  1. 1. You are special, just like everyone else in the world.

    2. It means that there are specific traits that make a person unique. The traits you have might differ from another, but its alright because you are special.

    3. I can apply this to my life because I feel like the things that make me unique, does not really make me unique at all. This quote reminds me that I am a person with special abilities, with a strong moral, and I am intelligent. I also have to see others as unique. Just because they are not like me, that doesn't mean that they are less than me. It just means that they are special in another way.

    When I was young, I saw that my little struggled at school. I thought that she wasn't smart as I was, and that she wasn't skilled at all. As I grew older, I saw the things that made her unique. My little sister is very honest, kind, and a hard worker. She turned her grades from 2s to 3s and 4s. I also recognized that her memory skills were better than mine, and I felt happy to see that my sister had something that I didn't have.

  2. 1- What does this say? (1-2 sentences) Its says everyone is unique.

    2- What does this mean? (2-3 sentences)
    It means that everyone is unique. That no one is the same and that's why we're similiar.

    3- Why does it matter or how can you apply this to your life? (2-3 paragraphs)

    ~~It matters because no one is the same. We are all very diffrent from one another in many wasy like looks, intelligance, and personality. Even identical twins are diffrent they may look the same but are two completely diffrent people. It also is a contradiction the fact that one person is diffrent from another like everyone else is.

    ~~You can apply this to life because life is a competition. Even if we don't realize it, it is still a race, and everyone is bringing something diffrent to the table. Since everyone is diffrent we have to show people that we are special that we stand out because of our diffrences. We all have to compete with other people for everything, jobs, sports, and even college.

  3. 1. You are just as special as everyone else in the world.

    2. Mead is trying to say that everyone is considered special and has the ability to do something unique. Whether it is a personal quality or a certain talent, you will always be unique for having these personal qualities or certain talents.

    3. This quote matters to me because I feel that I am a unique person myself. Though I may not be as talented as the next person, I may have a certain quality that makes me stand out from others. It is important to know that everyone is considered special. We are all special in what we do and what we have done. Like everyone else, I am just as special as each and every person in this world; I am unique just like everyone else.

    This applies to my life because I tend to stand out from most boys. This would have to be one of my assets. I believe that my eyes are what make me stand out from the crowd. People have said that my eyes are very girly and pretty and that makes me feel very unique. Though I may not like my girly eyes, I am glad to have a quality that makes me stand out.

  4. Everyone is different.

    Everyone has a quality that defines them. Even when each person is different, you can still be grouped as a group of different people.

    It is important to find the thing that defines you. Standing out in a group where everyone is different is tough, but it is beneficial. Unique is a word to describe differences as a positive quality. Mead is reminding us that we all have good qualities, so it is important to go beyond those qualities.

    In order to apply this to life, you have to start by searching for something that defines you. We have elements that characterize our characteristics and it is important that we define even the things that define us. To obtain something beyond uniqueness. Mead says "just like everyone else" in order to emphasize that naturally.. we are all different. That's a given. So we have to look for things that give us our own title and brand.

  5. 1. This says that everyone is unique.

    2. This means that you are your own person and so is everybody else. No one is exactly the same.

    3. This matters because we need to understand that no two people are exactly alike. It's impossible to be born and raised the same way. We were all raised in different backgrounds and we need to respect that about others in life. You can't just assume everyone knows the same things as you do, just like you might not know as much as others. Respect for everyone is an important asset to have and use in life.

    If you were raised listening to one type of music, you can't just assume that everyone likes and listens to the same thing. You have to understand that everyone is different. You are your own person and should take pride in the fact that there is no other just like you. And just like you are like no other, no one else is the same either. We don't have to feel the need to belong and fit in because there will be people who aren't like you; it's a guarantee. But that's nothing to be ashamed of. In fact, we should all be proud that we are all our own person.

