My Major Accomplishments

There is no other place that would make me work this hard at everything I do, but now I know I could do it. Before being an MEHS student, I relied in only my grades, but getting those good grades with such simplicity was bringing me nowhere. After hearing about Mt. Edgecumbe I was scared that I could not make it up there. After two years of being a student there, I understand that succeeding at Mt. Edgecumbe is no simple task, but it could be done by someone who truly give it everything they have. Although this would be one of he most streaneus accomplishments I had ever achieved, I know I that I could do it if given the

One of my most cherished thoughts is that all goals are in grasp if you can work hard enought and long enought you can achieve them. I also believe with dedication any person can reach what they dreamed about.

What's mine is yours. Having lived a year in a student hostel I understood this phrase was the best to describe my first year student life. We shared everything: all of bright spots, all of difficult moments, all of the books and all of the cakes. My roommates are my best friends now and I trust them as I would myself. I believe amazing adventures and close friendship are waiting for us too! Also I believe, my dear roommate, you’ll get at least one new hobby living with me. I promise I’ll share to you with my frenzy for mountains. Oh, that’s really amazing! I’m a participant of the university tourist all around team(sports tourism university team member) and every weekend we get to go to incredibly picturesque places of Zailiyskiy Alatau.

Our team practice everyday for 2 hours and our record was 23-1. We were the first team ever to win in our age division to ever win for St.Mary’s. We had a hard time in the beginning of the season. One of our best players injured her knee. She was running towards the loose ball and her knee twisted. She was out for the rest of the season. Looking back on it made me better because I learned how hard you to to practice or try to achieve your goal.

I was just sitting there, in a dark room, not knowing what to do. Consequently, I frequently felt like a failure. Made me petrified, frightened, terrified that I was not approaching to be able to escape, and that I’d just be a homeless man. Because I believed that I could never find happiness, nor ever have found passion in anything. This consequently made me begin to envision that I was going to become a failure. I have always had the belief that art and graphic design were the attributes that I was passionate about, only to turn out that it was not as effortless as I once thought. Me being an ignorant person, I did not take into consideration that it is an extremely competitive field to be in. I just didn’t have the knowledge about what to do at this point. However, little did I realize, the fad that I had the utmost passion for were right in my ears: music.

My design capabilities progressed as I continued my exploration of the power of words and images through the production of a series of handbound artist’s books. In the production process of generating written content and conceptualizing aesthetics designs that addressed both form and function, I found intersectionality in my written and visual art practices.

I have always been known as an athlete. My parents were both avid athletes in their youth, and throughout middle school I participated in every sport I could. Throughout high school, as line one signals in tennis and the starting striker on the soccer team sports seem to define me, however, there is more to me than running around on a field every day after school. Every Wednesday, I can be found in Yearbook club creating layouts, editing photos, and collaborating with my fellow editors. Not long after joining yearbook I discovered that I was able to express my creativity in a way sports had never let me. I had always dabbled in the arts, but yearbook was my first time committing to my creative side and allowing myself to innovate with design.

A college major is one of the most crucial and influential decisions a person will make in his or her lifetime. This important choice has the power to determine what a person will do for the rest of their life. Students across the country are challenged by this task each and every year because they are not able to find a path of study that is compatible with their ideal career and favorable interests. Traditional majors are known for providing broad educations and producing well-rounded students that are ready and able to work in various jobs. However, today it is challenging to break into the work force. Students with more specific studies are finding greater success in their job search after college. For this reason, individualized

studied various art mediums to explore creative talents. In my junior year, I decided to

Growing up, I was drawn to feminine things. My mother dressed me in skirts and sandals, and I enjoyed helping my father plant flowers in our garden. However, interior design caught my interest as little girl. I adored everything from

A natural-born illustrator that entertained others for years while growing up. Other children would request me to sign and date my doodles because they believed they would be of value one day. Some of them still have the black line coloring books and dot-to-dots books I created for them. Along with my quick and easy imagination others have always been surprised with how fast I can illustrate something. That seems to impress others as much as my natural ability to draw. My talent, education and experience have a vast array of mediums. My greatest hunger is that of illustration and my style varies from cartoon to representational. Absolutely, I was born to illustrate. My style is different as it should be for all illustrators and my portfolio

“I love music, and I listen to it constantly, and obsessively. I enjoy spending time with friends and equally spending time in my own company, I really enjoy traveling and exploring new places, exhibitions and current affairs. I love to watch films. I don't think you would find a designer who would deny that their work is informed by their interests. They go hand in

Although I am ultimately going down a path of science, I have spent the last twelve or so years honing my skills within the humanities. I started drawing when I was five and worked to improve my artistic talents since then. Every time I have seen a change in my artwork, I become proud of my evolution. I was proud of my stick figures, I was proud of my portraits with misshaped eyes and I am proud of my artwork now. I will be continuously proud of my growth as an artist. I am my favorite artist because I know the experience my creations, I know of the amount of time I spent while working on my children, and I know of the experiments and risks I took. The arts is a significant extracurricular activity for me because of my progression and development.

Art. To me is something undefinable, what I want my art to show you is a piece of myself and a piece of yourself. Something we can all relate to; a memory, a song, a poem, art should make you feel something. Art is a gift, a tool we can use to hide beauty in ordinary places and things. I want to broaden my understanding of design and the world that art is beyond my knowledge and experiences. Because my love for creating burns so bright and deep within me, I am determined to find a career path that will allow me to explore the world of design and art every day. A number of art forms are endless and this seems like a daunting task to find just one path that can express the enjoyment and involvement I want to have with art. Throughout my life I have been endlessly drawing, painting, sculpting and creating--often times I feel almost cursed with such talent to create because the ability seems endless. I have taken a number of art classes exploring my passions as a High School Student and created many different types of works including oil, acrylic, and watercolor paintings; etching, embossed, and screen printmaking; charcoal, graphite, and pastel drawings; Sculpting with ceramics and plaster as well as wheel pieces. I find that there is few mediums I have yet to experiment with. I have become accustomed to Acrylic paintings as I have recently started to create paintings and sell them to community members. I participated in a local art fair and it opened my eyes to what art

“Design is a funny word. Some people think design means how it looks. But of course, if you dig deeper, it's really how it works”—Steve Jobs. Many of us undergo some sort of creative adventure, whether it’s within ourselves or the world surrounding us. We take in different elements to form some sort of masterpiece that expresses whatever we’re feeling or what we want others to feel. Art, that’s what we call it. Or do we call it design? Which brings up the question, isn’t it both? Both designers and artists create visuals, but for entirely different reasons. There is a clear severance between the two creative worlds, the critical thinking, lack of self expression and formulated structure leads one to say that design is not art and art is not design.
