I am very interested in fashion management under marketing. The reason why I hope to study this major is that it is promising to study fashion management. The advent of the digital age makes the rise of online shopping, the speed of commodity circulation, and the expansion of publicity channels. Under such development, a large number of brands have emerged, and fashion is no longer something beyond the reach of ordinary people. The success of a brand is closely related to its marketing. By studying this major, I can understand the market, consumer demand and marketing communication, formulate strategies according to the market, and maximize brand profits. On the other hand, I am also full of expectations for the accumulation of aesthetic cultivation in the learning process, so that I can predict the trend and keep up with the rhythm of The Times. The most memorable experience in life should be the experience of entering junior high school from primary school. Due to the admission problem, I was one month behind the others when I was supposed to attend junior high school. Twelve years old is the age of fear and curiosity for the future at the same time, children in childhood often yearn for growth and independence, and later than others to enter the traditional exam-oriented education, which made me very worried and worried. The new learning environment, the learning atmosphere is not easy and pleasant at all, and the academic knowledge with certain difficulty is learned one step later. At the age of self-awareness, conflicts with parents also appear. At that time, in order to keep up with the learning rhythm of the class, I often stayed up late to read the textbooks repeatedly and try to solve the problems to make myself progress. At the same time, my parents often quarreled and could not agree with their views. Under the long-term mental strain, I felt increasingly tired and difficult to concentrate in class. I also experienced the psychology of giving up and the struggle of not being willing to concede defeat. Every mistake in the examination room was my nightmare. When I was a teenager, I could not face difficulties. The difficulties in communicating with my relatives and studying made me feel very painful. But such a bad situation did not last for a long time, the heart has been struggling, but has not given up chasing the footsteps of others, reciting texts day and night, reviewing knowledge, I kept up with everyone's learning rhythm, and slowly feel like a fish in water, performance has made progress, began to explore the connection and export of communication between relatives. Gradually, I was no longer afraid of the weekly exam, and my feelings for my parents were no longer full of contradictions and struggles. Such an ordinary experience has made me look back often when I grew up, and the mental journey of that period of time has been used to encourage myself when I encounter difficulties. Difficulties are common, and the problems in life that previously seemed insurmountable are not insurmountable gaps. Respect for parents, respect for parents' fate, say yes to their fate, return everything that belongs to parents' emotions, responsibilities, experiences, marriage, etc. to parents, which is also humble to fate, so that you can free your hands, accept and live your life well.

6.文章修订
I am passionate about pursuing a major in fashion management under marketing. This choice stems from the promising nature of studying fashion management in today's digital age, which has led to the rise of online shopping, faster commodity circulation, and expanded publicity channels. As a result, numerous brands have emerged, making fashion more accessible to ordinary people. The success of a brand is closely related to its marketing strategies. By studying this major, I can gain insights into market trends, consumer demands, and marketing communication while formulating strategies that maximize brand profits. Additionally, I look forward to enhancing my aesthetic sense during the learning process to predict trends and stay in sync with the times.
The most memorable experience where I had to adapt to a new environment was when I transitioned from primary school to junior high school. Due to an admission issue, I joined my junior high school one month later than my peers. At twelve years old, children often yearn for growth and independence while simultaneously feeling fearful and curious about their future. Entering traditional exam-oriented education later than others made me anxious and concerned.
The new learning environment was far from easygoing or pleasant; academic knowledge with certain difficulty levels had to be learned one step at a time. At this self-aware age, conflicts with my parents also arose frequently. To catch up with my classmates' learning pace, I often stayed up late reading textbooks repeatedly and solving problems for self-improvement. Meanwhile, my parents quarreled regularly due to differing opinions on various matters.
Under long-term mental strain, I found it increasingly challenging to concentrate in class and experienced feelings of giving up mixed with an unwillingness to admit defeat. Every mistake in the examination room haunted me like a nightmare. As a teenager unable to face difficulties head-on, communication issues with relatives and academic struggles caused me immense pain.
However, such unfavorable circumstances did not persist indefinitely; although struggling internally, I never gave up on catching up with my peers. Day and night, I recited texts and reviewed knowledge until I eventually kept pace with everyone's learning rhythm. Slowly, I began to feel at ease in the new environment, witnessing progress in my performance and exploring ways to communicate effectively with relatives.
Gradually, my fear of weekly exams dissipated, and my relationship with my parents no longer revolved around contradictions and struggles. This seemingly ordinary experience has often served as a source of encouragement when facing difficulties later in life. Challenges are inevitable; previously insurmountable problems are not impassable barriers. Respecting our parents' fate and returning their emotions, responsibilities, experiences, and marriages to them is a humble approach to life that allows us to accept our destiny and live well.
This experience of adapting to a new environment during my transition from primary school to junior high school taught me the importance of understanding different perspectives and staying up-to-date with current trends. These valuable lessons have influenced my decision to choose the major of fashion management under marketing, where I can apply these skills in a dynamic industry.
