A) I wanted to go back and they also called me back. It was a mix of the two.
Q) What gave you the motivation to reaudition?
A) It was hearing Tyra tell me, “Yes, we believe in you. Come back!” It was my family, as well, motivating me. They said, “You got this! You can do this! Just go and show them that this is what you want.” So, my family was a great support!
Q) Do you feel you were more driven because of the experience you had the season before?
A) I was always driven. I knew this is what I wanted. This is where I am happy and this is what fulfills me. I feel so happy when I am modeling. I was always driven and always had the passion for modeling.
Q) You mentioned in the final episode that you had therapy before trying out again. What did you need to work on?
