Ugly Betty shows us how to persevere

“But the most touching aspect of Ferreras achievement is what she said after winning the award. (Golden Globe)

“I dont really see Betty as ugly. I see her as closer to the real girls I see in life,” she was quoted as saying. “The title is about how we tend to call ourselves ugly if we dont reach the expectations that are set. There are millions and millions of ugly Betty’s in our own lives, and we need to stop using that word, especially to ourselves.”"
