Undergraduate / "I was once an introvert"; Benefit from and Contribute to [6]
Thanks for everything btw, but I completely made a whole new essay. Hopefully it fits in because I am applying to two schools strictly for fashion. The previous essay was for another college to take up communications.
"Explain your reasons for seeking admission to our college, including what you believe are your academic strengths and interests. Be certain to explain any situations that may have had an impact, either positively or negatively, on your academic record. Please list significant activities in which you have participated in and out of school. "
Instead of watching my Nick Junior Saturday cartoons, I would wake up thrilled to go to my ice skating lessons. It paid off when I was given the opportunity to participate in the seasonal competition. I arrived at the Floyd Hall Arena going in for the gold medal. As I unzipped my jacket, I was ready to step on the ice to flash off my one-in-a-million ice skating outfit. What is my secret? My mother and I designed it. I had my own sense of style. I favored loud, bright colors, shimmery fabrics, and sparkly accessories. Nothing seemed to fit my personality as I browsed through the clothes rack, not to mention, very pricey. After practices, we would make frequent stops to Rag Shop and buy sample materials. The uniquely designed costumes befit my personality and made me stand out. Based on my childhood experience and my mother's influence, I feel that I will make a significant contribution to the fashion world.
While fashion molded my desire for a successful future, I always had an interest in Cosmetology. As a preschooler, I remember the moment I first watched the "Cut-my-hair" Barbie commercial. I wondered how her looks differed all the time. I was so intrigued and fascinated; I knew it was something I wanted to do. Inspired at the moment, I searched for the scissors somewhere in the kitchen drawer. I cut off a huge section of my mother's long, beautiful hair while she was sleeping. Little did I know, this was the beginning of a new passion, Cosmetology. Excelling in this subject developed my adaptability. It required me to keep up to date with the latest hair fashion by coming up with new and different ways to style hair, as to reflect a person's individuality. It has greatly affected me as an individual by making me a more creative person. When my customer has an idea of what they want to look like, it is my job as a hairstylist to make it a reality. Every Saturday, I am excited to have my internship at the hair salon. I developed my skills especially some hands-on techniques. It wasn't even about the money; it was more about the experience. This helped me work with people face to face. I became very close to my coworkers and customers which helped enhance good communication habits. At the same time, it was refreshing to get along with people of different life experiences, cultures, and points of view.
In between my studies in Fashion and Cosmetology, I was devoted to dancing. Though, I seemed to fall short of mastering dance skills. I thought I was going to give up. I had to undergo struggles making it to the top, my commitment and motivation pushed me to become better and stay focused. I learned a valuable lesson. The measure of a person lies in their ability to overcome failure, and use it as a fuel for success. I am now a member of the dance troupe, "Urban." We combine different dance backgrounds that are admired from the city, such as hip-hop, break dancing, and popping. Today, we perform in fund raising activities and social events such as the Montclair Battlegrounds.
Since I was born and raised in America, my parents' country was foreign to me. After many visits to my hometown in Bantay, Philippines, I became very fluent in speaking our native dialect, Ilo Cano. Additionally, I was introduced to the "Bantay Bata" child welfare program. Their goal is to help protect children from child abuse. The lessons I learned taught me teamwork and social awareness.
During my sophomore year, I was voted class treasurer. It elevated my self-esteem knowing that my classmates trusted me. It was definitely a challenge to be involved in many activities. Along with assisting and organizing events, it helped me polish my interpersonal skills. The responsibilities and trust will serve me well in an independent college surrounding.
With the knowledge and experience I have gained, I hope to bring these values with me to college. A few years from now, I would like to see myself working in the fashion business and work for a reputable company like Vogue. I can only do this with the proper formal training and education which I strongly feel will be provided by your school. It is with great anticipation that I hope I'll get accepted at Montclair State University. This will connect me to all aspects of my desired major in Fashion.
