Hey Everyone, how does it feel to lose an hour? I am not too happy about this hour time difference of losing sleep, but I will live with that for warmer weather! Anyways, today I had off of work, and I decided to go through some old folders, boxes, bags, etc and just throw out things I didn't want anymore. As I was looking through all of my old stuff, I found a bunch of things that brought back many different memories. Looking at pictures especially, I found pictures of me and my brother growing up. I found pictures of me and my parents at my last birthday I had with all of us together, and a lot of pictures of my cousin who passed away from brain cancer at the age of 5 in 2007. The box that I was going through to find these pictures was my box of high school projects and accomplishments. You know how your parents save everything, report cards, school pictures, high honoral certificates, projects, etc. My senior year everyone in order to graduate had to do what our school came up with to be "The Senior Project", each senior had to pick something that changed the community for the better, or influenced/helped us with our future. I wanted mine not only to help my future, but help others in something that I really cared about helping. I wanted to support families going through a family member being sick, and unfortunate families that have to deal with the passing of a family member that had brain cancer. I want to be able to find a cure and make a difference to these people.
I chose to produce and create my own fashion show to raise money for brain cancer research in memory of my cousin. I wanted to help other people, but also gain knowledge in something I want to do when I got older. It was such a good experience to have, and I'll tell you why. I learned how to work with people, plan with a budget, advertise, create an event within a certain time deadline, and have it be a success. Of course there were ups and downs, but it was such a great feeling when the show was all said and done. Knowing that I produced this fashion show from the models, to the venue, to the music,etc, it made me feel so accomplished and happy. I was able to do something beneficial to myself and others while doing something I loved. What I am trying to get at is I keep doing things to gain knowledge, go through experiences, and make mistakes, because these are the times that make you who you are. I have always wanted to be in fashion, I continue to study fashion, work in the fashion world, blog, and produce fashion shows. I know in the end all of my hard work will pay of and lead me to where I am meant to be in the fabulous fashion industry.
