“Does a fashion designer actually have to know a lot about, well, fashion?”. This is the million dollar question whose answer broke my unartistic and unimaginative 7 year old heart. When i was 7 years old, i was asked what i wanted to be when i grow up. Of course, i said fashion designer. What little girl doesn’t want to spend the rest of her life in glamour and mania? Little did i know, in order to perceive a career, you must have a passion and skill in that area. This moment of understanding the reality that my fashion designing dream would be nothing but a fantasy is exactly when that vision ended.

My knowledge of my culture has kept me interested in other cultures so i can learn about their values and beliefs. I enjoy meeting people from other cultures, it fascinates me. Being culturally diverse, i am used to adapting. I can go from taking part of my culture and following my nationalities morals and molding it to fit the society and community i am currently living in. I am also fluent in both arabic-egyptian and english. I believe being part of two different cultures has taught me to have a broad world view, which leads me to think “outside of the box.”

When i was 13 years old, i had knee surgery on both of my knees due to a growth condition i had that was harming my body structure.

This unfortunate event caused to to stay away from any sport or athletic activity. Coming into high school, i feared not being given the same opportunities of making new friends and forming a bond with a team in a sport. This fear of mine went away very quickly. I joined service club, best buddies, psychology club, and student senate. These clubs allowed me to form friendships with peers i would not have met otherwise, and take part of the community within my school. Of all clubs i took part in, Service club was important to me. In service club, i volunteered in a soup kitchen every other Wednesday from 4-7 pm. The purpose of volunteering was to give back to people who may have been going through tough times as well as give back to the community and make a positive difference. Volunteering allowed me to get involved with new things and develop technical, social, and academic skills that i couldn 't learn in a classroom environment. I believe that building relationships with people is crucial. Volunteering allowed me to build connections with new people as well as expand my knowledge. I also took the time during my spring break of 2015 to
