Shaping bright minds

Secondary student, Margaret, has been awarded a place on our Happy House  Board of Academic Fame.
The award comes following an essay she wrote on the topic Personality Matters More than Beauty.
Here is an excerpt:
.Let’s be real. I have a natural figure, average curves and thin legs.
Who cares? Why should the world set an image of an ideal body type for people? 
Plastic surgery? I am all for it. But I don’t believe anyone needs it. For medical reasons, it is necessary
 Ladies and gentlemen, wrinkles are a sign of aging and your body size or type should not determine your happiness…..’
Personality matters more because, in years to come, our bodies will change physically. But what is inside stays the same. 
Your outlook on life, your heart, and your morals as a human being will still be there…It’s life.
You should never feel like you are less beautiful.
This article forms the basis of the conversations that continues through Life Skills lessons and debates among Happy House kids.
Its depth makes Margaret, who is in Form 2, feature unrivalled on our Academic Board of Fame this week.
We say thank you, to all those who  sponsor or support the Happy House, for your contribution toward helping to mould sparkling minds. Your contribution is not in vain.
Mr. Laurent
