A few years ago I attended an open call
for one of the top modeling agencies
in the country. I will never forget that day because they ripped
me to
pieces. They told me that my lips were too big, my nose too wide,
my skin
wasn't light enough or in other words in was too "ethnic"
looking for them. I
walked away feeling empty. I thought what a fool I was for spending two
hours
on the bus to attend this open call just to be told that I wasn't good
enough. While walking to the bus stop crying my heart out this homeless
guy
struck up a conversation with me. I told him what happened because at
that
time I just needed someone to talk to and I'll never forget his words he
said
"look at you you're beautiful you're doing just what they want you
to do feel
bad about yourself and think that you're not good enough yet they're the
ones
that's spend all that money trying to look like you". I never
forgot what he
said. those words gave me the desire to prove them wrong and let them
know
that I am just as good as those blond hair blue eyed girls that they
were
drooling over. I kept on pursuing my career and where that agency didn't
appreciate my beauty another one did. They signed me to a 2 year
contract and
through them I've booked several jobs even beating out some of the
models
from that "top" modeling agency. So the point of my story is
don't give up.
People will tell you things like you're not good enough but you have the
ability to control your own destiny and I'm honored to have the
privilege to
share some of my blessings with you please use them to your advantage.
