Ever since I was a little girl, my parents always wished I would one day be an olympic athlete and so they tried to enroll me in every single sport possible, ranging from basketball all the way to soccer. I hated sports, and especially sweating. I never wanted to do anything with sports, and I had a fear of being injured. I always had a love for fashion, and dressing up made me so happy. I knew I always wanted to pursue fashion the minute I made a dress out of my soccer jersey during a soccer game. Fashion always interested me, I had several people in my family who made careers for themselves in the fashion industry. I wanted to be just like that. I wanted to create something in my mind, that would fascinate people, and would make them want to buy my items.
With lots of dreaming and high hopes, my mom one day enrolled me in ballroom dancing class. This was probably one of the only sports I absolutely loved, because I would wear outfits covered in rhinestones and would get to compete in grand ballrooms, like the roseland ballroom in New York City. Though dancing, I grew an intrest for this sport, and supported my teacher through the time she was on Dancing with The Stars.
Recently, I was watching Dancing With the Stars, and ran into a segment were they announced there was a contest, where you would have to design a dance costume and if you were chosen you would get to fly to california and be featured on the show with the dress you created. I immediately thought this was absolutely the best idea Ive ever heard of. I didn’t have much time, so I grabbed my pen and paper and drew something off the top of my head. Six hours later, my masterpiece was complete.
I dont think these next few days could go by any slower, while waiting for the results. Im really excited and hopeful that I will win. Eve if I dont win, I put in my best effort, and achieved a personal goal I put my mind too. I think having a mindset like this will give me a successful start on my future fashion career. However, if I do get picked as a finalist I hope you all vote for me !
