I'm writing my letters too 2 very important people in my life. One is my mother and the second is my sorority sister Lexie Robinson.  I picked these two people because they are extremely different and have very different opinions on my fashion merchandising major.

         I picked my mother because she is the one person, beside myself, that I would want to make proud in my life.  Ever since I was younger and started realizing my accomplishments and goals, I wanted to make her proud because of everything she has done in her life. She has a masters and bachelor’s degree in chemistry and she currently works at Griffith Laboratories as one of their top food chemists. She has accomplished so much in her life and she continues to succeed. One of my main goals is to be as successful as her in my major when I grow up and hopefully graduate from Illinois State. I also want to be able to support my family just like she does with us. Although my father supports us too, I’m happy to say she’s a big contributor to our household. I don’t want a man to support me, I want to be just like my mom and be able to support myself and become an independent, successful woman. 

         The second person I picked was my sorority sister Lexie Robinson.  Lexie and I are very close and love spending time with eachother, even though she is a complete tomboy.  I'm into getting my nails done and going shopping, while she rather watch the bears game and eat pizza. Its so weird how were so different but I look up to her because of how she follows her morals so well.  Her opinion means a lot to me and I would love to prove to her that fashion merchandising is an amazing career for me and anyone else with the passion.
