Sheryl Lee Ralph - Letters to the editor - Letter to the Editor

I would really like to thank you for the article, "Sheryl Lee Ralph: Thoroughly Modern Diva" (March 03). She has really inspired me when she says she works hard to keep the stress out of her life and keep her spirit young, fresh and alive. I am a 26-year-old hairstylist/full-time college student. I try to do the same thing. By working hard helps me to keep my mind off myself and on other people.

I've suffered from depression many years ago and I know what the effects can do to you. I've learned to practice better eating habits, started jogging, and went back to school. Laughter is a good medicine, relaxing taut nerves and easing weariness. Exercise is the best medicine for depression. Now, I feel so good that this year I am practicing to run a marathon. I'm working on getting in tip-top shape.

My dream is to become a model and later on in life become an actress. I would like to help other women in the world cope with depression.
