The Start!

Many people have a start to their journeys and mine was not to long ago. I started working at a Boy Scout Day Camp when I was 14 years old and it was the things that made me who I am today. The people I worked with showed me it was okay to be who I am and not to hind from that. Fast forward to the summer when I was 16. I was one of the guys. They wanted to hang out with me and they all treated me like a little sister. That wasn't the bad part though that summer I was wearing one of my friends who was a guys name tag and my hair was pulled back into a pony tail and we all had to wear the scout clothes that made us all look like guys. Well a little boy came up to me and asked if I was a girl or a boy and from there it became a joke that I was a guy. I had it at the end of the summer and i wanted to do something that made me look like a girl and make my natural beauty come out so, I started playing with make up and hair. I would spend hours on YouTube watching video after video of girls doing make up and hair till I knew how to do it. That next summer I would do my hair. I would on a Shooting Sports range and I could get away with curling or doing whatever I wanted to my hair and I would do very little make up and it made a difference. Not only was I a girl who worked in a pretty much boys only club but when I put the extra time into the girls who would come on family days would want to be like me. I wasn't afraid of getting dirty but I did it in away that I still could keep the girlyness to it and show that even though I was working in a camp I could still look like a girl with out over doing it or getting mistaken for a boy in the clothes. It seems like a strange story but it what helped me find one of my many loves in life and hopefully I can start making videos and putting them up as well as my blog.
