Her most notable protest was her cover of Glamour magazine, she called out the magazine at their own Women of Year award show, during her acceptance speech. “I felt my skin looked too perfect. I felt my hair looked too soft. I do not look like this when I wake up in the morning,” Gaga explained to the crowd. She rallied for women to “fight back against the forces that make them feel like they're not beautiful.” “It is fair to write about the change in your magazines. But what I want to see is the change on your covers... When the covers change, that's when culture changes,” she chided (Stempien). Actress Zendaya also frequently uses her voice on social media to speak out against photo manipulation. She took to Instagram to point out the changes, the photos show that her entire body has been slimmed down and smoothed out. “Had a new shoot come out today and was shocked when I found my 19-year-old hips and torso quite manipulated. These are the things that make women self-conscious, that create the unrealistic ideals of beauty that we have,” she wrote in her post. “Anyone who knows who I am knows I stand for honest and pure self-love. So I took it upon myself to release the real pic (right side) and I love it” (Stempien). These are only a few of the many social figures that are taking a stance against the vicious cycle of poor body image. The more TV personalities, models, and singers use their voice the faster the truth behind…

The moment that my father invested into a photo booth was the moment that I would begin to develop the skill of hard work. This skill would in time lead me to become a better person. Up until 2013, only occasionally would my guardian require my assistance with his work. I could either carry bags in or out of the house or support him in setting up. When my father bought a photo booth in 2013, that simple work that I did periodically would increase dramatically. I was not an experienced worker at…

The assignment prompt is to explore one big moment in my life in depth. I didn’t struggled a lot on finding the topic but I had hard time on developing a good narrative.

It can make one think about what other beautiful moments that pass one…
