My NeWeSt CrEaTiOn...

My district was holding a competition for fashion students all over the county.

My fashion class was challenged to enter one of the categories

 and to produce a product.

I took on the challenge.

I entered the competition under the category of

Create something new out of recycled materials.

I wanted to do something unique, something bold, something...

retro.

I thought for days about what I wanted to create and one day came across some floppy disks and binder rings...

(light bulb moment!)

FLOPPY DISKS and BINDER RINGS!

soon I had created a dress which focused on these two recycled materials.

Although this is not the original dress

( I ruined the original before I could show anyone...)

I love it and hope you will as well!

The Future Ahead...

“I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.”
― Marilyn Monroe

Sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together."

Getting rejected from BYU was very difficult for me... I honestly thought I had hit a dead end.

But as the weeks passed I started to ask myself something...

Did I really want to go to BYU or was it just to please my parents?

It dawned on me that I may of never wanted to attend BYU.
BYU had many alluring memories which had made me delusional.

BYU also would of provided me with what I wanted...
Peace, safety, and closure from challenges which I did not want to face.
On March 29, 2012 I was approached with some unexpected glorious news. I had been accepted into FIT, my dream school since freshmen year.

FIT stands for Fashion Institute of Technology.

It is ranked number one in the US for fashion,
and is one of the top five fashion schools in the world...

 I realized that although it may be tough there was only one university that could give me my dream job and that university was FIT.

 Marilyn Monroe was right...
My dream to attend BYU may have fell apart 

but I was greeted with something greater.
