This is the essay.
Who would have thought a fifth grade art project would lead to a love of fashion. Impressed with my mosaic, my teacher suggested I look into fashion design and this started my journey. It began at eleven with my Christmas subscription to Italian Vogue and I hope it leads to a degree from the Fashion Institute of Technology. To this end, I have already taken several steps toward this goal.
During eleventh and twelfth grade of high school I was enrolled in the Orange-Ulster BOCES fashion and interior design program. I found fashion exhilarated me, so I spent the summer between eleventh and twelfth grade at the FIT Summer Live pre-college program. The field trip to the garment district was unforgettable, as was the entire experience at FIT. The program confirmed my desire to pursue fashion as a career. After high school I attended SUNY Cobleskill. After a hard transition to college, I found I enjoyed my business classes. Cobleskill spurred my interest in the business side of fashion. I am proud of my hard work and dedication to studies at Cobleskill, which is evidenced by a 3.52 GPA and Dean’s list recognition in the spring semester.
I felt a need to be closer to home and began my second year at Orange County Community College. I took challenging coursework with a concentration of business and math and excelled with a 3.75 GPA . The goal of transferring into FIT was all the impetus I needed to dedicate myself to my studies.
Discretionary time is hard to come by. I work 20 hours per a week at a nursing home while taking 15 course credits. I found a disciplined and structured schedule a priority for success. I have balanced work, school, and maintained a high GPA throughout my semester at OCCC. As each day passes I work and study hard and keep my eye on the prize; a diploma from FIT.
