Modeling is something i have always admire and love to do, but lately i havent gotten any calls or messages, and its making me wonder if it really is for me?! or if i am meant to be a model....
I dont know what else to do at this point i feel like i should wait it out... let me know what you think!

Why are you 'waiting'?  Be proactive.  Contact Dallas and Houston modeling agencies.  Work on your book but get going.  17 doesn't last forever!

You need to go to a kick butt photographer and have some great shots done is you want work through web sites for TFCD. You want work at malls-magazines, get an agent. Go every day to agents with your Mom until you have one. Agents do not knock at your door, you have to knock at their's,

Ya know the Fashion Dallas\Kim Dawson Contest (look in the Dallas Morning News), that's being advertised all over Dallas? Enter. If you're not a finalist...then modeling's not for you...

Photographers do not like having to come to models; they usually expect a certain level of proactiveness (either from the models themselves or clients).

Proactive = motivated/interested.

If you sit back and wait, chances are nothing will ever happen for you.  You have to go out and MAKE it happen.  Whether or not you "make it" depends on how badly you want it and how hard you're willing to work for it.

Good luck.

What do you think?

You are a lovely girl, but you already know that.

How bad do you want it?

Get out there, put "Make It Happen" (Mariah Carey) in your car stereo, and start working on your career!

Today is the first day of the rest of your life!
