Who Am I?

Who am I? A self-absorbed homophile or a depressed lunatic? My character has been

questioned by some and labeled by many. Only the immature and juvenile have used my failures

as common leverage. Even though I’ve been nothing more than myself; others have enjoyed

choosing my personality, emotions, and situations. By them adding their own interpretation of

me it has given them sadly the thought of having immeasurable power over my personal life and

my personal situations. If you have chosen my every thought, word, and judgment; what could

possibly be left for me to determine? You know me perfectly better than I know myself. So, who

am I?

The above is an example of how stereotypes have controlled the impression of an

individual. However, as an individual, I refuse to be categorized by any stereotypes or

assumptions. I’m most certainly not what you’ve resembled me to be. I’ve actually become a

fine young man driven and determined. Words such as confidence and debonair portray me best.

I’m a fun and amusing person, but, I’m mostly quiet and reserved. With the exception of going

out with my friends, I personally love to drift away from the crowd having my own separate fun.

Adoring almost everything adolescent is the perfect description of me -- a simple, regular all

American teen. My interest in music, fashion and art only support this statement. I am slightly

different, yet very basic and original. I strongly feel that every individual have their own unique

qualities that make them who they are. One of my very own is the love for fashion.

“Fashion is about dreaming and making other people dream.” – Donatella Versace

“The difference between style and fashion is quality.” - Giorgio Armani

“Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street,

fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.” - Coco Chanel

These are fashion icons that have influenced individuals worldwide. All three left their

trademarks, inspiring designers to achieve greatness and express their craft as they did for

themselves. Their names will live on forever being known for their work ethic and endless love

for fashion. I’ve always loved fashion and through my constant change in career choice, my last

resort was fashion. It was only fair to remain true to myself and choose an occupation that can

actually be labeled as a career. Studying fashion at a 4 year college is only a jumpstart. I want

to make a name for myself. I want my name to live on forever!

In 10 years, I plan to be fully accomplished; in a loving relation with only one person, in

a beautiful house, owning millions of dollars. Also, happily working at the top of a fashion

company and experiencing life correctly. I won’t ever stop striving, working or designing until

I’m completely affluent in that field.
