    “I tried to make friends as a child but it never worked out. Every day I’d get bullied. My teachers were nice, but the only kids who would spend time with me were my cousins-- and they were in a higher class. People would call me ‘idiot’ and ‘stupid.’ They’d push me..."pic.twitter.com/ZlPiXWeZiu

        So touching. If only humanity will look skin deep and know that no one chooses deformity... Reach out and make someone smile. People are going through so much and Ronak just changed her view of life. Life truly is beautiful

        You're a star and never let anyone dull your sparkle. It annoys me to read about bullies. I wish more parents were intentional about raising their kids to be kind and compassionate.
