So recently I read something (not sure what it was , probably home work) and it asked me what would I want to be as a back up career if my main career goals didn't pan out , and I was just beside myself .. To this very moment I still don't know .
For any of you that have actually seen my Facebook page (aka online portfolio) , or read a lot of my other posts , my passion is hair . It's what I love to do and what I have been doing my whole life pretty much . I started getting more and more into hair dressing around 7-9 years old , and I wanted to try every thing I saw , wanted to watch all the hair dressers at the stores , and all the shows .. And I wanted more than anything to practice , but no one wanted to let the little 9 year old experiment on them .. So I did my own hair . I have taught myself almost every thing I know about hair , how to do it , how to maintain it, and how to keep it healthy . When I was about 12 , I decided I wanted to own my own salon , that hair was what I wanted to do for the rest of my life .. But I also didn't want to be working under some one else for the rest of my working years , as you know from previous posts I'm not good with rules .. Every one tried to give me reasons as to why it wouldn't work . "You'll never be able to afford the building" , "You wont be able to handle standing on your for feet all day" , "You ALREADY have back problems" , "do you know how many hair salons there are ? what makes yours so special?" , And the best of all , "you can never run a business w/o a business degree" . Let me just say something .. I get that these are all real problems that may occur , real scenarios that could prevent me from doing this job for the rest of my life .. but you know what .. This isnt my LEGACY for no reason . This is what I am good at and what I love .. No , as of right now I don't have a fall back , but you know what , IM YOUNG . I have time . And in response to those comments ..
1. If I save up enough money , I can have any building I please
2. I've stood longer, walked longer, and it's not like i'm not ALREADY doing hair all the time , I'll just have a designated spot for it .. let me worry about my feet
3. I am working on getting my paper work in order tomorrow so I can get my physical therapy and hopefully not have to live with this bad of a back well into my adult years .
4. YES , there are a lot of salons , great ones at that .. But none of them have ME !
5. and YES I absolutely can run a business w/o a degree . I learn fast and I don't remake old mistakes . If I can manage myself I can manage a building , it really isnt much different . I need to handle to income and output of the cash flow , monitor the stock in the store , do taxes on time , keep tabs on my employees , make sure my building it up to code and DO GREAT HAIR .
So , if you would like to help me along with my dream , and you live in sacramento .. I would love some new clients ! (: I do a range of hair styles and designs . I will post a link to my page which includes what I can do , what I have done , and a price chart ..
Help me live my dream ..<3

High School
Can every one just agree that high school is just a pain in the ass ? Between the work , the drama , relationships , earning independence , the responsibilities .. That's just the average , but every teen has their very own trials and tribulations to add to that . Some have abusive parents , some have no parents , some are battling weight issues , some being bullied , some raising their siblings , some raising their own kids .
Believe it or not there are some kids who go through it all . For me , high school has been a series of horror stories . Freshman year , I started in Visions . I started off great , then last minute we got told we had to move in two weeks , less than a week before we had to be out our car broke down on the freeway and we had no transportation . We rented a U-Haul , got a storage , packed it as much as we could and put what wouldn't fit there into our useless car that sat in the parking lot of my moms school . We stayed in motels for about a week before we found a place to move into .
The day we looked at the place, not even 15 minutes before we met with the land lady , my school calls me telling me that they are scheduling an academic intervention because I haven't been doing my school work . Mind you , Visions is mostly electronic now , and the computer they gave me was sitting in a storage unit , 6 miles from our motel room . I decided then , they if they cant work with me under such circumstances , it wasn't even worth it .. And I stopped trying in school . Worst mistake of my life .
January of 2012 , I un-enrolled from Visions , and enrolled into Options . I walked in with 55 credits and a terrible disposition towards school in general . I am currently 84 credits away from graduating , and I've closed out every class I have taken in the past year with nothing less than a B- .
The point behind this whole story is that high school is shit . It's hard , it's unpleasant , nobody wants to do it . But the rewarding feeling you get when you're almost to the end , makes the entire experience worth it in the end . Although I have never gone to public high school , I have still endured my fair share of drama and BS . Between family problems , former friendships , relationships .
Being homeschooled does not by any means make high school easier , you just get to wake up later is all . I hate to see kids give up on school . I grant you , I have thought about it a couple times , but I know now , that it would have been my biggest mistake , and my biggest regret . It's not easy and it's not fun , but it's a stepping stone to something much bigger .
What people don't understand is that , our economy can't get any better unless we help it . What it needs is motivated young adults to get themselves through high school , and then through college , whether that be university , community , or vocational . To get in , get the tools they need to succeed and make their imprint on the world . I know to any one in high school , that seems far fetched and a long time from now , but it really isn't ! Our future is right around the corner , we just have to be will to make the turn <3
