Today I realized that this was my last Monday can you believe it? Time passed really fast!

This week we are focusing on our final projects. In my first class (fashion design) we have to create a clothing collection, but in order to do that we need to have an inspiration and an ideal customer. So, today we made a board representing our costumer.  I decided that my ideal customer was a woman who is always traveling. I pasted many related pictures like an airplane, a big city, the beach and a suitcase. Tomorrow I have to include an inspiration and I think that the perfect one would be Italy because it is one of my favorite countries, and, as you know, I may study there for a semester.

My final project for my AMC class is about creating an advertising campaign. My team and I chose the company Ray Ban because their sunglasses are so stylish and trendy.

These past two weeks, I have been thinking about my future because as you know I have just graduated from High School. At first I was confused in my career orientation; my options were fashion design and marketing. FIT has been a turning point in my decision and has helped me to find my perfect career: I want to work in marketing or something related with business.  I love fashion design and maybe later I will study that.

Living alone in a big city like New York is not easy, but  fortunately I have met many extraordinary people. Most importantly, I am getting to know myself better, which is essential in order to accomplishing my goals. Enjoy your last week!
