"Holly's very to be alive," they told Mum and Dad. "But she'll be left with scars on her head, and of course her hair won't grow there."
As a child, I cared much about my scars, so I wore a scarf to cover them up when I left home .If I didn't, people would call me horrible names like Baldy. Although my friends were always comforting me , they never understood how it felt.
Then through the hospital I was to a children's burns camp, where children like me can get any help. There, I 14-year-old Stephanie, whose burns are a lot more serious than mine. But she is so that she never lets anyone put her down. "You shouldn't what people say about what you look like because we're not different from anyone else, Holly," she me, "And you don't need to wear a scarf because you look great it!" For the first time in my life I could speak to someone who'd been through something . Soweeks later, at my 13th birthday party, encouraged by her bravery, I gave up my scarf and showed off my scars. It felt amazing not having to hide away behind my scarf.
Now, I am of what I look like and much happier, because I have realized it is your personality that decides who you truly are.
