Follow His Heart

I'm actually not Sam. I'm his partner, Kelly. I'm doing this because I believe in him more than he believes in himself, and he probably would never apply on his own. Not because he doesn't want it, but just because he hasn't had much support before he met me. He's the most creative, caring, romantic, meticulous, inquisitive and outgoing man I've met in my life.

Sam is a 24 year old from Sydney. He finished his degree in Physical Education, but his real passion is travel and photography. When we travel, he finds the beauty in the people - no matter what socioeconomic background, race, language etc. He likes to learn from them and capture their "realities."

Although he would be considered "very amateur", he has that passion, drive and unique hunger to learn that seems to be missing from so many people these days. He's the hardest worker I've ever known, and I know he would be so grateful to be given this opportunity. He would absorb everything you had to offer, and in return, I believe he could bring a fresh new take to the field for you.

I wanted to apply for him because it can give him an opportunity to follow his heart - just as he allowed me to follow mine to Sydney.
