BeforeI went to tolles to study cosmetology because that has always been my passion. My sister, 2 cousins and I all share the same passion. After all of us get through cosmetology our plan is to open our own salon. Before going I thought I would learn everything I would need to know to become a cosmetologist. I hope to learn everything about haircuts, manicure, pedicures, waxing, hair coloring and hair styling and I did. From going to tolles I hoped to meet new people since I would be going to a completely different school.At tolles, I would be getting a head start at doing the thing I love most. Once I graduate from high school I'll be able to start working in a salon as a cosmetologist while someone who didn't go to tolles would have to go to a salon school first.

AfterAt tolles, I learned everything about cosmetology. Everything from haircuts, hair color, manicures, pedicures, facials, hair styles, waxing, to the muscles and bones of the body, infection control, disorders and diseases of the hair and skin and the history of cosmetology. I feel like this experience helped me grow as a person. I realized what I liked and didn't. I also realized that cosmetology is something I like and I'm good at. I also realized as long as it makes me happy, it doesn't matter if what I do makes others happy or not. What I really enjoyed about this experience was, after I did a service on a client, their reaction. It made feel really good that by helping someone by giving them something as simple as a manicure could make them feel better. I am really glad I went to tolles because I feel like I grew a lot during my two years here. I met a lot of people that inspired me and motivated me which helped me become more confident in the things I did. If I had to start over the only thing I would do differently would be, being more confident in myself at the beginning. I feel like that would've helped me grow even more. All in all, I'm so grateful to have gotten this opportunity and cosmetology is something I look forward to doing for a long time.
