ABOUT MOLLY

My parents split around age 3, and since then, I've moved around a lot. At one point, my mom, sister, and I were living in an apartment with no money because my mom had just had surgery. After moving back and forth from one town to another, I started finding myself getting into beauty. I became so obsessed with my looks, that it eventually took over my mind. Because of this, I was anorexic. I was 5'4" and weighed 75 lbs. It got to the point where every time my mother hugged me, it was like holding a bag of bones. I then started looking into makeup, and I would watch YouTube tutorials and try my best to copy them.  I came across this girl named Talia. She suffered from neuroblastoma, a cancer found in the adrenal glands. Most of my time was spent watching this young girl do her makeup and put a video of it up on YouTube. As I started getting into makeup, my confidence grew and I eventually overcame anorexia. This girl, Talia, taught me to feel beautiful in my own skin. And that is what my intentions are with this project. 

Hello, my name is Molly Townsend, and I was born in Fayetteville, Arkansas 16 years ago. And I remember that my first goal in life was to make my mom proud. I started college at 14 years old, and am a Junior at Bentonville High School. I decided that I was going to go into the health care field, particularly pediatric oncology, because cancer is something that runs in my family, and I love to help people, specifically kids. At a very young age I was already wanting to help people, and I remember asking my mom for a white board so I could pretend to be a teacher and help my glass dolls. I've always had a heart to help. Cancer took the life of my aunt Mel, who was a nun, and who brightened the room every time she walked in. She was a travel nurse who lived in Brazil, and her passion was to help people as well. But cancer doesn't care if she was evil or kind. It just takes aim and shoots, without a thought, it has no feeling, it doesn't care if you are young or old. It just takes. It's like a dragon that opens it's mouth wide and bites with a vengeance. No mercy. But one thing cancer cannot take is the soul, the spirit, it cannot stop life from moving on. It can not take away memories, it cannot lesson faith or destroy peace. It cannot cripple love, and it cannot silence bravery.
