I was a child model. I did this for about seven years working on a weekly basis. I also did a lot of commercials back then. I was raised by a single parent, and she worked and went to school. Modeling was a huge part of how we paid the bills growing up. It always felt sort of ironic to me to working as a model, living in government housing and wearing mostly hand-me-downs. Modeling was mostly fun, and the photos and commercials are now like treasures.
