So where should I start?
I'm River Smith, and I'm an upcoming college fresh in about a month from now - I say upcoming here, because I haven't started yet. I was majoring in a pre-med field and I was excited; I always wanted to become a doctor and I knew that I could make it to medical school. I was worried about having the drive to make it...though I did worry about my financial situation. I wasn't swimming in debt or anything, but I wasn't well off either - I was the daughter of a single mother who had enough trouble keeping a roof over my head and wasn't exactly capable of funding my four year program at an Ivy League university. I didn't qualify for too many scholarships or bursaries, so I was left with a very important question for a while now...just how the hell am I going to afford this?
"Why don't you just model?"
That was the idea that came from my best friend Julie; she came up with the thought that maybe modeling was the way to go. A minimum wage job wasn't going to help me save up too much within a month (not to mention that they weren't exactly plentiful at my home town) but pictures can be sold over the internet...not to mention at a higher price tag than what I'd get from working at the local McDonalds.
"Okay, sit still...look back. Perfect!"
And that's how I found myself sitting on my bed, wearing nothing more than a thong and a flimsy top while Julie was behind me, taking pictures with her camera. I wasn't too sure about this, but my body did get me lots of attention from time to time. It didn't take long before we were both typing away at my computer with the following picture and message attached throughout all sorts of social sites that my best friend knew about.
Hey,
I'm a twenty year old model and I'm looking for some work. Unfortunately, I'm not too experienced but I'm sure that I've got what it takes. Enclosed with this email is a candid that I've taken to show you what I'm capable of. If you're interested in my work, let me know and I'll be more than happy to get to shooting with you and/or modeling for some pictures that you need for your business.
Toodles,
River Smith

Now to see if there were any takers...
