My dream has always been to work somewhere in an area between fashion and publishing. Two years before graduating from secondary school, I took a sewing and design course thinking that I would move on to a fashion design course. However, during that course I realised that I was not good enough in this area to compete with other creative personalities in the future, so I decided that it was not the right path for me. Before applying for university I told everyone that I would study journalism, because writing was, and still is, one of my favourite activities. But, to be absolutely honest, I said it, because I thought that fashion and me together was just a dream - I knew that no one, apart from myself, could imagine me in the fashion industry at all!

我的夢想

　　我的夢想一直是在時裝設(shè)計和出版界之間找尋一個工作。在我中學(xué)畢業(yè)的兩年前，我參加了一個縫紉和設(shè)計課程，原以為我能再繼續(xù)參加一個時裝設(shè)計的課程。然而，就在這個課程上，我意識到，將來在這個領(lǐng)域，我是無法和那些富于創(chuàng)新精神的精英們相媲美的。于是，我斷定到這條路走不通。在申請上大學(xué)之前，我和所有人都講，我想學(xué)新聞學(xué)，因為，寫作曾經(jīng)是，現(xiàn)在也是我喜歡的活動之一。但是，說實話，我之所以這樣說，是因為我以為從事時裝設(shè)計不過是一個夢想，我也知道，除了我之外，沒有人能想象出我會從事時裝設(shè)計的工作。
