Freshman Cody Gates reads Todd Parr's "It's Okay to Be Different." This remarkable moment was part of Raymond S. Kellis High School's participation in the "Spread the Word to End the Word" campaign. Our school is a model for tolerance and understanding, especially when it comes to our special needs population! Mr. Parr's book is so simple, yet so profound. I hope you enjoy my video of Cody. Mr. Parr's book is published by Little, Brown & Co. in Canada and the United States. For more information, please visit www.r-word.org

What a strong, brave young man.
And it's all so true.
It's okay to be different.
I wish more and more people could accept that. Coming from a self conscious person with little to no self-esteem, this really gave me hope.
Beautiful video <3
