Beautiful all Along

Marisa's biggest wish was to be beautiful. She had her birthday wish to be beautiful, whenever she saw shooting stars and when she passed by a well she would toss a coin in the well for the same wist to come true. For the past two years Marisa would always cry herself to sleep. She hated her family and would never go out anywhere or on shopping trips with friends. Everyone in school teased her about her dressing style and how she did her hair. But half a year later miraculously she found her beautiful self underneath all the hate and self-consciousness she had built over the years. She became more social with friends and family. Since her self-esteem became higher her grades went up a with her excellent performance. She also became active in sports and enjoyed herself in all the activities she participated in. Of course there were some bad days but that did not keep her from shining. To those people who thought she was the same old self as before she would reply "Though I won't be the next Julia Roberts or Marilyn Monroe I will be beautiful to me."
