As a young Haitian-American woman, I have faced many hardships whether it was racial profiling, low financial circumstances or not having family there for me but I never stop chasing my dreams as a fashion designer. I still continue to strive for my dreams. I was raised with both of my parents, who was born and raised in Haiti with little educational background. Neither of my parents finished high school. I also have a younger brother who will be repeating the same grade this fall and an older sister who dropped out of college. When I overview my family, it's actually a continuous cycle when it comes to lack of education and obtaining a degree. My biggest fear are not amounting into anything in life and not achieving for success especially as a Haitian-American woman. Massachusetts of Art and Design is a great school that I want to attend because it offers a great strategic priorities plan in which will develop me into an educated artist and a designer of today's world.
My career pathway have been on hold because my indecisive choices which has caused time to pass me by. I graduated high school and put off three years thinking I could be financially successful without a college education. Each one of those years that past me by I realize how hard success would come if I didn't have a degree, education and a plan. I settled for no education after high school because both my parents didn't finish high school and my sister dropped out of college. It's unfortunate that I don't have anyone in my family to look up to or call to about furthering my education, but that doesnt discourage me. My plan is to attend Massart and obtain a Bachelor degree in Fashion Design. After I obtain a degree in fashion design, I would like to start my own clothing and later open up showrooms to work with many boutiques.
Growing up and even now has been an ordeal struggle...
Fashion to me is an expression of one's inner self and not a reflection of every one's expectation of what should be expressed. Fashion is also a form of art that is inspired by many different things that we visualize to come to life and can also come from inspiration. I am inspired by many different artists but one artist that truly has inspired me is a designer named Stephane Rolland from England. Stephane is an inspiration to me because of the art he creates in each of his collection...
