When I was young I was always changing my mind on what I wanted to be when I grew up. With my many different interests it was hard to choose. I wanted to be a vet for a long time because I was what you could say, obsessed with dogs and wanted to work with them and maybe even cats but nothing else. When I was taking dance classes for a while I want to be a choreographer for a minute. One of my favorite tv shows was Americas Next Top Model so, I wanted to be a model. With all my many different interests and different careers I wanted, one thing is for sure and that has never changed my love for fashion. Ever since I was able to dress myself I would and wouldn’t let anyone else tell me what to wear. As my family would tell me, they knew that I had my own sense of style from a young age. Over they years my love for fashion and creating things grew and never went away. While taking sewing classes in middle school, I wanted to be a fashion designer and that stayed my top career choice for a while. Once I got to high school I first took a fashion marketing class. In that class we learned a little bit about different marketing and how to promote some stores …show more content…
In that class we talked more about the different careers in fashion. We first started out sketching and designing clothes. That’s where I figured out I didn’t really want to be a fashion designer, but I still wanted to be in that type of field. Later we started talking about owning our own store and watched videos about people who own their own stores. For one of our projects we created our own store. We designed a line that we would carry, we designed a floor plan, we created our store window, inside displays, and a marketing and advertising plan. I really loved that part of the class and it gave me inspiration about what career I would want to go into. I also thought it would be a more of a reachable type of career in
Everyone at one point has to make a decision on what they want to be when they grow up. For me, that decision came rather unexpectedly and was a result of a new found interest due to self-discovery. It all began when I was around the age of 8 and I watched a documentary on aircraft. It documented all about planes, how they work and the science behind them. I was immediately captivated and gaining all that information as a young child really hit the spot in terms of a new found passion and interest that I could see myself later using. This passion stuck with me ever since as I have spent tons of spare time studying different types of aircraft and collecting model planes. It ultimately helped me with my answer to the question of what I wanted to be when I grew up as being an aeronautical engineer. It is not a career most would pursue, but it shows how self-discovery impacted me at a very young age and the impact is so log lasting that it has influenced most of the decision I make now in terms of courses I take at school and the extracurricular activities I am a part of. Without self-discovery, I was able to gain an understanding of where my interests lay, the abilities I have to acquire complex information and the feelings I had towards my new found interest and
As young child we are all asked what we would like to be when we grow up. Usually the answer is a firefighter, a policeman, or nurse. When I was a child I changed my mind multiple times. At first I wanted to be Minnie Mouse, then a dancer. Then, about two years ago, I wanted to be a crime scene investigator. I had all my plans worked out. I was going to attend the University of Memphis and major in criminal justice. However, one day about a year ago, my mind totally changed. I decided to go in the complete opposite direction. I decided that I wanted to be a cosmetologist.
Every time I was asked what I wanted to be when I grew up, I always had different answers. An author, a photographer, even a video game tester. I've juggled lots of different careers, and yet I still don't seem to know which one I really want to do. When I was younger I always loved to write. Fiction was my favorite genre, especially when it comes to dystopian worlds. I always joked with my friends and family that after I become an author and "make millions off my first book", I'd be able to buy them whatever they desired. After I got a bit older though, writing just wasn't my top priority anymore, I lost interest in it sadly. Don't get me wrong I still like it, I'm just never in the mood to write anymore. So, being an author was crossed
When I was a little girl, I always wanted to be something that had to do with Criminal Justice. Why? Well because I use to watch a lot of those crime shows when I was younger and they always had my full attention. Plus my aunt is a sheriff so when I could I would go to work with her and I get an even closer hand on look at CSI work. So going with her made me even more interested day by day. At that moment I knew what I wanted to be when I finished high school.
I started off with architecture. That was what I studied. Then things changed in my life, and I decided years later that it was time to try something else. So I decided to become a graphic designer. Then I came to Canada and worked as a graphic designer in a company for years. But I was getting uninspired, and I knew I needed a change, but I didn't know what to do. It was a point
From the moment I starting my educational path I knew four years wouldn’t be enough to fill me with all the dimensions of the fashion industry. This led me to make my decision to apply for the M.S. Global Fashion Enterprise degree. When asked how this program at Philadelphia University would benefit me, I will begin by giving a background on my previous education. I started my undergraduate degree at Buffalo State College in upstate New York pursuing a Bachelor degree in Fashion Merchandising. After being in the program for a year I was confident in knowing I needed a change. My journey changed drastically when I moved down to sunny Fort Lauderdale, Florida where I transferred to the Art Institute under the same major. I will be graduating with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Fashion Merchandising come this June 2014. My experience at the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale has uncovered my love of education and research.
