What was your first modeling job?<\/strong>

What would you be doing if you weren’t modeling?<\/strong>

Currently you’re obsessed with\/about:<\/strong>
\nAbout graduating class and university to enter.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s the best piece of advice you\u2019ve ever been given?<\/strong>
\nThe most useful advice I got from my volleyball coach. She said “When you are waiting for a ball think that it will be extremely hard to play. If you are ready you will deal with it. And if the ball isn’t so hard you will be twice as happy.” It’s the same in real life – always be ready for something hard. Sounds a bit pessimistic but it works.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
