29、ecycle them. In this way we will be able to achieve two important goals at the same time. We will reduce the waste we produce and help others.

34、uestions, I shook the boys hand and left.My life as a little person is filled with stories like that.

36、limb the school bus stairs.But I learned to smile and accept the fact that I was going to be noticed my whole life. I decided to make my uniqueness an advantage rather than a disadvantage. What I lacked in height, I made up for in personality.Im 47 now, and the stares have not diminished as Ive grow
37、n older. People are amazed when they see me driving. I try to keep a good attitude. When people are rude, I remind myself, “Look what else I have a great family, nice friends.”Its the childrens questions that make my life special. I enjoy answering their questions. My hope is that I will encourage t
