You could go to any university in thecountry with the grades you’ve got and you want to go to fashion school?" Tanya bowed herhead further over the piece of silk she was working on and continued to sew the small brightbeads onto the fine cloth with quiet determination. She knew her father was exasperatedwith her decision but it wasn’t going to affect her resolve in any way. He could question herover and over and insist on the ridiculousness of the idea but she was going to be a fashiondesigner no matter what. It was all she had ever wanted to do.Tanya thought back to when she had first picked up a needle and thread. Her grandmother,like many women of her generation, had made most of her own clothes and when Tanya wasvery small she had loved to watch her cutting the cloth and stitching it together withmeticulous skill. Bit by bit, under her grandmother’s careful instruction, she had learned thecraft herself. She had started with simple outfits for her dolls and had progressed to the pointwhere even her grandmother said she was much better than her at making clothes.Once she had mastered the basic skills Tanya had become adventurous and starteddesigning her own creations. She had a wild sense of colour and liked to make clothes thatstood out for the contrast in the colours, patterns and the different types of cloth that sheused. There was no doubting her creativity.Her art teacher at school had nothing but praise for her talent and encouraged her todevelop it further. But not everyone was quite as sympathetic to Tanya’s dream of becominga star in the world of fashion. Her brother Dmitri, for one, did not make any attempt to hidehis contempt for her obsession with fashion. As far as he was concerned, clothes were justsomething you threw on in the morning before going out into the outside world. As long asthey were clean and didn’t have holes in them that was all that mattered. He regarded anyonewho paid attention to fashions and trends as simply a victim of peer pressure and advertising.Dmitri was very fond of telling her that anyone with any sense or intelligence would puttheir energy into doing something that mattered in the world, like becoming a scientist. Hesounded just like her father.But she wouldn’t listen. Her mind was already made up. She had been offered a place atone of the most prestigious schools of Art and Design in the country and nothing woulddeter her from taking her place there. Contrary to what some people thought, she wasn’t afool and she knew the road to, fulfilling her dreams would be a long, hard one. She had aplan mapped outand she was going to follow it through.Fortunately, she did have support within the family. Her grandmother never failed to boastabout her talent to anyone who would listen, and her mother, although she didn’t make asong and danceabout it, was also proud of her.Tanya looked up from her work and gazed into her father’s troubled face. She smiled athim. “You know, dad, we’ve had this conversation countless times now," she said gently,"and the thing is, underneath it all you know I’ve made the right decision for my life. This iswhat I’m good at. So, let me ask you one thing. What would you rather I did with my life?Something that gives me a deep sense of satisfaction and fulfillment or something thatwould make me unhappy, perhaps for the rest of my life?” Her father’s face brightened andhe chuckled. "Well, one thing is for certain," he said, "no one could ever accuse you oflacking confidence in your own abilities, and that is definitely a good thing. You know Ionly want the best for you." She nodded. "I know you do and this is what’s best for me." Hepatted her on the shoulder and walked back to his chair to read the paper.
