Aspiring Designer Puts Her Dreams Online
Wevly Wilson, an aspiring designer, uses the Internet to raise funds for her education and illustrate the importance of following one's dream.
Minneapolis, MN (PRWEB via PR Web
Direct) May 11, 2005 -- Since the age of 11, Wevly Wilson has wanted to be a
shoe designer, and now, a couple of degrees and a career later, she is finally
poised to achieve her dream. Wilson is using a Web site not only to raise funds
for design school but also to inspire other people to follow their
hearts.
"At one point, I had to forego my fashion dreams to enter health
care, and while that was a great career, it was personally unfulfilling," says
Wilson. "Now I have been accepted into the Parsons School of Design in Fall 2005
and the London School of Fashion (Cordwainer’s) in the UK, where Jimmy Choo, the
famous shoe designer, studied."
When Wilson realized that her finances
would not allow her to pay for the cost of her one-year program – $45,000 – she
set to work raising the money in an innovative manner. Her web site (http://wevlysdream.websiteanimal.com/) is her means of raising
the funds by asking people to make nominal $5 online contributions.
As
proof of her sincerity, Wilson's Web site features screen grabs of her
acceptance letters from Parsons and Cordwainer's as well as photos of her design
work. An online diary tracks her progress towards her goal. The latest diary
entry reads: "I have decided to attend Parsons in New York City in the Fall. I
am also planning to attend summer school in Italy in July, if I can pull that
off."
But her Web site is much more than a method of financing her
education. Wilson believes and hopes that other people with unfulfilled
aspirations will take heart from her efforts and begin to pursue their own
dreams. "In today's world, there are always methods and ways to find out what
you want to do and then do it," says Wilson. "My Web site is an example of that,
and I hope it will inspire other people to achieve their own
goals."
