A Change Forever
So how can a video captured at a subway station change somebody’s life for good? To understand, we need to go back and learn more about Jennifer before the life-changing video. She grew up in a small town and always felt different from everyone she grew up with. Everyone around her expected her to become a model or actress, but she never took a chance on herself. That’s until this video happened…
A Change Forever
The Big Picture
Jennifer’s first serious relationship was with a handsome man named Jake who was working at the National Railway Equipment Company. Jake began to experience a lot of pressure more work, which took a toll on his relationship with Jennifer. Unfortunately, he did not notice how his behavior was affecting Jennifer.

No Fairytale Ending
Jennifer was working odd jobs which meant that she was not working consistent hours and she had to dedicate a lot of time to planning out her schedule. The two were planning to move to California, so she was trying to save up as much as possible. Jake offered to help her supplement rent payments, but she wanted to pay for herself. She started to feel like Jake was becoming possessing.

Aggression Issues
Jake started to complain about Jennifer’s clothes and hair and began to pick fights with her when she would get home late from work. He would pick fights and then apologize afterwards, saying that he was stressed out from work. One day, Jake said something that caught Jennifer off gaurd.
Aggression Issues
Shocking Suggestion
Jake suggested that they try to have a baby. Jennifer was absolutely shocked by this, because they had previously agreed that it was the time to focus on their careers before considering a family. As an aspiring actress, Jennifer knew that getting pregnant would seriously complicate any chances of getting roles.
Shocking Suggestion
No Common Ground
Jennifer told Jake that she thought they had agreed that it was too early to consider having kids, but Jake wouldn’t back down. He said that he thought having a baby would be the best way for them to rekindle their relationship, and continued to blame her for their strained relationship. He said that she cared more about her job than their relationship.
No Common Ground
An Idea Sparked
After their latest argument, Jake went to work and Jennifer was left with her thoughts. She started to look through photos of their relationship and was thoroughly confused about what she was going to do. She wondered how she could explain the situation to Jake where he would understand. She then stumbled upon a photo that sparked an idea in her mind.
An Idea Sparked
A Reminder
The photo she found was from a vacation she and Jake took together to Los Angeles in 2019. While they were there, Jake promised that they would eventually move to LA within the next two years. Jennifer knew that if she reminded him of the good times they had, he would be more willing to reconcile and listen to her.
A Reminder
A Secret Plan
Jennifer decided to hatch up a secret plan that involved planning out a special night for Jake that would conclude with a surprise gift. She thought that after she would plan out an evening like that for them, he’d be happy to talk and they could repair their relationship.

Everything Was Ready
As she planned, she did everything she could to keep the plan secret. Everything was ready to go, all that was left to do was to pick up the photo collage that she ordered. She texted Jake and headed out. She had no idea what was coming next.
Everything Was Ready
Health Scare
Since she had been so busy for the past few weeks between balancing work and planning the surprise, she skipped too many meals, leaving her body feeling to weark. As she arrived at the print shop, she suddenly felt strange and then passed out.

Abandonment Fear

Abandonment Fear
Feeling Reassured
As soon as she uttered these words, the door opened and Jake walked in, carrying a tray of food. Jennifer was relieved, as she worried that he would still be too angry with her to come. Her mom reassured her that Jake had been there the whole time.
Feeling Reassured
Glint Of Hope
Jennifer was so happy to hear that Jake had been there the whole time, and she figured he couldn’t be angry with her anymore. She was still a bit cautious, since she knew that Jake had a tendency of not wanting to look bad in front of others. She wondered whether he was just acting this way in front of her mom?
Glint Of Hope
The Spark Is Back
Luckily, it seemed like Jennifer didn’t need to worry, and that Jake was not mad. In fact, he even seemed like he was sorry and he was acting kinder than before. She felt like she got the old Jake back, but she wondered if this would last.

