Very recently my heart has overruled my head. I have chosen to attend a Paul Mitchell School, rather than Westminster college, giving up a sixty-four thousand dollar scholarship and the opportunity to earn a degree in biology. To some this may seem very irrational and juvenile, but I feel that I am making the right choice for me. I am following my heart.
In high school, I did my best, graduating with honors, earning a 4.0 GPA and a seat as 14th in my class. I was a cheerleader as a sophomore, junior and senior, and I was a member of the National Honor society and Spanish Club. Like the rest of the top students in my highschool, college was my game plan. It was something that I was expected to do… but it never quite felt right. The only thing that got me excited about being a college student was having the opportunities to study abroad. I love to travel and experience different cultures. I am hoping that as a Paul Mitchell Professional, my opportunities in travel will not be limited.
The idea of being a cosmetologist has been a new aspiration of mine, but my love for beauty and fashion has been a part of me from the beginning. I feel like beauty and fashion are forms of art. With the right hair, makeup and attire you can make anyone look runway ready! Working with models for photo shoots and fashion shows is a dream of mine.
The whole idea of being a cosmetologist first came to me when I was with my mother when she was getting her hair done while on vacation in Florida. I moved to Pennsylvania from Florida about five years ago, so while vacationing my mother decided to pay her previous hairdresser, Pat, a visit. Pat owns and runs a couple Paul Mitchell salons and according to my mother, she is the best. Pat told me that I had a “good eye”, and asked me when I was starting beauty school. I just laughed at her and told her I was going to college. But then I began to consider it. When it first came to me that I could be a cosmetologist, a light turned on in my head. I am passionate about beauty and fashion, I love to be creative and I have always loved doing hair. Why would I do anything else?
I made my final decision after visiting the Paul Mitchell School I am going to attend. The positive, youthful and energizing environment is screaming “success!” I was getting choked up while touring the school because I was so excited. I am sure I will get the greatest education at a Paul Mitchell School.
I know that I will shine as a Paul Mitchell Professional. I am passionate and extremely excited about my future as a cosmetologist. I plan on doing my very best, working as hard as I can, and being completely dedicated to what I do. I will not settle. I will keep trying until I am at the top.
