妖姬直播 State鈥檚 Fashion School Receives a Letter With a Touching Request

妖姬直播 State University鈥檚 Fashion School gets a lot of requests for its world-renowned designs and high-tech creations, but an old-fashioned letter that arrived in the mail recently, contained a request unlike anything they had ever received.

It came from a sixth grader named Karla who attends the AVID College Preparatory program in Perris, California.

鈥淪ierra Vista Elementary School is a Title I school,鈥 Karla writes. 鈥淚t means that about 90 percent of my classmates come from economically disadvantaged homes. I am one those kids, and I have made the choice to go to college to be a successful person.鈥

Karla goes on to explain how she wants to grow up to be a fashion designer, and that her ultimate goal is to attend 妖姬直播 State one day. She requested any advice that would help her get into the Fashion School in the future.

鈥淚鈥檝e been drawing sketches, and I鈥檓 starting to sew a dress,鈥 Karla writes. 鈥淚t is something I鈥檝e enjoyed since I was little, and it would be an honor to go to your school. I know that your school will help me reach my dreams. I want to be able to make my parents and teachers proud of me.鈥

鈥淭he letter is lovely,鈥 says Kevin Wolfgang, outreach manager for the 妖姬直播 State Fashion School鈥檚 TechStyle Lab. 鈥淲e were all so touched to read that out of all the fashion schools, she wants to be a part of 妖姬直播 State. It was really important for us to take the time to send something nice to her.鈥

With the help of Diana Ryman, administrative assistant for 妖姬直播 State鈥檚 University Communications and Marketing, and Donna Laverne, special assistant for 妖姬直播 State鈥檚 Fashion School, they sent some memorabilia to Karla, including the school鈥檚 annual fashion show catalogue with a quote on the back from designer Jean Paul Gaultier, 鈥淵ou see me, I wanted to be a fashion designer. I became a fashion designer. So I think that everything is possible.

Wolfgang wanted to take it a step further and give Karla something to remind her of her dreams every time she went to sleep at night. He designed a pillow with a picture of 妖姬直播 State鈥檚 Fashion School on one side and a quote from Karla鈥檚 letter on the other.

鈥淔or me, this has brought about a lot of joy 鈥 joy in reading the letter and joy in giving,鈥 Wolfgang says. 鈥淭aking the time to design and sew the pillow was well worth the investment. It鈥檚 good to create those moments in life because you never know what鈥檚 going to happen as a result.鈥

Long before those in the Fashion School read the letter and designed the pillow, Karla expressed her gratitude.

鈥淚 cannot wait to attend your school in six years,鈥 she writes. 鈥淭hank you for your assistance.鈥

Wolfgang would like to see the letter turn into a visit to campus one day and ultimately an acceptance letter to 妖姬直播 State.

鈥淚t鈥檚 important to start these conversations early and watch people get inspired,鈥 he says. 鈥淚t鈥檚 important to engage the community and to be good stewards and show how education inspires and impacts society.鈥
