Kozi Gonqueh, Liberia "Who Am I?" competition finalist

	Kozi Gonqueh

I am 26 years old and see myself as one of the less fortunate people on the planet earth, because I look very ugly.

Let me give you brief description of myself.

I am about 7 feet tall with no spare flesh on my body, meaning I am boney with a very big head and ears.

Most embarrassing is my head, as it is larger than the regular size. It's about the size of a football.

Can it be that nature is unfair to me? Ugly to the extent that it is difficult for me to have a girlfriend, I often pay for sex in an area of Monrovia called Banana Bush.

I am a regular customer there so I have no difficulties in getting the best person.

My problems became even more complex when I decided to become a soldier during the revolution in my country, Liberia.

I fought for the National Patriotic Front, and I lost one of my eyes and broke two of my front teeth.

I am highly intelligent but my appearance does not qualify me for any sort of job.

I resorted to street preaching but I didn't get anywhere because my look is very unpleasant.

I am ashamed of how I look. Sometimes I blame Charles Taylor for my misery because he cost me my teeth and my eye.

However, I still believe I am a unique person and I can still make a positive impact despite my appearance.

From what I see, there are a lot of people like me. We are being discriminated against and it is a violation of our rights.

Therefore, I am contemplating establishing an organisation called the ASSOCIATION OF UGLY PEOPLE IN LIBERIA to advocate our rights to jobs and the same social benefits as ordinary-looking people.
