To Walk in My Shoes

Page 97

Keep Going by Kaylynn Martinez

i’ve set goals for myself for my future. At the moment, I’m fourteen years old, and I’ve already settled on what I want to do for the rest of my life. I’ve made myself an entrepreneur. I’m a makeup artist, and my work progresses with every look that I do. My work consists of a lot of my pride, mainly because I love what I do and because if I want to get somewhere in life, I can’t just expect things to be handed to me to be successful. I’m also humbled when it comes to my content, meaning if I get two likes and five views, it still means someone saw my work and liked it. In my future, I plan to be financially stable. By the age of 21, I’ll have my own two bedroom, cute apartment with pink couches and light gray walls with my own little dog <3. One room will be my bedroom and the second room will be my makeup room <3. I’ll have my own makeup studio with all black walls and hot pink LE D lights to make it pop, just like my logo. A big Statue of Liberty in hot pink for decoration. A big sign that says BX in pink LE D lights, exotic furniture, tinted windows that I will have the honor of my friend @SOU LSNYC painting for me, and a mural that really represents the Bronx and my work. You’ll just have to see for the future, so stay tuned! Then, when I have everything I planned, I’ll open my mom’s very own bakery, and I’ll name it Tori’s Sweet Tooth. My mom has been a baker for about fourteen years now, and we currently work events like dynamic duos. She makes a cake for an event, and I do makeup. My mom currently works from home, and she’s never had her own shop or even worked in a bakery, so I’d be so happy if I could just surprise her with her own bakery. My mom currently also is a dental assistant, so naming it Tori’s Sweet Tooth really has a meaning to it. The “sweet” is for the treats and cakes and the “tooth” part is for her dental job which she’s really happy with <3.
