Smile, like you have nothing to prove.

Today marks the first day of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Cancer is something that has touched everyone's life in some way or another. I recently found out that one of the most influential people in my life has been diagnosed with breast cancer. My second grade teacher, Ms. Heuchan has touched my life in such a profound way. She always has a smile on her face as well as in her heart. When you walk into her memory-filled Creekside Elementary School classroom you would be overpowered by the smiley faces that decorate every inch of the room. The decoration of her classroom is a perfect reflection of her personality. So as you get through this week, this month, smile. A smile can impact the lives of everybody around you. A little smile can go a long way. And, when you are smiling, always smile like you have nothing to prove.
