LOOK IN THE MIRROR
I woke up one day in the spring of 2008 when I was nine. What I noticed left me in shock. I saw pieces of hair scattered over my pillow. In a frantic, I called for my parents. As a third grader, I expected to wake up, go through my normalroutine to get ready for school, and then spend most of the day learning math, English, history, science, etc. However, my day started as a nightmare. How could I go to school with a patch of hair missing in the back of my head? What would others say? Little did I know that day in 2008 changed my life to what it is now. My appearance would never be the same. My hair did not stop falling out. I started to look different from my other third-grade classmates. As my hair kept falling out, the number of doctor appointments on my schedule grew. Yet, no doctor in Jackson, MS, could tell me what was happening to my hair. All they could tell me was, “Try putting this cream on your head,” or, “We can inject 30 shots into your head to possibly stimulate hair growth.” It was not until a specialist in Birmingham, AL, looked at my dad and said, “Your son has Alopecia, and I do not know the cause or cure for it,” that I accepted my new appearance. One night, I looked in my parent’s bathroom mirror and accepted what God had in store for me. Sixteen years later, I am finally telling my story. My book, Look in the Mirror, is my journey of living with alopecia, overcoming challenges, and accepting my new appearance while finding confidence in Jesus and His plan. My book also challenges readers to realize that they can find confidence in God and that He can use their story for God’s glory. I hope readers will take away an understanding that God has plans in store for everyone who trusts Him.
