Megan Tarzynski, 17, knows she lives in a world where looks are important, especially for teenage girls, but she is not ashamed of (...) her looks. At Notre Dame High School for girls, Tarzynski takes an active part in many activities. "I am involved with drama club and another club called Polish club," said Megan. Eighty-five percent of Megan's body is covered with what are called "port wine stains "caused by a serious illness. She also has glaucoma . Megan has been going to Children's Memorial Hospital for laser treatment since she was a child. When she was growing up, her mom, Karen Miller, had a hard time dealing with the public. "I'd be accused of beating her and burning her. I mean, it was very difficult, very difficult, and I was a young mom and just to hear those things from people was hurtful," said Karen. Support from her family and persons of her age have helped Megan accept herself. "I only wear make-up if I'm going out in public or some place where I would feel more uncomfortable," she said.

She said, "I don't judge Megan by her looks. She is a really cool person." "Megan is amazing. There is nothing that she can't do. She doesn't let anybody put her down.
