I have got a round face and have short layered hair. My friends often say that I look so cute whenever I hang it. I am very proud of my Asian
eyes because they are clear and take after my mothers. I do not have to wear glasses, thereby making my friend jealous of me. However, my
nose is not as straight-edged as the Dutchess Kates; and sometimes it makes me less confident. But, It does not seem to be a really big
problem. Without a nose like that, I can still be happy and have my dream job.
