seen in fifteen minutes. I remember walking past some of the other girls and getting screw faces as if they wanted to ask whom I was and why was I being whisked away so fast.
                  The lights in the room were almost blinding. There were three people behind the desk and I was told to stand on an X, do a 360 turn so they could see my profile and await further instructions.
    After answering a series of questions I was told that I would receive a call back if I was chosen to move on to the next round.
                  I felt like I was going to die from the suspense. I didn’t want to be over confident but at the same time I didn’t want to start psyching myself out and automatically think the worse. Two hours later I got the call I had been waiting for.
                  I studied J.Lo nonstop for about two weeks in an effort to embody her as much as I could. I would dance around the house and act out the videos while singing and looking in the mirror trying to make sure I had all her movements and facial expressions down. It never dawned on me that my body was no were near J.Lo’s voluptuous figure. I was long and awkward with pointy elf ears, and a big alien head like E.T, as the kids from school would say. None of that mattered anymore, I was doing Tommy commercials, and now I was about to win the contest of being my idol’s look-a-like. Nothing could dim my light.
                  Christina Milian was the host for the show and the panel of judges consisted of one of J.Lo’s dancers, choreographer, stylist and makeup artist. These were people that were around her all the time and knew her very well. If I were off key or off beat they would definitely notice. My hair was dyed blonde and it was as if someone had put a motor in my back, this was the gas in my tank that I needed. I was here because I resembled Jennifer yet all I could see was myself transforming into everything that I wanted to be. In this mirror I was seeing the different routes my road would take, video vixen, model, entertainer, etc, the foundation for these things were being laid out from this very moment.
                  I looked around at the rest of the contestants and they looked phenomenal. I would have to put everything I had into this because there was some competition in the room. When it was my turn I answered all the questions correctly, I nailed all her movements and I even got her accent down.
                  We were made to wait once again as they tallied our scores and decided on a winner. When they said my name I was shocked. I couldn’t believe it. At first I didn’t move because I thought I was dreaming but then I heard the applause from the crowd, I heard the cheers and this snapped me back into reality. I had won. This was it. It was game time. I took the mic and once the lights came up I had an out of body experience. I always liked how entertainers were admired and the attention they got from their fans and as I stood on the stage and sang the lyrics to ‘Feeling so Good’ I was able to get a taste of what that was like and I loved it. I never wanted to let it go. My family was there cheering me on and they were so proud of me, seeing the awe in their expressions as they looked at me made me so happy. It was the best feeling ever.
                  When the contest aired I had everyone watching. Of course I let Trent know I would be on TV and I couldn’t wait to see his reaction. He had given me the tools I needed to trust in myself and take a chance and I owed him everything. I admit it was a very good feeling for the world to see me on TV and to be the center of attention.
                  After the contest aired I began to get calls left and right for different videos and when I got a call from someone at Rockefeller I thought it was a joke. I returned the call and the woman said that my being on the look alike contest had
