I was the only girl without a prom date because of my birthmark until one boy asked me — then police officers walked into the gym

But above all else, I compared bravery to cowardice.

One of those things brings you down. The other one lifts you up.

Finally, when I was finished speaking, nobody laughed. Nobody giggled. No jokes were made.

A few weeks later, I walked across the stage during graduation as confident as never before.

My birthmark didn’t suddenly disappear. But something inside me changed forever. The people who reached their peak during high school because of making fun of me will never have the chance to decide my worth.
