淪ince childhood I檝e wanted to be a model. An artist actually, but it seemed impossible. When I was a child, I was a tomboy even I still had a little feminine side. I thought that I would never be a model as no one in my family in modeling, and my mom is a devoted muslim, said the alumnus SMA Trimurti, Surabaya.
Unsupported by Mom At First
Before she has a great career, she had reluctance as her family was never into modeling. Furthermore, her mother is a devoted muslim, which made her even more reluctant to start into modeling.
淎s time goes by, I got job offers from modeling agency and asked me to join them, said the girl with 178 cm height.
Because of her achievements, her parents responded positively as she also showed her determination in modeling. Nevertheless, Ayu never neglects her obligation as a student. She is still in the third semester but she can manage her time well between her career and study.
A dream will never come true without sacrifices and struggles. It seems appropriate to illustrate Ayu檚 career. (*)
