Nails are the canvas on which Melissa Haseley pours forth her inspiration. The CND scholarship is providing the funds to help Melissa her pursue a dream long-deferred. “It feels like a waste to not do something with this “spark” I have for the professional nail industry. Melissa’ inspiration board showcased the myriad forms of artwork that inform her as a Nail Professional in training, noting that hope and determination come together at the interchange of “possibility.”
HOPE + DETERMINATION = POSSIBILITY
I haven’t had a lot the past few years, but I have love and hope. When so many and so much was lost, a hope for the future was gained. I thought about doing nails as a career years ago, but could not afford schooling.
I often have times of inspiration, but have no outlet for it. I want to create beautiful things that make people’s faces light up. I would be happy with a warm smile too. It feels like a waste not doing something with this spark and not building skills with the professional training.
I hope I am worthy of the CND Tippi Hedren Nail Scholarship. It would mean so much to me. I hope the best for all students aspiring to be the best of themselves and create beauty on the outside as well as within. Thank you for the opportunity.
