When I was in 300 level, we had a course called GST 302—an entrepreneurship course. As part of the assessment, we were asked to write a presentation, which I did diligently.
However, just a day before the scheduled presentation, we were informed that we also needed to bring a sample of the product we were presenting. I was totally confused. What was I supposed to do at such short notice?
I reached out to one of my coursemates, and she told me not to stress and just to come with fabrics. 😃 But deep down, I wasn’t convinced. I believed we were expected to present a finished product, not just raw materials.
So, I ransacked my room and found a leftover fabric. I also had a navy blue gown I no longer wore, and that’s when an idea sparked, I decided to revamp it. I combined both materials, and that’s how the beautiful dress you're seeing was made.
I absolutely loved the outcome.
Once I was done sewing, I carefully packed the dress in my branded packaging nylon and sprayed a little perfume on it. I wondered if I was doing too much, but I felt confident about my effort.
On the day of the presentation, many people didn’t bother much 😅. But I stood out. From the moment my supervisor began unwrapping the dress, to catching the attention of others,
I felt so proud. I made a strong impression, and that day, I didn’t just present a dress, I gained a client from the staff and caught the attention of prospective ones.
Excellence will always speak for you.
Whatever your hand finds to do, give it your best it might open doors you never imagined.
