My daughters are lovely and attractive. The 4-yearold has big blue eyes and easy laughter. The 7-year old’s long strawberry blond hair and sweet smile are already turning the boys’ heads. I love everything about these girls. and they know it.

But I try not to tell them they’ re beautiful. My young daughters are totally innocent about the pressur es of being a woman in our society. They know nothing about plastic surgery, diets. “feeling fat”, or eating disorders. We adults know all too much about such things and in the face of this cruel reality we tend to start telling our girls,as soon and often as possible, how beautiful they are. Here’s the thing. though. What we’re also doing is bringing the beauty pressure home to our littlest girls. The more I talk about beauty and looks, even in a positive way. ,the more I’m conveying the importance of thos e things.

However, it doesn’t mean I don’t praise my girls. Instead of saying “You look beatutiful!” I might say the more specific “Don’t you look fancy today!” or “Those colors go so well together. ” It means that I treat my daughters not as my little dolls, but as real people who are developing their own sense of self and style. It means that they are in change of how they look.

Naturally, I buy most of my girls clothes. But I don’t usually manage their outfit （整套衣服）choices. My daughters can go girly with necklaces and head-to-toe pink, or they can choose to give up dresses altogether. Of course we’ve seen some mismatching, but they own those styles. They never ask if they look pretty, and they

walk with an easy confidence that has nothing to do with what l or anyone else will say about how they look. And that’s the confident spirit I want them to take into their teens and adulthood.

My friend Jason and I wanted to do something to help other people who are less lucky and help us grow at the same time. After we decided that we would volunteer in Nepal, I did some surveys on the Internet and I found an organization called Volunteer(志愿者) Nepal and felt strongly that it was the right choice for us.

While making our plans, Jason and I realized that others might like the chance to be a part of our experience. So before leaving for Nepal, we asked the people we know whether they would be interested in donating(捐赠) money or goods to Nepal Orphans Home.

One friend, whose family owns a shop called Drake Supermarket, told others about it. Many people wanted to donate something. We received donations that filled 29 boxes with sporting goods, toys, coloring books, pencils, children's books, and more, The boxes were later taken to Drake's warehouse(仓库) where I prepared them for shipment. Drake agreed to ship them to Nepal for free .

The boxes had arrived at the Volunteer House when we arrived there. The next day, Jason and I opened the boxes. The children from the orphanages(孤儿院) stood in a line and were able to choose a gift. This took about an hour, but the looks on their faces and the happiness that we saw in their eyes made it one of the best days of our life.

We visited the orphanages there in the following days. Being with the children at the orphanages was both sad and wonderful.
