Hi, I’m ELLIE and I have Alopecia, a rare condition that stops my hair from growing. That's right, I'm completely bald! Before you start to feel sorry for me, I'll have you know that I think it kinda makes me look cool. However, my MOM didn't seem to think so and ever since I we found out I had it, she fussed over me while completely ignoring my twin sister TESSA. This of course made Tessa hate me, and she made it her mission to make my life difficult.

Like this one morning, I was asleep when I was jolted awake by freezing water on my face.

"What the heck Tessa! The water's freezing!"

"Ellie why are you screaming? Are you feeling OK?"

"Mom, I’m fine."

"Tessa! Did you just pour water on Ellie? Why would you do that especially in her condition?"

"You sent me to wake her up so I did! For goodness sake mom, it's just water! Ellie is just bald and not a fragile egg!"

Tessa was annoying but she was right. Mom treated me like I was going to break any minute. She was always buying oils and products she thought would "heal" me.

"Ellie, honey, I met this woman at work who recommended some special oil that helps hair grow within a week! I'm so excited for you to try it!"

"Thanks for trying to help mom but I don't need to be fixed. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm late for school."
