On Tuesday, I talked to my aunt who is my mom’s younger sister by 12 years. She asked me about my applications and I told her that I wasn’t truly happy with it. I expressed that I have a growing desire to go into fashion designing industry. That’s when she introduced me to Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising or rather, FIDM. She said it was a good school that focuses mainly on fashion and design! That’s just what I want to do! I told her that my mom would never allow me to apply but she encouraged me to try anyways because I should be in charge of my life, not my mom. I know that becoming a designer is not a traditional and stable job, but I think I will be able to handle it. I would never know if I don’t give it a chance.
That night, I went on FIDM’s website to see what I needed to do to apply. The deadline was 5 days away which meant I don’t have much time! I have to create an Inspiration Page of colors and styles that inspire me. Also, I have to sketch 6 fashion illustrations with fabric attached.
As of now, I’m done with my inspiration page:
I don’t have any fabric at home so I’m going to ask Mrs. Rubay tomorrow. I hope I can turn this in on time! My mom has no idea I’m applying to FIDM because I see no point in making a fuss if I don’t even get accepted. When the time comes, I’ll figure something out; my aunt said she’ll help me persuade her as well.
