My first dream came true, Tokyo, and failure

[ashammi228]

In fact, I said I wanted to be a model since I was in elementary school, and worked as a model from the age of 15 to 22. I was scouted on a train platform on my way home from high school, and continued modeling for about seven years, but when I tried out for Tokyo at age 21, I got scared and came home after a year with my tail between my legs.

Looking back, I feel like I should have tried harder, but at the truemoney database time I was so scared of the entertainment world in Tokyo that I couldn't even think about such things. Also, maintaining my figure and taking care of myself was really hard, and it ended up stressing me out.

A Woman Reminiscing
The only thing that wasn't stressful was yoga, which I still do today.

That said, I think it was great to have the experience of seeing myself featured in media such as packaging, websites and magazines, and to take part in fashion and hair shows.

Above all, being able to work alongside adults from the age of 15 was a huge advantage in life.
