Ordinary friends catch habits from each other easily enough. It's OK if I just yell 'YAY!' like Cathy or dance hunched-up Hannah-style. Sometimes I try too hard and I find myself copying them. I try so hard to fit in with them so they'll stay friends with me. Cathy and Hannah would think me seriously weird. That's how it is for April in this story: I always hate my birthdays. You have to work hard to find out who you are. It just means that you have to work a lot harder to find out about yourself. Of course, If you are unlucky enough not to know anything about your natural family, it doesn't mean that you haven't inherited your fair share of gifts and attributes. Do you think you know who you are? How would you describe yourself? Is it important, for instance, to mention your family in your description of yourself - what your parents are like, and your brothers and sisters, and what part of the world you all come from? Perhaps you are very artistic, just like your mum? Or sporty, or good at maths? Are you blue-eyed, like your dad? Or left-handed, or short-sighted? Perhaps you are very fond of music because it has always been played in your home, ever since you can remember?
