Hi,
My name is Pauline and I come from Belgium. More precisely from the french part : Wallonia.
I come from this tiny village in deep wallonia, where I knew everyone. Since then I moved a lot of times.
Today I live partially in Gent (in the dutch part) and in Waterloo (Napoleon yes yes). I am twenty-one year old (almost twenty-two in a week)!
(That's me ->) 
I study a postgraduate master in digital storytelling. I always have been fascinated by the media world and the mainstream media. I grew up with the tech evolution but today it does scares me a bit. I'm scared by a lot of things...
First, spiders...(of course)
Second, death (I wish i could believe in something after death, but I believe in science. And from what I know, i think it's just empty, without conscious)
Third, I'm scared of the domination of technology on human.
But I love a lot of things too !
Like Cats - I have a dwarf cat (her name is Tatouille)
Food - (chocolate, candies and cheese)
Christmas - (in 19 days!!!)
I'm doing some photography as well. It's something I discover at university, we had this photography class and I fell in love with the possibility to capture a moment, a feeling, a memory. I wish I could live of photography but as a student I only had enough money to pay a Nikon D3300 with a fix lenses (1,4) which is amazing to do some close up and portraits.
I also discover photography because six years ago, I started modelling in an agency in Brussels. I had some great opportunities for big brands. But the agency got bigger and the concurrence as well. Today, I maybe get one job per year... Modelling is a well-paid job, I could paid my ski holiday with. But on the other hand, unconsciously you always compare yourself to the others models, who are taller, thinner, prettier. I lost a lot of self confidence because of the model world.
Today, I have a student job in a luxurious shop. I'm trying to save money to travel, or to do an extra study year ! I'll see, let's live day by day !
I'm happy to become a part of this community and i'm looking forward to discover this new place !
Have a great day!
Hey Pauline, welcome to steemit ;)
Since I am about your age, I can say quite the same. However we should concentrate on what good it can do, not hwo it could harm us ;)
But you mentioned the enormous social pressure for young models (the same is for other communities like sports, ...) made through social networks - I would love to read about your perspectives regarding that matter - Maybe it fits in the #health area!
Sad what it does to people - F.e. I suppose you are taller than the average girl (just judging from the pictures) - but you still felt small sometimes? stupid, isn't it :(
I resteemed you via @welcoming, where I share promising new users - Check it out who else joined today and the last days :)
Greets from Austria, Martin!

Hey,
Thank you !!
Thanks for the advice, i'm planning to write also more about modelling and to explain the other side of what we have in mind when we think about modelling. And actually I'm not that tall (1m72), and most of the time, the agencies take taller models for the catwalk (it's minimum 1m75 for girls).
And about the tech evolution, I agree with you! There is some really good advantages as well!
Have a great day!!!

That would be great - I sure would support it, if it goes a little bit into detail with the psychologic problems - As a future doctor, mental illnesses are a big deal, since they are all rising in numbers :(
I followed you so I won't miss it ;)
P.S: I have actually just read a post about attractiveness, you should check it ot and maybe leave your point of view: https://steemit.com/life/@trafalgar/how-much-do-looks-matter
