Embracing herself
Eventually, after years of doing this, Grace knew that she needed to stop what she was doing and embrace herself. She couldn’t let people make fun of her because of her hair and she was just going to own up to it. She stopped straightening her hair before school each day.
Instead of people making comments, everyone loved her hair and wondered why she hadn’t done it sooner. She felt good about her choice and would even take things a step further and try different styles out, like dreadlocks for example. When she got tired of that she would change it again.
