My models learned a lot in 2020:

“It has taught me to appreciate the time I have with my family and friends because there’s no guarantee of the time we have together. It has taught me to be more appreciative and to take care of myself at the same time!” ~Micaiah McZeal

“2020 has taught me to not take anything for granted, because even the simplest things can be taken away from you.” ~Emily Schneider

“What I learned from 2020, was that you can’t take life for granted. So many things have been brought to light to me during this pandemic and I never really saw just how much we are blessed with. Something I am looking forward to in 2021, is a new beginning; a fresh start. I’m looking forward to growing and hopefully being able to enjoy like how it was before the pandemic. I’m excited for college and more family time and just overall starting out on a new adventure and a new chapter of life.” ~Audrey Domingue

“I have learned that 2020 was a year to have patience and it was a time for family and to hold close to them because you I never know what could happen next in this crazy time.” ~Kelsie Broussard

“One thing I learned in 2020 is to never take anything for granted and how to make the best out of a bad situation.” ~Annalise Goutierrez

“In 2020 I learned more about how to stay motivated and positive through hard times.” ~Anna Cain

“I think the most valuable thing i have taken away from 2020 is to be appreciative of the small things in life. because of the craziness of this year, it was so tempting to slip into the habit of focusing on the negative, however i learned that maintaining a positive outlook and celebrating even the smallest of victories was essential. it definitely helped me to get through this year.” ~Ava Mury

They are looking forward to 2021:

“I am most looking forward to growing more as an individual and seeing what God has in store for me and my life ❤️” ~Claire Roy

“I am looking forward to starting the college chapter of my life! I am moving out of my home town for the first time in my life to the big city of Baton Rouge and I cannot wait to see what’s in store for me!” ~Jadyn Devillier

*SPARKLE* “I encourage you to remember that you are, indeed, as the stars. You glow with the same intensity. The answers that you seek outside of yourself may very well be found within the cosmic intelligence inside you. Go ahead; show the world what you are made of! Sparkle, shine, light the way, and brightly blaze as you are meant to do.” ~Mishi McCoy
