recently my school gave me assignment for common module, the prescribed text is billy elliot and we have to present a 'ted talk' and relate to quote 'Our identity has already been chosen for us; but it's up to us to accept it - or fight and change it.'. Can anyone pls suggest me some related text which is short preferably?

No, sorry, I don't have a copy of the poem on me. I have tried looking it up on various websites but haven't been successful doing so; perhaps, you may be able to find it.
