She is an educator and has made true connections with some of her former students. One such student who seemed to always be in trouble, she really connected with him. She saw something special in him and always tried to get him on his path. A path that would give him passion and joy.\u00a0 That student actually became an amazing photographer, and my mom was talking to him one day and showed him a picture of me and he said that he could see the amazing potential of me being a model.\u00a0 I&#8217;ve always wanted to be a model so when I heard this, I wanted to try it to see if I had what it takes to be one.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2014 What\u2019s a story your family\/friends like to tell about you?<\/strong><br \/>\nWhen I had to jump in the water to catch a 6-foot lemon shark.\u00a0 We took a trip down to the Florida Keys and one night we went shark fishing on a dock. We ended up catching one but we had no way of getting it up on the dock to release it.\u00a0 One of us had to jump in the water and grab the shark by his back tail and hand it\u00a0up to the people on the dock. I am always up for an adventure so I jumped into the water and got ahold of the shark and handed him up to my friends on the dock. It was quite scary but it was really cool to be right there with a shark.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span class=\"modelname\">Jonathan<\/span><br \/>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 100%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-2' class='gallery galleryid-67351 gallery-columns-1 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2022\/02\/mdcselects_jonathanazar01.jpg' title=\"\" data-rl_title=\"\" class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"courtesy Jonathan Azar\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-2\" data-magnific_type=\"gallery\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2022\/02\/mdcselects_jonathanazar01-300x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-2-67360\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-2-67360'>\n\t\t\t\tcourtesy Jonathan Azar\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2022\/02\/mdcselects_jonathanazar02.jpg' title=\"\" data-rl_title=\"\" class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"courtesy Jonathan Azar\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-2\" data-magnific_type=\"gallery\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2022\/02\/mdcselects_jonathanazar02-300x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-2-67359\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-2-67359'>\n\t\t\t\tcourtesy Jonathan Azar\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2022\/02\/mdcselects_jonathanazar03.jpg' title=\"\" data-rl_title=\"\" class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"courtesy Jonathan Azar\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-2\" data-magnific_type=\"gallery\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2022\/02\/mdcselects_jonathanazar03-300x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-2-67358\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-2-67358'>\n\t\t\t\tcourtesy Jonathan Azar\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Who:<\/strong><br \/>\nJonathan Azar (<a href=\"https:\/\/instagram.com\/jjonathanazar\">@jjonathanazar<\/a>) \u2014 186 cm \/ 6&#8217;1&#8243; \u2014 Canadian from Toronto, Canada \u2014 born June 19th \u2014 he\/him.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where:<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"\/\/models.com\/agency\/Elite-Model-Management-Toronto\">Elite Toronto (mother agency)<\/a>, <a href=\"\/\/models.com\/agency\/VNY-Model-Management\">VNY Models (New York)<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2014 The most interesting thing about your family:<\/strong><br \/>\nBeing half Palestinian and half Italian, I would classify my simple family gatherings as a huge event.

The ultrasound showed that I would be a boy and\u2026 LOL, surprise! I came out a very energetic little girl, who played everything, jumped and ran a lot with her bare feet on the ground in the backyard, adventurous and who loves sports.

I&#8217;m highly sensitive to colors which can be quite frustrating and makes matching outfits so much harder, but turns out to be useful in my photography work.<br \/>\n2. I&#8217;m a picky eater, that&#8217;s obsessed with the texture of food. Lately, it has been chewy candy and onigiri.<br \/>\n3.

We found a home in Berlin for refugees and had a guardian who took care of us at the beginning. And I am so blessed, that I was able to find my own apartment recently and can call Berlin my home.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2014 Your most embarrassing moment:<\/strong><br \/>\nTo be honest, I don\u2019t really feel embarrassed pretty often. Most of the time I just kind of laugh it off, when something happens people may find it embarrassing. I am sometimes a little silly and goofy. But yeah, I can actually laugh about myself which makes it pretty easy to be outgoing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2014 How did you become a model?<\/strong><br \/>\nA photographer texted me last year on Instagram, asking if he can take some photos of me. I thought of trying it out. I was a little bit scared at the beginning, to be honest. And a little later my agency IZAIO discovered me on social media. So since last year I am with them and modeling full time besides school.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Donovan Who: Donovan Garcia (@donie.garcia) \u2014 186 cm \/ 6&#8217;1&#8243; \u2014 American from Castle Rock, Colorado, USA \u2014 born November 22nd \u2014 he\/him.
