The key to not allowing the rejection to sideline you is to understand that it is not personal. They are not rejecting Sabrina, the person. They are rejecting the blonde 6-foot-tall girl who isn't quite what they're looking for this day, at this casting, for this client, in this market.

Atlanta is the kind of market you will not need to quit school to work in. You can balance it here.

The (modeling) agencies were constantly hounding on me to home school Sabrina. For me, that wasn't an option. There are no guarantees anyone will make it in the modeling industry - it's a field many enter but few find real success in.

Modeling takes extreme dedication. You have to really want this to make it work.

We also scouted around various neighborhoods in the area, looked under numerous bridges and culverts, and walked fields that held soybeans last year. No green kudzu or volunteer soybeans were found. The positive clumps/patches of rust were on old kudzu tissue. I did not see any kudzu breaking dormancy in this part of Alabama.

We only found it on the leaves.
