I'm a 19 year old, 5 foot 8 1/2inch, 120lb, European girl that's lived in the United States for a few years. Miami to be exact. I'm going to a great university here on scholarship and doing well. I'm very smart. My parents are proud of me, but everyone that meets me says that I should be modeling. It matches my lifestyle and even personality a lot more than my current major does (international relations/politics). I'm very good at what I do in school however I always have doubts if this is really what I want to do. I'm an upbeat, fun, exciting person and aesthetics make me very happy. I mean nice places, beautiful things, they affect me more than they should I guess. I also love traveling but not just the part that everyone loves, I love everything about it. The airports, the hotels, everything. I don't really see myself doing anything when I'm older, I only chose my major because I love learning about cultures of other countries and lifestyles. I know I'm still young and have time to figure it out, but what I cannot deny is that I love to model, and am repeatedly being convinced by everyone I should be doing that! I've told my parents the idea that I had, that maybe I could model when young and finish school later but they don't see any value in this at all. They think I would be throwing it all away to do something that wont last. And I know it might not last but it's my life and I know in my heart that I could really be successful at this, it feels more than a dream, it feels reachable. I've modeled runways before and done print but my parents haven't really made it easy for me to get out there. And are we not all supposed to follow our dreams? I just don't know if its worth disappointing all the people that are so "proud" of me. I don't know what I should do...any advice??? (link)

You are a little short for runway work... but go to a reputable agency and see what they have to say, and then decide.

thanks, that doesn't really help me in terms of what to do about my home situation and school. But thanks for your input! also, I'm not interested in high fashion runway modeling because the weight requirements are ridiculous.
