The pursuit of a new atmosphere!

My cousin, and Live4 member Sean Aikens, is aiming for higher ground in order to pursue the life goal he has set for himself. He wants to attend F.I.T. (Fashion Institute of Technology) in New York, but he currently attends Morgan State University. I believe that every now and then, we as individuals must take a "leap of faith" in order to complete a goal of some sort (So I've heard). So, my homie has decided to chase his dream.

If you were working at F.I.T. would you let him in based of off this essay? Let him know!!

Why FIT? Since I have decided that I will transfer to the Fashion Institute of Technology I have been continuously asked this question, not just by the kind folks who will be reading this essay but also by family members, friends and peers. As many times that I have been presented with this question, not once have I had a problem with providing an answer.
I believe life is about finding what your passion is, embracing it, and enjoying it. My passion is the concepts of art, expression and creativity. Fashion is just that, expressing who you are through art, the art of what you are wearing. You express and define who you are through what you wear and your organic style. The idea of creating art for others to use as avenues of daily expression is an endeavor I plan on dedicating my life to.
I chose to pursue a degree in Menswear at FIT because I feel that while I know what I want to do with my life, however I want to execute my plans correctly. I want to take the right steps towards my goals and attending FIT would be an avenue to obtain professional advice, insight, and knowledge in a field that has constantly been evolving over the years. Being that FIT has offers the only Menswear programs in the U.S. I feel that the school holds a certain prestige of sorts. I have also discovered in my research that the Menswear program at FIT has an incredible job placement rate. Also I love that fact that FIT is in a city that provides so much inspiration and culture, New York (not to mention being the fashion capital of the world).
Being that I have taken previous college level Business courses, I feel that pairing them with a degree in Menswear would better equip me with the skills I need to accomplish my goals. I would be able to create clothing at a professional level as well as use my background in business to help market myself as a designer, as knowing how to market oneself is just as important as being able to create a garment.
I am sure that this presentation of my feelings has impressed upon you my motives for wanting to attend FIT. FIT will surely provide me a vehicle to reaching my goals in life and with my drive and passion behind me I am sure something great will become of my attendance at FIT.

Good luck in the pursuit of a new atmosphere bro!
