How I did it
It made me
beautiful 
How I did it: I kept my nails painted constantly, because chewing paint off of nails is horrible. Then I began to keep them done up. I went to a salon, had fake ones put on, short white tips. They looked beautiful. I haven't chewed my nails since. From time to time, I catch myself sucking on the tip of one of the fake nails then I quit. Read how I did it…

I feel very blessed to have a job where I work with children and adolescents with mental and behavioral illnesses/problems. Some children are there from neglect or abuse, others for drug problems, psychiatric disorders, etc. Everyday I inspire a child to pursue their treatment program and not to give up, makes me feel so good, I’m doing a good deed, not only for my career but for the child in need of the guidance, help, and motivation. Every little moment counts with each child. If I can turn a child’s frown upside down in a few minutes just by listening to them vent and encouraging them not to give up, I know I am worth something. Thats all that matters, is helping the children and turning their bad memories and moments into good ones. Every little moment counts..
My boyfriend makes me happy everyday. He is amazing to me, goes out of his way to show me things that I’ve never seen before and take me places I’ve never been. He is the first man in my life that has shown me the respect and care I deserve and I am very grateful for that. I love him more than I thought I would ever love anyone.
He is not only my boyfriend but my lover, best friends, companion, source of happiness, support system, and the only male in my life that truly knows me inside and out and actually understands me and loves me for me through thick and thin. He’s been there since day one, proving every other male wrong.. “He’s a keeper,” they all say.
