Answer 1

Diary Entry
\textit{Date:}
I do really thank my stars for bringing Mr. Lamb into my life. He opened my eyes to the possibilities I had never seen before. For so long, I wasted my time in self-pity, hiding from the world because of my face. I thought no one would accept me, and I stopped trying to live fully. Mr. Lamb changed everything. His words of wisdom and his cheerful approach to life taught me the value of embracing who I am. He showed me that appearance doesn’t define a person; it is the heart and actions that truly matter. I now feel more confident and ready to face the world.
