Can Beauty Be Constructed?

       Aimee Mullins, featured on My 12 Pairs of Legs Ted Talk, proves that beauty can be constructed through how Aimee lives her life. Aimee Mullins is a model, American athlete and fashion designer. She lived her whole life standing on prosthetic legs but that did not stop her at all from growing up to be a beauty woman and accomplishing her goals. She did not let her disabilities hinder her in her life. Aimee used her constructed prosthetic legs to assist herself in her athletics, academic studies and ultimately attaining beauty. This shows that even though she is disabled she did not let it affect her in being the funny, kindhearted, attractive and intelligent woman she is today. This can be a lesson for anyone who may feel that they are not beautiful or that they could use some improvement. If they feel that way then they should go ahead and construct their own unique beauty. If one puts in the rigorous effort and hard work towards their goals then they will be rewarded with a positive outcome.

            Beauty can be constructed in the sense that we as humans can help ourselves attain beauty and construct it for ourselves. An example of this in my life where I wanted to construct my own beauty was when I was a freshman in high school. I always wanted to be a varsity wrestler for my school team and I looked up to those who were seniors in my high school who wrestled. After much effort and work I put into each practice I grew to become a better wrestler. Finally after years of effort I achieved what I always wanted from freshman year, a better body, a strength increase and the title of varsity wrestler. Staying consistent with the positive qualities we show towards others such as kindness and support can be beneficial to constructing beauty.
