Essay

I have physical attributes that would qualify me to be a real model. I am 5-feet-8-inches tall with a slender build that is toned by fifteen years of competing in the sport of figure skating. My eyes are large, my lips full, my legs long. Many have told me that I should be a model. Some have even told me that I have an exotic, European look. Beyond appearances, I have a natural affinity for expression. Figure skating has trained my body to move in myriad ways—from graceful to athletic—and my face to portray a wide range of emotions. Finally, I have a passion for fashion. I love clothing and appreciate a variety of styles and designers. I hope to someday enjoy a career in the field of fashion and would consider the experience of modeling to be a valuable building block toward a successful future.
