Devon H-- 11th Grade at Vaca high school
Do you feel like you can be your authentic self at school & in front of friends ?
I feel like I usually can, most of my friends are super accepting of everyone and everything so I’m not afraid to let my true self show when I’m among people I trust.
Does makeup/hair make you feel more “presentable” or are you okay being fresh faced in public ?
I usually like to have at least my eyebrows and mascara done if I’m going out into public, it’s pretty hard to catch me without those.
What makes you particularly happy?
I’m truly happy when I’m with some of my closest friends. I love laughing to the point my stomach hurts and just having a good time. But I also like to spend time with just myself, it’s fun to try and live an ‘aesthetic’ life, studying at coffee shops and pretending like I have my life together.
What makes you laugh ?
Spending time with my friends is always a great time to find me laughing, we always have some new inside joke to laugh at.
How important do you think is physical appearance?
It’s not that important, if you have a good personality, are honest, and know how to crack a joke you’re good in my book.
What is your definition of true beauty ?
True beauty is accepting yourself and realizing that you are you and changing too drastically would make you lose the magic that comes from you.
