Ever since I was a little girl, I always had a passion for designing clothes or just making them better. When I was a junior in highschool, I drew a path for myself and promised myself that I would follow that path and never look back. And here I am today...following my path to a fashion designer.
             What appeals to me about this major? I love the fact that you are part of a unique creation. How many people can walk by a store and say, "hey, I was part of that..." and walk away smiling? Very few. Fashion design interests me because I love fashion. I like studying about the history, analyzing new trends and predicting what the new trend would be and how far it would go.
             I chose to apply to FIDM because of several reasons. Because I have a passion for fashion, I feel that I should attend a school that specializes in what I want to do. To be honest, I am not the traditional English, science,and math type. Although I have no problems with studying these subjects, its not what interests me like designing does. That's why I chose FIDM, because it concentrates more on my major and gives me hands on experience.
             If accepted, after graduation, I would apply for the third year advance fashion design course to expand my knowledge. After completing that, my goal would be to have my own clothing line called, "N.Ly" or at least come close to that. I know that creating a whole clothing line is not going to be easy but I'm a big dreamer and I will do everything in my power to make that happen. When my mind is set on something, I follow through with it. I know I should be saying things like, "if that fails... then I'll do this..." but I'm not going to say it. I feel that you shouldn't have to worry about that bridge until it comes time to cross it.
