So I've taken some time off here for a couple of months for the Holidays from my full time career.  Not everyone can do that i know. But I quit my full time job back in August so that I could follow my dreams and be able to do that!  I am only 23 years old and I stay at home - and I model!  I have been modeling on and off now since I was 11 years old and I love it.  Times get hard and jobs get few and far between but with every one - I have hope that maybe THIS is the one... maybe THIS will get me somewhere.  But in all reality, I know that whatever happens happens.  People can say I'm too short or not "experienced" behind the camera enough - they can say I'm nothing special.  I know this isn't true.  I know I have something special and I can only make it if I try.  Even if all I ever do is odd jobs locally left and right - I will be happy.  I LOVE what I do! I am creating my own path and overcoming so many obstacles I went through to get where I am at and I am lucky enough to be able to not work.  I am thankful for everything I have in my life.  Some people think that being a minority is an obstacle in itself, some think that it makes things easier - I agree with both.  I have never been handed anything (including scholarships) just for being a minority.  However, I have worked harder and appreciated everything I have ever had because I knew I worked for it!  I absolutely love where my family comes from - a background of hard work and dedication... and I know that no matter where I end up in this crazy career of modeling - I will be proud of myself and hold my head up high.  I will never look back on my life and say... what if... because I am doing exactly what I wanted to do all my life!!!  One day at a time...
