Wayne Dyer once said “doing what you love is the cornerstone of having abundance in your life”. Ever since I was a little girl, fashion has always been a very important part of my life. However, while most young girls were busy designing Barbie’s next outfit, I was enthusiastically trying to figure out the best way to market and sell Barbie to my friends. This habit did not end during my childhood years; rather it followed me through high school. I firmly believe that being passionate about your career can add much happiness and depth to your life. By attending FIT I can bring and take away positive ideas and qualities.
Throughout my high school career I focused on law. Law was not my passion but with a family full of lawyers it is what I

In my personal life I have displayed the quality of determination. During my young adolescent years I was the victim of bullying. Not only did I receive this unfair treatment from my fellow students, but I also received it from an unexpected source- a teacher. After three years of harassment, things finally improved. I went to high school and learned how to defend myself. I gained my self- confidence back and was able to use my experience to help others. During my sophomore year in high-school, I helped launch two clubs. One club was for a free Tibet and the other to help stop bullying in our school and area. Being determined helped me move on from what happened to me and I was able to turn it into something positive that could help others.
The “Advertising, Marketing, and Communications” field is more than just a major. It is dealing with people, using your mind, being creative, and being willing to step into the unknown. This career requires people who are able to take charge and handle tasks in the best manner possible, talents I believe I possess. To study this major at FIT, one must love fashion and be passionate about it. Fashion does not just involve clothing, but it can tell a story and can convey different emotions. It takes a special type of person to be able to create, advertise and market fashion. Being able effectively communicate with individuals is also a very important skill that is
I am not one of those individuals who realized that a career in the legal field would be their lifelong dream from the age of six or even twelve, or to be honest, after graduating high school. I have been aimless for a majority of my life, and it shows. I chose to major in biotechnology, then after a few semesters, decided to double major in literature. I then went on to become president of an academic society focused on International studies. It was not until I took the course Law and Business in my Sophomore year with Professor Jisoo Lee that I believed I could be nothing else but a lawyer. I was enthralled by what others found tedious and boring, spending every available minute reading case files and figuring out ways to, as my professor
Determination is a powerful tool, it’ll count for you, not from you. It can value many things, one being risks. People take risks all the time, to make something better, even if you know you can fail. That’s what happened with Ernesto Galarza who had trouble learning English while trying to fit in, Farah Ahmedi who had to cross mountains with disadvantages to reach liberty, and Annie Johnson who was left as a single mother without much experience. They all face something that will lead them towards their goal. However, all three shared an ability to stay focused with perseverance to accomplish their goals.
After high school, students in the United States have various career choices to choose from. College is a place composed of numerous facets and activities, which offer a variety of avenues for the career-minded to explore, while offering growth and opportunities for advancement. A fine career choice for students to pursue in college in is marketing: planning, directing, and the coordination of marketing policies and programs.
Generally, does the field work, interacting with customers, there are intermediaries between advertising companies.

In short, they sell the offer of advertising space.In most cases, a university degree is required, preferably in marketing, leadership, communication, business, and advertising.

