Re: Make-up worn at school
life is about learning but also discipline - you don't make money and get on without applying yourself [discipline] - I counsel young people starting a trade training - I tell them see my job - see my car - that's obtainable with hard work, study and discipline - otherwise you have to steal them!

She's exceptionally bright at school and is doing extremely well; she has her university already selected and has read extensively outside school in order to pursue her chosen career in psychiatry. Sometimes, those that don't look as though they fit the norm, do. Makeup or not, I'm very proud of her.
