In order to embrace your inner beauty, you must remove the mask that hides it.  

Step 2. We all hide behind anything that looks perfect and we suddenly become that impostor. 

Step 4. In the movie the Elephant Man, which was real, John Merrick was judged for his disgusting outer appearance. As it turns out, he was a very kind and intelligent man. At first, he was ashamed by his deformed physical appearance, but eventually he had accepted who he is.
 
Step 5. At one point in my life, I have tried to change who I was.Soon I realized that I was stupid because I was going to sacrifice who I was just to please other stupid people.

Step 6. I wonder why people try so hard to get rid of who they are. Everybody deserves happiness and it should be ruined by the world.]]> 2016-12-07 17:03:21 UTC https://padlet.com/kendall_l5875/yensaijh704z/wish/142349989 kendall_l5875 https://padlet.com/kendall_l5875/yensaijh704z/wish/142602401 2016-12-08 16:36:03 UTC https://padlet.com/kendall_l5875/yensaijh704z/wish/142602401 Ba-da Bing kendall_l5875 https://padlet.com/kendall_l5875/yensaijh704z/wish/143883821 Step 5.  I thought putting on too much makeup, wearing sperrys, and doing what people said would make them like me more. It was insane that I was trying to destroy who I was.]]> 2016-12-15 16:25:23 UTC https://padlet.com/kendall_l5875/yensaijh704z/wish/143883821 Pitchforking kendall_l5875 https://padlet.com/kendall_l5875/yensaijh704z/wish/143885466 Step 4. In the Elephant Man, John Merrick was a man born with proteus syndrome and a hideous body and face. He always wore a big, white cloth over his face because people were disgusted and terrified of him. Towards the end of the movie, he is chased by a mob after he accidentally knocks a little girl down. When they cornered him and take off his mask, he cries out to those people, " I am not an elephant! I am not an animal! I am a human being! I am a man!" It was a beautiful moment for Mr. Merrick because it shows that no matter what people look like, no one deserves to be treated differently from anyone else.]]> 2016-12-15 16:29:53 UTC https://padlet.com/kendall_l5875/yensaijh704z/wish/143885466
