    There was one beautiful red rose on my desk. It emitted a sweet fragrance just for several days, but as time went by, its leaves began to change color.  And so I had to throw it away while holding my nose.  After getting rid of the flower, I picked up a fashion magazine and turned on the TV as I do usually. Whenever i saw the perfectly gorgeous models on it, I suffered from depression  and obsession because i desired to have charisma and beauty like them.  I thought physical       beauty would bring happiness and success in life until I watched a TV documentary shows later on that day.

    I couldn't forget the moment when i saw a beautiful lady, holding a black child hand and singing a song.  Her smile and eyes looking at the poor were too dazzling to compare with any actresses I wanted to be like.  Her name was Audrey Hepburn who made me relized what beauty really is. She always made an effort to be better as an     actress and as a person. Audrey impressed an audience with her acting in Roman holiday, and she spent the rest of her life helping underprivileged people. For example, she became an ambassador to United Nations Children's Fund and worked for needy children, in Africa.

 Even though she got through a lot of painful experiences like divorce, illness, and World War II, she never lost her inner beauty and compassion to the world. I think those pains made her more dedicated to devote her life to charity.

 Audrey's external beauty made her own charisma and happiness. After I watched it, I looked at my self again. How come I don't make an effort to make myself beautiful in the inside?  I have realized that inner beauty emmits a sweet fragrance even efter a person's death as compared with the sent of the red rose. As if we still remember her beauty even though she passed away. Nobody thinks that she is an old woman.

To have inner beauty is really valuable because it can be lasted by your own good personality and warm heart, which try to help people
