My new hero and role model that I have discovered is a young latino woman who looks like she not only has a girly side but a pair of balls that come with it.
The reason she stood out to me is because we both seem to share similar desires, passions and dreams. The only huge difference is the fact that she is living it, and I am still dreaming it.
Her name? Scarett Martinez (No relation to me.)
Why do I look up to her?
Well to anwser that, I first have to let you know a little about me. Ever since I took Fashion Studies in grade 11, I discovered that I really wanted to become a fashion designer. But somewhere deep inside me I have always secretly wanted a job that was physically challenging and one that gave me that "adreinline-rush" kind of atmosphere. In other words, I have always wanted to become a soldier for the military. Deep inside me I feel like I have a personality that wouldn't exactly be considered femanine. In short, I'm very much like a tom-boy, who enjoys to hangout with the "guys," as well as play "dress-up" with the girls.
Scarelett Martinez and I seem to value similar things in life. According to the website of: http://voxxi.com/a-fashion-designer-in-the-u-s-army-identity/ Scarlett Martinez was born in Houston, Texas, and her parents are Colombian. She enlisted in the U.S. army in 2004 during the Iraq War. One of her passions is fashion design.
When I first come across a youtube video that starred Scarelett, I was shocked at how she overcem the tough obstactles that life hit her with. Her story is truely inspiring. She inspires me greatly.
I encourage anyone who is reading this post to watch the inspirational video in the link above to get a better feel for what I'm talking about.
