When I was growing up I was overweight, tomboy, never wore makeup, never did my hair, and I was bullied allot. People used to call me “Mr. Man” and many more hurtful names. Life became so difficult to live day after day. After a while, I started fighting everybody that made fun of me.
Although people wouldn’t make fun of me as much after that, I was still mad at the world. Mostly because all that fighting put me in juvenile hall and probation. So I decided to finally put my anger into something productive. I started competitive boxing and it was good! It built my confidence, I lost weight, gained self-control, made a lot of friends, and took out my anger at the gym. The style came shortly after. Haha.
My grandparents paid for me to take some modeling classes locally and since then I always dreamed about being a model. Honestly, I never thought it could really happen, but I worked my butt off and never gave up because it doesn’t hurt to try.
