The time when someone made me feel special

The time when someone made me feel special was when my mom told me,"Be yourself,believe in yourself,and don't be shy."Those words fell into my mind because nobody in my life has told me those words and that is so good that I told my mom,"Thank you mom I will listen to your words that you told me to do!"When I went to school when I was in 5th grade,girls usually made fun of me because I really knew everything because I always payed attention and I always got the answers right the first time.In my head I remembered the words that she told me to do,To believe in myself because if I would've listen to those girls I will be lost,but the other thing that I thought to not listen to them is that they don't even know what they are talking about,but the most important thing was to be myself that's the thing that kept me going!Well,as usual,I did follow those words that she told me.Why did those words made me feel special?Because nobody had told me that and now that I am in 6th grade the thing that I didn't give up on was when I took the TAKS test,I followed my strategies and the most important thing is that I concentrated a lot and I believed in myself that I am going to pass!Guess what?!I did pass!I was so happy that I couldn't stop saying it as if I wouldn't stop saying it like a crazy bee!I believed in myself that I almost cried because of the joyful that I was!That's why I think that some people are really nice of telling you things that make you feel happy and it's more than happy,but I don't know how to explain that mood.That's the reason I felt special that day!I hope I can hear those words again to help me pass the TAKS test for this year!
