# Life Changing # Build Confidence
Words will never be adequate for describing the experience at WIFD. Choosing to lead a life doing what I love was life changing but the institute made it easier. Learning and growing through various folds of lesson and activity have pushed and tested my creativity. The journey with the institute helped me to discover myself, what I could be and want to be. Skills were taught in the classroom, but I could build my confidence to believe in myself. My loved ones too could notice the person I was becoming. The relationships made will forever be a treasure I refuse to bury. Learning and creating has never been more fun and fulfilling. I want to thank all my well experienced teachers and I hope many more can experience what I found in WIFD.

# Proud # Immense knowledge
It has been almost 8 years, since I pursued Fashion Designing Course from Waves Institute of Fashion Designing. Before joining, I did not even know the basics of Fashion Designing. I had only a vague idea that any common person would have until I joined there. Then I learned from the teachers what fashion and its scope are, what its possibilities are and so on. Later, I realized that it is an entirely different world. I have no words to describe the immense knowledge that all the teachers have given us about fashion in a year. If I have doubts about fashion, I refer to the notes given by them. For example, if I face any issues with the sewing machine, I refer to the notes given by Ma'm. I have no words to describe how much knowledge we gained during that one year of study about different dresses, fabrics and costumes of other states. When people ask me, where I did my course from, I feel very happy to mention the name of Waves Institute. I rarely visit Kozhikode, but whenever I pass in front of the institute, I feel very proud to be a part of WIFD.
