What are goals? and why do we need them? What is the purpose of even having a goal in your thoughts. Well, a goal is a person's ambition or effort; an aim or desired result. A destination of a journey. Everyone has a goal that will help them in the future, because what we are now will effect what we wanna be in the future, and what we become in the future will change people around you. Making them wanna step themselves up as well, because no matter how we all see it. We give an effect on people around us. Making them have a spark of realization or brilliance.
Cause what you are now is not what a person wants you to be, it's what you wanna be, and it's your choice on if you wanna stay that person or change. Cause life is only given to you once. You live everyday, but you die once. Everyone has a chance in life and everyone has a goal that will make themselves a better self. But it's up to you on if you wanna take that first step to your very own success.
My goals in life has change many times. Changed from small to big and big to small. Then there was moments in my life where I had no goal what so ever and thought that I will never have one for myself. But the goal I have for myself right now is to do great. It's not very detailed but it's something that I can reach for. Cause not everyone gets far, but we all get somewhere.

Natural Fibers
I have a bunch of notes about Natural fibers, so I'm gonna put down what notes I took, and tell you what I learned from it.
Natural fibers is the foundation of fabric. First it goes from fibers, then that goes into yarn, and then that goes up to fabric. Fiber looks like a small, hair-like substance that is called wool. It's warm and of course from a sheep. Then there's a part where lanolin comes in. They use lanolin in cosmetics, shampoo, and ointment.
Now, silk will be used later on in my fashion class. So silk is a protean fiber, also very expensive. But, I also learned that worms play a part in this. they give us the fiber we need. They give it by going into an egg, there the egg is covered with these hair-like stands. Then the sheep is also a player too, when we shave the sheep we brush it out.
You take the wool piece and brush it out gently, making sure it doesn't break, and then making a stop when the wool piece is long and smooth. But not ropy looking, that's what we don't want it looking like.
Then you take the wool piece and you spin it by taking it around your hand, but not too tight, and moving your hand in a motion that spins the wool. You want to do this until the long wool piece is tight twisted and ready to twine into each other. Once it's at that point, you take the two end and push them together, and at the bottom you'll see the long middle pieces twist together. After that you cut the two ugly end pieces and TADAA! you just made yourself a little piece of yarn, when I did it in the classroom it was so much fun, and such a big learning experience. But, also. All these are NATURAL FIBERS!

What is critical thinking?
What is critical thinking? based on what the dictionary says, it says the objective analysis and evaluation of an issue in order to form a judgment and in the fashion industry there's always gonna be a time where you have to critically think about something that might involve a upcoming project or a team work kind of thing.
Critical thinking is important and used at all times during the fashion industry and if you don't have that when doing something involved with team work or a single person project. You will fall behind and you won't be able to go any further with your team and partners.
Critical thinking can be used in a team project and it is used at all times. For example, for the mood boards we did at the beginning of this project had us all critical thinking and working together. Then after that when the mood boards were finished we had to go on a little field trip to savers to get items, tops, bottoms, and/or fabrics to get our garments ready and planned out. During every moment of the fashion industry you're always gonna use critically think.
