Character Study: Selah Part 1

Spilling her fourth cup of coffee all over her taught, rosy, pencil skirt; Selah began barking orders to her inferiors while the whole studio was panicked with deadline anxiety. Three months ago Selah had gone from being a punctual intern to superior in the Moxie magazine studio. She was blessedly promoted after a hectic performance of her value. This valiant tale began with an acceptance letter and beautiful scholarship arriving at her humble home in Santa Maria.

She had applied to University of Washington four months prior to this unimpeachable omen. Her family was tight on money due to her father starting a new job after being fired from the former of thirty years, her mother also worked two part time jobs but it never seemed to be enough for them to live comfortably. The Western Exchange Program decided to reward her with enough scholarship money to allow her to afford this prestigious journalism college and the next fall she proceeded to move into her new dorm room. She was set up to major in English and pursue a career in journalism. After one quarter at UW Selah got an internship at a very high end magazine company, Moxie, stationed in the heart of Seattle. She had always designed the pages of her high School's magazine and she had loved it then, but only thought of it as a passionate hobby. She interned in Moxie's design studio and ended up killing it!

Selah was rewarded the opportunity of hiring a new intern since she was promoted; as luck would have it, she ended up meeting a very intriguing girl looking for a job to get back up on her feet. She had been mistakenly kidnapped and dropped in Seattle so Selah felt it very rewarding that she could help out. This girl proved to be a very great bonus to their team and relieved Selah of a lot of her stress. After only a short period this girl had to quit because she found adventure elsewhere. This, in turn, caused Selah's boss to grow angry and create a very unpleasant environment which finally pushed Selah into excepting a job elsewhere at a more intellectual magazine company.  

After only a few weeks at this new company Selah was in love. While still enrolled at UW, she signed a ten year contract overseeing design for this company and can feel the many adventures and travels awaiting in her future. Not many people can say they never work a day in their life because they don't see their job as an obligation, they see it as a passion. Selah sees her job as a passion, and she savors every waking second of it.
