"true colors"

From the interview with my counselor I learned necessities for graduating. I was aware that you can just take
GE classes, get a degree or just a “certificate”. I see the best to do for myself would be a degree to transfer to a four
year. My counselor Ms. Sandoval informed me that UC’s don’t have any programs within my major. Which in my
opinion is another reason why I shouldn’t choose a UC. Showed me the process of all the classes I need for a
merchandising degree in fashion. Cal State Northridge and Long Beach are two of the schools the counselor
mentioned that have fashion programs available in merchandising. Also there’s a possibility of going somewhere
big like FIDM or dream even bigger and go to the London School of Fashion. To me it’s all very unrealistic since
I barely go far in school ever. School has never been one of my strong suits.

When it came to my interview with someone in the business it had its ups and downs. I’ve actually known this
business woman almost my whole life. I know that doing so well in the business meant a break in her personal life.
Barely enough time for herself. She didn’t get married till later in life and wasn’t able to have kids.
Even though recently this year she was able to foster and eventually adopt 2 kids, it could still take a toll on you.
An emotional toll. At this age not everyone knows what they want personally like marriage or children.
Even if you don’t know what you eventually want, you should still have some sort of plan involving your career
and personal life. Value yourself but also put value into your work and still find happiness is what I learned
from my interview.
