From first grade through fourth, I had to wear heavy orthopedic shoes because of my weak ankles. I sounded like overweight elephant wearing bricks whenever I took a single step. "Hey, Bigfoot!" "Geez, you're going to start an earthquake!" Then in sixth grade I had to start wear glasses. Mom asked for the least expensive ones and that made me look like a fool. "Four eyes!" "Couldn't you cover up more of your faces? Why stop at the eyes?" In Seventh, I started competing on the city swim team, thinking that if I got a killer body, nobody would notice my face.

I still do kind things because I like the feeling I get when I am helping people. I, with my friends, went to Children's hospital, playing games and reading to the sick kids. I still had wet red and not a smart look, but you cannot tell me I am not beautiful. Every time I visit...

Under the Fly Baggage system passengers can check luggage in at 116 railway stations and have it automatically carried to their flight. The national highway system is equally well planned, and the mountain roads offer views of some of the country's most breathtaking scenery. Also serving the mountains is an effective system of railways and cable ways, while more than 160 passenger cars cross the lakes and rivers to and fro.
