Answer the following question in 120-150 words:

Derry: It’s got nothing to do with my face and what I look like.

You do agree with Derry that appearance doesn’t define a person. Only one’s potential and innate qualities gain one respect and dignity in society.
As Derry, write a diary entry regretting how you wasted your time indulging in self-pity and frustration and how your encounter with Mr. Lamb transformed your personality.

Answer 1

I do really thank my stars for bringing Mr. Lamb into my life. I was obsessed with frustration and self-pity prior to meeting him, thinking that my value was determined by how I looked. However, Mr. Lamb's insight and generosity have given me a fresh viewpoint. I feel bad about the years I wasted worrying about how I looked, letting it cloud my actual abilities and character traits. Mr. Lamb's unshakable faith in me has taught me that genuine dignity and respect originate from within, from our inherent compassion and strength of character.

His kind words of support and sincere concern for my welfare have completely changed the way I view the world. I no longer identify myself by the constraints I used to place on myself or by the ideals of beauty set by society. Rather, like Mr. Lamb has done for me, I value my individuality and work to have a positive influence. I am appreciative of his friendship and advice, and I'm resolved to face every day with bravery and sincerity. Regardless of how society views me, I am sure that under Mr. Lamb's guidance, I can overcome any challenges and realize my full potential. I am grateful to you, Mr. Lamb, for teaching me the value of decency and respect and for assisting me in realizing my inner strength.

Forever grateful
Derry
