Meet Natalie Brueggemann!  Natalie is an 11-year-old 6th grader who is an actress and is active in her church and school community.  She is the founder of Be Kind Kids, an organization that takes days to spread acts of kindness around her community.  I have known Natalie since she was 8 years old and was so glad when she agreed to be IntervYOUed to give the perspective of a middle school girl, since research shows that building positive self-image is so important at that age.  Even more special though is that Natalie is very brave to share with us what it is like to have a medical condition that can affect her appearance and how she does not let that change her self-esteem.  You can learn more about Natalie on her Facebook page:
