No one is born to be perfect, but we can
choose to make our life perfect. Some people see their defects as obstacles, and
then they may lose self-confidence or give up their dream. However, once you
change your mind, your defect can be an opportunity to stand out in the crowd. What
you want to be all depends on you.
Chantelle Brown Young, a 19-year-old girl coming
from Canada, has suffered from Vitiligo when she was 4 years old. She dreamed
of becoming a model when she was a child. Unfortunately, Chantelle encountered
many difficulties because of the white patches on her dark skin. The bullying
started in school, and no one thought she was beautiful. People teased her appearance defect, even called her cow or
zebra. The series of frustrations almost destroyed her.
Even though everyone looked down on her,
she told herself that she needed to accept her defect, embrace it and enjoy it.
To her surprise, her unique appearance caught the attention of the judge, who
invited her to vie in cycle 21 of America’s Next
Top Model. It was a turning point that changed her life. The white patches were
immediately being the spotlight. The girl once deemed
that she had lost at the starting line, but she showed her success to manifest that being different was the most beautiful

like wearing similar clothes or makeup. We all forget everyone has their own uniqueness,
so don’t want to be others. Try to be yourself and love yourself.
