Passion seems the ideal direction for you when forwards come so many paths leading to mysterious sides of life...
I've come back to Vietnam for nearly one and a half month, having nothing special to be noted. After the hilarious Tet holiday comes the financial matter as the first obstacle, which I'll have to come back to Singapore to settle. The school and major issues still seem the big and tough decisions for me until now. Common majors with numerous available prospective well-paid careers such as finance & banking, business administration are like the best choice but that things are definitely not my final objectives.
Back to basics, listening the voice of myself inside and I heard my designing passion took its voice. The aesthetic instinct always take a place in my mind. I found the joy of drawing fashion sketches, capturing the precious moments and viewpoints to create great photos. In the developing country like Vietnam, I live within the strong impact of money, financial pressure and dream of being wealthy. The Vietnam fashion industry is often described as unrealistic, impractical even though things have been changing now.
It's the obvious rule that the monetary prosperity creates the desire for aesthetic, religion and social needs. However, I believe that everybody's born with the destiny and mission to complete in life. Time passes by and the day-by-day maturity helped me to realise that destination of my life. I've drawn the first fashion sketch before I started high school, which tells me there's a special desire inside me....
I tried to hide the passion deep inside me, away from the fast-changing urban life style. I've waited for 3 years to get the opportunity of making my dream coming true. Again, what you see is what you got. Overseas studying, I took the first steps into the life. My parents' expectation and the real life situation are the invisible forces that keep my confidence in design careers far away. Besides the financial constraints, Australia is not the ideal place to study fashion, which is the main reason for this decision...
That's the thing my mum told me. At this age, I know I can and should make my own decision on my future direction in careers, life but my parents' treasure of knowledge is undeniable. I've kept my passion alive for almost 4 years, it's not that difficult to keep it for 3 more years. If I really love Fashion, one spot in Central Saint Martins College of Design or London Centre of Fahion Studies won't be the big deal. I will find a temporary job after graduation, which helps me to afford to the fashion studies.
3 years in Australia will challenge my passion for arts. I will keep drawing sketches, photography, doing everything I can to fulfill my dream and gain more confidence in the pathway I chose. However hard and tough that pathway is, it's the passion which keep me move forwards...
