On Being Extraordinary

Let's talk about "being ordinary". Meet Auggie. Auggie is the main character in "Wonder" by R.J. Palacio. And Auggie can teach you a thing or two about being "extraordinary". It's a feeling we can all relate to: Is it better to fit in, or to stand out? In what ways do we want to be ordinary, without losing the things that make us extraordinary? And how do we find the people who just let us be, and who find us amazing anyway? No matter whether you feel completely unremarkable, or whether you feel that it would be nice to be more "ordinary": This post is for you.
