Undergraduate / "Every great dream begins with a dreamer" - my essay for FIT [7]
Revised version of my essay
Ever since I was in elementary school, I knew I wanted to do something in the art industry, but I never knew what. It was not until I saw my first fashion show did I fell in love with clothing. I never knew art could be incorporated into cloths, and make it look so sophisticated . The satisfaction that fashion show gave me was mesmerising. That is when I discovered my goal in life, and ever since I have been striving to a great fashion designer.
When I discovered my goal in life I knew it was not going to be easy, but I was determined. I always carry a sketchbook with me just in case I get inspired by something at any moment. To me fashion design is not just making glamorous clothes, and then selling it off. To me fashion designing is bringing out the much needed change in this world. That is whenever people hear about the word fashion the first thing that comes to their mind is revealing or sexy. I want to change that, to me fashion is being modest. It is about creating glamorous clothes that fit well with your culture, and yet being unique in it. I want people to look at the most glamorous women with my cloths on, and say "That is beautiful." I can confidently say I am prepared for college, and a career as a fashion designer. I have learned sewing in 6 months, and interned at a 500 fortune company during my senior year. I was recruited by an organization named Genesys Works. Genesys Works is a non-profit organization that helps high school seniors to succeed in the corporate world by giving them 8 weeks of summer training in IT and Business. I personally received 90% on both of these courses, therefore I got an internship at St.Jude Medical. I have the business skills and the IT to succeed in anything if I put my mind through.
In order to educate myself more, I needed to attend college. I was recommended to look into FIT, since it was one of the best fashion schools in the U.S . Fashion Institute of Technology to me was not just any other college on my list, but was the only reason I started out to plan for my life as a fashion designer. You need to know how to sow to be in FIT. I had no idea how to start a sewing machine, and they expected me to sew. I was so scared, but I knew I could not give up so easily so I made a plan. First things were first I had to start sketching my ideas, and understand the fashion figure. Then from there I would build up myself step by step. One thing that stood-out about FIT when compared with other schools is that the school allows one to start his or her major as soon as he or she steps through the doors. FIT was the reason I became more indulge in fashion. In the process of getting ready to be in FIT, I totally became a different person. I became what they called fashion-forward person. I sewed my graduation dress, and made a mini collection that consists of a dress, top, pant and a skirt. I was excited about the fact that I would be going to school with people who have the same ambition as I, because together we all can work to create a better world for fashion. Attending FIT will not just increase my knowledge in fashion, but will also open doors for my future.
Our future is in the steps we take each day. Five years from now, I will be interning at a fashion powerhouse. Most importantly, 10 years from then I will hopefully create an empire that runs under my name. I will be the very force that changes the world of fashion through modesty. My goal as mentioned earlier is to not just sell of cloths, but to make a difference out of it. It needs to be understood that fashion is anything that respects your body. Fashion lies in the beauty of your cloths not on how "sexy" they are. As much as it is hard to make any change in this world, I am committed to change this world of fashion for the better. Dreams never die as long as the dreamer believes in it. FIT is the only school that can help me be the force of change I am striving to achieve.
