Summarize the following:
An agency will manage and promote your modeling career, marketing you to clients, fashion shows, and online, and helping to arrange jobs based on your availability and assets. Most agencies take a standard 20% commission from your earnings. Being a part of an agency does not mean that you're guaranteed work, though you should feel that they're marketing you appropriately. Some non-exclusive agencies will allow you to sign with other agencies, so that you have even more opportunities for modeling jobs. Some agencies will offer open casting calls for new talent, so add those dates to your calendar and be prepared for a go-see or a cattle-call. Be sure that the open casting is for a legitimate agency and is not a scam or a dangerous situation. If you have any concerns, take a friend with you to the call or photo shoot. Know the signs of a modeling scam, such as unsolicited contact from a photographer or agency, or the requirement for a down payment or fees in advance of your acceptance to the agency. Most contracts are biased towards the agency, but always contact a lawyer before signing any documents. The terms of an agency contract are always negotiable, so review the document with a lawyer and propose any changes to the agency before deciding whether or not to sign. Modeling for an agency, especially at the beginning, can be expensive, as you will need start-up costs for marketing, such as for your composite cards and messenger services between the agency and the client. Agencies often bill these expenses were billed to your future earnings, so that it may take some time to see any pay at all. Foreign models may need to pay the agency for travel expenses, and so may be deep in debt before they've begun working. Make sure they're promoting you on a regular basis, and ask if you need to do anything else to be more marketable. If your agency is not doing a good job of finding work for you or you do not like the way that they are marketing you, then you may want to consider looking for a new agent or going freelance.

summary: Apply to reputable agencies. Go to open castings for agencies and clients. Take your contract to a lawyer before you sign it. Manage your finances carefully. Keep in touch with your agency representative.

Whether you are using peritoneal dialysis or hemodialysis, all people with end stage kidney failure should be up to date with their vaccinations to help reduce the potential for infection and illness. End stage renal disease affects your immune system. The mortality rate is as high as 20% per year for people undergoing dialysis and the major causes are cardiovascular disease and infection. The dysfunction of the immune system is induced by uremia, or higher levels of urea in the blood system. Talk with your doctor about vaccinations for the flu, hepatitis A and B and the pneumococcal vaccination for pneumonia to help prevent these illnesses. Dialysis works best when you are well rested because sleep assists your body in removing waste products. Make sure that you sleep for eight hours each night to support the removal of waste products from your body and brain. If you have any trouble sleeping after starting dialysis, let your doctor know as soon as possible. . Tobacco increases your white blood cell count, keeping the body under stress fighting the inflammation and damage caused by the chemicals. Nicotine also causes a constriction of the blood vessels, decreasing the level of nutrients and oxygen available to the cells. Tar and other chemicals will also make the immune system less effective in fighting off infections. That means that you will be more likely to get sick and more vulnerable to autoimmune disorders. If you are a smoker, talk to your doctor about getting help to quit. There are many free smoking cessation programs and other treatments that your doctor can tell you about. It is important to wash your hands well before and after cooking, after using the bathroom, after being in public or after touching your nose or blowing your nose. Wash your hands after being with other people or with anyone who is sick or appears to be ill. Doing so will help to protect you from getting sick or developing an infection. Your blood pressure may have adverse effects on your immune system, which can cause more serious complications. By controlling your blood pressure and supporting your immune system you can reduce your chances of infection.

Although your kidneys have failed, high blood pressure may impact your sight and trigger heart disease. You may need to make some changes to your diet depending on your condition. Reduce your carbohydrate and salt intake to reduce the waste products necessary to be removed by dialysis. Speak with your physician about the specific diet he wants you to follow, based on your individual medical requirements. The National Kidney Foundation recommends eating a high protein diet that is low in salt, potassium and phosphorus. Foods naturally high in protein includes beans and meat. Avoid processed foods as these are often high in sodium. Limit your salt intake. Try using herbs and spices to enhance the flavor of your food. Avoid foods that are high in potassium and phosphorus, such as dark leafy greens, bananas, avocados, squash, potatoes, yogurt, and fish. Your doctor may decide to put you on a fluid restricting diet and may even ask you to keep track of the amount of fluids that you consume. Make sure that you discuss your individual needs with your physician. The catheter site will take about two weeks to heal before it may be used for dialysis. After the site has healed, you will receive training on how to prepare your peritoneal dialysis bags and machinery, how to connect and disconnect, how to dispose of the fluid, and when to seek medical attention. Beginning dialysis requires major life adjustments that may be difficult to cope with on your own. Consider joining a support group to help you cope with the changes in your life from kidney failure. You may also benefit from seeking counseling with a therapist, psychologist or pastor.

Skater guys tend to spend most of their free time at the skatepark of their choice with their friends. Give yourself the opportunity to "bump into him" by hovering around his favorite hang out spot. First impressions matter; it can take only three seconds for your crush to make up his mind about you the first time he meets you. There are two main ways you can introduce yourself, depending on how quickly you want to make your intentions known: You can be extremely casual if you don't want him to know you like him just yet: "Hey, what's going on, mind if I hang out with you?" You can be completely blunt and honest. This lets you know right away if he's interested in you, and you can put a comedic twist on it as well: "Hey, I like you. Want to hang out?" People love to talk about themselves and their passions. Asking questions shows that you have more than just a passing interest in what he has to say. Some questions you might want to ask him include: "How long have you been skateboarding?" This shows your interest in what he does and learning more about him. "How often do you hang out here?" Not only will this tell you how passionate he is about skateboarding, but gives you a chance to know when you can next bump into him. "What do you do when you're not skateboarding?" This gives you a chance to find out about common interests the two of you might share. Even if you're not interested in skateboarding, you should still pay very close attention to what your crush is saying. Active listening means you're paying attention to what he's saying, asking important questions that show you're listening, and absorbing the information he's giving you. It might sound strange to do this at first, but people definitely appreciate someone who isn't on their phone while they're trying to have a conversation. Not only will being positive and supportive bring him up and let him enjoy spending time with you, but it actually makes you more attractive to him. Try to see things in a positive light and avoid nagging about your insecurities. There's nothing wrong with having insecurities, but don't let them affect your actions.
summary: Hang out where he hangs out. Introduce yourself. Ask him questions. Be an active listener. Let your positivity shine.
