Well I guess you can say I grew up pretty cultured. At least I see it that way. When it comes to school I had ups and downs such as math not being my strongest subject but by Junior year I found something that fascinated me. Psychology. Leading to me taking AP psych and wondering if I could find a career in this field.  Overall my passion lies within the field of fashion and design. I’ve always had a sarcastic side to my personality,Interesting fact, I professionally model socks.

From the book Ten Skills You Really Need to Succeed in School by John Langan, I learned that I can manage my time with two jobs and school and also that it’s not so hard to make a well rounded thesis. Making a “to do list” for daily to weekly routines. Also evaluate my daily use of time because watching Gilmore Girls before and after class doesn’t always best suit my schedule.

Help with a thesis didn’t just come from John Langan’s book but also from our class. I would’ve never known the three levels of a thesis. Without learning about how to write a well thought out thesis I’d be pretty lost. Probably not even having a thesis more of just a run on paragraph.

My idea of kindness is to always help people even if they don’t seem to need the help. Nobody ever really seems to admit to needing a helping hand. So when I make clothes or at least try to attempt it, I aim for something my friends will wanna wear or something that will wanna inspire. Such as this is the first design I’ve attempted and hope to finish. I hope to design clothes for people, clothes that will inspire others. Clothes that you’re not gonna see at every mall with the same design just made with a cheaper fabric or fake or real suede. To make reasonable priced clothes for everyone. (Both jackets made or designs altered by me
