Yes, I consider myself successful because I have achieved many things I never believed I could. Being in the Cambridge program itself is an accomplishment.
Nemandi Galhena's Fashion Dream.
From a young age, Nemandie was always drawn to the world of fashion, though she never fully realized it. As a child, she would gather scraps of fabric from around the house to sew miniature outfits for her Barbie dolls and her little sister. Looking back, she laughs at how she unknowingly practiced the very craft she now dreams of mastering.
"It took me some time to realize, but designing and making clothes is something I always loved and will continue to explore," Nemandie shares with a determined smile. However, her path to becoming a world-renowned fashion designer has been anything but easy.
Balancing her rigorous schoolwork with her passion for fashion often leaves her exhausted. "Trying to multitask my school life with learning fashion is really tiring," she admits. With looming deadlines and endless assignments, finding time to sketch, sew, and refine her skills feels like a constant battle.
There are moments when doubt creeps in. "Sometimes I wonder if trying this hard will actually be worth it in the future. Whether I will actually make a mark in the fashion industry," she confesses. The uncertainty of success in such a competitive field sometimes shakes her confidence, making her question whether her hard work will pay off.
Yet, despite the fatigue and self-doubt, Nemandie refuses to give up. She continues to push herself, knowing that every sketch, every stitch, and every design brings her one step closer to her dream. "One thing I've learned is that passion and persistence are everything. Even when I feel unmotivated, I remind myself why I started in the first place. Fashion is more than just clothing to me—it’s my way of expressing creativity and making a statement."
With each passing day, Nemandie sharpens her skills, never losing sight of her goal. She dreams of seeing her designs on international runways, of creating fashion that tells a story, and of inspiring others to chase their dreams despite the challenges.
"Success doesn’t come overnight, but I know that if I keep going, one day I'll make my mark," she says confidently. And with that unwavering determination, there's no doubt that Nemandie is well on her way to becoming a name the fashion world will remember.