The man on the phone explained that he was looking for her specifically, and once he explained who he was Jennifer was completely shocked. This call would change her life forever.
Mysterious Call
Unexpected Opportunity
The man on the line was an agent working for Star Entertainment, a global agency that represents models and actors. He told her that an important client insisted on interviewing her. If she accepted, she would need to travel to New York City the next day in order to make the scouting conference in time, and the trip and accommodation would be fully paid for.
Unexpected Opportunity
A Lot Of Planning
Though she was initially skeptical, Jennifer soon realized that this was a legitimate opportunity. She started to plan out her trip and knew that in case things fell through, her good friend who lived in New York would let her stay with her. She couldn’t wait to tell Jake.
A Lot Of Planning
Excited But Nervous
She was thrilled about the opportunity, and could not believe that she had her chance to make her dreams come true. She was very excited but also a little nervous because everything was happening so quickly. She decided it was time to tell Jake.
Excited But Nervous
Announcement At Dinner
She waited until Jake was finished working. She made dinner for the two of them while listening to inspiration speeches. Once he finally arrived, she served them the dinner. She could barely contain her excitement and she finally blurted out: “I got scouted!”
Announcement At Dinner
His Reaction
Jake looked at her, completely stunned, and asked “what?” Smiling, Jennifer explained: “I got scouted by an agency and they want me to come in for their conference.” He stared at her without saying a word for a few moments. Then he asked: “when and where is it?”
His Reaction
A White Lie
Jennifer sighed to herself and wondered whether it was a good idea to tell him the truth about the conference. She decided that she would fib about the truth and only tell him the truth if she ended up getting signed. She told him that the conference was the next evening but in Mesa, Arizona.
A White Lie
Secret Reveal
Jake and Jennifer were living in Phoenix, Arizona, and Jennifer’s mom lives in Mesa. That’s why she told Jake that the conference was there. Jake was clearly upset, and the two began to argue once again. In the heat of the moment, Jake let out a secret that shocked Jennifer.
Secret Reveal
A Difficult Revelation
Jake revealed that he had been lying about looking for a new job in Los Angeles and that he had no plans of moving there at all. He admitted that he only said it to appease her and he was hoping that she would give up on her aspirations and become a housewife. This left Jennifer completely devastated.
A Difficult Revelation
She Needed Space
Jennifer slept at her friend Macy’s house that night. After that fight, she realized that she didn’t really know who Jake was as a person. She wondered whether it was worth it at all to go to the convention. She was just feeling completely confused.
She Needed Space
Looking For Advice
Jennifer decided to stay with her friend and talk things through with her. She thought it would be better to calm down completely before talking to Jake again. After a few drinks, she asked Macy for her advice. She didn’t tell Macy what caused the fight, but she did tell her what his lies were.
Looking For Advice
Getting Support
Macy was a good friend of hers since they were just kids. She had always known that Jennifer dreamed of becoming an actress and that she worked tirelessly to make her dream come true. Macy told Jennifer that she understood why she had lied to Jake and that she supposed her. Jennifer realized she needed to make a choice.
Getting Support
Making Up Her Mind
Jennifer decided to go through with her plan of going to the conference. She would tell Jake if she ended up getting signed. She thought that maybe Jake wanted her to be a housewife because he didn’t believe she had a chance. If a big agency signed her, maybe he would change his mind.
Making Up Her Mind
A Risk
The next morning Macy drove Jennifer to the airport and she headed to New York. There, her friend Heather picked her up. Since the conference wasn’t for another few hours, they decided to rest at Heather’s apartment beforehand. That was when Jake called, and he was completely furious.
A Risk
The Ultimatum
He demanded that Jennifer tell him where she was. She told him that She had gone to the conference and was staying with her mom. Angrily, he responded by telling her that she either had to quit her dream or their relationship would end.
The Ultimatum
The Conference
After all the awful things that Jake said, Jennifer did not feel like going to the conference anymore. Heather insisted that she had to go, and she decided to listen. When she arrived at the conference, she noticed a huge line of girls and many areas for signing in.
The Conference
Special Announcement
Jennifer soon realized that of the hundreds of girls in attendance, only five of them were invited to the conference. She still had no idea who was the one who had gotten her the interview, but the agent on the phone had told her it was a big star. She was still confused, and then an announcement was made.
Special Announcement
The Challenge
They were told that the five girls who were invited were being signed as models, but they had to pass a challenge in order to be signed as actresses. Their challenge was: “you must create a vital moment.” They were told that generations of audiences had to connect to them on a personal level.
The Challenge
A Risky Idea
Jennifer was initially unsure of what to do. She had never been to New York City before. They were given a week to complete the task. While she was waiting at a subway station, a small child asked her mother, “mom is she like a model?” and suddenly Jennifer came up with a risky idea.
A Risky Idea
Making A Choice
She thought about Jake and the ultimatum he had threatened her with. She realized that if her plan for the challenge worked, he would know that she had lied to him. She thought of the conversation she had with Heather right before the conference, and she knew she had made her choice.
Making A Choice
Game Changing Conversation
Jennifer told Heather about everything. Luckily, Heather is a therapist, so she was the perfect person to discuss difficult situations with. Heather told her that it sounded like her relationship with Jake was not a healthy one, and that a supportive partner would never ask her to give up her dream. So what did Jennifer decide?
Game Changing Conversation
What Happened Next
Jennifer decided to go ahead with her plan. While staring down the CCTV, she strutted down the train platform as if it were a catwalk. She walked down the side of the tram and struck a pose at the end. People immediately started taking photos of her. One stranger would change everything forever.
