# Feel Alive # Passionate
I have been aiming for a career that makes me feel alive & trendy and it must be something that I would love to do. I discovered that I was always making clothes for myself for the past 8 years and that was my only hobby. I thought, why don't I make cloth for other people too? So I decided to look for a professional career building Fashion Designing course, to start my own venture and found Waves Institute. I came to know that WIFD provides a 1 year course with a reasonable fee comparatively and joining WIFD changed my life in many ways. I became more passionate and creative. I thank WIFD and teachers for making me an ambitious and strong person within me, that I have never known!
