Miss Emily C.
Emily's essay is very well written and covers many facets of the topic. It is well structured as well and she brings the essay "full circle," concluding with reference to how she started it. We really liked that she traced true beauty to it's real source - not our own strength, but Christ. Excellent job, Emily!
