I love fashions and I would love to design and make my own clothes. I don't know if I want to make clothes to sell, but I definitely want to create something that is of my complete creation.

Whether I will it will be self-taught or at a design school, I haven't decided yet.

My dad died of lung cancer when I was twelve years old. This sort of loss never goes away and I miss him everyday. Because I understand the sort of devastation that losing someone to cancer can cause, I want to offer someone the chance to prolong their life. I know that donating bone marrow is supposed to be unpleasant, but the tradeoff is amazing. My cousin Corey had leukemia, and receiving a bone marrow transplant made it possible for him to go into remission for five years. Sadly, the leukemia came back and he died about six years ago, but you can't put a price on five more years of life!
