Fashion Merchandising Personal Statement
Ever since I was a little kid, I have always loved getting dressed up and being fashionable. Even now as a teenager, I enjoy experimenting with different makeup looks and hairstyles. I am currently working on getting my cosmetology license from Millstream before I graduate high school. I am enjoying cosmetology classes; however, I do not want it to be my main job. In the future, I would like to pursue a Fashion Merchandising and Product Development degree at Bowling Green State University. I hope to expand my knowledge in Fashion Merchandising with the goal of working in fashion or cosmetics. In addition, I would either take a minor in marketing or go to New York and take some classes at the Fashion Institute of Technology. I plan to work hard

    Why Focusing Too Narrowly In College Could Backfire Analysis

    After reading Peter Cappelli article “Why focusing too Narrowly in College Could Backfire” I started to think about my own educational goals and why I chose to be a hairstylist. When I graduated from high school I attend beauty college, at that time the beauty industry was booming. There was a salon on every corner. There was always walk- ins and new clients available for stylist. Now with the social media craze like YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram, the African American salon business has fallen because social media outlets. These outlets, teach ordinary people how to do their own hair, and caused stylist to lose clients. We also have the natural hair movement, that took clients that would normally come into the salon for hair weaves and relaxers, and are now wearing their hair in its natural state and don’t need the salon anymore. Another major down fall to African American salon industry was manufacturing companies like L’Oréal and Shea moisture that promotes salon quality products on YouTube for the naturalista. These were a few major changes that happen in…

    Mgt/230 Week 1

    One of the most important decisions of my life was choosing to go back to school. I was 30 years old, raising two kids at the time, and the last thing in the world I wanted to do was go back to school. I had previously attended cosmetology school and received a degree in its study. I had been working as a stylist for 5 years but it just was not enough. I needed to support my family and live comfortably and working under someone else’s authority could not fulfill my goals and dreams. One dream of mine is to one day own my own salon and become a successful business owner. I knew that a cosmetology degree could not teach me the skills needed to run a business and be successful. This is when I began thinking that I should go back to school for a business management degree. There was only one thing on my mind at this time, my age, I wondered if I could handle college at this point in my life.…

    As a first-generation Latina, I will be the first individual in my family to obtain a college degree. I am seeking a degree in fashion design, and I believe that I have everything favorable for becoming an expert fashion designer. Throughout my high school experience, I have realized that I am immensely adept at drawing and creating various kinds of design, ranging from clothing to ceramics. Without the rigorous training from AP classes, regular art classes, and the support and motivation of my family, I would not have been able to discover my potential and passion for art. I would never have envisioned what my hands were capable of creating. I am very enthusiastic to know what I want out of my life and my future career; I am focused, driven, and proud of my decisions.…

    Growing Up In Ethiopia

    Growing up in Ethiopia, a third world country where opportunities come few and far between, medicine, law, and engineering are all at the forefront of these limited opportunities and overly frequented options for college students. At an early age, I uncovered my love for helping others, but to my parents’ surprise my passion was for helping my girlfriends put outfits together or helping them shop for clothes, not helping an ill person regain their health in a white coat. As I began to mature, so did my taste and understanding of the fashion industry. After relocating to America, I learned that the industry is much more than raveling in the season’s latest designs or playing dress up. The industry requires a keen understanding of the various aspects of business. From an in depth knowledge of marketing necessary to efficiently publish magazines to the attention to detail and micro management required to produce the runways shows, or the macro management experience that’s a must in order to oversee a styling company. I was astonished and even more so motivated by the business empires that are household names across the world, including the numerous fashion companies, and intrigued like never before by what takes place behind the scenes to build them from the ground up. I soon fell into the expansive world of business head first when I took an introduction class to business as a freshman in high school, in addition to a quantitative literature class to provide me with the bases for understanding the math involved, as well a college level Introduction to Business course during my senior year at a nearby community college.…
