Then she is in a confessional setup revealing America's Next Top Model is "a great opportunity for models up-and-coming."

She happens to be a fan of the reality competition seeing as she grew up watching it. She stands at 5'6" and since this cycle has no set height requirement she felt she had to "take this chance" and tryout.

She is then seen in front of the panel of judges with tears streaking her face as she declares, "This is a blessing for me to be here right now!"

"I'm going to fight for this," she insisted.

Tyra Banks then reveals Ashley's photo from the shoot and while Banks' reaction isn't shared it's clear Ashley will be present for a little while since she made the top 14.

She has hopes to walk on runways and do editorial spreads. She even would like to be on the other side of things and become a photographer.

America's Next Top Model returns to The CW this summer on Aug. 5 at 8 p.m. ET for Cycle 22.
