Opinion essay To move out from home is a very important time in the ...

Even though we know in the back of our minds that this is only the result of the great work of
her make-up artist and a serious eating disorder she doesn't admit to, most of us still desire to
be exactly like her.
I personally don't. Just the thought of having to submit my whole life to a number that appears
on scales is sickening to me. Beauty is a lot more that reducing your body to the weight of
your own 12-year-old-self and a hollow smile; rather it means being confident and happy with
who you are, on the inside as well as on the outside. Every person is beautiful in some way,
and every person has some physical flaws too. But once they learn to accept both sides they
will be able to lead a much happier life.
This is because confidence truly is the key to strong, balanced relationships to other people. I
guess this is what the author of the statement has been trying to express.
No-one can bear a partner who is constantly uncomfortable with who he or she is. Especially
girls put themselves under a lot of pressure until they are no longer able to simply like
themselves with all their unique features. It's a shame that the beauty of the average woman is
no longer appreciated. I certainly do hope that this is going to change again in the future.
Letter of application
Dear Sir, Dear Madam,
My name is Julia Reichel, and I am 18 years old. I have recently graduated from High School,
and therefore I am now looking for new challenges, which is the reason behind my
application as a hair-dresser in your shop.
My whole life I have been devoted to beauty, since I think that expressing your inner self on
the outside is an art in itself, which has never failed to impress me.
Even friends and members of my family consider me gifted with the talent of seeing a
person's inner beauty and transferring it to the surface. Of course, this is not the only reason
why I think of myself just right for this position.
It would be my pleasure and most certainly an honour for me to represent VAIN with my
friendly, open-minded and neat appearance. As I have been helping out at a local hair studio
for the past two summer holiday seasons I can also safely say to be experienced in the field of
customer service.
I am hoping to be considered, and I am looking forward to your response,
Yours sincerely,
Reichel Julia
