Yet every time mom noticed I was unhappy, she would say to me,“The world inside you is always colorful. Hold your head up high and face the world.” It helped me move on in life.

All I really wanted was to look like other people. When things got really bad, I would cry to my mom and she would look at me with loving eyes and say,“Hold your head up high and face the world. Let them see the love that is inside.” Mom’s love and encouragement gave me the confidence to remove my own doubt. Finally I was able to face everything bravely.
