What matters most is how I am as a person...as a female or how others see me or think of me. Growing up I was the only girl in my house. I had an older brother and a younger brother. And you know how brothers are, they would pick on me, said I looked ugly or like a man. And being around that I started acting like a tomboy. Not caring about my appearance or how I looked when I left home. I started fighting , and I actually was a bully. Then when I was six I started taking ballet lessons. Then I started liking the color pink and wearing tutus, but still had my tomboy side. And as time grew on and I got older my mom put me in Barbizon. Which is a school for modeling and acting. She put me in there because I didn't any friends that were girls and maybe change my appearance. Which it did. Going through Barbizon was one of the best things I ever did. I learned so many things. And so many friends. And made a lot of memories. One thing I learned from Barbizon was how to properly dress for anything or any occasion. Another thing I learned is how to star a conversation with someone I've never met. Barbizon has changed me in so many ways. I was never the outgoing, talkative person that I am today. So now before I go out I take the time to decide on what I'm going to wear. How my hair looks. If I wear any jewelry. And that's what matters to me the most.
