"As soon as I got out of bed, I was having one of those mornings. You know \u2014 bad hair day, bad skin day, bad EVERYTHING day. It made me just want to crawl under the covers and go back to sleep. Maybe I could convince myself that tomorrow, I could wake up with supermodel hair and the complexision of a ProActiv spokesperson. But who was I kidding? I had an English speech to give and could NOT skip it. On my way to class, I stopped by the bathroom for a final attempt to tame my unruly hair, and found a little piece of encouragement...   After twirling my hair into a million different ponytail combinations and not having any luck, I saw another little Post-It note in the corner of the mirror. It said, &amp;quot;You are beautiful the way you are \u2014 let your hair down.&amp;quot; This random piece of paper left me thinking for a moment. Did it seriously just tell me to let my hair down? Does this neon-pink sticky note know what my hair looks like right now?! I glanced in the mirror again... and again. And again. I realized, my hair wasn&amp;#039;t that bad after all. I mean, it wasn&amp;#039;t gorgeous or anything, but WHO CARES? Hopefully, the girls in my English class would be more focused on my awesome presentation, rather than my hair. So I confidently walked to my classroom, and didn&amp;#039;t think twice about my appearance as I presented my research paper. After all, my appearance should be the least of my worries. College is about getting an education \u2014 it isn&amp;#039;t a fashion runway! There is definitely no harm in looking good, but if I want to look like a slouch for one day, it shouldn&amp;#039;t affect my ability to focus in school! Everybody deserves to feel beautiful, inside and out!   Are you comfortable in your own skin? Add your signature to be part of Seventeen&amp;#039;s Body Peace Project!