  6. 1. This says that no to people are alike.
    2. It means that everyone is diffrent. That we as a people are unique because no one is exacly like each other.
    3. This matter because alot of people try to be like another preson. They shouldn't try to be like then because they can't be exacly like them. That is impossible because they are different from them. What they should try to do is try to be succcessful like there role model but in a diffrent way. they should learn from there success and there failure so that they won't make the same ones.
    I can apply this in my life because i need to remember that im not the person next to me i am better in my own way. On my team i may not be the fastest but i am the one with quicker reactions. I use those reactions to my advantage when i am against a team member that is fast than me. This plan works for me we i am in defense. this works because most of my team member are faster than me so i can chase them with out getting left in the dust; so i use my reaction time which is fast than most i am able to beat them when we go one on one.

  7. 1. This quote is saying that everyone has a different personality and because of it everyone is different in their unique way.
    2. This quote means that no matter the shape, size, or color of someone everyone is different but in their own way. But everyone is still the same as others no matter if they are rich or poor.
    3. It is always important to know that everyone is unique but everyone is unique because there is no one like anyone. It always important in life to know that even though everyone is physically different they are still the same because at the end of the day everyone breaths, eats and sleeps. It always matter to understand that though some people might look physically different that does not mean anything.

  8. 1- It says that one is always and already distinctive from everybody else ever since he or she was born.

    2- It means that you are not the same compared to anybody else. You are one totally and absolutely different person. Everyone is unique, it's just that they express their unique characters or not.

    3- It matters because it's a motivation for one to believe in him or herself. Everybody has their own ability and special character that nobody else has. That is the reason why there is a variety of people in our human society. To remember that you are one unique person is to be able to demonstrate the unique parts of you. Nobody has the right to turn you down because of your characters, because your characters are what make you yourself. one needs to understand what he or she has and expresses that character.

    In my life, i know i'm not similar to anybody else, but i'm me, myself, one unique person. Throughout my course of study, i have my own method of learning and memorizing. I found my differences when i endure challenges and obstacles, because they reveal the ability i could demonstrate. Everyone around me has their own thing, not everyone is perfect and totally well-qualified for everything but everyone has something unique inside them. It's not whether they are unique or not, it's the how will they find out their distinctive character.

  9. 1. This says that no one is the same as anyone else.

    2. This means that no one is the exact same as anyone else. Everyone has their own unique qualities and personalities.

    3. We try so hard to be different from everyone else. We try hard to set ourselves apart from one another when in reality, we don't really need to do that because it's not like someone else has the same life as us. One person's life might be similar to another's but it won't be exactly the same. No one has the same features or dreams or accomplishments.
    I think the only time when someone has to compete against one another to stand out and show that they are different than everyone else is when it comes time to fill out college applications. The Admissions Board don't want to hear the same story over and over again. It gets monotonous. That's the only time when we have to be arrogant and fight for our spot to get a chance to be admittied into the college of our choice. We also might have to do this when we fill out applications for jobs or go tot job interviews. Bosses want someone with a unique mind and fresh ideas. Life isn't a competition to set make oursleves the best. That's the thing that people don't understand.

  10. 1- What does this say? (1-2 sentences)
    Every individual is different from anyone else.
    2- What does this mean? (2-3 sentences)
    Everyone has different personalities just like everyone else.
    3- Why does it matter or how can you apply this to your life? (2-3 paragraphs)
    This matters to me because now I know that other persons aspirations and goals are very different from mine. My failures might be another persons goals. I may cherish something but another person might think of it as trash. We all have different goals and feelings about life so we need to choose our own path. If everyone in this world were the same it would be pretty boring.

    This applies to my life because it will help me understand that no one can choose my destination because we are all different. We all have different mentality of what success is. I should not determine my future success on my family and friends.They cannot determine what would make me happy because we are all different.The only one that will benefit from my actions is myself so is important that I choose my own path in life, my own idea of success.

  11. 1)This quote says that everyone is unique.

    2)This quote means that all of us are unique. It is because each has something that others do not obtain; it is may be either personalities or talents.

