I got my ears pierced when I was 12. I looked up to my older cousin, and he had earrings. Will Smith on 'The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air' had the left earring. So I started with the left earring, and then two years later, I got the other one pierced.
We have to show respect for that woman who has cerebral palsy and had no choice in her condition, that needs help, and we should help.
