American Dream Come True!

misty1.jpgHere at American Grooming Academy we believe everyone can achieve the American Dream! Being a business owner in the United States is one of the most fulfilling duties one person can Complete. Hard work, dedication, patience, and a willingness to put your dreams before your comfort are all keys to understanding the American small business mindset. This month at American Grooming Academy we are celebrating one student in particular who made her dreams come true.

Misty Modgling is a certified pet stylist. She graduated from American Grooming Academy. Long before this turn of events, Misty made a decision… She made a decision that many others before her have made, to start her own business and her own career! Misty wanted to be in charge of her life, schedule and work ethic. So she did something brave, she stopped everything to go to pet stylist academy! Misty had recently become a mother and was still on maternity leave when she enrolled in AGA.

I talked with Angela and explained to her that I wanted to take the 8 week course but only had 6 weeks of maternity leave left to complete it and that I was willing and very ready to come on as a full time student, Monday-Saturday so that I could finish the 320 hours in 6 weeks. She said it was possible and right then and there I signed up!”

This kind of determination is rare in students. In the years since American Grooming Academy has been open we have only had a handful of students complete the course in such a short amount of time! Not only did Misty complete the course but she did it with flying colors, making her one of the strongest students we have had at balancing learning , skill, and course completion.

Misty recently opened her mobile grooming business knowing exactly what she wanted to do. Believing that the small enclosed, self sustained, mobile grooming unit was a calm, and safe environment for her clients, she decided before she even graduated that mobile was the way she wanted to go. Another plus of the mobile salon, MOVEMENT… Misty is an on the move kind of girl and being kept in a building all day long would suffocate this go getter! The happiness this new momma has from being able to make her own schedule, to taking her new son with her on grooming days, makes her a real asset to the American Grooming Academy Alumna!

Misty, now a business owner, wants all students at AGA to know that she believes asking questions is the key to learning. “My advice would be to ask as many questions that popped in their head whether they think its stupid or not and get advice from all teachers and professionals because one way or another way might mean you understand better.”

We asked Misty about her favorite pet so far, and her response made all of us here at American Grooming Academy smile……”My first week being mobile, I get a call for a lady named Melissa and she said ‘You’re my last hope I have an 85 pound German Shepherd Dog who is a little over a year and he’s a big ball of energy and love.’ I said ‘So when to I get to groom this big baby?’” then the next morning I met Max the big loveable shepard and now I see him once a month. He runs and jumps in the tub and attacks me with kisses the whole time I am bathing him.”

We salute you Misty! Congratulations at making your dreams come true! We are proud and honored to call you Alumna!
