My sister’s face

No! she is not ugly. She is beautiful and cute (maybe I’ll share a picture sometime…)

I ran across this makes-you-think-a-little post of Andressa and it reminded me of my little sister’s “drama”. She simply does not make a good first impression. No matter who or what the situation. She was reading and writing by the time she was 5 and her first grade teacher told our parents she couldn’t read… she just didn’t like my sister. She’s 16 now and has always had trouble with teachers. They simply didn’t like her. Her highschool english teacher told her she didn’t like her smile because it looked evil/mean. Huh?!?

Let’s make something clear : she is a very very good child. She was always top of her school, not only her class, she fluently speaks english (since she was 6) and french, she is very very smart and that’s the only reason she has friend’s because her face isn’t helping! She has been suffering because of this her entire life and has had to fight a lot more than the rest of us to get along with people. I think she would have understood all this better if she were ugly. But she is definitely not…

If I weren’t there to witness all this I wouldn’t have believed in a milion years that the first impression is so powerful… so… as Andressa says, are you hatable ?

I, on the other hand, think I do make a good first impression. I just have trouble living up to it …
