FINAL Q&A:

Question: Do people think you're not intelligent just because you're beautiful?

Answer: Well for me... beauty is not only the physical...It is beauty of the intellect, beauty of our...insights. And I see that...people misjudge those who are beautiful. We are beautiful within which shines through, for myself, through a beautiful smile. Thank you.
