The basic facts that I have given in my general application are only the facts that have been written down and kept record of.

Hopefully, in this personal testimony of mine, I would like to explain some of the reasons why you should consider me as a student that is right for your school. I would first like to start off saying that your school is at the top of my list, as well as many…

It is important to be confident, not be consumed by the opinions of others and to value yourself, and this is what I explored in my project and the final garment. The self-assertive, defiant tone and pure confidence of the hook is what inspired and influence my theme: spiritual kinship. I find that my perception of the quoted hook relates well to an aspect of spiritual kinship as in order to love yourself and have this confidence you need to have some sort of spiritual kinship with yourself.…

Colors as well as the choice of clothing could be very useful in order to represent the feelings of different characters. In the case of Mama darker colors would represent her sadness and mourning.

Asking the question of how our clothes are made and who makes it is simple enough, but would we as a society ever have thought that the people that make them for us live in extremely poor conditions?

These stores are given too many donations that most of the time they aren’t able to sell the garments they receive. Imagine a neighborhood containing one hundred families. Suppose that each family had about…

school uniforms looks more towards the conformity of children than who they really are, and by limiting a child’s creativity through their clothing, could retard their creativity in general. Personally, after attending middle school some short three years ago, I have experienced the impact of school uniforms on who I am.
