The idea of ​​friends seemed Susan crazy

Interview Finkbayner began by telling about the idea of ​​her friends, who seemed crazy to her. Here are some words about this beginning model said:

"I always wanted to be a scientist and, as you know, my work clothes very often include not only a comfortable form, but also shoes. Once I came to the lab in heels and many people immediately noticed it. So the whole day I went to this shoe, did experiments and did other work. Then for the first time in my life, from colleagues, I heard that I have a very beautiful figure and long legs. Since then, there has not been a day that my environment does not remind me of this case. As a result, friends forced me to go to a model agency that is in Massachusetts. I brought my photos there, but I could not imagine how this visit would end. Employees of the agency looked at me carefully, then on my pictures and offered to sign a contract with them. I was taken aback by surprise ... I knew that miracles happen, but I never realized that this could happen to me. Arriving home, I still digested all this information for a few more days, when suddenly they called me. It turned out to be the director of the agency, and he invited me to work at the Fashion Week in the capital of Great Britain. The first few seconds I was silent, and then just said "Yes."

After that the girl decided to tell a little about her emotions, which she experienced at the time when she went to the podium:

"I always thought that being a model is very simple. They put on a beautiful dress, laid their hair and made a stylish make-up, and you just have to walk. In fact, everything is quite different. You are overwhelmed with emotions and wild fear that something can go wrong. I remember how I came out on trembling legs and felt that I could not see anything, because the light shone in my face. I took a few steps, I realized that I was looking at a huge number of guests who came to the show. After it was over, I realized that I had never experienced such adrenaline. I think that I will continue my modeling business. I just like it very much. "

You can be both smart and beautiful

At the end of her conversation with the interviewer, Susan decided to make a summary of everything that happened in her life over the past few months:

"At the moment I understand that in science I realized. Now I do butterflies and I really like it. I have a Bachelor of Arts degree from Cornell University in entomology, and a PhD from the University of California in the field of evolutionary biology and ecology. From early childhood I was sure that among the scientists I will be fine, and when it's time to choose, I without hesitation settled on the tropics that are in Central and South America.

But to go to the podium - for me this is something unexpected and unpredictable. In this area, I just started working and have already made some progress. Of course, to the famous models I'm still very far away, but I will do my best to be respected in the modeling business. After this incident in my life I am sure that you can be both smart and beautiful, the most important thing is not to be afraid of new beginnings. "
