The Journey To Design: Where is all started...up till now.

As I walked into my Interior Design class on the first day of school I was excited to be taking a creative class, one that I was taking purely for the fun of it. Little did I know that taking that Interior Design class my junior year of high school would change the course of my life.

Before my junior year I had decided I was going to be a teacher, but I had not decided on what kind of teacher. I felt happy choosing this, but not content. As my junior year progressed I fell in love with all aspects of interior design. I loved all the projects we did with color, drawing, and styles. Interior design captured my imagination and by taking the class God showed me what I was meant to pursue in life.

I have not picked a college to attend yet, but my choices within the state of Texas are few. I plan on majoring in Interior Design and will graduate with a Bachelors Degree. I have not decided on a minor but am considering business or an artistic minor that will help with my major. I am looking forward to college, to getting out on my own and finding my place in this world. I am excited about the activities that I will be able to be a part of while attending college. I am also more than ready to dive into the academic world of Interior Design. I cannot wait to be doing projects and designing and being surrounded by the artistic world.

I have so many dreams and ideas of what I want to do after college; I would not even know where to start. But as far as goals go, I do have a few. After I graduate college I hope and will need to find a job right out of college at a design firm. I have to be a junior designer for 2 years to get a certain amount of hours in the design field before I can take the I want to go into the hospitality or residential side of Interior Design, so I will begin my job hunt with firms, in the Dallas, Texas area, dealing with those two aspects of design.

All these plans, hopes, and dreams are great. They will help me get to where I am going in life. But when it comes down to it, I do not have any say in my life. My life is in God’s hands and what happens to me, what job I get, who and when I marry is all up to Him. I have put my life into his hands; I will follow His direction to show me where I am supposed to go. My real goal in life is to follow my Savior where He wants me to go.

This is a college application essay i had to write, it is outdated but gives a good glimpse of what i want to do with my life and how i decided on interior design.

Below are some pictures of the designs i have done in Interior Design 201 (the second year course), enjoy!
