vanessa's Story

My passion is creative arts and design. Everything about this makes me feel relaxed and better about myself. Creative arts is a way of expressing your thoughts and feelings. Personally I love to draw and paint. I have engaged in various activities involving art. It excited me to take on programs like these because it not only helps me learn how different my methods can be compared to other people, but it helps me learn about myself. It helps me learn how I adapt to new areas and it helps me grow in my interaction skills. I am most excited about extending my abilities as an artist and meeting new people that will later serve as connections into new opportunities. This program would not only give me the chance to travel but would also give me a chance to better my fashion design skills.

Life changing experience at Syracuse!

Thank you for such a great opportunity! I truly enjoyed this experience & could never have done it without your help. This summer I met the most amazing people & learned the value of a creative mind and passion. In this program we learned the basics of sewing and stitching. We also learned how to draw croquis and clothes along with them. This program taught me that fashion is not only about getting your garments done, but also combines a lot of other things. There are challenging stages that bring you to a successful design and clothing collection in the fashion industry. My knowledge has definitely expanded and my opinions on a major within creative arts has had a 360 degree turn. My interests definitely include creativity/design & this is what will drive me to the choosing the perfect college major.

Excited for my summer at Syracuse

When I think about Syracuse University I think about New York, I think about college and the opportunity to travel and be independent. I am excited about traveling and staying in the dorms and get the chance to be able to go in to a class where I learn what it is like to be in a college environment. I’ve never had the chance to travel because of the economic struggle in my family, but with this program I am given the chance to travel and follow my passion. I hope to further expand my knowledge in creative arts and fashion. This would be the experience of my life and would help me determine if New York is really the place I want to be in for college because for today it has to be my number one choice. I plan to make the best out of this experience.

Thank you

Thank you so much for your generosity! I really appreciate your kindness and the support you are providing me with. Without your help I could not have the chance to explore my passion for fashion and creative arts in the Intro to Fashion Design Program held at Syracuse University. Your donation will really help me become a more skilled artist as I explore the topics’ different fields. You’ve helped me out tremendously. Thank you.
