If the whole world was listening, what would I say?

Jordan brought home a school project that took me a bit by surprise. It was an all about me display in the shape of a hot air balloon. She had a chance to draw herself (and she chose a version of herself running) and the family. Then she had a chance to write about herself. I was a little surprised by her answers. I've written about staring time and time again... And it is obviously something very important to Jordan as well.Here are some of the questions:If I could have one wish granted: It would be that no person would stare at me. (I'm rewriting this with the correct spelling. Jordan still needs to really work on her spelling skills these days.)This is my happiest memory: When I won a sports award.I am most proud of: My little arm.My favorite subject: My favorite subject is math.My favorite musical instrument: Is the piano.If the whole world was listening, what would you say: "Just so you know, if I do not have all of my arm, it does not mean you have to be freaked out. I am just like you!!!!"I totally agree with her. I also want to give her a hug because I am certain I didn't have these kinds of concerns when I was in third grade. She has a heck of a platform for a kid. I'm glad we can help her get the word out. I'm lucky she's around to teach us these lessons.---------------Speaking of getting the word out, we have a little more than four days left in our t-shirt campaign to fundraise for Camp No Limits. Plus, they are shirts that are super helpful in Jordan's goal to combat staring. You can find the Born Just Right store here.