    3) This quote matters to us, especially,we, humans. It is because one person is different from others. In this world, we can see that each individuals are different, such as their ethnicities or language. The quote matters because sometimes we forget that we have something special inside of our own individuality. Those things often make us have low self-esteem because we cannot find what is that special inside of our own personality.

    This quote applies to my life. It is because I am unique from others. I can say that because I can see that I have something in me that makes me unique. For example, I am Filipino, I have a Filipino accent, I can breakdance, I am very athletic, and most of all, I am a very hard worker. These things make me different from others because some people do not have these characteristics. Some might have it, but mostly, they only have few of them.

  12. 1. This means your different in your own way.
    2. This means that people forget their talents and what's makes them different. Being yourself is the most success you'll ever have.
    3. It matters because being yourself is the only thing you can do when times get ruff. Be unique and spontaneous and do what you want. Dont let anything or anyone get in your way. Your unique just like everyone else but your unique in your own way. Some people are unique because of their name. Some people are unique by their style and some people are unique by just being them.
    Understanding you uniqueness is like understanding yourself. If you can understand and embrace your uniqueness the you can understand and embrace being yourself. Never forget who you are or where you come from because that is all apart of you being unique. Never forget about who you truly are . If you do its going to be hard trying to remeber because you spent so much time trying to forget. Never forget your unique. Never forget your you.

  13. 1. I am one of a kind. There's no one exactly like me that exist in this world.

    2. Everyone is different and unique in our own ways. We are all human beings, yet each one of us differ from one another.

    3. Each and every one is special. Each one of us has something we're good at. We all have our own sets of talents and characteristics. In short, we are all unique. Even if you search the whole world, you would never find someone exactly like you. You are one of a kind, so use that to your advantage.
    We are all born with different brains and bodies; therfore, we think and act differently from one another. We might have similarities, but we are still different people. I have to keep in mind that there is no one exactly like me in this world. I am special. I am one of a kind. I have my own talents and I have something that everyone do not have; thus, I am unique.

  14. 1)That everyone is unique in thier own way.

    2)It means that you are unique in your own way, but everyone is unique in thier own way as well. Just because you like something and someone else dont doesnt mean your different because everyone has differrent.

    3)Everyone has different taste, hobbies, and talents. Just becasue you are different doesnt mean you are weird it just simply means that you are unique.Things that you might think they make you unique are sometimes not what you think, but you turn out to be unique in another way.This world is very diverse and we all come from different race, religon, and knowledge. Sometimes you could just be unique because of you are a mixed race that no one has ever seen. The most common religon is cathlioc and christian but some other people have different religons that no one has ever heard of but that makes you unique.
    This applies to everyones life because there is people out there who are discourged because they have different abilities. Sometimes you just need to believe in your self. Everyone is different from you.

  15. 1. you are always the original one and no one can replace you.

    2. Everything you do are absolutely unique. Which included the way you think and the way you act.

    3. It matters because unique makes you more shine in public, school, and at work. It's easier for people to recognize you. In addition, unique makes you have more swag. So,this means that girls are willing to talk you more. Unique make you original.

    The way i dress is unique. The way i think is unique. My hair style is also unique. These are my swag and I think I am original. So, I always think I'm unique.

  16. 1)Your are unique and so is every other person.

    2)This quote means you are unique in your own matter. Everyone is different and are unique just as well.

    3)This matters because you need to realize you are different and unique. Everyone has their own way of thinking and seeing the world. You may think you see it in the same way as someone else that is impossible. You are unique in your own way. If it's your apperance, your personality, and your soul. Not one person in this world is the SAME in ever detail seprates you from the others and the others from the others. For example, this can be applied in life by the way you write the way you express yourself.

