My Story...
The picture I am holding is my first grade photo, taken when I was six. At an early age I used my independence when it came to fashion and beauty. I stopped letting my mom dress me around age 3 and I started dying my hair at age 8. I remember loving to experiment with new hair-dos and fashion trends; however my creativity was not well received during my elementary and junior high years. I began to feel as though beauty was only found in those girls with perfect hair, flawless skin, perfectly shaped eyebrows, and amazing clothes. I now know that perfection isn’t normal, nor is it interesting. I’ve learned to embrace my quirks and just be me!
