When I started school , the other children WERE ALWAYS LAUGHING at me
because I was shorter than they were and I wasn't very pretty. By the time I left
school, however, I HAD GROWN a lot and was the second tallest girl in my whole
class.
Some years later, I WAS STUDYING law at the university when a friend suggested
that I should take up modelling. I was surprised, because, before then, I HAD
NEVER THOUGHT of myself as being attractive, but she disagreed. Like many of
my university companions , she got a part-time job and WAS WORKING in the
evenings as a part-time model for one of the big agencies. When I left university,
I DECIDED to join her.

Since then, I HAVE BEEN WORKING as a fashion model and I love it a lot.
I TRAVEL all over the world for the big fashion magazines and I HAVE ALREADY
HAD many great experiences.

Recently, though, I HAVE BEEN READING the autobiography of a famous model.

She writes about the difficulties that older models are facing and now I AM
GETTING more worried about my future. Should I change my career ? I have
always liked the idea of acting and at the moment I AM THINKING of having
lessons. Sometimes I regret that I HAVE NEVER TAKEN the time to practice law !
