What a night!
If you would have asked me when I started high school, where I would be when I finished my schooling career, I probably would have said I don't know, or something completely different to what I'm doing now. But you know what? I freaking love what I'm doing with my career now. In 19 years of being alive, it's crazy to think about how I've already done so much in such a short period of time.
And last night solidified all of that hard work. I graduated from Orana Fashion Business College and received an award of excellence for outstanding excellence as an innovative entrepreneur.
Innovative Entrepreneur.
As our head trainer Krystal spoke of my efforts, speaking of me having over 3 years experience running social media accounts for other brands, myself and creating content for some of the top names in beauty and fashion, YSL Beauty, Jets Swim, Lancôme, Loreal, Cotton On and so many more, and how I've just started my own social media business, I sat in the audience with a grin on my face.
I'm 19 years old. So many people in that audience, and even people Ive met through my business or at Fashion Week or any of the internships Ive worked at, are a lot older than me yet, in a way, I've done so much more, achieved so many incredible things and worked with so many incredible people. I like to think I'm humble about my successes, because at such a young age, I think it's important to be humble in my successes, but in doing that, I sometimes forget just how much I've done.
To walk up to receive my award and see my logos for Molly and Gizmo and Socially Squared, and my Instagram feed projected onto the screen made me so proud of myself. To be chosen as an Innovative Entrepreneur inspires me to do so much more with my career, and take my blog and my social media business to places I've only dreamt of. To have that certificate pinned on my wall above my desk is a constant reminder of my successes and to continue to grow and improve every single day. To continue to prove that I can be an innovative entrepreneur.
I'm so grateful to all my peers at college, who have helped me to create some of the best content and inspire me with their own work. I'm grateful for my teachers at college who have constantly supported me and guided me to place I am in my life today. And my parents, for being just so freaking awesome.
I can't wait to create some incredible content for my amazing followers very soon, and hope to continue to make everyone of my friends, peers, family, and teachers, who have ever helped me or supported me, proud.
Thankyou, and much love,
