Over the years I have not really thought about who I am as a person. Not until recently did I really start to think about the question "Who am I?". I did not grow up in a place where fashion and design were important to people. As a result, I always felt alone in some way until just recently. I just moved to Las Vegas a couple months ago for my first quarter of college. It is the first time I have had to deal with the real world and have many first-time experiences. With these situations I have faced I have tried to learn from them and grow as an individual. “Creativity has been pegged to conducive environments, perfect collaborators, personality traits, serendipity, and even spiritual muses” (http://www.psychologytoday.com/basics/creativity). Due to the fact that I am going to the Art Institute in Las Vegas, I am surrounded by creative people everyday. I am always seeing new trends and looks and I find them inspiring. “…pointing to inspiring people and allowing ourselves to be impressed is very important. It teaches us that great things are possible” (http://www.relaxfocussucceed.com/Articles/2003040001.htm). Being inspired by all the students around me has made me realize that there is nothing to be afraid of. Over the years, I have been a very shy person and I have not had the confidence to say what I am thinking. This is because I fear that if my ideas are different compared to other peoples then I am wrong, but after seeing how creative people can be I have realized that difference is good. People are never going to view something the same way. It is always going to be different. “The fashion world understands that creativity is a collaborative and community affair” (http://learcenter.org/pdf/RTSControlofCreativity.pdf). Since I am studying fashion, this realization has led me to try new looks. It is making me expand my ideas and outlook as a fashion professional and it will continue to grow as I experience more in my lifetime.
