Jinri Park starts life anew as a waitress in Australia

Athlete and model Jinri Park has welcomed change in her life after moving to Australia to be with her husband.

In a lengthy Instagram post, she revealed that she is starting her life anew and is currently working as a waitress there.

First, she recalled how eventful her life was back when she was in her twenties.

"If I had to describe my 20s in a word it would be glamour. From all the fun times I had during my college days, just drinking and clubbing with my friends to becoming a radio jock, model, actress and host, it's definitely been exciting. I had the opportunity to be infront of the mic and camera, having people doll me up and living very comfortably. Not saying that it was all fun, I had my fair share of being a newbie in the industry, heartbreaks, hardships etc (just as everyone else). But When I look back now, I can definitely say I lived my life to the fullest," Jinri begins her post.

As she entered her thirties, she was met with a lot of change.

"Now that I'm in my 30s, life has changed 180! I got married, moved to Australia, and now...got a job! For this past week I worked as a trainee for a restaurant being a waitress (I did graduate with a degree in HRM and worked also at Your Local for about a year as a Maitre d)," she shares.

Jinri also admitted being confused about her career prospects when she moved to Australia.

"Honestly when I moved to Sydney I didn't know what I wanted to do. I felt like I was back to zero, with not knowing what career path I'd want to take. I didn't feel like I fit in that glamorous life of being a model anymore, and wanted to move past it to something I would grow into. Maybe even spend the rest of my life doing," she explains.

Now, she has a plan but is not disclosing it yet.

"After months of thinking and discussing with family, I got to choose something I thought would be a good match for my strengths and personality. I can't tell you right now but will definitely update everyone once it starts!" Jinri says.

For now, she is working as a waitress to gain work experience and to save up to go back to school.

"So for now, I need to earn my tuition fee to get a degree for that job I want in the future(tuition fees for international students are extremely expensive here!!!). I've already met some awesome pinoy guests at the restaurant I work in and I was delighted how nice they were! If you ever meet me don't be shy! It's creepier if you just stare hahaha," she shares.

Jinri says that she is excited to live her new life.

"Looking forward to my new start, taking responsibility for my future. These are exciting times, it's never too late to start again. Don't ever be afraid to do something new, to start from the bottom and build your way up again," she says.

She also thanked those who continue to support her.

"Thank you to my followers who have been supportive even after I got married, moved to Australia and don't work as a sexy model hahaha I love you guys! Have the courage to start!" she ends.
