FROM SUDAN TO SAN ANTONIO TO SEVENTH AVENUE

Here's a "Only In America" story that gives us warm and fuzzies! Sudanese refugee and Clark High student Ataui Deng started taking modeling classes in San Antonio, then signed with a local agency and began booking print work for stores like Neiman Marcus.
Soon, she heard about a model search at Crossroads Mall. She did so well there she moved on to a competition in Dallas last March, where she was spotted and signed by Trump Model Management. Now she is the "it girl" on New York catwalks. We wish the 17 year old Deng much success.