Transitioning into this class was difficult because the only way I could sew was by hand sewing; I had never sewn with an actual sewing machine. Before I could sew with a sewing machine, I had to read and understand the manual of how it works. After reading the manual, I then came up with my own project ideas. For example, one of my first projects was making a skirt and I learned how to make by reading a pattern which required knowing the language of sewing. Once I learned how to make a simple skirt, I was able to come up with more challenging projects, including wall hangings and pillows. In addition to making my own projects, I also had to complete research projects on other sewing artists. When doing these projects, I became more aware of the different perspectives of sewing and how other artists get their inspiration. For example, many artists get their inspiration through nature or they create work based on times of their lives. I knew that after the great experience I had in my textiles class, I wanted to continue and expand my knowledge on the language, reading, and writing of
Growing up I always loved animals and science, and wanted to become a veterinarian. That soon changed once I entered senior year high school and realized that chemistry and physics was not my strong suit and that I did not want to put in the arduous work to study. My grades were average and my mom said, “your grade point average is not good enough to compete against students who want to be a veterinarian.” By saying this, she figured it would motivate me to do better, but it did not. I ended up doing research in other fields that I would be interested in., or that I had a hobby in. I came across wanting to get my degree in Communications because there was a lot of writing involved and I loved to write and it was so broad you can go into any career field.
Miranda Kerr says, “A rose can never be a sunflower, and a sunflower can never be a rose. All flowers are beautiful in their own way, and that’s like women too”. This message is not being sent to the viewers of many television shows today. America’s Next Top Model is a reality television show that takes a group of women and decides which one is the best model out of all of them. The winner gets a modeling contract and money. America’s Next Top Model makes people believe it is okay to judge young women on their beauty. It also portrays the unrealistic image of beauty that social media surrounds us with today. When competing on this show, young women will give up everything about themselves just to be ridiculed and to have their appearances
I have always regarded myself with having the best work ethic of anyone I knew. When at high school, I thought as myself as the best all-around student, and person. Being highly regarded by both faculty and students was a great confidence boost when I began my college application process, but I soon realized how it was hard to but all of my accomplishments, into a very short essay. I was not, and still am not the best academically in my class, but to me, it doesn’t matter if my GPA isn’t a 4.0 or if I didn’t graduate valedictorian of my class. What I know is I possess skills that make me the best candidate for anything I want to pursue.
I enjoy making sketches of clothing that one day will hopefully be available in stores all over. Fashion designing in my opinion is a way to express the unique side of your creativity, also fashion designing is a career that I believe I can achieve in so highly if I stay focused and continue to putting forth effort in my creations. I could see interior designing as a possible career in my future because it’s somewhat similar to fashion designing just in the designing area. Both involve having a since of style and an eye for color, texture and pattern coordination.
Many individuals are unsure of the career they want in life. Even in college students are unsure of their career path. Nevertheless, this is not the case for me. I knew what I wanted to pursue when I was sophomore in high school. I had always sung, but I was unsure that music was a career I wanted to pursue. I wanted to be an anesthesiologist because they made a respectable amount of money. I grew up pondering that money buys happiness. How could I be happy with a career that I do not adore?
I did not always want to be a musician. Everybody always talks about choosing the job you love, but for me, those options are limited. I am the kind of person that does not attach to much; I do not get passionate, and the thought of doing some dull and uninteresting job until I reach my dying years horrifies me. For me, music is the only career worth grinding through the hardship to reach success, it was all that I could actually be passionate about and I realized this as a young teenager. Music was the one thing I wanted to do for the rest of my life. The big picture was that I would not be able to sit around and watch my life unfold. I knew I would have to work at music if I ever wanted to go anywhere, and I started immediately. I taught myself to play piano and practiced almost nonstop, but I knew this would not be enough either; I made the decision to drop all of
Teaching new techniques on how to design your own clothing or being able to experience a different lifestyle than the usual beneficial careers that people study and go to college for. In the article ¨The lady leads day of Fashion Education at the white house.¨ by Robin Givhan Michelle Obama states how ¨Fashion is really about passion and creativity, just like music or dance or poetry.¨ (1) I agree with the statement, just how music artists become successful in having a great voice and lyrical talent it’s also similar to fashion designers on becoming successful by starting new trends and new designs on their clothing. Michelle also stated ¨For so many people across the country, it is calling; it is a career. In the matter on how they feed their families.¨(1) In my opinion whether you go to school for fashion or not it is a career. It might not be the same in other people's point of view, they might look at it as an ¨unstable¨ career in a person's future, a business at the end of the day that people enjoy doing it pays good depending on how much work and dedication you put into
Most of my life has been focused on my career. I never really thought about my life outside of high school until my junior year. It was not until this year that I realized all the things that were involved with my career interests. Although I am very committed to my career choices. I have chosen to major in elementary education and minor in photography.
