I have always been told since I was in elemntary school that I wouldn't be able to do much with a career because I am not academically there. I have always struggled with the academic courses, but have always tried and hardest and pushed through. I am not the brightest and I am creative and I use that everyday.
In gr.5 I decided I was going to pursue my creativity into hairdressing. I used to dye my hair from black to blonde to red to purple all the time. Eventually I was told there was a course up at VIU called the "CTC". I was so anxious to get enough credits to do this because this is what I have always dreamed of doing. Just recently I have been getting into makeup also, so now I am wanting to be a stylist, but I am more focused on hairdressing. One step at a time.
I can't believe anyone would tell you that there is something that you can not do. It is a lie - you can do anything because I have seen how hard you work and how focused you are when you are truly interested. It outrages me to think that anyone would dare to say to an elementary school aged child that there is something in the world they cannot do - that is not right.
ReplyDeleteI am glad to hear that you are excited about hairdressing and esthetics. I am sorry to hear that people tried to break your spirit and glad to know that it did not work.
