When I was three years old, I fell from my bike while playing outside. As a result, I damaged my jaw and gum, and broke my frontal teeth.

As it was done very prematurely, soon ugly teeth started to grow in their place; they got bigger and bigger. They did not only appear ugly and giant in my little mouth, but also prevented the normal growth of other teeth. In addition, because of them, I could not fully close my mouth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; color: #808080;\">When I turned six and went to school, my classmates used to make fun of me a lot. Because of my unusually big teeth, they called me \u201cTooth\u201d. I became even more isolated because of that. I tried not to associate with anyone. From those years, I had a secret dream that was always in my heart. I dreamed about a day when I too would have beautiful, symmetrical teeth. My mother was very troubled because of me and made many inquiries with dentists about correcting my teeth. However, because the treatment was very expensive, and we could not afford it, having beautiful teeth continued to remain a dream.<a href=\"https:\/\/gayanehakobyan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/2-\u0537\u0564\u0563\u0561\u0580-\u0544\u0565\u056c\u0578\u0575\u0561\u0576-e1523697120431.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3241\" src=\"https:\/\/gayanehakobyan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/2-\u0537\u0564\u0563\u0561\u0580-\u0544\u0565\u056c\u0578\u0575\u0561\u0576-e1523697120431.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"997\" height=\"743\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gayanehakobyan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/2-\u0537\u0564\u0563\u0561\u0580-\u0544\u0565\u056c\u0578\u0575\u0561\u0576-e1523697120431.jpg 997w, https:\/\/gayanehakobyan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/2-\u0537\u0564\u0563\u0561\u0580-\u0544\u0565\u056c\u0578\u0575\u0561\u0576-e1523697120431-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gayanehakobyan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/2-\u0537\u0564\u0563\u0561\u0580-\u0544\u0565\u056c\u0578\u0575\u0561\u0576-e1523697120431-768x572.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gayanehakobyan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/2-\u0537\u0564\u0563\u0561\u0580-\u0544\u0565\u056c\u0578\u0575\u0561\u0576-e1523697120431-966x720.jpg 966w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 997px) 100vw, 997px\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; color: #808080;\">Along with the school, I attended the Development Center of \u201cGo and See\u2026\u201d Social Ministry, where they taught that God Who created the Universe is good and He answers prayers of faith.
