I have been trying to find the right way to write an essay for the Fashion Institute of Technology. I love writing and have written many things in my life but I panic when it comes time to write an essay for this school. I do not know many big words and have not had much oppurtunity to be out there joinning clubs and such to add to my essay. I have however done many big things that seemed like big accomplishments to me. I am apart of a few online organizations like Global Warming, Presidential Prayer Team and One but they may not count? I do help people but not in any phsyical organizations. I just help people in every day situations like my family, at work, my friends and on the streets. I didnt have a stable household so my concerns were much more focused on the future and my insecurities/shyness kept me from pursuing alot of activities during my school years but I did recieve alot of awards for art projects throughout my school years and I was also given the chance to go away to Philadelphia for an art scholarship but my mother would not allow to me travel to the city alone.

Anyway, I seriously have been wanting to go to the Fashion Institute of Technology for a long time. I have been dreaming of being a Fashion Designer since I was very young and have been drawing designs ever since. I could not wait until I finally got out of schol to pursue it.

So I have to write an autobiography for this school. I can write and write al day if I could but my wording and punctuation is terrible.

Could someone give me some advice?

I am going to write my first draft tonight, would someone be able to proofread ?

Thanks and Happy new Year!

Advice?

1) Do not worry about using 'big words' - it is better to use simple language that clearly expresses what you mean.

2) Do not waffle too much. Plan out your essay and keep it all in a logical order.

3) Certainly include your art projects and you could mention your offer of an art scholarship and then just say that unfortunately you were unable to take advantage of this.
