Please help me ACHIEVE my Dream for the FIRST time!!

About me:

My name is Narae and I'm just a girl born in a Christian, Korean family. My parents and missionaries and they have given up their other "worldly" dreams (architect/painter, nurse) to preach the Gospel in Thailand and serve Thai people. Because my parents had a mission in Pattani (southern part of Thailand, near Malaysia) in 2000 - and it was dangerous there (random bombings here and there) - they sent me to Chiang Mai where my brother was studying. Basically I was "separated" from my parents since I was seven.

Short story of my dream

I've been interested in fashion since I was seven years old, after my mom and I watched fashion shows on TV. After watching the fashion runway for a while, I started to design few sets myself on a piece of paper (had "idea-rushes"), when I was only seven. However, growing in a very strict family kind of limited my growth. My parents are both Korean and are missionaries in Thailand since 1997. Since my parents are missionaries, they lived off of sponsors and donations from churches, our family wasn't really "supposed" to spend money for personal things that much (especially shopping clothes, going to after-school academies, etc). And so whenever my dreams were something "artsy" like a cartoonist, dancer, patissier, and fashion designer, they were kind of crushed. I was told to become a business-woman, so that I could just support them later. (I understand that) Many Asian parents crush some of their children's dream and independence. However, this year, I am doing two part-time jobs and also a fundraiser to make my dream come true. My boyfriend's mother is a fashion designer, but she is very busy these days, PLUS I wanted intensive courses before I go to work in Australia.

This time, with your help, I would actually be able to leave the nest and show my parents that I'm okay.

I would be able to learn the following things at Alliance Francaise Bangkok.
