Amaranta Forster - The New School _Parsons School of Design_

For as long as I can remember, art and design have been my language to understand the world, surroundings, and new paths. My mom thought to me that art is about communicating identity, culture, and empowerment. 

I wholeheartedly wish to transform the systems that shape representation in visual culture. My goal is to create inclusive imaginative worlds that celebrate individuality for all. Thanks to my school and the tools they helped me to build, I am taking a step towards my dream.

During my years at school, I learned that true growth happens both inside and outside the classroom. Challenging courses strengthened my discipline and curiosity, while experiences beyond academics shaped my character even more. Balancing school with my passion for tennis taught me resilience, commitment, and the value of consistency, reminding me that progress takes time and dedication.

Along the way, I discovered a strong interest in business and entrepreneurship, which motivated me to think creatively and lead new ideas. Although there were moments of uncertainty, especially when imagining my future and leaving home for university, those challenges helped me understand who I am and what inspires me. Looking back, school became the place where I built the mindset, confidence, and ambition to take the next steps in my journey.
