My name is Bella. I am 29 years young, and I have wanted to be a model for as long as I can remember. Through ten years of hard work and perseverance, I have finally made it there. When I was young I took classes for modeling and acting at a local talent school. I also took many dance classes growing up, from ballet to tap and jazz. When I was in high school I started gymnastics and cheerleading. Now my favorite hobby is playing DanceCentral on the Xbox. Things are never easy, and you always have to sacrifice one thing to get something else you want. My biggest piece of advice is that when you truly want something so bad you can practically taste it: Don’t give up. Don’t ever give up, don’t ever be afraid, and don’t ever look back. The door to tomorrow always opens right in front of you.
