Ever since I was in first grade, I've known what I wanted to be when I grew up. I sat in my room, watching movie after movie. From watching media I started developing a sense of style. I began noticing that people give off a certain aura. This is when I decided that I wanted to be a fashion designer.
Ever since I was little, I wasn't afraid to look different than everyone else. I wasn't afraid to try new things and push the limit when it came to what I wore. Some of this came from my brother. He taught me that it is okay to be out of the box. On weekends, we would go to New York City. We would sit on a bench for hours at a time and simply look at the people who passed by. Some people dressed safe, while others pushed their limits. I slowly learned what worked and what did not from my "people-watching" hobby.
Ever since my brother discovered my interest in design, he buys me a fashion book on every occasion he can. Every Birthday and Christmas, I waited to see what new things I could learn about it. One year I got a book filled with Valentino dresses through out the years. To this day, this book is still the place I turn when I run out of ideas. It is my inspiration to continue in this field of work.
My greatest dream is to become a fashion designer. I want to style for broadway plays. I would also be interested in designing formal dresses or other avant garde garments. I had once designed my own prom dress, but never executed it. Maybe one day I'll be able to achieve this goal.
