How I Was a Princess
It’s summertime, and once again I see too many girls out there dressed 
as princesses. I can’t help but think that these girls are doomed to grow up more vulnerable and insecure than they otherwise would because
we teach them to place too much emphasis on their looks, – a risky asset that tends to deteriorate with time, – vs. giving priority to their character, hard work, and achievements.
Some girls do resist being turned into “cuties” and I applaud them; some, like me, get lucky to avoid the trap. In sharing my personal princess’ experience I chose to be humorous. But I know you’ll get the point.
