There once was a girl, painfully shy and anxious.
She didn't enjoy school, it was too hard for her to make friends and fit in. She dreaded going.
However, in the 3rd grade, her class began learning about metamorphosis. She was fascinated. Each child in her class was given a caterpillar to watch and study.
During this time, she was eager to go to school each day to see her caterpillar and how it had progressed.
Eventually, the caterpillars tucked into their cocoons and the children waited, excited to see what would happen next.
They waited, and waited, and waited - for what seemed like an eternity!
Finally, it was time. They had emerged from their cocoons and they were BEAUTIFUL monarch butterflies!
The children were to release their butterflies outside all together, however, the girls butterfly was different from the rest.... it couldn't fly.
No matter how much it tried to, it simply could not.
So, while the children stood in a circle and released their butterflies into the sky, the girl walked away, alone, and set hers on the ground.
She knew it would die. And she didn't understand. Why wouldn't this beautiful, innocent creature be given a chance a life? It had done nothing wrong. She cried.
In that moment, the girl realized... sometimes life is unfair. Sometimes you have to fight for a chance, sometimes you're not given a chance at all. And she realized she is grateful for everything she has, everything she is, and everything she will be. Because nothing is guaranteed in this life.
