    Biography: I am a 31 year old mother of four amazing children. I started photography as a profession in 2006 after a long battle with depression. It was always an interest of mine but didnt think i could do it. When i got so sick by being taken over by depression I prayed and promised that if i could be saved from the path of destruction that i would give all the honor and glory to God. Well he helped me...however i still struggle with a hard life. I went to Texas School in Dallas Texas where i had the honor of being taught by Gene Higa, Catherine Hall and Lori Nordstrom. I went to a 5 day event with only 77.00 Dollars in my pocket and still had no idea how i was going to pay for my tuition. A local business owner from my home town paid for my flight and i was on my way! It was a survivor kinda experience. I didnt eat breakfast or lunch some of the times and the school provided dinner for us so i held my hunger til then. In the end i got my school paid for by a dare to get on a roller coaster...i had sworn id never get on one but in the end i had to do what i had to to get it paid for!! I really want to be a part of this show. Somewhere in my soul there is something poking at me everyday telling me i belong higher and more accomplished. I wanted to talk to someone about starting a show like this but it turns out You guys beat me to it...HAHAHA j/k. My life has been really bad and i have been through a lot. My step father molested me and when i told he commited suicide! Leaving my mother alone again...my father had also committed suicide when she was pregnant with me so i never met him. I had a hard life in school because of it. All my classmates got a hold of it and one girl stood on the table in the cafeteria and told my entire class that i was a *#**$% and enjoyed it...i was only 12 years old. It started when i was 9 but didnt tell my mom because i felt that we finally had a father and if i told he would leave! Ive always felt insecure and like i could be read like a book just by looking at me. I have a very very unstable marriage. I feel like i cant find anyone else so i stay...exposing my children to more than they should ever see! I want to get out of here...i want to provide a nice life for my kids and i know this show can help me get them out of here. Please consider me for a shot at this...I need this more than most people need air. I need to pursue this burning fire in my heart and soul until i can no longer fight! i know i have what it takes. Im a people person and love what i do. knowing that my work is going to be on a wall or in a wallet for years and years to come means more to me than the dollar sign behind it all. I have been near death 4 times and the last experience made me push my dreams even harder. I was given 18hrs to live in August 08, liver failure, i was in a coma for 6 days and nearly lost my life. When i woke up and learned what had happened i made a promise to my kids...that id get us out! I dont think that God has saved me all those times just to keep living an average life...i think he wants me to be more...I know! My oldest daughter is 11, Ayla Yvonne, Adrian Andres 10, Avry Ylane 4, Adey Ysel 2! Please give me a chance...even if it doesnt go to the end...just give me a chance to show my industry what im capable of. However i feel i'll go to the end...i know i will. My heart knows it. ~marion ybeth~
