What I had to work in was not easy knowing that I was going to take a step back to my past which I promised myself to never visit again, but for the sake that my 7 year old niece quoted " I'm going to be a model when I grow up, I don't want to be fat", It struck be hard knowing that this little girl doesn't know how much she is going to struggle in reality because she was not going to grow up looking like the women on television. I did not want her to experience what I had to go through, I would always comment to her " you are beautiful just the way you are, and never let anyone tell you so". It was an eye opener to observe the fact that there is millions of other people from countries being influenced by an Americanized image or from another country, but that you are persuaded to look perfect to be happy with your own self. Doing this project made me grow closer to who I am today, and also lets me appreciate my self and other people who can secretly be suffering from maybe encountering a "push" as in being bullied by their own looks and taking it on upon themselves. We should enjoy living life, not self imagery live ours.
