Remember that Internship I told you all about with Erin Reynolds at Fashion Magazine?
I definitely would've never thought I'd be where I am today, and having the opportunities that I have. I have never been confident in myself or in my abilities, I was, and still am afraid of trying new things...
But not this time, because this time around I knew I had to go to Toronto, and just go to this interview. What do I have to lose? School is almost over, so where do I see myself? My good friend Viviana and I booked bus tickets to Toronto, and we were on our way. My trip was only going to be approximately 36 hours. In and out! My interview was at 2:00 pm on Tuesday the 16th. To say I was nervous would be an understatement. Nerves doesn't even begin to describe what I was feeling! From the time I arrived in Toronto, to the time I got in a taxi to my interview, was an absolute blur. I am not kidding you! I remember freaking out for hours up until the minutes my interview began.
Then something happened. I stood, shook hands with Erin, and everything was calm. I was excited and confident. I walked tall and smiled. All of sudden I loved the things I hated moments before; My hair, my makeup, my outfit and shoes all of sudden looked really good.
The interview lasted about 45 minutes. It was great! I learned a lot about Fashion Magazine. We talked about photography, editing, beauty and the art of makeup photography. We even talked about having the opportunity to meet my favourite photographer Natasha V.
All I can say is that I am on cloud nine. Even if I don't get picked for this internship, I am glad that I took a chance and went to Toronto. If this was me a year ago I would have shut the idea down right away!
Today, I am proud of me.
