I am sure you will understand everything I say in this video using intermediate leveled English

for beginners to advance to the next level.

First, I'll tell you my story slowly,

and then I will repeat it naturally.

No matter if you're a beginner, intermediate listener, or advanced listener,

you will learn something new with this video.

So, today I was having a live on TikTok and I saw myself in the camera.

I noticed this curly hair right there.

I hadn't seen this curly hair in a long time.

It's like it has a mind of its own.

It does whatever it wants to do,

no matter what I try to control it.

It's uncontrollable.

It's probably been about five years since I last saw it.

When I was 17 years old, I shaved my head.

I think I looked pretty cool.

So I remember I kept on shaving my head every time it grew out a little bit.

I shaved my head for a couple years until I decided to let my hair grow out.

I kind of missed my long hair.

I missed going to the beach and leaving with curls from the salty ocean water.

I missed feeling my hair blowing in the wind.

And I especially missed my mom braiding my hair.

I love to have my hair braided.

It's the best feeling.

Once I started letting it grow, it grew slowly.

It went through awkward stages as well.

Stages where I couldn't control it or even put it in a ponytail.

It was puffy, curly I'll show you guys some pictures here my hair wouldn't

fit into a bun either a bun up until a

year ago my hair finally started fitting into a bun and

And now my hair is actually back to the length that I normally had it my whole life.

Since I was a little girl, I had long hair.

My mom loved my long hair.

So when I shaved my hair off, my mom was very sad.

My hair is finally the same length as it was my entire life.

That's why you can see this curl is back.

And it felt very nostalgic.

I remember this curl.

I remember it in school photos.

I remember trying to straighten it with a curling iron every morning before going to school.

And you might wonder why a curling iron and not a straightener.

I didn't have a straightener.

We only had a curling iron, so I had to try and straighten it with the curling iron.

I remember looking at this curl in the mirror every day at school,

in elementary school, middle school, high school, and now it's here again.

It hasn't gone anywhere.

It made me feel like a little girl again.

It made me feel connected to every version of myself.

Sometimes it feels like that version of me,

the version of me that had curly, crazy hair, is so distant,

far away, like she's a different person than the person I am now.

But seeing my curl reminded me that she's still there.

That little girl with the crazy hair, the uncontrollable hair.

I feel like a person's hair says a a lot about them.

Don't you think?

Every person that I know that has messy hair,

no matter if it's curly or straight or wavy,

has an unpredictable side to them.

They are free.

I feel like it's because usually things that make you feel free also make your hair messy.

Like swimming, like running, like jumping, like dancing.

I feel like anything that makes your hair messy is worth doing.

So mess up your hair as much as you can.

Do you have any distinguishable features that define you in your hair,

in your eyes, maybe your nose?

maybe your eyebrows, your legs,

your fingers, anything that brings you back to your younger self,

that reminds you of past times, speaking of your younger self.

How could I be the confident,

loud, adventurous woman I am without my dad?

The person who taught me to be resilient.

The person who pushes me to be a better person every day.

Happy Father's Day, Dad.

Anyways, this girl reminds me of my spontaneous,

adventurous, daring, happy, authentic self.

Tell me, what part of you makes you feel like yourself?

A curl? Could be, maybe.

It's so uncontrollable.

It's just always there and it will always be there.

All right, well that's my story.
