This is me.

Hello,

I am Alana Barnett the 2011 Hixson Scholar from Jones County. I am majoring in Creative Design from the Apparel Merchandising and Design program here at Iowa State University. I came from a boy filled family. I am the only girl out of six kids and believe me did it teach me somethings. It taught me to dream big and that I can do anything I put my mind to! I have had the dream of becoming a designer since I was around the age of 13. I would sit around drawing wedding dresses for my friends for when they got married. Then I started designing more and more getting better each time. As I got older I started making dresses, one of the dresses I made was my own design. As I got into high school I was more committed to my decision for what I wanted to be and started researching schools to further my education. Finally I found Iowa State! It was the only college I applied to and I was accepted. From then on I started preparing myself to live my dream and move on with my life to become what I wanted to be. That is a little about me and that's who I am!
