Kendall, I did not see anywhere in your comments that you were obligated to sign or give them any money, before giving yourself the time and opportunity to research the company, and the credentials of their instructors. Do you really think fame comes in such a short period of time? Some actors work for years without ever getting an agent. JRP is a finishing school, not an agency. If you went to a college or university, would you expect to go for free. It's called tuition. I am not trying to blame you, as I feel that your parents should have been more involved. Actors and models have to be trained, as with any profession.Once you have an agent and a manager they only get paid if you work, and you first have to be able to book a job, which means you have to know how to audition. If you paid the money, make them train you. My 5 yr-old daughter has done exactly that, After attending IMTA.She has a manager and an agent, and has been working for one year to reach the level she is at. She is still enrolled and attending classes.You were told about the lifetime program, which cost's $10,000. Which means you are serious about getting your money's worth. Ask them about going to IMTA in LA or NY,and see the cost of it and what you can get in return. A runway model has to be at least 5'9", for print 5'7". Do you fill those requirements??? Do the time, reap the rewards!! By the way, A.J. Trauth is from Las Vegas and did attend JRP there. You refer to JRP as an agency, it is not an agency it is a finishing school. Did they promise you anything? No, because there are no promises in this business. Expect nothing, give everything is what we were told. If you are tall enough and have the desire you can succeed, all it takes is money and determination. Good Luck, James Las Vegas, Nevada

How is it this Company is still around with all of the SCAMS they are doing? They are breaking our kids hearts and screwing with there self-esteem. Something should be done to permantly shut them down. This is not right.
