"No Guts, No Glory," Says My Rootcrop Feet

After intimidating myself with the curious opportunities waiting for me in the worldwide web, this is what i ask myself: how on earth did i land in this field again? I found two answers so far: One, by God's wisdom and grace; Two, by walking a lot. With the first i need elaborate no more, with the second let me.

Yep, the second is because i do not only walk fast, but dang, i do walk a lot. And for some reason, i never tire myself out, being an observer and all. Whenever i land on my working arena (which could mean anywhere in the world where i could sashay yet think and overthink), my feet could just not stop moving!!! Try me: hand me all your shopping bags, fill them with encyclopedias, believe me, with them i can stroll down the Fifth Avenue (while meticulously observing) then go straight to the flea market, and there goes my job. Add to that my early trips to the museums. Oh, there goes a very fruitful day, my rootcrop feet cooperating.

Going back to my searching, i've been, again, seeking for the best fashion school to go to. Now, i finally have my school. Giving myself a pat on the back, i'm now narrowing down to choosing the best short courses to take. My next step would be picking the best schedule. But after staring too much at the webpage where i am in, i begin to doubt. Can i make it? Do i have what it takes to be in "it"? Then, there, i go back to the glory of my rootcrop feet. Ugly, garden-hose veins popping out my feet. Oh yes, they are bringing home the bacon. They have brought my life so much learning. And because these feet of mine never gave up on me, neither am i giving up on them. I will not stop dreaming, i will never fail my God and my rootcrop feet. Nevuhh. So i am on my way to that next step for school. Almost there.
