My hero is Jason Wu, who is a dress designer. I think there must be lots of people who know him, because he is the guy whose designed dress was worn by Michelle Obama on Barbara Walters Special before the 2008 election.

Maybe there are a lot of people think that Jason Wu would be successful was because the reason that Michelle wore his designer dress. But actually, only few people know that he is a down to Earth and hard-working guy. When he was at his childhood, he has showed his gift on designing dresses. And he also said that he would like to be a famous dress designer in the future. During his efforts on designing these years, he finally got an award which called Fashion Group International's Rising Star insured his application in 2008. And in 2009, he became more famous and be affirmed by the mass population because his dressing creations was worn by Michelle Obama who is America’s president’s wife and they also were worn by the famous actress, Tang Wei. The time was his big transformation to change his original life, after these, he becomes more and more popular, and so do his designer dresses.

The reasons that I will choose him to be my hero are not only he is one of the stars in Taiwan, but also because my dream is becoming a building designer. I really envy him that he could make his dream which is also all of the designers’ dreams come true. And I really admire that he could pay lots of efforts on it. Hope someday, I could also become a famous and successful building designer.
