I'm a big believer of achieving your dreams, and no matter your age you always have a chance to make those dreams come true.
The past year has been one that I will never forget, as September 2011 was the month I took my first step in achieving my dream. I enrolled into college to study Art and Design (Fashion), it was a new and different environment for me as all the girls in my class were just coming out of high school or under 19 years old apart from one lady that started sometime after.

I enrolled into college to study Art and Design (Fashion), it was a new and different environment for me as all the girls in my class were just coming out of high school or under 19 years old apart from one lady that started sometime after.
At first my goal was to keep my head down and get the work done in order to achieve the grades to pass, but as the weeks and months went by it became more than just keeping my head down and trying to focus (although I did that) I found myself becoming friends with a group of girls that sat at a table near me. Each girl had their own personality and was different in every way. They all had a different work ethic and mentality, to which now I see that we all want different things out of life. We may take the same classes but we all think in a different ways and look for different outcomes.
There were times when I found the need to help some of the girls in my class with things they didn't understand, as I wanted everyone to achieve the best that they could but at the same time I didn't want to fall behind with my work.
Each work Unit that I had to complete was all new to me, having completed High School in 2002 thing had changed big time...lol... I got frustrated and would sit and just look at my work wondering if this would give me a good grade?? Knowing that I had to be in my zone so that I could get my best pieces out. I never gave up; even though I wasn't good at art but the Fashion design was my goal and being able to draw was apart of what I wanted to do. The Art was a big part of creating a Fashion piece because you use it all as inspiration.

The year was coming to an end and I was working on my final major project which I had to design, make and wear at the end of year fashion show which doubled up as graduation.
The year went by so fast, but I can truly say that I really learnt what it takes to be a Fashion Designer, from designing to making the pattern and the producing of the garment. With each garment I made I learnt something new and I cant wait to start making for my own line.
Going to college was the first step towards my future and is one of my biggest achievements to date as I passed my Art and Design (Fashion) course with a *Distinction*. When I received my grade, I gave the biggest praise to my Lord, Saviour and Heavenly Father as I know that I would not have been able to have gotten through the year without Him. As much as I wish it was all me, it wasn't because I was given this talent by God for a reason and without His blessing I would not be here with the grades I achieved.

So all the Glory and praise goes to God for the first step of achievement and I look forward to working with You/ God on the next step.
It's funny that we always tell others that ''you can do, just go for it'' but when it comes to ourselves it's a whole different story. We have to learn how to encourage ourselves to achieve the goals that are waiting to move us up in life. Know there maybe some obstacles on the way, but there are ways of getting over them and learning from them.
So go for your Goal/Dreams and be a believer of yourself :)
