# Dream # Challenges
I am Arifa Jemna, I had been searching for a course which would help me to reach my dream. I came across this institution and I jumped in. The syllabus and the mode of teaching caught my eye. I am happy that I have successfully completed my course during this pandemic which caused several hurdles on the way.

# Best Decision # Approachable
I'm extremely happy to be a part of WIFD and I believe that it was one of my best decisions. Their faculty were amazing. They are very approachable and available to answer any questions at any time. They care about how the students are doing within the course and whether we understand, rather than just giving out information and letting the students absorb it however they want. I must say this is one of the top institutes for Fashion Designing.

# Inspiration # Experience
I really enjoyed this course. It opened my thoughts and provided lots of new inspirations. I always wanted to learn about fashion and what goes into garment making. It was great to hear from so many different teachers and their experiences. It shows, how people view what you wear and what message we send to others. Fashion can be bold, can be subtle but to make it who we are as a human being is truly liberating. I want to thank WIFD and all my well experienced teachers for making me strong and bold. I will definitely recommend WIFD to everyone who is serious about their career.
