Don't Worry I'm not dropping out! Lets talk goals, so at the
school I attend we have a Honors program and a Deans list.
I'm not going to try, I'm going to succeed and accomplish these for myself. For deans list I have to have certain things completed.
So I'm currently working on my color honors and texture honors as well. I have to have color, texture and cutting honors all completed for deans list. I'm sure you guys don't really care much about all of this but I want to put it down in writing so I can hold myself accountable to accomplish all of my goals.
I set these goals for myself when I had first started my school journey. Now that I'm almost done I'm setting my mind to these once more and I'm going to complete them. Putting out into the universe as of right now.
A lot of people make it seem that cosmetology school is just fun and games, but in reality its not. Yeah of course I have fun at school but that's because I enjoy what I'm learning. But just like everything else we have book work, assignments, test and even classes to prepare us for our state board test. We bust our butts so that way at the end of the day we know what we need to know and we are able to apply that knowledge out in the field per-say. I put so much pressure on myself everyday to try and get people to come in and get the hair done because not having clients isn't an option. In this industry you have to make a name for yourself. No one else will. You have to be putting yourself out there to be know and to because that name that if someone hears it they'll know exactly who you are and what you do, what you're best at, and that you're work is worth the money.
One of my biggest idols in this industry is Larisa Love. Her work is remarkable. She makes doing hair look easy and fun. She works with CosmoProf and travels around the world because she's such a successful Hairdresser. She's made her name in the industry and now all she has to do is do what she loves for the rest of her life. I aspire to know like how she is. I look up to her and so many other people because they never forget where they started. They don't act like they know everything there is to know about the industry. Every single person that's in this industry has started at the same spot I'm at right now and that is all that I have to remind myself of. I can succeed just like them all I have to do is set my mind to it.
The love I have for this industry grows everyday.
This is just the beginning of me journey.
