Q: Tell us about the first job you've ever held
A: My first job was unique and whimsical - I was a living statue! Dressed elaborately, I became a woman with a flower pot, entertaining people at City Day celebrations across different cities. It was more than a job; it was a lively performance that brought joy and curiosity to each city's heart. Standing still wasn't enough; I had to embody a character, creating enchanting moments amid the festivities.
