Affraid to Smile

Tara is our 14 year old daughter. She's incredibly vivacious, witty and has a fantastically quirky sense of humor. She's the oldest of four and is incredibly responsible. She's quick to always help with her siblings and often gives of her own time voluntarily to babysit them and supports them with all of their sporting events and activities. She'll be a freshman in high school this fall and has signed up for numerous civic clubs, debate, and will be playing golf.
It's obvious that Tara's smile, or inability to show it, holds her back so much. I don't have any pictures of her smiling with her teeth and even in candid shots of her laughing it's obvious that she's very self conscious and is quick to hide her smile.
Please consider her for the 'Jolley' Smile contest. It would be life changing for a beautiful girl filled with so much energy and potential that truly deserves to let it shine through a beautiful smile.
