About Me:
I am a high school teacher. I have been teaching art for 20 years and I love my job. I started loosing my hair in December (2011). By the end of January, it was all gone. It has been a very difficult time. My students have been very supportive and I am so grateful for that. I have been wearing head wraps most of the time. I prefer to be up front about what is happening to me. People can wonder or they can ask me what is going on. Some days are so hard that I can't stand to look at myself. I wake up most mornings forgetting that my hair is gone until I touch my head. My husband is my rock. He has been there 100%. Thank God for him.

A woman that worked/owned the restaraunt came over to us and asked me very nicely if I had alopecia or cancer. I said I had alopecia and she says, "Me too," and pulled off her wig right there!! I was shocked…
