Clara Seckerson's Platform is the Golden Rule
Hi, I am Miss PreTeen North Dakota International 2021, Clara
Seckerson. Today I am going to talk about my platform. My platform is “The
Golden Rule”. It stands for “treat others the way you want to be treated”. I want to spread the word of being
kind. The reason this is my platform is
that I was bullied a lot and I hated it so much. When I was younger I had acne, which isn’t very weird now but
back then everybody thought I was
weird. I also got bullied because of my body shape. I have a very lien body and nobody else had that. It
shouldn't matter how you look, nobody should
ever get bullied. Everybody has thought of something bad about someone else, how to handle this is to
not say that hurtful thing to a person. Instead, say something that is kind and will encourage them to say something nice to somebody else.
If you bully someone every time you say something hurtful or mean
they lose self-confidence. If you have a piece of paper as somebody's heart, and you say hurtful
things to the piece of paper it will crumble up. If you say kind things to the crumpled up piece of paper it
will open up. But, the piece of paper
will never be the same. Nobody can ever truly heal from being bullied. So, just don’t bully, if people start to be kinder it would make a big impact
on your community, and then soon hopefully the world.
In my class, there’s this
boy who gets laughed at and pushed around
for no reason, and I hate that. Some people I even call my friends say hurtful things to him. I am actually very good friends
with this boy, ever
since he came to my school I have always treated him with kind words and tried to make him happy. I think I have succeeded
at this because now he smiles, and it makes me so happy to
count him as one of my best friends.
We also have a song we sing every time we see each other. My brother has CHARGE syndrome, and I would hate to
see him get made fun of. That’s why I am trying to spread my platform
and positivity. I hope you will join me
in my journey of spreading “The Golden Rule”.
them it stands for,
O- Offer a helping hand
L- Laugh with someone, not at someone
D- Do one act of kindness everyday
E- Encourage others to be kind
N- Never speak unkindly
So, the next time you think of “The Golden Rule” try and think of all
these things that you can do to brighten up someone's day!
