Freshman Carlie Hertel, unlike many of her other classmates, who opt for more mainstream careers, hopes to become a model.
Hertel first realized a career as a fashion model might be possible when her sister’s friend, Anna Bryant, told her she “had such potential as a model. [Bryant] is also a model.”
This was affirmed when Bryant “showed some of my pictures to a company and they said they would love to have me.”
Luckily, Hertel’s parents and family were also very supporting of her dream to become a model.
As for her future, Hertel doesn’t have any definite plans one way or another.
She said, “Modeling isn’t my first plan; it’s a second plan. If it comes along, it would be great. I know I really want to finish high school first and go to college before I decide anything.”
