"Beauty isn't
about having a pretty face," begins a motivational quote. "It's about
having a pretty mind, a pretty heart, and a pretty soul. Oh, and pretty nails!"
That may be Angela
Peters' motto. Last July, Peters, rolled her wheelchair into a nail salon (沙龙) at the Walmart shopping center in Burton to have her nails done.
But Peters, who has cerebral palsy (脑瘫), was turned
away. The salon told her that they were afraid it would be too difficult to
properly paint her nails given that her hands kept shaking. What was meant to
be a day of beauty for Peters was now a disappointment.
A Walmart cashier
about to go on her break happened to see this. Ebony Harris recognized Peters
as a Walmart regular. "She's just like everyone else. She wants to look
pretty. So why can't she?" Harris said.
Harris approached
Peters. "Do you want me to do your nails?" she asked.
A smile spread across
Peters' face. "Yeah!" Harris led Peters into the supermarket, where
they shopped for nail polish. They settled on a color that would catch every
eye. They then made their way into a neighboring Subway, found a table for two,
and started. Harris gently took Peters' hand into hers and carefully began
painting her nails. "She moved her hands a little bit, and she kept saying
she was sorry," Harris said. "I told her, ‘Don't say that. You're
fine.' She makes me look at life and appreciate it much more than I have."
Watching it all with surprise
and admiration was Subway employee Tasia Smith. Smith was so taken by the scene
that she wrote about it on Facebook. "She was so patient with her,"
she wrote. "Thanks to the Walmart worker for making this beautiful girl's
day!"
