Blessing Ojimadu
I’m 20 and currently studying Criminology and Sociology at university, with the intention of, in the future, working with juveniles, in and out of prison. I also enjoy writing poems and stories, and I write for a few online blogs and for my university paper.
My SAP project is called 'Earn and Learn' and it is a forum which provides children between the ages of 15 and 18 with information about the different avenues they can take to a career of their choice. It involves a website and small fan-booklets.
My inspiration at the moment is Ms Anna Wintour, who is the editor-in-chief of American Vogue. I have only recently become interested in fashion, through researching the topic for the university paper. While undertaking this research I came across Ms Wintour and came to respect her and the work she does. She has played a major role in shaping global fashion for the last twenty years and has done so with great efficiency and talent.
