    I was one of her AP psychology students at the high school she taught at; She is such an amazing person, coach, teacher, mother, and the list goes on and on. She was so involved in the community and was always, ALWAYS available if you needed help with anything. She was one of my cross country coaches for a little while and she was always cheering us on louder than anyone else at our races. She is 100% one of the most inspirational people I have ever met if not the most inspirational. I hope to run into her one of these days and just chat.

    Beautiful. I have alopecia too. I am not bald but I have had extreme hair loss. I used to have thick curly hair. I wear wigs and hats often but when I am at work I just sport my own crappy hair. Its embarrassing to have awful hair or no hair as a woman and as a woman who had really thick hair. I think that McKenna Reitz has the right idea. One has to really accept one's self as is. If you are comfortable with how you are others will be too.

    Just a quick note to clarify something about the term 'alopecia.' It's often used interchangeably with alopecia areata, but 'alopecia' actually encompasses different forms of hair loss, such as androgenetic alopecia, traction alopecia, and alopecia totalis. Being specific about the type of alopecia helps in accurate diagnosis and treatment.

      And alopecia universalis. I've had alopecia since I was 10 (now 68). Many years ago, I read that when someone gets alopecia as a child, they're able to handle it better. I'm sure that's not true for everyone. I was lucky to have parents who didn't overreact. As a consequence, I've always considered alopecia as somewhat of an inconvenience but not a life altering condition.

    • @billybathgate1836

      I'm so sorry about your condition. I've a scarring alopecia called Lichen Planopilaris.
      I was just mentioning that the term 'alopecia' just means hair loss. It doesn't mean alopecia areata, universalis, or totalis. Those are TYPES of alopecia (hair loss).

    Our hair for women is a part of our beauty and to lose it is so sad and the Dermatologists do not help much. people who have Auto immune diseases are very strong because I have Alopecia and it is not nice to see your hair just come out for no reason even though you eat healthy. Meicine works but not for people who have Auto immune diseases

    On the other side of our last breath is excruciating punishment or eternal joy. If you have not repented and Jesus has not transformed you, you might be in big trouble.There are some essential commands Jesus said. One was REPENT and believe the gospel. The next, the first verse below shows where someone asked Jesus about who is getting saved and Jesus said there is a narrow gate you MUST enter MANY will try and they will not be able. The seriousness and the cruciality of that statement is unmeasurable. Considering the stark differences these few phrases will have in someone's eternal destiny.This is Christ's measure of who has come to him and anyone who falls short of this will be cast out forever. In the fire that is unquenchable. Truly Horrifying. Jesus trains his servants in the great fire of affliction, giving them a glimmer of hell so they can warn others. Someone said in psalms IT IS good that I was afflicted that is how I learned your statues. And Jesus said faint not at my tribulations for you, which are for your glory. This is showing where a believer gets a taste of tribulations. And we know in the end will be the GREAT TRIBULATION WHERE God comes and renders judgement. Some things that keep us from God can be a love for money, self will, self pride, and not forsaking our own desires. Jesus wants all of us in exchange for eternal life. He says you were bought with a price. He's saying i purchased you, I redeemed you but I have some very high expectations of you. Which are to pray continuously, to continue reading the bible, to give a tenth of all you have to the church, to visit the widow and the fatherless in their affliction, to help those in need, to pray for the lost, and to go make disciples out of every nation. Spreading the word of God is not just for a preacher it is a job for all believers. We have to let people know what is at stake, we must fully inform ppl about what the bible says in hope of snatching them out of the clutches of Satan on the path to hell, totally blinded by the world. Serious self examination is necessary because the stakes are high. There is so much evidence in the bible of salvation and if you have none of it You are likely in big trouble and need to immediately throw yourself on the mercy of God and repent for sins and turn to Jesus in hopes that he will spare your soul from the lake of fire. The bible says if our gospel is hid, it is hid from those who are perishing, the God of this world (satan) has blinded their eyes so they cant see and cannot hear). PERISHING in contrast Jesus said he who believes in me WIll never die. Remember God knows whats in the heart if it is a life saving faith. Or do you have a kind of faith where none of this is really relevant, merely a waste of time. Jesus really asks for very little in light of eternal bliss, a Kingdom that will never end. With perfect justice and peace. Even in our life today though we have to give us things his way is better. He is the way the truth and the life and as the bible says broad is the way that leads to destruction. But that Narrow gate Jesus mentions leads to life. Jesus said if you seek me you will find me if you seek me with all your heart. Romans 10:9 if you can confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your that God has raised him from the dead you shall be saved. It is with the mouth one confesses and with the heart one believes unto salvation. Whoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
    Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them,24Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are:Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.27But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all workers of iniquity.28There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you thrust out.
    12 13But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. 14For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end; 15While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.
