Help edit my essay vassar supplement. elaborate on one of your extracurricular activities.
It is hard to say how one acquires an eye for art or fashion. However, I can vividly remember how I discovered my passion for creating works of art in the form of jewelry. Last year, my high school was invited to an Arts Gallery Competition. In preparation for the competition, my school organized workshops on the craft of bead making. These workshops were conducted during the weekends. The first day our instructor came to class, she had a bag filled with colorful beads that captured my interest immediately. Fortunately, I was quick to learn and even quicker to put my own twist in the process. I could hardly believe I made such beautiful pieces of jewelry.
As time went on, my passion for bead making became overwhelming as I would spend a better part of my day and even night threading beads. I frequently paid visits to a local craft shop near my house in order to buy beads, bead stops, and wire cutters with the little savings I had. After the competition, I bought quality beads of different colors and sizes and transformed them into beautiful intricate pieces of jewelry. These trinkets were eye candy for me. Their beauty seemed to nourish my soul and still does. The skills and creativity that went into making them beguiled me. The society had made wearing of beaded jewelry quite a fashion statement, so I used the opportunity to make some money to settle some of my family's needs.
Although, I am passionate about the sciences, especially, Chemistry, I love bead making. The art of bead making to me is really a study of creativity and patience. I always feel a real sense of accomplishment when I make these ornaments. I really hope the flexibility and openness of Vassar's curriculum would enable me to combine my studies with my hobby of bead making. It would also be an honor to create artistic and gorgeous jewelry that will adorn the Arts Centre of Vassar College and be displayed during the African Union Culture Show.
