I have recently visited a few colleges in New York City. Until a few months ago I was dead set on being an "ACTOR" (said dramatically), however I came to the realization the only reason I wanted to be an "ACTOR" was because I wanted to be famous. Now the only reason this came to me was because after finishing a long and grueling struggle in the role of Ophelia in "Hamlet" I was let down. Though people have continuously told me for months, my performance made them cry there was no "rush" no enthusiasm left within me, so I moved on. My mother encouraged me to think about going into the fashion profession, she told me "You are never doing your homework, the only thing I ever see you doing is looking at fashion magazines, shopping or online shopping". Then it just hit me! Why hadn't I thought of it before! So I visited "FIT" Fashion Institute of Technology (http://www.fitnyc.edu/). This was the place, until now I was wandering aimlessly, sometimes crying to my parents asking them where would I go and what would I do?!? Their only comment was "don't worry you have all the time in the world to figure out what you want to do". Now, I think to myself that this is not true I still want to be relatively young when I start my "job" I don't want to be old and crippled, then my father reminded me he was an insurance agent until he was 30, when he met my mom and was inspired to be an Anesthesiologist. He reminded me that he graduated from med-school when he was 36, now he is the president of Anesthesia at the hospital. So what do I take from all this? Yes, I may still be an "ACTOR" later in life but for now I am interested in fashion, and that is what is giving me my "rush", and hey if I end up famous because of it, we'll chalk that up to fate.