    I can apply this in my own life well just today my teacher talked about my personal statement. I wrote how skateboarding has inspired me to be an engineer and excel. She mentioned that how my essay would stand out do to my perspective and the way I wrote it. Everyone has their unique story. They all are different, but in some cases you may seem like someone else. Another way I find myself unique by the way I express myself by skating, writing, and through music. I tend to see myself as the same as another person. In reality you are differnt ways some large some small. You are unique you just don't express it and aren't well know.

  17. 1) This says your unique just like everyone else.
    2) This means your unique but your not the only one. No one is like you but everyone is unique in thier on way.
    3) This matters because being unique doesnt mean your the only one. Everyone is differnt in thier on way. No one is the same even if you act alike, you are still differnt. Being different shows me that I am not like anyone else. I am differnt in my on way.
    I can apply this to my life by knowing that I am differnt I can love the person that I am. I dont have to worry about someone else taking my place because I am the only Brooke Ashley King. Staying strong in my uniqueness can show others and my self to love the person that I am. I can start to understand that being differnt isnt a bad thing. It is actually a good thing and I can stay being true to myslef.

  18. 1. This quote says that everyone is different and special.
    2. This quote means that everyone has flaws. Just like we have flaws , we also have something unique about us.
    3. This quote matters because it influences people to believe in their uniquness. Also,this quote can have a way of having others think that God makes us all in a different way. Nobody is the same. Everyone has that one specific thing that makes them stand out from other people. We all have a unique trait.
    I believe this quote is saying that we are all different from each other in various ways. For example , some people have blue, brown,and gray eyes. That might be a unique trait about them. Every one has a different attitude, some positive and some negative, Either way it go everyone is special and Different!
    I remember a time when I tought that I had no talent. There were days when people say you are so unique. I didn't believe it becuse it seemed as if everybody had the same attitude. It took me to step out of my environment and go to another one. I learned that I have special skills that no one there had. I had the ability to grasp things very swiftly .I was also great in math , so I was the girl who everybody came to for help. This quote is proven to be a fact about the world.

  19. 1. you contain a different prospectivethat makes you unique.
    2. we have somthing that makes us different from one another. Disciplines that we have makes us a different person each day.
    3. the things that makes us different are positive. we approach to good to make us the person we mantain to be today. I have ditinguish that we all try to live the same way as the american dream, but as much we try to live it like we all assume were going to live, we end up being different. being different does not makes us a wierd person it makes us a normal person because we were all born different, and being the same exact same is wierd because we have contain things that makes us different and is impossible to be the same.
    in thwe world we conytain identical people who looks the same but are not the same. theres a different definition in looking the same in they are the same. example we have twins, twins are caled because they look the same, it does not makes them same. Mnay confuse in they are the same, they are wrong in beliving thiers people that are the same.

  20. 1- you are special, like everybody.
    2- you are the only one that have character that create you nobody can have same. You are different with everyone but you like everybody because just only you in this world.
    3- It matter to us because in this world you cant find any one have same face, size, character, or intelligence. You are your own and you have your special that only you have and only you can do. Everybody also have same like that.They may have same but cant same at all.
    I can apply that to me, like my parent he is the only one I can surprise when he can organize three hundred stuff in to the medium box. My brother have talent in build lego toys become small city exactly same with my area where I live. My mom have best memory I ever seen, she can remember evrything and tell me exactly what happen ten years ago. All of them is what I cant have but they have. That why everybody is unique.

  21. 1.Everybody has different talents, characteristics and perpectives in life.

    2.God made us with a unique talents that sometimes not all the people have the talents that you have. So we better proud of ourselves. Be proud of what we have and what we are. Even physical appearance, God made us with different appearance and be proud of that. Just appreaciates all the things we have and who we are.

    We all need to believe in ourselves. Believe of what we can do because not all people can do what you can. Always remember that you are one of the people who are unique. Because all of us in this world are unique by own talents and characteristics.

  22. 1. This quote is saying that everyone is unique/ different and that nobody is the same.

    2.This means that everyone is different, that nobody is the same. But also that everyis the same only in being unique.

