INBORN DESIGNER - by Grace Tran

Everyone has an inborn talent.  An inborn talent is a talent that somebody is born with.  Well, my inborn talent is… DESIGNING!

         I don't mean to be stereotypical, but designers are better as girls or MOSTLY girls.  That's because… well, girls care about fashion at one point of their lives or another, and girls have the right sense of color.  But that's not the point.  Point is, designers have to know what colors go together, and an outfit that people will like.

         The week after Christmas, my aunt and uncle came to visit.  They brought presents for my cousins.  I was bored so I came up with an idea… a design-o-rama!  We can make dresses out of gift wrap!  So we spent the next three hours making outfits.  I made a dress for my cousin, because she wanted to be my "model". 

         It turned out to have a belt, one strap made with zebra duck tape, and other cool features.  My uncle was watching me as I worked and said, " You know Grace, you have a talent for designing clothes.  Ever thought of becoming a designer?"  That's when another idea speeded into my brain.  I CAN BECOME A DESIGNER!

         As a sixth grader, nowadays, I only care about finding something to wear.  It just seems important somehow.  So as a pre-designer, I'm not saying to start getting picky with your clothes, but just keep an eye out for colors.  Also, think about all the types of clothes that YOU liked, and try to make your own.  LET’S GET DESIGNING GREEN!

         However, I still have lots to learn.  Maybe I should get a partner, or…. WHAT DO YOU THINK?
