Isryel

3/13/2016

 
“I’m a freshman now, but when I graduate, I’m planning to attend Parsons School of Design in New York. I’ve already submitted some of my work to them and they told me they're interested, so that’s where I’m going. I want to design clothes, purses, shoes, furniture, curtains, bed linens---anything and everything. I started drawing people and creating clothes for them when I was six years old. My grandmother taught me to sew, but I also made things that didn't require sewing: I took scraps and cut and tied the pieces together to make dresses. As I got older, I made clothes for myself, my little sisters, and for their Barbie dolls. When prom time comes, I’ll be making my own dress---something big, beautiful, and with bright colors. Right now, I’m working on four dresses to submit to Project Runway: Junior. It’s a show like American Idol, but for teenagers and focused on fashion. Contestants have to design and make whatever article of clothing they’re told to make. Then the models go down the runway, the judges vote, some contestants are sent home, and others are asked to stay for the next round.
 
“Art is my major interest and I’d like to have my own art school someday, but I play piano, violin, guitar, and flute too, so I plan to compose music on the side. I also want to be an actress and a producer. They say you can be anything you want, so I’m planning to do as much as I can. I wish I could have a hundred lifetimes!”
