How has CTE positively impacted your high school experience?
I’ve met more people with interests like mine. Doing things that I am passionate about also makes my school day overall more enjoyable.
 
Why did you decide to take Fashion & Merchandising?
I decided to take this course because I was learning how to sew on my own and thought that this course would be a good way to expand on that knowledge.
 
Do you have a favorite memory, lesson, or class project?
In my favorite project, we were tasked to create any outfit we wanted without a pattern. This project has been a fun way to expand on my creativity and practice creating sewing patterns.
