What does a day in the life of Madison look like ?
Lately , it seems like I ’ ve been experiencing new and exciting things every day ! Since the Assume That I Can video went viral , I ’ ve been spending my days talking to different media outlets all around the world . It ’ s been incredible ! A regular day for me isn ’ t so regular anymore ! I try to stick to my routine if I can . I always get my 10,000 steps in . I love to spend time with my friends and family and I love to go out to parties and dinners ! Since I started content creating , I also get to spend time making videos for social ! Just like anyone else , I get tired when I work long days . I always use music to hype me up ! I think my biggest challenge is when people assume I can ’ t do things . I sometimes get treated like I can ’ t do things or like I ’ m a little kid . It ’ s one more reason why the Assume That I Can campaign was so important .
Congratulations on your successful career . How did your professional journey begin ?
