I have selected The Ugly Duckling as my reference. During my childhood, I always listened to this story from my mom. A pro- found impression left on me was that the ugly duckling kept being bullied by and isolated from the white swans. This resonates with my daily life experiences. Because I am a Special Educational Needs (SEN) student, I often find it hard to communicate with peers, leading to the feelings of loneliness. However, this story served as a source of inspiration, becoming a part of my personal philosophy. Now I would like to say that I have become a great person, just as the ugly duckling.
