This is a long read :))

During my interview for the School of Design and Arts Grant for Fashion Design in CSB, I was being lambasted and I gulped with every rebuttal I offered. =)) "WHY FASHION DESIGN?!!?!?!" (Because I want to be the next Ben Chan yun oh!), "I PERSONALLY THINK BENCH IS SHIT" (ahhh okay po) "YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR PORTFOLIO DOES NOT INTEREST ME!!!" (I understand where you are coming from ma'am but you only scanned it for 5 seconds), "I JUST COULDN'T GIVE TO YOU THE SDA GRANT!!!" (Well it's your loss not mine), "WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT FASHION!?!?!" (Fashion is an extension of who you are and it should really complement your personality) =)))) I could've have just died right there and then and chose to leave her in hysterics but I stuck it out with her every question and somehow I lived. =))))

I'm going to De La Salle- College of Saint Benilde and I'm taking up Bachelor of Arts Major in Fashion Design and Merchandising under scholarship. ;;) That makes all the difference no? :))))) If I wasn't granted the scholarship my only option was to go to UST and take up Adversting Arts which is not a bad choice to begin with. But I really worked hard in fulfilling my School of Design and Arts Grant requirements because getting this scholarship would prove to anyone that CSB recognizes my talent. \:D/ My course in UST is less risky for sure but life is all about taking chances and besides there is no guaranteed success after I graduate whichever school I decide to enroll in. :P

I know that a lot of the people think that Fashion Design is a course for girls and for gays. And I also used to think that because I didn't know any better. The thing is we can all live our lives trying to please other people by doing what they think we should be doing OR we can choose to do what we want and the hell what they think. :-bd The end goal for me here is to have my own clothing store that will become really successful and if that does not work then it's fine. =))))I I don't claim to live and breathe fashion. I don't pretend to know all the fashion jargons and every designer out there. =)))) IT REALLY IS A GAMBLE but what could go wrong when it is something that interests you? :>

Hi there! So I see that you were a scholar under the SDA grant of CSB and I'd really appreciate it if you could help me out :D (I was searching for CSB scholars on google and one of the results led me to you xD )
Okay, I'm a senior in high school applying for different colleges but my top choice is CSB. The tuition and other expenses, however, nearly killed me when I saw them. So, I want to acquire a scholarship! I looked over the grants that the college offers and I didn't really qualify in any of them save for the SDA grant. Now, I just want to guarantee that I pass it :(
I have to write an 750-word essay, submit a portfolio, and 2 letters of recommendation. Now, I want to ask what you had placed in your essay and portfolio. I really don't know how to start my essay or what to put in my portfolio x(
thanks for reading!
