Good For You Girls Contest 
Winner!
Claire Werkiser
Every person holds a unique, vivacious beauty within themselves.
Beauty is intrinsic to each individual. I am not a classically beautiful person. I do not have blonde hair or long legs. I am not tan or blue-eyed. I am pale, short, freckled, and dark haired. However, I do not see those things as negatives. I see my skin as the moon, glowing and bright.
My shortness is a plus, because I am afraid of heights. My freckles are evidence of the time I have spent in the sun, whether it be on the beach or tending to the farm animals. My hair transforms with the color of the light, sometimes a rich autumn auburn, or a dark mysterious brown. I love myself. I am not ashamed of the way I look, nor should I be. Because I have learned to love myself, I also have the ability to love others.
I take time to find beauty in every person.
I have never seen a smiling person who is also unattractive.
One’s attitude reflects directly with their beauty. A happy person radiates warmth. Their eyes sparkle with happiness. Everyone has the ability to see beauty in every face, their own and others. I love everything about my face, from my pink lips to my hazel eyes.
My beauty doesn’t come from dyes or spray tans. My beauty comes from inside of me.
