doubts. My family and friends love me, I don’t have to explain myself to them because I don’t really need to, and one thing, All I know is that I’m SPECIAL. Deal with it!
