"Life at the Art Institute of Charlotte"

I started attending the Art Institute of Charlotte in 2005, and in three months, I will be graduating with a Bachelors degree in Fashion Marketing and Management. I've learned a lot about the fashion industry, but most importantly, life. I'm so proud of myself, because I've pushed myself to new heights, and achieved things that I never thought possible. I feel like I'm so full of knowledge, and ready to use all that I have learned in college to benefit any organization. Those that attend the Art Institute are are privileged, to be able to specifically study their chosen career path. I think of all the countless hours I spent in front of a computer, un-professional fashion shows, overly critical teachers, and so much more. College hasn't always been easy, but that makes walking across the stage on December 19th. that much sweeter.

"Michelle Obama: Rising Fashion Icon"

Michelle Obama is already popular because of her statuesque form, and her husband, 2008 Democratic nominee for President of the United States, Barack Obama, but she’s also gaining popularity for what she wears. In June of 2008, when she was a guest of hit talk show “The View,” she wore a knee length dress, with a black and white floral print from Black House White Market. Within a week, the store had reported that they had sold out of the dress nationwide. Michelle’s clothing has gained just as much popularity as her husband’s campaign.This is a true testament of how influential she is becoming on female voters across the country. Michelle has a great overall look. Her hair, make-up, and clothing are glamorous, yet still conservative enough for her to become future First Lady.
