“In the beginning, I could not even look at myself in the mirror. I used to think how I am prettier than others. The accident has changed my outlook. Beauty is not skin. Beauty is what your heart looks like. If people are struggling with outer appearance, they need to be glad they are alive to have this life because it can be quickly taken away. When we work on our inside appearance, we will feel great about our outside appearance. God cares more about the inside than the outside. I used to be stared at all the time. In the beginning, it was uneasy, very tough. Now, I do not pay attention to the stares anymore. I keep on going with my day. I pray to God to help me get through the stares. Happiness comes from Him, the love God has for me. My name is Courtney and I surrender.”
