A sample version
My chosen career is to be a fashion designer. This career is important to me because clothes are my life and I enjoy making people happy with my clothing. This career began as my hobby. When I was young, my mother bought a sewing machine, and I became interested in seeing her work. Soon, I asked her if she would show me how to sew, and I began making doll’s clothes, then I made a coat for my dog, and finally I began making clothes for myself. At first, I was not very good at it, but as you can see, I have gotten much better --- I made the clothes I am wearing today! Of course, there’s a lot more to being a fashion designer than just being able to use a sewing machine,so my short goal is to go to a school of design in Beijing.
There, I can learn about theory, colours, shapes, fabrics and different styles of design, and I will gain the skills to become successful as a designer. After that, I hope to work for a famous band so that I can further improve my skills and learn the business side of fashion design. My long term goal is to open up my own fashion studio. This will be difficult, and I may face some challenges, as many people who want to become fashion designers fail in their dreams. However, this is my passion and what I want to do more than anything else in the world, so I will work hard to achieve it.
Thank you.
