It all started With this Little Girl name Elektra. She always watch fashion reality shows, fashion movies, and she has a subscription to all the fashion magazines. She will watch all those things for days because she always dreamed to be a stylist. She also wanted to be doing publish her own fashion magazines. Her biggest dream was to just be a part of anything that was involved the fashion industry. She loved it all.

Years later when she was all grown up it was the day of her High School graduation. She was so nervous, excited, so happy she couldn't believe she had made it and made her mom and family proud. The next day it was the day that she was leaving her family to go to New York City to live her dream and be in the fashion industry like she always wanted. Her family was so sad and scared that she was going to be by her self in that big city. Her mom was so sad that her only little girl was all grown up and leaving “the nest”. Everybody shed a few tears and it was so hard for them to say good by but they where also excited for her.

Elektra makes it to New York city she couldn’t believe it. Years past she finished FIDM University which that was her dream college form the beginning. She was living in this big condo with her four friends, Elsa, Sophia, Brenda, and Gloria. They were all in to fashion just like Elektra. Elektra will always write on her website that she created. She would post pictures, fashion tips for girls and men for all her readers all around the world. Even though she had all those great things going for her she was so stressed out because it was so hard to get a job in the big city. But one day when she was out job hunting something had catch her eye. Behind the window of this expensive boutique was these really gorgeous red heels she fell in love with. But she can not afford them. Everyday she will pass by that boutique to get home when ever she was out because it was just around the corner from her condo. Because she would always see them she became obsessed with them.

Weeks pass by and was even more stressed than before, she was giving up in the world. She was so sad, depressed and had grown to believe that she might never get in to the fashion industry like she had always dreamed of. She was giving up on her self and her dream. One morning her friend Gloria that has been a photographer for a local magazine for some months now, had some good news for Elektra. Gloria had got her an interview for this big new fashion magazine tomorrow in the morning. She couldn’t believe it she was super happy and excited she thank her friend so many times started crying of joy. Her friends got her an outfit for the big interview but she knew that there was something she was missing and that she need to have. The red heels. She went to the boutique and she saw them right there on that same spot. She was just day dreaming about wearing those heels with her new outfit. In her mind she had to get them but when she saw the price she got scared. It was too much but she knew she had to get them. She convinced her self to not be scared to make risks so she bought them. Then she ran ran home to got try them on with her new outfit. She put them on and they looked amazing on her. They were a perfect match with her whole out fit.

Finally it was the big day. Her friends cooked breakfast for her because they wanted to encourage Elktra for her big day, and to remind her that they are always their for her and understood everything that she was going through. They wished Elektra as she was walking out the door. Elektra was so nervous and scared but so happy and excited. She took the subway and taxi their, but as she was getting closer and closer to her job interview she was just getting more and more nervous. She had finally got there. She was just standing right in front of the building saying to her self that she got this that she is strong and she is going to take this all the way to the top. When the owner of the magazine interviewed Elktra she was just string at her shoes and her resume. That was a little odd for Elektra that it made her even more nervous. The owner loved Elektra and hired her right away and told her Electra that she had good taste in shoes. As she was walking out she saw a picture of her shoes on the wall of the reception office with the owners name “Rosalie”. Elektra checked the bottom of her heel and it said “Rosalie”. She was so surprised. Her new boss was the one who designed these shoes. She hurried home to tell her friends the good news. On her way home in the subway she was on the phone with her mom telling her the good news about her job and the surprise she received when she noticed that her new favorite heels were designed by her new boss. Her mom told her “With will, perseverance and some nice heels there is always a way” and we just both started laughed with happiness.
