My dad was fine about me doing modelling at 16 because I always said school was important to me. I always chose my jobs carefully so I wouldnt have to take too much time off. It got harder toward the end with my A-levels, there were sleepless nights, and I was doing my homework on the plane coming home, but I pulled through.
