The Budding Fashionista

Hikari's Journey into the Modeling World

By: Deborne Causing Salcedo

A year ago, when Hikari was merely three, a new facet of her personality began to bloom. It wasn't the usual attraction to dolls or the appeal of the playground that drew her in. It was the runway. Even without any formal training, Hikari showed a magnetic pull towards modeling, imitating the poses and struts of other kids. It was as if she was born to be in front of the camera and under the spotlight.

The discovery of Hikari's modeling inclination happened almost accidentally. Her parents, Mommy Aiza and Daddy Yuta, had noticed their daughter's vivacity and potential early on. Her zestful singing and dancing along to nursery rhymes was a clear indication of a budding performer. As parents, they decided to nurture her talent, hoping that it would further develop her self-confidence.

However, Hikari's interests shifted from singing and dancing lessons to the exciting world of fashion. She was fascinated by the kids and teens on the runway, sparking the beginning of her modeling journey.

Even at her tender age, Hikari demonstrated an impressive ability to adapt and follow instructions, thanks to the guidance and patience of Mommy Aiza. This journey wasn't without its challenges, though. As a child, Hikari would occasionally let her childish antics come to play, providing Mommy Aiza with her fair share of parental hurdles.

Hikari's parents played a pivotal role in her blossoming career. Mommy Aiza took the lead, acting as her hands-on coach, while Daddy Yuta served as their most enthusiastic cheerleader. Their support is the backbone of Hikari's journey, propelling her career to greater heights. Mommy Aiza sometimes had to assume the role of a strict disciplinarian to instill the importance of discipline in the industry. Daddy Yuta, on the other hand, was the constant reminder of Hikari's tender age, advocating patience and balance to prevent Hikari from feeling overwhelmed.

As Hikari gained more exposure in the industry, she began to exhibit her emerging fashion sense, particularly in her choice of clothing. Even at her young age, she showed a keen understanding of professionalism. She would never complain about the various dresses she had to wear, however uncomfortable they might be, and she sat still for hair and makeup. She also exhibited patience, waiting for her turn without complaints. This professional attitude extended to her personal life too, as she would often debate with Mommy Aiza about her outfit choices, showing signs of a budding fashionista!

Indeed, parents play a significant role in shaping their children's futures. Hikari is fortunate to have parents who support her unconditionally, regardless of the path she chooses. For now, they aim to prepare and equip Hikari with the necessary skills for her journey ahead, nurturing her potential while ensuring she enjoys the innocence of her childhood. It is clear that, with her early start and the strong support of her parents, Hikari is well on her way to making a mark in the fashion industry. A star we should be expecting soon on front covers and runways.
