B.O.B numero uno

Choices, choices and more choices.

There are many choices we all have to make as individuals. Some being for the worst and some for the best. Some just not being what you want but you make the choice beyond your wants. I had a choice that i struggled to make at a point in my life. It may have not been what i wanted, but i knew it was the right one.

In the beginning of the school year, during first trimester,  i got chosen to be in an IMTA competition. For those who don't know what that means, it stands for International Modeling Talent Association. You could only be selected if you graduated from Barbizon modeling and acting school, which i did with Bridget Hudson and Serena Wilson when i was a freshman. Anyways the IMTA program prepares you to go to LA for multiple auditions in front of over 300 talent agencies and scouts. It also provides a photo shoot and alot of training. All this sounded like a dream come true, until i found out the cost of the program, which rounds out to be 4,000$. That doesn't even include the hotel, plane ticket for my mom and i or food for that week i would have been in LA. My mom, the sweet lady she is, was willing to make payments just so i can pursue my dream and go to LA. But, i knew if she did that my family would really struggle money wise. My family isn't rich, ha not even close so it would be a struggle for all the nine of us.  So, i had to make a choice. Go to LA and have my family struggle or drop out of the program so i could get a car and my family wouldn't struggle. The choice i made was to drop out of IMTA, even though i didn't want to. I made that choice because my mom doesn't have a job, my family isn't rich, and i knew my mom would struggle deeply  with paying that much money. Even tho i desperately wanted to go to LA, I knew it was the right decision not to go for my family's sake.
