As hard as it was for me to leave the model house, it has really been a blessing in disguise. Out of rejection came direction. The day I headed back to Cleveland, Ohio, my phone rang with casting directors, acting opportunities, and reporters looking to do interviews with me.

The best part about coming home was seeing all of my family, my boyfriend, and my friends..all of whom I had no contact with while away. I finally got to see my Cleveland Cavaliers in action...one of the first things I did when I got home was go to a basketball game! I missed watching sports tremendously. I visited the Marriott, where I used to work...they have been extremely supportive of me, I have missed all the wonderful people that I said goodbye to.
