Go to school for Fashion Design

Wow it’s been a year, I know it’s been longer since I’ve seriously thought about school for fashion. I’ve checked out collegeboard.com’s very helpful site to find many schooling options around the country. I think if in 3 years or more I’m stiiill into fashion which is such a broad field I want to go to one of the big name specialty schools. Just recently I got hooked on the Project Runway TV series and it gives me chills to think oh maybe that could be me someday!

welll, as it turns out I may or may not be as apt to becoming the self-proclaimed fashion designer as I had once dreamed of becoming. So I’m setting this goal on the back burner only in light of finding the best fit career path in place of it. Perhaps a sub-category in fashion or something altogether different. Either way I’ll find my niche!

well, i’ve got my application in, transcripts, housing application,and it seems everything is resting on whether or not the board of aducation decides to permit me access into their school ahhh! it’s so exciting and i have an extrodinary amount of nervousness about me, all at the same time.
I didn’t know what i wanted to be when i was growing up. I guess I had the same fantastic dreams of all little toddlers, i would say, just to please the adults with some sort of make believe aspiration, that i wanted to be a veterinarian like my best friend. Of course I didn’t know until later that the job not only entailed saving the animals, but putting them to rest as well.
So, i switched my gears and after being inclined to be rebelious in elementary, by refusing to wear the school uniform and i began to have an interest in fashion. At first it was because i didn’t want to be like everyone else. But also because i found joy in expressing myself through clothing. In Panama i saw people make their own clothes and grew respect for people who put the time and effort into making one of a kind peices of art, and artwork. I learned that where i came from, the Philippines people did the same thing, making their own clothes. And I wondered, why it seems like the United States are the only ones not in the loop.
I decided I want to work with my hands, to take on a craft that has been around for as long as people have been deciding to wear clothes rather than walk around in their birthday suits. It seems to me like a wonderful way to experience something of a worldy craft of the past, and being able to infuse it with modernday culture, it sounds exhilerating. I’d love to create my own works of art that can allow people to feel as good about themselves as I did in making the items.
So that’s my dream! And the start date to all of this is impending on one date, July 10. At least that’s when my classes will begin, whoooo!
