Hi, guys! My name is Christine and I'm 20. If you think that plastic surgeries only fix problems, that's not true. Sometimes they create even bigger problems… Have you ever had to choose between family needs and your dream? Hopefully, by the end of the story you won’t think that I’m a monster…
I always knew that my destiny was related to fashion modeling. I used to be the tallest girl in school and in my pictures I looked much better than in real life. But I had two major obstacles: my mother and my nose. My big BIG crooked nose!
"Mom always worked hard and raised me very strictly. I have never met my Dad — he left us when I was a baby. My Mom never had a boyfriend since. She is really conservative. I mean… maybe even too much.
In our small town everybody noticed that I was taller and slimmer than the other girls. Neighbors and colleagues always told my Mom that I was destined to become a runway star! But she didn't wanna hear about it! My mom worked hard at a hospital as a nurse and the only option she considered for my future was going to medical school to become a doctor.
Needless to say, she also refused to discuss the possibility of plastic surgery. In her little world I was beautiful enough the way I was. She would always buy me boring, ugly outfits to make sure I didn't stand out too much. I was forbidden to hang out with boys and she tried to protect me from heartbreak, saying that I needed to get my education first… I never really had any boyfriends...
But despite my Mom, my plan was to go to New York after my high school graduation, to fulfill my dreams. My friend Lily, who already lived in New York, was hired as a model by a small agency. She promised to provide me with support and advice when I arrived. I had secretly saved money for my dream since I was 14, working as a babysitter and a waitress in my spare time. By graduation I managed to save enough money to cover the initial cost of my relocation to New York. But it was still not enough
