How does your smile make you feel now?
My smile, if you want to call it that, makes me feel like a monster. My self-esteem is gone because of it. It hurts me inside every day when I brush my teeth and look in the mirror. I know that the way I feel not only hurts me, but my family as well as my boyfriend. It hurts me when people make fun of me and point.


What is the first thing you plan to do once you have your beautiful smile?
The biggest thing that I would do when I have a beautiful smile is to look in a mirror and not cry from the sadness inside but from the joy that I feel. I only hope that I remember how to smile. The next thing I would do is to look at my boyfriend and not shy my smile from him but give him the biggest one ever. I would hug my son and get on the track of working my self-esteem. To not feel like a monster, but to know that I am human.
