From an ugly woman to a beauty queen: a British student wiped her nose at offenders

Not all school years seem to be the best. Some children, unfortunately, face ridicule. Anything can serve as an excuse: taller than everyone in the class, too smart, too quiet. Most of all, those who are the victims of bullying want to wipe the nose of the offenders - and some succeed.

At one time, the British Jessica Geigen was also considered “not like that”. But she, like in the best films for teenagers, grew up, and made all her classmates regret their mistakes. She not only grew up and became a beauty, but also received national recognition at one of the largest beauty contests in the country.

1. Difficult childhood

Jessica Geigen remembers her childhood well. When she was in high school in the English county of Lancashire, her peers considered her an outsider because of ... unusual bright red hair. The children called her names, threw things at her, and even spat after her. The girl admits that it was a painful and very difficult period in her life.

2. Experience that makes you stronger

“I was very upset about all this. I was ashamed of my past and tried not to think about it. I remember how during the break I went to hide in the toilet and ate lunch all alone because no one wanted to sit next to me, ”admits Jessica.

3. Non-feminine matter

Then Jessica entered the university, where she began to study aerospace engineering. Not the most typical profession for a girl, but the life of a red-haired beauty has always been full of surprises. Geigen immersed herself in the study of a difficult discipline and completed her master's degree.
