My own doubt
Growing up I was never aware of the fact that I always paid attention to
clothing that was wore by other individuals, whether it was real life or on TV. I
would try so hard to re-create those outfits, with the clothing that I had.
Looking back on that I knew that there was something about clothing and
wardrobe that had caught my eye at such an early age. Growing up I was still
influenced by the way clothes were wore, and even though my mother didn’t
have a lot of money, I would beg her to let me have the clothes the other kids
would wear.
Going into high school I would realize that fashion was something I had
to learn more about, and it wasn’t until college that my passion truly was in the
fashion industry. Studying here at Columbia College Chicago, I have been so
greatly influenced by the students around me, and it brings me great joy to
hear other students and things they have accomplished why they are studying
as well. It gives me a sense of hope that what they have accomplished U can
accomplish as well, as long as I try hard enough.
Although I haven’t had the pleasure of getting much experience through
internships, and traveling abroad, I know that things happen in due time, and
that there is no need to rush through the journey to get through the
destination. I plan on making most of the rest of my time here at Columbia. As
a Senior I can say that from freshman year all the way to this point, I have
become more patient, my perception of some things changed, I take more pride
my work, and I’m not afraid to try new things.

CURRENT STATE Non-aggressive;
scared to take
opportunities
Too Sensitive Takes things too
seriously
MY DESIRED
STATE
I want to have the
mentality of a go-
getter.
Opportunities for
something that can
benefit my future
won’t come all the
time, so when the
time comes I will
be ready to go
forward with
anything that
comes my way.
I want to have a
stronger back-
bone, and truly
realize the kind of
world we live in.
Disappointment
will arise but I will
know how to
handle it better
Life is hard, but it’s
not that hard. I am
learn to ease up
and laugh more,
because I have so
many things to be
thankful and happy
about.
MY ACTION PLAN
(to reach my desired
state)
Do some soul-
searching to see
what it is that is
holding me back
from my true
potential.
Develop a stronger
sense of who I am
and that no one
can cause how I
feel about
anything.
Meditate on more
positive things and
smile more.
“Your present circumstances don't
determine where you can go; they merely
determine where you start.”
