It was a cloudy morning. A new student named Maddie arrived in our class. She sat right beside me. Instead of looking away, Maddie studied my face. This made me so nervous. Clouds came through the window and filled my heart. Suddenly, she said something I would never forget.
“Sally, right ”she said.“You have a red rose on your face. How beautiful!”

I looked up and met her smiling eyes. Although I only replied“thank you”, it turned sunny in my heart. When I got home, I rushed to the bathroom and looked in the mirror. For the first time, I could look at my birthmark without quickly turning away. The shape of it was truly like a flower. The next day, to my surprise, Maddie painted a red rose on her own face!

People always look at me in surprise. “You must be good at basketball,” my classmates at primary school always said that. Now at junior high, my classmates say the same. In fact, I’m not good at basketball at all. But being tall is not always bad. It makes me easy to recognise, and I can help others reach things down.
