On Wednesday, I graduated from Esthetician school! 💗 I was hesitant about posting pictures from the day. I’ve struggled with my self-confidence for a while, and although I wanted to pursue this path for years, I kept telling myself I would enroll once I lost the weight & felt confident enough. Meanwhile, I worked multiple unfulfilling jobs while life passed me by. I watched my peers advance in their careers, move into houses & start families. It felt like everyone had it figured out except me. One day, I looked in the mirror & didn’t recognize myself anymore. I slipped into a depressed mindset & isolated myself, missing many events with friends & family. I felt unworthy of having fun because of how I looked. I distanced myself from everyone & spent years feeling lost. I stopped posting full body pictures of myself on social media & often asked others to do the same. I spent so long trying to find my purpose without understanding why I never felt I had one. All I knew was that I wanted to help others feel confident, even when I didn’t. Becoming an Esthetician seemed like a good way to do that. I absolutely love when my service exceeds a client’s expectations, leaving them feeling beautiful & radiant. Turning 25 prompted a quarter-life crisis, and I felt like if I didn’t make the change now, I never would. I gained the courage to tour Brown Aveda & enrolled just 2 weeks before classes began. Forcing myself to break out of my comfort zone was one of the best decisions I’ve made. About a month into school, our family received serious news, but instead of giving up, I let it motivate me. My Granny stayed strong & I couldn’t be happier that she was there for my graduation. The girls I met helped me tremendously & I don’t know what I would’ve done without them! I met so many wonderful people who accepted me for who I am & never made me feel judged. I made friendships I hope last a lifetime & I’m so glad to have this experience to look back on. Thank you to my friends & family, especially my mom, dad, & Rob, for their unconditional love & support. Thank you to my educators & everyone who supported me in any way. I can’t wait to see what this next chapter brings! 💓
