When I was 8 years old I had asked my dad what some of his favorite movies were. Instead of telling me he handed me a box of movies he had purchased over the years and said I should look through it.

negatives are not too bad and the positives definitely outway them, becoming a makeup and hair artist would be great. Overall, I think that my interest, goal setting, and good and bad contrast of the job still point me in doing hair and makeup. Being a slacker and not being very motivated to do things makes other jobs seem tedious and tiring, however when I just think about doing beauty for people it gets me excited.
