JUSTINA - VACA HIGH SCHOOL
Do you feel like you can be your authentic self at school & in front of friends ?
For the most part, yes. When at school around my peers, I wouldn’t consider myself to be my authentic self, I’m just kind of there. But when around friends at school I feel as though I open up and I can be myself.
Does makeup/hair make you feel more “presentable” or are you okay being fresh faced in public ?
On a day to day basis I usually go fresh faced, but that’s usually out of laziness of not wanting to do my makeup, so I’d say that I’m pretty comfortable with being bare faced. But when I do wear makeup in public, I feel much more confident and presentable.
What makes you particularly happy?
Something that makes me particularly happy is dance. Dancing makes me happy because it’s a place that allows me to truly express myself, and to be myself around some of my closest friends.
What makes you laugh ?
There’s a good range of things that make me laugh. It could be something that I see on the internet, or some remark that someone makes in class, but I think the thing that truly makes me laugh is my family because someone can say just one random word, and we all bust out laughing.
How important do you think is physical appearance?
I think it’s important that someone has a positive outlook on the way they look. Someone should think that their physical appearance is beautiful no matter what, and they shouldn’t dwell on the way they look so much so that they feel anxious or bad about the way they look.
What is your definition of true beauty ?
I believe true beauty to be knowing who you are, and being comfortable with that.
