It was a really cold day and I didn’t put my hair up. Scared of being judged I still decided to do it. When I got to school I kept my face down and avoided everyone. It was a lot of work so I just gave up and didn’t care anymore. I was still sort of self-conscious. At the moment I thought I wish I looked like the “standard”. After awhile I realized lots of people actually liked my hair down. They really boosted my self-esteem and confidence without knowing it. From that single day I realized there is no ideal way to look. Everyone just thinks that we have to look a certain way and that isn’t true. We just see that because things like magazines and modeling drill that image into our head and make that the “standard”.

I like how this moment boosted your self-esteem, no one judged you because you didn't look "standard", and you learned that there is no ideal way to look. One thing to improve a little bit on is to add a little more detail to your story. But overall great job!
