We all struggle while growing up with what people think about us. It's hard enough maturing in America today with the role models that Hollywood gives us, the images that magazines fill our heads with what "healthy" should look like and our every day peers judging us if we don't look the way they think we should. Mandy went from a "normal" two armed, two legged, young girl to having an entire leg amputated and having people stare at her everyday. While growing up she tried to conform to society's "normal" but finally discovered that God had done this for a reason. It's not about fitting in by looking the way others want us to or think we should; it's about finding the joy, contentment and peace within ourselves in the unique way that God made each one of us.
This speech is geared for youth groups (high school to college).
