OVAL
It’s round but slightly different
— more like an oval (2)
With a strong desire to expand my understanding of beauty, I embarked on a journey that led me to enroll in a beauty school in Canada.
When I moved abroad and began a new chapter in life, I knew I wouldn’t get everything right from the beginning — and that was okay.
At times, I found it challenging to fully express myself in English, and I often missed the ease and confidence that came with speaking in my native language.
There were quiet moments when I carried that frustration home with me, holding back tears I didn’t quite know how to explain.
But there were also brighter days — moments when people would call me “magic hands,” saying I seemed born to do aesthetics and hair.
One day, a classmate who had been glancing at me throughout class suddenly confessed their feelings, and just like that, I became the center of attention at school.
Every one of those moments was meaningful in its own way.
But what impacted me most were the times — whether through volunteer work or school — when I had the chance to use beauty as a way to help others feel seen.
Through each haircut, each moment of care, I witnessed how beauty could remind someone that they are valuable — that they were created to be loved.
That realization left a deep impression on me.
It gave me clarity about the kind of work I wanted to dedicate my life to.
And step by step, the desire to walk that path became even more certain.
After completing my training, I began applying to well-known salons and skincare clinics, going through interviews and sending out resumes.
It was my first time doing interviews in English — and to this day, I can’t really remember what I said.
But I do remember how sincere I was. I truly wanted to be there.
What I didn’t know then was that God was already preparing something else —
a different path, quietly unfolding behind the scenes.
