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】我的夢想

我一直夢想著能找到一個結合時尚與出版的工作。中學畢業前兩年，我學習了縫紉設計課程，認為自己繼而能夠學習時尚設計。然而，期間，發現自己在該領域不夠優秀，不足以在未來與其他富有創造力的人競爭。因此，得出結論：這條道路不適合我。在申請大學之前，我告訴大家自己會選擇新聞專業，因為寫作一直都是我最喜歡的事情之一。但是，說實話，當時這樣說，是因為我認為時尚于我而言就是個夢想。我知道完全沒有人相信我會進入時尚這一行。因此，我決定去尋找一些課程，既與時尚相關、又涉及寫作。就在這時，我注意到了《時尚媒體與營銷》這門課程。
