Teenage Model

Backstage at a fashion show in Minneapolis, MN, 16-year-old Liz Kammerer of South St. Paul, center, tries to remain calm moments before walking the runway. "It's nice to have people actually look at me," Liz said. "When you're a teenager, you always get these magazines in the mail, and there are these models that are always looking pretty. They have perfect bodies. I see them and think, 'I want to be a model just like them.' That's what I want, for people to see me and say, 'I want to be just like her.' I want to get noticed by a lot more people, to get attention from them and feel like I actually did something."
