Undergraduate / Billionaire Boys Club - Common App Essay Prompt One HELP [5]
Prompt: Some students have a background, identity, interest, or talent that is so meaningful they believe their application would be incomplete without it. If this sounds like you, then please share your story.
Essay: My name is Aric Fulton. I'm a 17 year old soon-to-be early graduate from Morton Senior High School in Hammond, IN.
I currently run my own street wear t-shirt (clothing) line called "RVRE vision". RVRE vision is a street wear brand created and ran entirely by me. The design, creative direction, packing orders, promotion, and marketing; is all done by me.
All of my middle school days were rough times for me. I was attending a school whose students and faculty did not really value diversity and being different. These students who were not the "same" were rather labeled as outcasts. I was faced with bullies everyday.
I got into design when I was in the eighth grade. Around that time I was constantly trying to pick up new stuff from several stores. I was also collecting limited edition pieces of clothing from brands (like STUSSY, supreme, Billionaire Boys Club, etc.,). Then I realized just buying this stuff wasn't enough. I wanted to make it myself. So, my only escape from these feelings of isolation were to work on designs, for my at this time, non-existent clothing line. Because I had no money at the time I could only design and not have anything produced. But, I was saving up my money day by day and this quickly changed.
Halfway through Freshman year, I had saved up enough money to have my very first release of clothes. I had two t-shirts released three months apart) with original graphic designs made by me.
This time in my life really helped me understand you can accomplish everything you put your mind to through adversity as long as you remain confident and stay true to who you are.
