What made me want to be a fashion designer? I often watch TV.The fashion shows on TV are fascinating.The tall，thin models wear beautiful clothes and walk beautifully on the stage.So I decided to be a designer and design beautiful clothes for people and make them look even better.
I have all kinds of dolls and I enjoy looking at their colorful clothes.I often change my dolls' clothes.I try to put one doll's clothes on another doll and see how it looks.Sometimes a skirt looks nice on one doll，but doesn't look so good on another.
I also like reading fashion magazines.They are quite expensive，but my parents say they will pay for them if I am really interested in reading them.They want me to learn as much as possible.
For me，I will try my best to make my dream come true.I believe that one day my parents will take pride in what I can do.
