R.J. Palacio Quotes
I Wasn't Even Sure Why I Was Getting This Medal, Really.
No, That's Not True. I Knew Why.
It's Like People You See Sometimes, And You Can't Imagine What It Would Be Like To Be That Person, Whether It's Somebody In A Wheelchair Or Somebody Who Can't Talk. Only, I Know That I'm That Person To Other People, Maybe To Every Single Person In That Whole Auditorium.
To Me, Though, I'm Just Me. An Ordinary Kid.
But Hey, If They Want To Give Me A Medal For Being Me, That's Okay. I'll Take It. I Didn't Destroy A Death Star Or Anything Like That, But I Did Just Get Through The Fifth Grade. And That's Not Easy, Even If You're Not Me.
