To me, beauty is not the clothes you wear, the makeup on
your face, or the size of your jeans; beauty is being able to brighten someone’s day with
just a smile.

Stopping the widespread ideal of the blond size 0 isn’t just material, it
is revolutionary. It is progress. We now have a black president, why can’t we have size
12 girls on the magazine covers?

How am I different? I am not obsessed with the tabloid covers, Perez Hilton, or how much my jeans cost. I am not ashamed to shop at Dollar Tree. I will go out in public with no makeup. I will give compliments and actually mean them. And, most importantly, I open myself to see the good in others, not just find the flaws to hide my own.

I believe what makes me different is I am a genuine, down to earth, giving and kind person. I have spent most of my life volunteering for various causes and giving back to my community in any way I can. I was given many awards for my volunteering, including a proclamation from the mayor of my hometown for being the “Citizen of the Year”.

Most of Pop Culture makes me sick. The way girls are made to feel they have to be a certain weight and look a certain way to be considered beautiful is just beyond me. People seem to be so wrapped up in their outside appearance that they forget that it honestly is the inside beauty that matters. Looks fade, a beautiful heart is forever. The way our society obsesses over celebrities and what they are doing and how much money they have just really gets to me. I have no interest in any of it.

Family is everything to me. Love, laughing, being outdoors, the little things in everyday life that most people take for granted, I never overlook for a second. When I die I want to be remembered as the girl who always put others first, and did it with a smile.