I came into college knowing for a fact that I eventually wanted to do to law school. While searching online, I found that there is no required degree for a law school application so I decided to become a history major. History is by far the subject I enjoy the most. I always did well in it at school and I enjoyed learning about Alexander the Great, Rome, the American Independence and all the other subjects that just make history great.
Perfectly perky and popular, slim waisted and long legged, silky plastic hair and a flashy smile frozen in time, Barbie has been lining toy store shelves and influencing young girls’ dreams since 1959. The teenage fashion model has managed to secure close to 150 careers, represent 40 different nations and cultures, and has collaborated with more than 75 different fashion designers, all amounting to an impressive resume theoretically thicker than a phone book. A cultural icon for the American wasteland of plastic and hollow female beauty standards, labor ideals, and domesticity, she remains the world’s most popular toy doll.
I have become determined due to a couple of changes that have happened in my life. The first reason is something that almost none of my friends know about. When I was 10, my uncle was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, which is a disease where the immune system eats away at the protective covering of the nerves. His disease has gotten progressively worse where he is now unable to walk and has to have an assist dog. He struggles in his everyday life because he can not use his legs but continues to try to achieve his goals and live his life the way he wants. He has shown me that I have to live each day to the fullest and never give up even if there are challenges standing in my way. I have become determined because my uncle has also shown me that any of these days could be my last and I should not settle for an okay life. Another one of my motivations to be determined has happened to me more recently. In March, I got really sick and found out that I had Type 1 Diabetes. This disease affects me in my everyday life similar to my uncle. With this disease I see the world much differently than I did before and have found that I have to work extra hard because my diabetes puts me at a disadvantage. In sports, I have to make sure my blood sugars are level so I can perform my best. This disease has made me more determined because I have to push myself harder than others do to achieve the same things. From this point
Determination is a virtue which allows one to push towards their goals at full speed and get up when they fall over the roadblocks that failure brings them. In today’s society too many people have lost the trait of determination they need to survive because they expect everything to be given to them right off the bat; they also do nott have enough willpower to get back up and continue on the path of success, and instead choose to turn right or left onto the path of failure or giving up. One example of determination in the younger generation is Kayla Montgomery, a eighteen year old who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis but stayed determined to run. Patrick Cromwell, Montgomery’s coach, shared a moment between Kayla and himself, “When she was diagnosed, she said to me, ‘Coach, I don’t know how much time I have left, so I want to run fast’ ” (Crouse). Determination allows a survivor to push through unwanted circumstances, as Kayla did, and pursue their dreams and goals that they want to achieve. Determination also provides a survivor with the comfort from the chaotic outside world of prejudice and jealousy that can corrupt ones dream of long term success. Vince Lombardi JR. stated, “The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will” (“Vince Lombardi Jr. Quotes (Author on What It Takes to Be Number One)”). Determination is what causes true survivors to push through the burning chaotic pain and challenges of life and thrive, as well as succeed when all else failed the challenge and were consumed by the darkness of the cave. A survivor will reach the end of the cave because they are determined to reach their opportunity and success in life no matter the challenges they
My interest in law is inseparable from my avid interest in sports. I am a sports enthusiast and a devout follower of all things baseball, basketball, football, and even soccer. The day I realized that my passion for sports could be coupled with a career in law is the day I came to know that I would set myself on a focused career path to attain my goal of becoming a sports attorney. Additionally, I have an interest in music law as well. My father has been in the music industry for forty years, and being around the industry for my entire life has definitely peaked my interest. The music industry is constantly changing, and it has been interesting to watch my father take on its evolving legal issues.
Lastly being physically fit relates to ones mental is study's found that regular physical activity to stay fit helps memory and to learn new things. Although this may seem like It doesn’t relate to mental health it does it two way one negative and one positive. So not only physical activity helps your memory but it can also be used in a variety of ways to help with school. A person who is not doing so well in school can either study after exercising or involve studying with his exercise. The negative part of this is that this might explain why some people aren't doing so good in school. Although people think being skinny is being fit it isnt, so when a person is failing or cant remember as much it might be due to the fact that the person rarely
Kenneth J Hutchins once said, “It is your determination and persistence that will make you a successful person.” This quote defines me as a person, because I feel like my whole life has been revolved around trying to be a successful person, but without my drive of determination that wouldn’t happen. To be a determined person you have to believe in yourself and constantly encourage yourself, to keep going no matter the circumstances. I’ve always been determined to get things done either in school or outside of school, I’ve always been this type of person. I feel like in order to be successful in life you have to have that desire to succeed. Of course there will be challenges along the road for me but what will definitely help me along the road will be my determination of succeeding, with all of my determination I will be able to overcome all of the challenges this world has to throw at me. I have found from working hard in this world you can make the impossible, possible.
The fashion industry is a utopia, of silk and suede and, shoes and belts. It is a place where flowers smell of Chanel and Givenchy; and trees bear diamonds and rubies, where extravagant living is a reality; and thin women walk down the many streets with hot cups of espressos every fraction of a second. And this industry is not just the fourth largest in the world, but also the most loved! Millions have found livelihood here. Millions try everyday to find their place. And the options for them are many- designer, model, photographer, choreographer, stylist- the list is endless! But is it as simple as it looks? With the cut-throat competition in current times, it's very difficult to carve out your own niche in this industry. To land up in a
In the past one year, when people ask me why fashion design major, I always talk about that I learn art for years and I like fashionable things. But meanwhile, I was yelling in my heart: “I just want to have a pants that fit my leg length!”
As I knocked on the heavy, black door to our local fitness center, I stood and waited as a woman put down her dumb bells and made her way over to the door to let me in. The moment I entered the gym I immediately noticed the smell of rubber mats and disinfectant spray. I sat quietly in the single black chair placed by the door, watching a few people silently do their workouts, as I waited for Jess Dillon to be done with her last client of the day so we could talk. Soon, a small, petite woman, who seemed no taller than 5’ 3” walked out of the back room wearing black workout pants along with a light pink tank top. She had her short, dark hair up in a ponytail and met my gaze with a soft smile. I immediately recognized her as Jess and followed her out of the gym. We walked through a brown door placed on the far west side of the fitness center which led to the lobby area outside of her private lessons studio. It was clean and had a calming aroma. There was a single wooden table with four matching chairs placed around it. Jess sat down very comfortably on the far side of a table, talking with ease from the very beginning. Jess is an outstanding woman in our small community due to her hard-worth ethic, belief in others, and confidence to overcome any obstacle she faces.
The career I have chosen to research was a career that I was thought was glamorous and unique to the working industry, a Fashion Designer. Fashion designers create original clothing, accessories, and footwear(U.S Department of Labor). They sketch designs, select fabrics, and patterns, and give instructions on how to make the products they designed (U.S Department of Labor). I had chosen this career because being an artist and my passion for fashion had pushed me to mix both aspects of creativity and start drawing my own designs of apparel. The fact that I also love shopping, especially vintage and thrift store shopping. Shopping helps me to get inspired by vintage designs and how can I create a new feel and style to the modern fashion trends today.
