Don’t give up! – My Story

Okay so feel that I just need to share with you all, that is does not matter what people think about you. When you try to do what you want with your life, like going after your dreams, goals, etc… You are always going to have hatters! Do not get discouraged by them, I have! It got me no where!  So that is why I am telling you not to give up!

My short story:

So growing up as good boy, knowing God my whole life. Why I felt that I was hated or had hatters and felt like giving up?
Because after being home schooled till 7 grade, getting thrown in to school I knew no one! And was every anti social, getting to know new people was hard at a young age and still to this day some times I still feel like it. Being called names as a new kid at school, the best one was “trailer” got it from trying to be friends with the so called “Cool Kids” I was just trying to be around them just to get noticed?

That was a dumb idea! Because it worked! May think it was cool, because I became one of the so called “Cool kids” but what do you know, that lead me into the drug world and life style. Don’t get me wrong I met some amazing people because of it and lost close friends cause of it. I started getting in trouble with my family the police & law, one thing after another! Felt my world was coming down on me!  But I still wanted more to feel like I mattered, “I do what I want” – I told myself.  After all that what you know found me sitting in jail for over 2months and I found out then. I did matter to some other not so much. It did not stop me from my true beliefs deep down in my heart! Even though I kept messing up going against my beliefs. I did not GIVE UP! 

Their was so something inside of me, that kept me going even when I did not want to & wanted to just give up!!!! We all feel it. Some give into it, some don’t! I tried everything under the sun to take the pain away from what I felt my life sucked so much. Thinking why did this happen to me!? Even though I put myself through it all. But having a loving family that kept telling me I can make it and not to give up. That is what I did! & did not GIVE UP! I kept fighting against the game we call life! I got out of the game after sitting in jail in 2009 made me realize things.

So after all that I have been through and seen, I am proud to say 3 years later of not giving up on myself! I am sober and loving life! This is what I have done for myself, I got into modeling in May 2011 and went from being drug dealer to a model kind of funny if you ask me and made it into a magazine! (: never would of thought! and trying to best to be a better person then I was!

 

There is so much more that happened in my life, but that is was just a over view of my life. to show you not to give up!! good things can happen to the worse of worse!

Being Professional when Modeling and Promoting

When it comes to being professional in the working field! that means you seriously got to take your responsibilities for the job your working for. witch in some cases you have to get facts or Info on the company or the modeling job your doing, so you can stand out of the rest of the models trying to get the same job.


Tips on being professional:

While your working with the company your promoting or modeling for, Honesty! that is rule number one! if you can not do something don’t lie, tell them how you feel about doing it, or I do not know how to do that, It is as simple as that.

I can not tell you enough! Reliability! if you are not Reliable, you will not get work again from that company or agency.  In the modeling industry, everyone talks to everyone! it’s wired but true. Two of my biggest jobs come from models not showing up to there gig! So show up!

Have Integrity! just because it is the right thing to do, people can tell weather or not, you do the right things or not by your actions.

Those are the 3 top things you need to have!!! I’ll share more latter (: stay tuned.
