Week 36: Me (ME!?) in a Fashionshow and Rotary Fundraisers

Week 36:

On Sunday I was modelling in a fashion show, a fundraiser for the Rotary Youth Exchange program. It was the first time for me doing something like this and I honestly was so scared! Towards a bunch of people in one room I am very shy and feel uncomfortable. This fashion show was at a restaurant, so everyone was sitting at tables, eating their lunch while I went up to them in my outfits and talked to them.I wasn't sure what to talk about but everyone was so nice and complimented me on my outfits and asked me about my exchange life!
I had to try on at least 10 outfits and the whole fashion show was 3 hours long! I modeled with about 8 other models all 30-50 years old which made me the youngest model. There were 2 little girls modelling too- there were so cute! But apart from that I was the youngest model. It was a very fun experience and somethig completely new to me!

Only two hours after the show ended, I went to a pasta dinner for Rotary. It wasn't as I expected. Everyone dressed casually, ate pasta, had fun, made jokes, walked around and taking part in auctions. The whole event was a sponsoring dinner for "Red Roof" (i think it was called) and the attending people took  part in auctions to fundraise for this organisation! They raised thousands of dollars! Its impressive how much money they could raise and I am happy to be a part of that. There were also 50/50 tickets sold and I won a 20$ Subway giftcard! Now I can eat subs at lunch between my classes ;)

I had a very busy weekend and I can't wait for the next weekend! On Friday will be my birthday and I will go to New York City! I am so excited!
