Haha. When I was in the eleventh grade I interned at a fashion & modeling agency and instead of helping out in the office like I was supposed to be doing, I was being sent out to photoshoots and castings. It was pretty cool but I never defined myself as model, and never told any of my friends, I thought they wouldn’t understand, as I did not fit the ‘model mold’. It wasn’t until I finished university that I realized that breaking this idealistic skinny world is what I need to be doing. Only this time, I know, I am a model.
