I was being called names on the way home from school. I had been told that I was useless a thousand times over, and I have lost count of how many times I was teased because I wasn't wearing the latest trend.
Then, one day I sat under a coconut tree. I shook one down. I opened it and it told me I could soar and that it didn't matter what anyone thought about me as long as I was happy.
I threw the coconut into the sea, and shouted,
"Call me what you want, you coconut! I am me!"
