Why Being Different Is Okay

I would say I'm very different.

I'm a strong, independent woman involved in SGA and a Greek organization on my college campus who is also a Computer Science major.

Bet ya didn't see that coming did you?

Yeah, a lot of people don't. Every time I introduce myself and say that I'm a Computer Science major I get strange and questioning looks. But I find joy in that. You know why?

Because I am one of two females in one of my Computer Science classes this semester and I pride myself in that. It makes me proud to represent myself, my family, and my sorority to be one of the only girls in my major.

Also because IT IS OKAY TO BE DIFFERENT. Who cares if you like something boys like? Who cares if you are good at it and can kick those boys' butts at writing code for a program?

Take pride in being different! That is how Christ made us ON PURPOSE! He made us in His PERFECT image that we may live our lives to glorify His kingdom in all we do!

Yes I may get weird look from people when I tell them what I do and that I'm one of very very few girls among my peers, but I know God has a flawless plan for me and I have to trust in Him to get me through the adversity of doubt from those around me and excel like God intends for me to!

So I say all of this to simply say, BE DIFFERENT. Yes, it may be weird and strange, but who cares? Be you, because you are perfect and so so loved and nothing can stop you if Christ is with you!

<Romans 8:31- What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?>
