Self-Conscious

After reading Jodi's blog. She discusses what it was like for her to go through life being self-conscious of her nose. This relates to me in regards to my legs. Simply put my legs are short...therefore, I am short. For me this sucks! Being short makes me always feel that people are looking at me and wondering why I am this way. Not only that but I hate having the feeling that I am missing out on the opportunity of what being tall has to offer. Like Jodi I am writing my Body Collage about the one part of my body I am bothered with the most...my legs! It is not my physical legs that bother me it is the fact that they make me short. I will not go into detail about my legs now since that is what my paper is for. However, a few things that I face day to day related to my height that affect me are going to parties and not being to see over people's heads, having to wear painful heels, and being forced to buy clothes in the kid's section. Hopefully writing these essays will help people like Jodi and I along with the rest of the class come to terms with the parts of our bodies we despise most. I guess it all comes down to being happy that we are healthy and not worried about how we look or being self-conscious. But in reality is this possible?
