Help! is it good?

<p>Hello
Consider your talents and strengths, academic and otherwise. What is one thing you do really well?"</p>

<p>this is the question in the application, but I dont know if they want a really short answer… look at what I wrote and tell me what you think, because I don’t write very well.</p>

<p>If I could say one thing I can do really well, I believe that I’m good in designing clothes. I would never know I’m good at it, if it wasn’t because of my mother’s designing and sewing center.
It started with my love for fashion and keeping up with trends but not to the extreme. Couple of years ago, my mom opened a beauty salon including a designing and sewing place, which helped a lot and led me to design two evening dresses for myself, and after a while I had an idea of making another dress of what’s left of the materials I already used before. Some of my friends and family are letting me design something for them to wear. Now, I’m designing a graduation gown for my class.<br>
I think designing clothes is considered as a type of art, because you have to be very creative, in addition, what you wear expresses your personality. So, when in my designs I have to put a touch that tells it was my idea!</p>

<p>thank you</p>

<p>Hey! You have a great idea, but I suggest that you don’t restate the topic in your first sentence. Try going with something that starts out with an image. Something like “I saw my mother’s fingers craftily sewing the clothes, preparing for another busy day at her designer store. I sat down and began to help - it was then I realized that designing was my passion, the one talent I was skilled at above anyone else…” Something like that. You don’t have to use that. Just a suggestion! :slight_smile: Try to engage the reader, it looks as though you’re listing “I did this” “I did that” and allowing that to serve as why you’re good at designing. Trust me, I had this problem too. Instead, try focusing on one specific thing that you did and show - not tell - how you demonstrated your talent at designing. If that makes any sense. Haha. :slight_smile: Hope this helps!!</p>

<p>Yes, you’ve helped a lot actually.
Thank you so much :)</p>
