Hanlon, Mia
My love for artistic pathways and ideas since a young age, allowed for my DEVOTION to transform into a career path for design. As a highschooler, I knew Interior Design would be my route, provoking me to make a DRIVEN effort towards success. As a freshman, continuing up until senior year, I took Interior Design-specific classes that were offered by my high school to prepare me for college. A mixture of Architecture classes, along with the others, granted me to have a better understanding and CLEVERNESS of the field before committing. While searching for the right college, I consulted teachers, friends, and family on their opinions of each possibility, COLLABORATING to determine the right fit for me. Decision-making can be tough whether in the design field or not, therefore maintaining OPEN-MINDED to new ideas was a trait I learned early-on. Entering my first year of college, as most students must learn, STABILITY is an imperative role to embrace. Living on my own in a new state required me to gain skills to maintain not only my academic obligations, but also learn how to manage my time. My passion about design has kept me motivated and WILLED me to succeed, and I gained the willpower to accomplish projects I once feared. Although the program is intensive and occasionally soul-crushing, it has taught me to embrace being HUMBLE in its most educational form through RESPONSIBILITY. Criticism is no longer intimidating, but rather constructive towards my progress as a student and the GENEROSITY life deals to me. I look forward to the rest of my schooling, approaching it as a genuine inquiry to my future in school, and eventually my career. 110
