“Oh d-d-d-d-dear, dear!”

Among the lush trees of the Hundred Acre Woods, a little stuffed pig named Piglet searches for his friends. Despite being a tiny ball of anxiety, he displays remarkable amounts of compassion and fortitude whenever his friends are in distress.

I would like to meet Piglet from A. A. Milne’s Winnie-the-Pooh because even though he is the smallest among his friends, Piglet has the biggest heart and displays exceptional loyalty to those around him. Since self-perception is so important in how one overcomes challenges in life, I would ask him about how he learned to embrace his quirks and remain courageous even when facing his harshest critic: himself.

Whether he is helping his friends capture frightening Heffalumps and Woozles, or rescuing them out from under a fallen treehouse, Piglet shows that true love and heroism can come in tiny packages. His personality fascinates me because although he quivers and stutters often, Piglet demonstrates a profound sense of bravery through both his acts of kindness and his many exciting adventures.
