Transformation

First day on the job, attentive, 64 inches tall skinny as a rail, glasses, little makeup evident, wearing a black dress hanging from her shoulders to mid-calf. And those ‘clunky’ shoes.

Weeks later, a skilled greeter, friendly, lip gloss, same dress. And still those ‘clunky’ shoes.

Months later, confident, learned the job duties well, light makeup, same dress. Wearing new black, open-toe sandals. She has ankles.

Still later, poised, makeup applied with care, and same outfit. Black open toe sandals. She seems taller.

Finally, in-charge. Black dress with a knitted circular scarf off left shoulder, a professional, sophisticated young adult.
