Inspirational People






“I am proof that disfigurement doesn’t have to destroy lives” - Katie Piper



I have recently began reading the autobiography by Katie Piper detailing her life from her idyllic childhood all the way through her teenage years, and upto the day that changed her life forever.
I think Katie is one of the most inspirational people to ever have walked our planet. I believe this because she is just an ordinary woman who wanted to make the best of her life, and she really did give it a go. From beauty therapy to modelling, you name it Katie didnt let any of it phase her.
The day she was attacked, she was stripped of all of her natural exterior beauty that she and her fans were so proud of, and her life changed forever. The most inspirational part of her story to me, is the fact that after she began to come to terms with what had happend to her, which really wasnt easy, she carried on and began to help others who had either been born with a disfigurment or had been attacked just like herself.



As the years progress I take great pleasure in watching Katies television programmes and reading about how well she is doing; not just with 'The Katie Piper Foundation', but how she is progressing personally.
'The Science Of Seeing Again' is the most touching programme I viewed recently. Katie was told she may be able to regain her eyesight in the eye that was damaged, and I found myself praying that it works for her.

The men that attempted to destroy Katie succeded in the short term, Yes, they took away her natural beauty for a couple of months and made her feel terrified to even look at another man. However she hasnt been defeated and in true Katie style, she has picked herself up from the most horrific experience and she has made something of it.
