My mom (fb)

 My mom is one of the reasons i want to go to college.  When my mother went to college she went alone and that made a positive impact in her life. Since she didn't go to college with friends, she focused more on her work. Not that she didn't make any friend, but she did not have much of a distraction. She majored in mental health so she could become a social worker but I've time she divided that that wasn't the right path for her. The good part is that if she ever wanted a career in the mental health field, she has her degree.  One of my mothers biggest struggle with college was the commute. She had to take the train two hours going to school and two hours coming back home. I've learned that my mother is a very strong women, because while she was going to college she also had a baby at home. She could have quit but she kept on going

At first I was a little scared for college but I decided that i am excited for college. I'm  also more aware of the steps I need to take to be more successful in college. I also learned that I need to think more about where I want to be in the future and what I want to do with my life. I'm sure I'll figure It out.

FIT (PB)

As a teenager who was born and raised in New York City, Iloved going down town to shop. Seeing all of the flashy clothes and all of the different lights gave me a certain thrill, especially around the holidays when 5th avenue comes alive. Fashion has always come naturally to me even as a child. My mom would ask me to look at her clothes before she left to make sure she looked good and my big sister, still to this day, tries to take my clothes from me. She needs to get her own. I’ve also been sketching outfits for some time now and I think with the help I receive from FIT I will be able to develop a portfolio.
My life wouldn’t be complete without fashion, and majoring in fashion merchandising management would help me follow my passion. With this degree I can pursue a career as a fashion designer, which is one of my dreams, but if that doesn’t work out I can become a fashion buyer, editor or consultant. This major opens up many possibilities. The fashion industry is a tough industry to get into and going to FIT and earning my degree in this field will give me a chance in this hard world.
