KFC.

The moment I found out that Uncle Robert was dead, I knew I would have to face my Aunt Pam at  one dreadful moment in time. My heart felt like it was rolling on glass, but seeing her will completely destroy what strength I have left. The house was covered with people, people I didn’t know, people I sometimes see but don’t know, and my family. KFC chicken, Italian bread, barbecue, and the chocolate aroma of the desert were covering the whole house. I tried to eat a little but my stomach felt as though it was going to fall out through my butt, I hadn’t eaten all day but the thought of food made me feel groggy. Like everyone else, I found a spot to sit and wait, I leaned up against the counter and started listening to soft chatter amongst everyone. My stomach starts to tighten and flip as I hear gravel shifting under her vehicle. This was it, my heart and soul was about to shatter into pieces like a piece of glass. I could feel Shelby’s cold fingers start to wrap around my hand as the door starts to creak open. I felt like m heart was draining as knife were poking holes and more holes through what I had left. Until the woman with the unrepairable heart, walked through the door.

Judging More Than What's In Front.

It's a hassle to find the perfect dress, the pefrect shoes, the perfect swimsuit. It's even tougher to have the perfect body or the perfect hair, but you'd be amazed. As a little girl my mom was a really big fan of putting me in pageants, but you know as a 6 or 7 year-old you really don't have a say in anything. As I grew older, I grew fond of being on that stage watching cameras flash and having people who I don't even know to look me up and down. The part I hated the most, was being judged. In the book, Abosultely Maybe by Lisa Yee, Maybelline lives in this world. Her mother, Chessy, runs and operates a Charm School. Her mother is blonde, beautiful, skinny, and very perky; which sounds just like a pageant queen, doesn't it? Well that's is exactly what she is, you would think her daughter would be rolling in the crowns. But Maybelline turned out to be the complete opposite. She wears clothes that are too big, she has pink hair, and wears dark lipstick. She is unique, and loves the way she is. But being judged was a huge part in her life which caused Maybelline to figure out who she really was. Read this book, your life may be changed.
