About me!

    My name is Woafa Bibi Saidi, and I am 19 years old. I was born in Queens, New York City. I was a premature baby, and I guess I really wanted to see the world as fast as I could. I have a huge family who I adore so much. I have two brothers who drive me crazy and three beautiful sisters. I'm currently enrolled in Schenectady County Community College full time as a major in Business.

    Sadly I’m the middle child, but I’m the creative one. Literally, all of my family members are building a career into the medical field and I can say they have a boring personality. Ever since I was a little girl, I always had a passion for art, mainly in makeup.  I always hated writing, It is one thing I struggle with. I am more of a hands-on person and if you tell me I have to clean, cook and glam up a bride within 2 hours, I so would. I want to pursue my career in marketing/advertising in cosmetics. In a couple years, you'll see my name on a makeup brand.

        Many people have doubted me throughout the year, but the hate has built me stronger. My parents forced me to find my career in nursing and I didn’t want to hurt their feelings. So when I was 16 years old I went to a nursing program that my high school provided. I got my Certified Nurse Assistant license and worked at a nursing home for 2 years. It was definitely a great experience, but I just knew it wasn’t for me.

      Every day I would wake up knowing I had to work and it was very hard for me because I thought I failed my goals and my dream has been shattered. I never told my parents how miserable I was. Without telling my parents, I applied to Macy’s to work at a cosmetic counter. Once I got hired, I told my parents, but they weren’t too happy.

        A couple months after working at Macy's, I got promoted as a manager of Bobbi Brown counter. All the hate and hard work paid off for once. My parents were so excited that they never doubted me ever since. I am truly proud of myself because I am only 19 and a manager of my favorite counter. I guess dreams do come true, but my dreams are getting bigger day by day.
