I always had wished she wasn't so ashamed of her race. She was SO smart and she was very pretty, she just didn't look like her sister. She had a super sweet and supportive family yet she was so insecure all the time. I just loved her sweet Korean mom. She always called me "Mindie-girl".
Sorry I went off topic...just brought back that memory for me. I was always so jealous of her hair...what I would give to have hair like hers!! |
That's so sad! I hope her self esteem has picked up since then!
Even though your story was sad, it made me think of a funny story I have:
When I was in second or third grade, my mom started making me a glass of carrot juice every morning before school because my eyes were starting to get bad.
So a few months after I started drinking it every day, I'm sitting at lunch with my best friend, Aubree and some other girls.
Well, this one girl looks at me and asks, "Why are you orange?"
I knew right away it was from drinking carrot juice every day, but I was shy and didn't know what to say.
So Aubree steps in and yells, "Shut up! It's because she's Asian!"
LOL
