Deenie

I just finished the book Deenie, by Judy Blume and I have to say, I've experienced an astonishing time reading it. I learned so much from it. It opened up my mind to new thoughts and ideas. I never thought a book could have such an impact on the way my mind works. Self confidence is the one thing that everyone in the world should have. If you don't have self confidence, I don't think there's anyway to progress in your life. The main character Deenie had went through some tough situations considering the fact that she had moved to a new town not knowing anybody and she had scoliosis which made her the odd ball from everyone else in the school. Even though she was treated differently from everyone, that didn't stop her from succeeding. I can relate to this book a lot because I know how it feels to be judged by others without them knowing anything about you. The most important thing I learned from this book is that, in life, there is always going to be obstacles that will get in your way. The only way to overcome those obstacles is to keep your head high and try to prospere in life.
