Career Day

A few months ago I was contacted by a few teachers that work at Greensboro Elementary School and asked if I would like to present my career to the kids.

...Wait. Have I reached that Level? I think so, but what can I possibly tell these kids. ... back up. You want me to present to kids? Kids... the people that say whatever they think. What if they don't like me? What if the laugh at me? omg. I am so not a speaker. I hate talking in front of people, but of course I said, yes.

I've spent days the last few months wondering what I can talk to these kids about..  after conversations with my friend.. a teacher.. I felt at ease. sort of.

Well.. Today was the day.. And I must admit, I did laugh alot. And they laughed at me some, but I think I learned and I grew a little bit too! They will really say whatever they are thinking. So, what did I do? I hauled my back drop stand, one of my creative backdrops, lights, camera... action.  I took in a small wedding book, My christmas card, pictures, and frames, and everything! And we had a great time.

I was even asked for my autograph. Really? I think they liked me!

I think they'll love me when I give them their photo that we took(silly of course!) next week! I am so thankful to have been asked to be a part of this, and I loved talking about what I do... It really made me love what I do that much more!

So, Thank you to the girls that kept after me to do this, I really loved it! I hope to do it again next year, and to be able to have new and exciting things to show all of the kids!
