My daughter went to the AC one and is one of the ones "picked" to be a brand ambassador. We went for the fun of it. To put things in perspective, her instagram is really locked down , her 'followers' are all personal friends or family. She cheers for a competitive rec program. Yes she wore Rebel but it was a full top only bling around team name uniform. She left her glasses on and just had fun with the experience.
She is the opposite with me in that she is shy when talking to people sometimes, so the interview was a good experience for her. We went in to it with the attitude of this is for fun. She thought it was cool to have Jeff Hughes take her picture, she really enjoyed the interaction with him and the other Rebel people there.
She is so excited to have seen her name on that list. Just knowing she's getting some swag in the mail (tshirt etc) has her ecstatic. We are on a super limited budget so this is so exciting for her.
To add to this, her older sister is a cancer survivor and an ambassador for ALSF, has been on TV and in print too many times to count. Speaks to large crowds frequently etc. and while my youngest is included it is always about her sister.
So while this was a small thing it was an afternoon solely about her. I'm not denying this probably brought the Suzy mom's out in full force, but just wanted to put the experience up for someone who came at it from a different angle.
