affirmation

My affirmation is cowabunga. I chose cowabunga  because to me that means you should not be afraid to be who you really are. When I was in the 4th grade the girls at school would pick on me for wearing boy clothes and not girl clothes.  Some of the girls at Aim High helped me realize that you should be who you want to be. If people don't like you for who you are, then they are not your friends. I got the word  cowabunga from one of my favorite movies, Ninja Turtles!!  I was made fun of  for liking ninja turtles and other "boy stuff" like martial arts, boy shorts, boy shirts or boy shoes. The word cowabunga has a lot of meaning to me because I found a way to be my self with that phrase. It's traditional meaning is great or fantastic and we are all fantastic the way we are.  When ever I am being bullied I think of the word cowabunga and what cowabunga  means to me. That's what cowabunga means to me. T-Berg out!
