That little girl became me now. I have accepted it and I'm thankful that my picture worked for good.

I had a lot of pity for myself. But I could concentrate more on my studies as a result.

I did not think that I could marry or have any children because of my burns. But now I have a wonderful husband, a lovely child and a happy family, thank God.

From time to time I look at the picture when I am very sad. I just want to remember my past and that scene made a deep impression on me.

I remember June 8, 1972. I saw the airplane. And it's so loud, so close to me. Suddenly, the fire everywhere around me. The fire burned off my clothes. And I saw my arm got burned with the fire. I thought, oh, my goodness, I get burned. People will see me different way.

I was really embarrassed. And I asked why they took my picture when I was in such agony, and I'm the girl, in the moment that I was naked, burning, hopeless, crying - so ugly. And I asked why they took my picture at that that moment? I didn't like it at all.

I really want to say, 'Thank God I'm alive.' I want to forgive the people who caused my suffering. I did.

I count my blessings and do things to help others.

I have two boys, so I don't want any more child to suffer like me.
