‎"I think there is beauty in everything. What 'normal' people would perceive as ugly, I can usually see something of beauty in it" -Alexander McQueen

Last week I finally decided I wanted to do fashion school in New York. I was pretty excited to find out the cost was decent, but saddened when I found out I needed more to meet requirements. So I put applying on hold for now. I basically need a portfolio. In other words, I have to somewhat be able to draw, mind you, I can't even draw stick figures haha. I also need to be able to sew, and have a 3.0 GPA as well. So after 2 days of moping around, I decided not to feel sorry for myself and do something about it. I asked my grandmother to give me sewing lessons, I'm going to youtube videos on how to draw, and before I graduate this term, I'm going to take an elective drawing class to hopefully raise my GPA while getting drawing lessons. NEVER STOP CHASING YOUR DREAMS!

    if it makes you feel better, i cannot draw for the life of me either! and sewing is as easy as 1-2-3 im so sure that you will learn many techniques from your grammy and youtube in no time. good luck babe. and you took the words out of my mouth, never stop chasing your dreams!!
