I've always been creative since I was a little girl. My childhood was filled with arts，crafts （手工） and music， and every day was an exciting adventure of creation.
    Somewhere along the way， however， I lost touch with my creative self. At 21， I landed a job at a big insurance company out of my business degree. I would go to the office， sit at my desk and repeat the same work five days a week 9 to 5. The days were long and tedious. Working this way for one year was painful enough， let alone a lifetime. Before long I decided to make a change.
    One thing I had developed an interest in was sewing，so I took a sewing course at a community college. It was only a five-week course but it awakened my interest and got my confidence up.
    As I dreamt bigger， I began looking into college courses for Fashion Design and three months later I signed up for a part-time design course. I attended classes two nights a week.Although exhausting， it gave me energy， enthusiasm and happiness.
    As it became clearer that fashion was what I wanted to do full time， the reality of my day-to-day work at the insurance company became harder. I felt bored. No energy，no motivation and zero fulfilment（滿足感）.
    I knew I needed to make a bigger change. After struggling for quite a while，I made a difficult decision-leaving my job and studying my design course full time. Two years later I got my diploma.
    The last few years have been exciting because I've been following my heart to do what I love. Today I am living a creative life as the designer of my own fashion brand.
    Sometimes it's hard to make a change，but I'm so glad I set the wheels of change in motion with that very small first step because it has led me to where I am today.