    3. This matters because alot of times people are compared or they comepare themselves to others. They shouldnt be compared or compare themselves to others because nobody is the same. Everyone is unique in their own ways.
    I can apply to this because i, myself think that i am unique and that i think different from everyone else.

  23. 1. Its saying that everyone is unique but in there own way but at the same time we are all the same at one point.

    2. I think it means that we are all unique in a different way but at the same time we are all the same when it comes to the end of the day. All of us are exactally the same but in our own unique way its the same as saying SPECIAL.

    3. It matters because no one is exactly the same. We are all different from eachother in many different ways. But just becasue we are different doesn't mean that we are all unique. We might be different but we all might like the same music and food.

    You can apply this to your life because some peoples lives might be about competiton but ours doesn't have to. We might rush to get to where we are going but while you are rushing and the other person is taing there time. We are all different becasue we might have different jobs, houses, hobbies, and colleges. But we might run into each other in the furture and one day we probably will be just alike.

  24. 1. We are all different in traits, skills, interest that is just like the rest of the society.

    2. It means that you as an individual has a characteristic, skill, personal that distinguishes you from everyone else. We are all different that it helps in our society to get to know people as they all support a system where they belong in society.

    3. This matters because we need to recongnize that we have something special. That something special about us that was given to us when we were in the first few moments on earth. It distinguishes me and you from each other. If everyone were the same almost the whole world would be boring as everyone would have the same features and everything would just be a repetitive lifestyle only waiting for you to crack. We need to express our difference because withiout our differences we wouldn't be able to complete hardships if we didn't have different perspectivews and experiences to solve and make big decisions.

    In life just looking at the people around us how we are different. We need to learn to accept who we really are as an individual as well as the people in action. When everyone is different we can actually get to know someone even more than we know them now. With being able from and know the weaks and strengths with one being different we can help each other in being balanced and maintaining ourselves in productive business. To have a balance we need to all know are difference to get more productive and faster. Being unique is actually a good thing for us.

  26. 1. No one on this world is completely as same as another.

    2. It means that maybe you are not good at doing something like others, you still can have chance to try something that others may not able to do it.

    3.It matters because this world has many different people and they all are unique. GOD makes us and surely gives us something to make us unique to others, because every of us has their parts and their duties that runs this world. Sometimes you may feel tired and want to give up, but" don't". As I said, GOD has given special gifts for everyone to make us special. So our job is to figure out what did he gave us and use it well. Don't think about what you can't do, think about what you haven't tried to do.

    I often try so hard to do everything because I think that if i try, I can do everything. However, there were many times that I failed and in those moments, I wondered why I can't do it? Now I realized that maybe I can do more than others a little bit, but i can't do everything because I know that GOD has given each of us somthing to to our job in this world, and those gifts make them special. So do I. Instead of trying to do everything, I learnd that it better for my if I try my best on things that I can do well.

  27. 1. This quote means that each and everyone of us is different no matter where you based it from.

    2. It means that everyone is created individually. Everyone is extraordinary and special in their own way.

    3. It matters because in this world there's no such thing as the same. Everyone has their own identity. Identity for our own selves yet we're not satisfied with that fact. So we always try to be someone else. This quote tell us that we should be happy for who we are because we are all unique.

    Everyone grows up differently, raised differently and such, yet once in our life we wonder why? why are we different to others? Then we try to become someone else. Sometimes the reason for this is peer pressure and to fit in. But this quote is telling us that we can't be someone else because all of us are created individually. It's okay to be bizarre, weird, quirky, crazy and etc. because those are the things that make us standout and be special in our own way.

  28. 1. It say you are so special, and you different with anybody.

    2. May, you have talents or unique. That no one is same with you.

    3. It matter to me. Because no one is the same, some of them may be unique, for example: ability, personality, intelligance, or strengh.
    Even thought, i not like them, it not mean i less than or more than. It mean i and them have diffrent unique.
