above title is something that i've just realized. though, of course, it should have been the top of my moral list for many many years. how absurd was it for me to live&love in denial before? dont worry, that is sooo last year. its 08 baby and im gonna live it upp:)
so why am i still up?since, ive wasted my time on microsoft office (and dict.com,of course) and the only person whos gonna appreciate it is the administration person in the school, i might as well post it up.Supporting Statement
To many who do not scrape beneath the surface, it is assumed that fashion as a concept is essentially about what is ‘hot or not’ on the runway or who is wearing what on the red carpet. To some, and I hope to include myself among them, fashion means a great deal more than that.
My own admittedly limited ‘scraping beneath the surface’ has led me to believe that there are many aspects to fashion theory and the industry as a whole that one must be familiar with to succeed in the fashion business. Therefore the main reason why I consider myself suitable for the course is that I am determined to learn about what is beyond what is easily observed- what it is that makes the industry work in the way it does and the practical lessons that would come with such an understanding. I don’t expect such an undertaking to be easy but I feel I can meet the challenge thanks to my keen interest in the subject matter, so even when the work is tough I will still essentially be immersing myself in something I am enjoying discovering.
Although I do not yet know enough to adequately describe what specific areas of the industry I might enjoy the most, I have a fundamental goal to gain a greater understanding of how the fashion industry works and how one might manage it. This course will be a pathway for me to get into the BA (Hons) Fashion management course which I hope to get into after completing my time at LCF.
I hope to be a successful entrepreneur one day. Through your college I hope to gain the best possible start to a path that will hopefully lead me to this via working in one of the leading fashion companies and eventually have a fashion business of my own.
In high school I particularly enjoyed taking economy and art as subjects. The main lesson taught in economy was to use available goods and resources efficiently and in art on the other hand, I have learnt how to appreciate the works of many people. I think these two subjects in particular have expanded my interest in the fashion business area. I hope to accomplish the understanding of customers’ needs which I will learn in the buying & merchandising aspect of the BA(hons) course. Also, another possibility is that I hope to be able to realise with regards to my home country Indonesia, is to be a part of rapid growth expansion in fashion industry. It is because I feel that by the introduction of modern management skills to the country which have many potential work skills, Indonesia will be able to grow and develop more than what they are achieving at the moment.
My parents have been in the fashion industry for many years now. They have now opened factory outlets in Indonesia, which I am hoping to continue when I finish my studies. Since young, our common conversation topics would be the different aspects of the business. During the time between now and when the course start in late September, they have allowed me to experience opening a very small business of my own; a small retail outlet which I will be managing. Hopefully this will also equip me with some good work experience before I step into the course.
so this will go with my application form. today was a hellday! ive realised that you really do need to know how to be independent when living in someone's else country. especially ldn, when people arent as friendly. so first i went to the school which was on princess st. and it was like my 3rd time stepping into the school, trying hard to get hold on someone who can explain a little bit more about the courses. luckily, this young front desk dude was extremely friendly and he explains that i have to take a foundation course; fashion access, in order to take like a BA(hons). then he asked me to fill in a form and go to like the admin office 2nd level and he also mentioned that i do it asap because the application deadline is today. then when i reached there, the guy was like "oh okay. youre an international student. i cant help you much with that, you need to go to another one of our campus" and handed me a map.
on the way to the other campus, i totally felt like breaking down and the weather was not helping either. it was extremely cold and windy and in my mind i thought"why cant anyone here help me? seriously, im only 17 and i have to do everything on my own!"
then i reached the other campus, and i rushed to the international office and guess what? i was late by 5 mins, it was closed. luckily, this guy came by and he wanted to go to the office too but it was closed.
me: we missed it by few mins:(
theguy: oh, actually im working here. come and follow me, we'll go to another office and i'll try to sort it out for you.
omg:) arent i lucky:) God is really thoughtful!
so anyway, he gave me a new application form and also said that there are no deadlines for international students. also, it said that they require a high school transcript, and i quickly asked "i did extremely poorly in my high school exam. will this affect the application process? is there anything I can do about it?" then he explained, not really. depends on how keen you are into getting the course and that is why you have to fill in the supportive statement part. something which is not that lengthy yet informative. so pray hard that i'll get into the foundation course. otherwise, ill just go to istitutomarangoni which doesnt really care about my marks, and i can take the three years course straight away.
i miss sleepovers:(
love ya babiesss
