THANK YOU !
for this amazing opportunity to travel to India as an Aveda representative.
India is one of the most beautiful places in the world. I have dreamt of visiting India, and now I have the opportunity to make it reality! For that, I will be eternally grateful.
Aveda has awakened me to a new philosophy, a lifestyle, and to products that not only help showcase the beauty in people, but preserve the beauty of our natural resources that will carry me happily where ever my future may take me. I have always cherished the place we call home, planet earth, and now I have been educated and given the opportunity to work within the Aveda approach to Environmental Leadership and Philanthropy.
It is Aveda’s mission, their promise, their action, and their products that contribute to society as a whole and make the planet a better place in which to live. I believe that the future of the world is right now and what we do today effects not only tomorrow but the rest of forever.
I believe that my point of difference comes in my passion and in my dreams. At Aveda I have been given the creative freedom to express and explore myself to become the best human being possible. After ten months I have become more confident as a person, I have met many extraordinary people in the field, and have participated in as many of the shows as possible. Along with this, I have fallen in love with yoga! I had never experienced a full yoga session before Aveda; as often as possible I try to take advantage of the yoga program.
I know that if I am chosen to go to India I will bring with me an extraordinary amount of enthusiasm and passion. I am incredibly excited about the idea of working with Rudy Miles, Daniel Holzberger, and also getting more acquainted with the educators; the future professionals that I have met and the ones that I have not. However, the most exotic and appealing part of this trip is experiencing the different culture so diverse from the western world.
And the adventure of growth does not end there! When I am back at the Institute I will only be too excited to share how much I have learned on this once in a lifetime experience. I know that my personality combines the perfect ingredients of uniqueness and eagerness and I will only be all too enthusiastic and happy to learn from the future professionals with whom I will come in contact. I know that I have the willingness, work-ethic, and creativity required to give India the justice it deserves.
After I graduate from Aveda, I know my education will not be ending. I will be forever learning. However, I will also be applying to Rhode Island School of Design in hopes of attaining a fashion apparel degree and hopefully with the help and knowledge I have received from Aveda I will be accepted. This trip to India could also greatly help my chances of not only getting in to RISD, but just widening my entire fashion industry knowledge and opening my eyes to new and interesting ideas.
I honestly believe that because of my choice to attend Aveda Institute Denver I have set myself up for success and again, THANK YOU for that.
Sincerely excited,
Katrissa Rittenhouse

Psalm to Your SelfDear ones. Yes you. Even if no one has yet seen beneath your masksor called youby your true names:Precious, Wise-one, Heartsong, Light.Even if youhave forgottenthose deep waters inside you, making your eyes shine.. Now is the time. Awaken. Come home. No more dreary days of asphalt, metal, empty food, cardboard, plastic,No more of that hungry electronic frenzy:disconnection.Nights leaving you tangled in sheets of dull exhaustion. Begin anywherebut beginwith truth. You know:your soul. Listencarefully. Kindly. Until your soultrusts you. Believes you. Whispersits longing. Teaches you to singyour own song.The only song you truly need. Jude Rittenhouse
