Into everyone’s life comes a time when winning
acceptance is a major concern. As they enter their last term in grade school, three of the
Degrassi Street youngsters are trying to change themselves to conform with what they think
will accomplish that. Martin is struggling to look like the boys of the
“with-it” group. Lisa is tempted to disobey her parents in order to go on her
first date. Connie is desperately trying to alter her personality to get the school’s star
baseball player to notice her. In each case, their efforts are failing miserably. It is
Rachel’s advice “Just be yourself” that finally proves to be the key to
achieving their goals.
