Ok, so my name is Alexis and I m 13 years old. When I turn 18 I want to move to New York to persue my dream which is to become a model and also to become a fashion designer. My cousin recently told me that living in New York is really tough, especially since the people there are so rude. I m kind of having doubts about moving there when I turn 18. Is New York a good place to move to? And, also, where in NYC is a good place to live? I know I shouldnt be thinking about this at the age I am now, because I have a long ways ahead of me. But, I m just so excited! I can t wait until I turn 18!
The truth is, you are young, and a lot may happen between now and then.However, I moved to NYC when I was around the same age you are thinking about. I was 17, and I came here to go to college. I loved living here so much, I made it my home. I have now lived in NYC for over 30 years. I have married here and am raising my own family here. I think NYC is a perfectly wonderful place to live!Yes, New Yorkers can be brusque and hurried. People often think we are rude. But the truth is, New Yorkers can be really friendly when it counts. We just meet more strangers here than people do in other places. We cannot acknowledge them all, every minute of the day. We d lose our minds!But most people here are perfectly nice, once you get to know them. It does take a certain kind of person to live here. Big cities are not for everyone. The only way to know if you will really like it here is to come. After a while, you ll know if you belong here or now. But for now, finish high school and enjoy being a kid. You ll see when you ARE 18 what you really want to do. So much can change between now and later.
go to college for fashion and design first- Theres some in new York!The Art Institute in New York City- http://www.artinstitutes.edu/newyork/Berkeley College Of New York City- http://www.berkeleycollege.edu/Fashion Institute Of Technology- http://www.fitnyc.edu/Parsons The New School for Design- http://www.parsons.newschool.edu/While you go to school, you can still pursue your dream of modeling to possibly pay for school and establish connections so you can get a job designing after school is over. The fact is going to college is much safer due to the fact that you can live in a dorm on campus for four years! Remember to well in high school and dont give up on your dreams!
NYC is statistically the safest big city in America:http://www.nypost.com/seven/06032009/new��There aren t statistics to show that people aren t rude, but really they aren t. There is a fast pace to NYC life, which creates a directness and brusqueness that people form other places sometimes need to adjust to. Every year thousands of 18 year olds move to New York to attend college. If it s what you want to do when the time comes, there s no reason why you should have doubts. And if you re interested in modeling and fashion design, there s no better city in which to get started.
When you are 18? Things get more expensive and tougher. Get into Columbia and model at same time. Nowadays? Brains are important for Fashion companies .
i think you need to think long and hard about moving to new york not a place for a young lady at 18.
It is safe as long as you be careful and do what your suppose to do and not do anything stupid!!!
nyc is safe fo0l.thanks to michael bloomberg and barrack obama!
