Hi! I’m Destiny—and yes, I am a whale shark. And yes, I know I just bumped into that sign. Sorry! Still getting used to the whole “depth perception” thing.

Back at the Marine Life Institute, I used to feel like I didn’t belong. I couldn’t see very well, I got stuck a lot, and I was always nervous about swimming into stuff. But then I remembered something: just because you can’t see perfectly doesn’t mean you’re not going the right way.

Plus, I’ve got friends who help me navigate! Like Bailey—he echolocates, which is so cool! And Dory, who doesn’t remember much but always remembers how to believe in others.

So now I ask: What’s something you’ve always seen as a weakness… that might actually be a strength?

Because sometimes, the thing you think makes you “less”… is what makes you shine.
