I recently received some devastating news for something I really wanted. During finals mayhem, I went out of my way to get an interview and then received the sorry email. I’m not sure why I wasn’t a good candidate. I thought I had great credentials. When things like this happen, it always makes me question the decisions I have chosen.

For those of you who don’t know, I am not majoring in the fashion field, I am a Biology major. I always find it more difficult to find opportunities for what I want to do (styling) because of it. I have to build connections on my own that are far from my major. Some people question why I don’t just major in fashion but I went into college with an interest in the human body and science (plus it’s something I have always been good at). With a hint of the fashion bug in high school, it spurred into a full throttle passion in college and then into something I wanted to pursue. I still want my Biology major because it still interests me, but I want fashion as my career.

Even though I didn’t get the position I wanted, I thought about all the opportunities I have found myself this year. In my freshman year of college, I was shy and lacking the confidence to go out there. Then I promised myself that this year, sophomore year, would be my time. I found a great opportunity blogging, got more involved with the fashion scene at school, and even joined the planning committee for Fresh Traditions, a fashion show that helps emerging Hmong designers. I have also improved a great deal from when I started blogging. With the support of my boyfriend, sister, and friends, I have come this far.

I just have to keep my head up and keep being proactive. Things will all happen in good time. Good things always come to good people. From reading the Secret I have learned , if you want it enough you will receive what you want in the end.  Now we wait and keep our head up high.
