Teenager, Born with No Eyes and Nose, Shares Secret of a Joyful Life
http://www.wbtv.com/story/21416975/teenager-born-with-no-eyes-and-nose-shares-secret-of-a-joyful-life?hpt=us_bn8
I recently read this article about a a girl with no nose or eyes, and it really touched me. Cassidy Hooper is a 16-year old girl from Charlotte, North Carolina. She is one of the few kids in America born with no eyes and no nose. Cassidy attends The Governor Morehead School, which works with students who are blond or deaf. She keeps her day packed from go from Spanish II to singing at a homeless shelter. Cassidy always as a smile on her face. Cassidy has been in the process of getting a nose. it has been a multi-year and multi-surgery process. She says that the end of this process is near. She calms that by the end of the school year she will have a nose like every one else. She says that when people say things to her, she just tries to ignore them and not let it bother her. She just tries to live her own independent life, and not let others get to her.
I think this would be a very hard life to live, and not let what other people say get to me. I would not be able to live with being able to seeing the things around me and not being able to smell things. I think I would just want to stay inside, so that people wouldn't make fun of me when I went outside. I think she is a very touch girl for being able to smile all the time, and live a happy life even with the conditions that she has to live with. I think it would be cool to be able to this young girl in person.
Do you think you would be able to be happy and smile all the time if you were in this situation? Do you think she is tough for live with this condition?

I don't think I could be happy with my life if I didn't have a nose or eyes. I would understand that that's how God made me so I wouldn't be mad. I would hate not being able to see or smell thinks. I love smelling my favorite food or perfume. I feel sorry for her, but she is brave. I wish I could meet with her in real life.
ReplyDeleteThats really hard to imagine someone with no eyes or nose because I'm so used to having eyes and a nose. I don't think I'd really have the will to live if I was like that because its so odd. I would hate not to be able to see, but not being able to smell would be absolutely horrible!! At least she's getting a nose now! And it's great that she's looking at the bright side of things though and not letting it get to her. I'm sure its hard to live like that.
ReplyDeleteThis would be very hard. I don't know how she does it. She probably doesn't find it depressing because she doesn't know any differently. She is very inspiring. It's awesome that she is still involved and doesn't let things get to her.
