This is what our students saw, on a piece of paper. From there, they had to decide - do I WANT to participate? The easy answer is: NO.
 
Why on earth would anyone want to enter the unknown - put their art out there in front of everyone to see and to judge? So, NO. It is decided. We will not do it!
 
Then, the piece of paper comes to life. In our voices. The voices of the instructors, the voices of fellow classmates, our family and the voices of students who have attended previous years.  Words of encouragement from each other - and our confidence grows. Maybe we can do it! We start to say it out loud - it sounds okay. Our friends are IN - at least we will be together.
 
Ok, I'll do it!
 
But wait, it isn't over.
 
Who will model? What will they let me do with their hair? Why did they back out on me? How can I afford to go? Why did my classmate and best friend back out on me? Why did work say I can't have the weekend off? Why am I getting the flu? Why did this haircut/style/color not turn out how I envisioned it? Why did it turn out exactly how I envisioned it and my model doesn't like it?  What am I going to wear? How can I leave my family for 3 days?
Is this really going to be worth it?
 
Understandably, some drop out of the race here. However, they WILL cheer their fellow classmates on as the rest load up their cars with models, make-up, hair supplies, clothes and 20 pairs of shoes.
 
In the end - was it all worth it?
 
You will hear a loud YES!
 
The relationships get stronger, confidence grows, education happens and the memories last a lifetime - win or lose.
 
We couldn't be more proud of our 80+ students who marched themselves into the experience this year!
 
And we celebrate, together, as only a family can, the 11 who brought back trophies.
