# Own Designs # Earnings
My confidence and strength during the course in WIFD was the inspiration I got from the teachers who are my role models. I was able to create my own designs after one month of joining the course. That is my most wonderful achievement in WIFD. Eventhough I’m a student now, I'm earning in my designing work and I'm completely satisfied for the fees I pay
