I Cringe At My Before Picture. What A Handful Of Years Can Do

I Must Say, Being An Ugly Duckling (Both Self-described And By The Perception Of Others) Made Me A Much Better Person Than I Might Have Been Had I Always Been "Pretty"

I Don't Think I'm Anything Special Now But The Before Picture Cracks Me Up

I Really Can't Explain The Quote. I Had A Profound Admiration For Antionio Banderas

Still Don't Think I'm Quite Over The Syndrome, But I Do Know I'm Heaps Better

Here's Me At About 14 And Here I Am A Few Months Ago

The best part is that I finally learned how to draw in my eyebrows.....at 24yrs old. I went from geeky nerdy child to geeky nerdy lady with a teaching degree and way more confidence. If I hadn't been teased and asked out as a joke growing up, I may not be the confident kind person I am today. Thank you grade school and high school bullies! You helped shape me into the person I am proud to be.
