A few week ago we had to write about why we want to be fashion journalist. Here what i wrote:

As a young child I was a huge superman fan! In my head I would dream that I was Lois Lane and I could call out ‘superman!’ If I was ever in trouble, I could fly above the city and be a groundbreaking journalist. Of course this was all make believe and not a reality, still it a strike a huge core in me. As I got older I reads the very classic books series ‘Sweet valley high’, in my dream I convinced myself I was the real life character ‘Elizabeth Wakefield’, Straight A student who was caring and determines – someone who wanted to be a writer as well. I could imagine all the exciting adventure I could go on and under-covered hidden plots and evil deeds.

I love Fashion, it a huge passion of mine. As a child I would draws wedding dress and play dressing up with my mum clothes.

Growing up I would read magazines I couldn’t help myself. Reading magazines such as Sugar and Smash Hits was a favourite pastime for me. It was in my late teenager years that I decided ‘I want to do that’, I wanted to be fashion writer. I will admit I wasn’t sure how I was going to accomplished this, until one day I found a blog online called ‘Catwalk-queen.net’ (now it catwalkqueen.tv) written by Gemma Cartwright. She was a student at the London College Of Fashion studying Fashion Journalist. Bingo! I found my open door and while looking on the college website I found an Access course which will enable you to go on further and higher. This sounded like the perfect opportunity for me, not long after I discovered UCA and a campus, which was just outside, where I live and it has fashion journalism. I can imagine myself sitting on the front row watching catwalk shows and creating my own piece, travelling and meeting people. One day I could be the next Anna Wintor.
