There she stands, looking in the mirror, with her naturally kinky long auburn hair. Her clothes are as pale as the skin that lies beneath them; her bleached white cotton long-sleeved nightgown flows with every move she makes. Her petite body, thin, frail and full of freckles, stands there lifelessly. She bends down to open a drawer filled with coal colored ponytail holders and russet colored headbands. She pushes the headband into her locks of auburn kinks and proceeds to pull the remainder of her hair into a ponytail. Unpleased, she removes the ponytail holder and starts again until her hair is perfect. She grabs her tooth brush and starts brushing her already perfectly white teeth. She rushes her teeth for exactly five minutes to ensure that she has reached every inch she could possibly brush. Once done, she cups both of her dainty hands under the faucet to catch enough water to rinse her mouth. She ever so slightly sips the water from the cup of her hands, swishes it in her mouth, and leaves …show more content…
She grabs the soap that lays nicely on the tiny little shelf above her. She rinses her face and lathers the bar of soap. She reaches up and moves her soap covered hands in precise small circular motions around her face. She does this until every inch of pale freckled skin is covered in a thin layer of soap. She then rinses the soap off, grasps the towel beside her, and dabs the water from her face. Once done, she proceeds to observe herself in the mirror. She stares at the color of her kinky hair, the freckles on her nose, the wrinkles that have starting forming and the paleness of her skin. After observing the blandness of herself, she frowns at her reflection and looks down at the floor reaching her hand up to turn out the light. She flicks the switch, but has to check three more times to ensure that the switch has been pushed all the way down. Once satisfied, she slowly drags her delicate feet to her bedside for some
From that point onward, Melinda hides from herself by taking down or covering mirrors, an act to forget her past. It is made clear that Melinda dislikes looking at herself as it reminds her of what happened that night at the party. As can be seen in this quote, “I watch myself in the mirror across the room... Two muddy-circle eyes
The next day she covers her hair, thinking this will stop the bullying. However, the boy points at her dark skin and taunts her about that instead. When she covers her face, he makes fun of her dark eyes. From that day on, Lila hides under an excessive amount of clothes as an attempt to hide her indigenous features and fit in with the other children at school. At her lowest point of despair,
In step three start with using your finger to separate a tiny section of your hair taken from the outer edge near to the elastic and then cross it over to the opposite side (overlap exactly like you would if you were doing a standard braid). Grip your hair again
When I think about the person I am today I think about the people that have helped raise me. We all grow up with different experiences, environments, lifestyles, and people in our lives who help shape who we are. One person that has made a big impact in my life would be my nana and her name is Bea Wilson. She has been in my life since the moment I was born. My nana has shown me that you can make something good out of bad situation.
My ambitions are to be the first, the first to invent, research and to write, I stand imperfect, I live life flawed but I remain determined to overcome my flaws. Talking about the firsts, my influences start with the firsts, Amy beach is the first female composer in the United States. Her piece for solo piano named “Eskimos (1907)”, is such a worthy example of exoticism. At first I was against the idea of a non-native composer trying to create a piece with foreign melodies, but Beach did a prodigious job of keeping the melody true to its’ origins.
The curtains in the room are closed. The room is lit in a dark orange from the bright sun light outside. Sam stares at herself in the mirror at her chubby body in disappointment. A picture of Kylie Jenner, who looks like Eva, is tucked in the dirty mirror with a lot of fingerprints on it. She grabs it off the mirror and rips it into pieces.
Hi my naturalists, I 've been natural for a year and a few months (I transitioned); however, I recently noticed my hair has broken off a little in the front. The culprit is unknown, however it may be from putting too much heat on it (leave out from see-ins)... Anyways, I 'm considering doing the big chop (this Friday).

Alyssa Stongle Session 1 - Journal Throughout all my 26 years, I have done a lot of really diverse, amazing things in my life. Starting out with dance when I was about 5, I continued to be in dance companies throughout my younger years.

Unknown Hi i’m Bella. I look like a happy go lucky African american woman. Well to all that say that they only got one part right in that whole statement. I’m an average african american woman. I have nothing and no one to truly call my own.
After Melinda gets home from an exhausting day at school and realizes how bad her scabs are she tells us, “I get out of bed and take down the mirror. I put it in the back of my closet, facing the wall” (Anderson 17). Melinda often hides from her problems. The hiding of the mirror signifies how she is not strong enough to confront her problems and instead chooses to hide from them. Mirrors also depict her mental state when she starts to redecorate her closet for the first time, she says “The first thing to change is the mirror.

It takes the girl a while to get to the point of acceptance, there is many obstacles she has to get through.

By attending Eagle Pass High School, I have the honor to interview my mentor and teacher Mrs. Tanya Tijerina who specialized in teaching Physics Regular/ Pre-AP to 10th, 11th and 12th graders. During the interview I found background information about Mrs. Tijerina, she studied in UTSA and got her BS in Biology, currently, she is doing her Masters in School Council in Sul Ross State University.

“Sarah Nowak -- Scenic Artist” I have always been a follower, whether it be because I was afraid of screwing up and everyone blaming me, or just not wanting the responsibility; I do not know. That changed, however, when I joined my school’s theatre program as a set painter. I began there as a follower, too. Suddenly, for the second winter show, there were no leaders available for paint crew, so I became one. That was my first taste of leadership.
Thats nice,”and he stroked harder. “Oh that’s nice.” “Look out, now, you’ll mess it.” And then she cried angrily, “you stop it no you’ll mess it all up.” She jerked her head sideways, and Lennie’s fingers closed on her hair and hung on.
