In Carol’s makeover video, viewed over 2.8 million times, she talks about the challenges and trauma she faced in her life.

“I’m 80-years-old…I’ve really paid my dues. I had some difficult times but I think the thing that did bother me the most was I just never felt special.” – Carol

Carol talks about how she was never a bride and didn’t get the chance to go to prom.

She brings up the fact that her birthday is January 2nd, which is when most people are ‘broke, hung-over or sick.’ Because of this, her birthday was rarely celebrated. Despite her struggles, Carol was successful in her professional life and she raised a son on her own.
