46.My Dream

My dream has always been to work somewhere in an area between fashion and publishing. Two years before graduating from secondary school, I took a sewing and design course thinking that I would move on to a fashion design course. However, during that course I realised that I was not good enough in this area to compete with other creative personalities in the future, so I decided that it was not the right path for me. Before applying for university I told everyone that I would study journalism, because writing was, and still is, one of my favourite activities. But, to be absolutely honest, I said it, because I thought that fashion and me together was just a dream - I knew that no one, apart from myself, could imagine me in the fashion industry at all! So I decided to look for some fashion-related courses that included writing. This is when I noticed the course “Fashion Media & Promotion”.

【答案】我的夢(mèng)想

我一直夢(mèng)想著能找到一個(gè)結(jié)合時(shí)尚與出版的工作。中學(xué)畢業(yè)前兩年，我學(xué)習(xí)了縫紉設(shè)計(jì)課程，認(rèn)為自己繼而能夠?qū)W習(xí)時(shí)尚設(shè)計(jì)。然而，期間，發(fā)現(xiàn)自己在該領(lǐng)域不夠優(yōu)秀，不足以在未來與其他富有創(chuàng)造力的人競(jìng)爭(zhēng)。因此，得出結(jié)論：這條道路不適合我。在申請(qǐng)大學(xué)之前，我告訴大家自己會(huì)選擇新聞專業(yè)，因?yàn)閷懽饕恢倍际俏易钕矚g的事情之一。但是，說實(shí)話，當(dāng)時(shí)這樣說，是因?yàn)槲艺J(rèn)為時(shí)尚于我而言就是個(gè)夢(mèng)想。我知道完全沒有人相信我會(huì)進(jìn)入時(shí)尚這一行。因此，我決定去尋找一些課程，既與時(shí)尚相關(guān)、又涉及寫作。就在這時(shí)，我注意到了《時(shí)尚媒體與營(yíng)銷》這門課程。
