So I mentioned in my previous post that I was going to the AVEDA Institute to get a glimpse of what it'd be like to be a student their. By the way, if anyone who is reading this isn't quite sure what the AVEDA Institute is, it's a beauty school. Only the classiest ever. I would never even CONSIDER going to La'James, ISB, or anywhere else. AVEDA is TOP NOTCH and I will be high up by the time I'm done with school in a very nice salon or spa. Anyways, so I went there yesterday and I went in, little did I know how HUGE that place is. Holy crap. I entered and had to dins the lady that I was meeting up with, my admission counselor Christine. We sat down and discussed when I decided I wanted to look into AVEDA, what my goals were, etc....and she was a totaly sweetheart. Loved her! I told her, I have always kind of thought about off and on about going to beauty school, but I have reallllllly been thinking hard about it in the past few days and thought, what the heck, I might as well go check it out.
It's kind of funny because lately I've just been going back and forth with trying to decide what I want to do with my life. I have been examining all of the options and decided that going to a four-year school isn't right for me, at this moment and that I think something else would suite me more. For any of you who truly know me, you know I have a love for art, singing, music, writing, coloring my hair, makeup...etc....and this just seems SO ideal for me. Also, the fact that I LA LA LA Looove people and what could be better than working with clients all day long and do things that I love?
I have decided that I will go for cosmetology first, and then...after that, I will proceed into going for Esthiology(skincare). Which is an additional 5 months. I will be in school for just under 2 years. I can do a lot of things with that. Christine informed me that with cosmetology and esthiology you can do more than just work in a Salon. I can travel all over the world..yes...world (there are AVEDA's all around the world). I can teach. I can be a salon owner. Start my own salon which I could TOTALLY see myself owning a cute little shop. Maybe add a little coffee shop or spa to it. Can you see it? Gosh, I can and it excites me. I am sooooo thrilled. God is so good at answering prayers and calming my worries. I'm crossing my fingers this all will work out.
Did I mention that this will just give me more incentive to do more crazy things with my hair? Oh! another plus...I can have tattoos...etc....beauty is about expressing yourself. What better job to have?
