In the near future I plan on finishing my senior year of high school here at Ellington Academy and I plan on attending a community college of my choice here in Michigan taking classes for photography such as a filmmaking class and/or graphic communications as I do now at the Kent Career Technical Center, furthering my knowledge and experience of that field.
I intend on having art as my major in college. I specifically became interested in art because of an important event in my life when I was younger. A very close loved one I had used to love art and would draw whatever I could imagine for me in extreme detail in little time. This exposed me to my interest of art. Then, one day, this loved one passed away. I mourned this person’s death for a few years. About three years later I began thinking missing that person's artwork and I didn’t have any to remember them by. So I wanted to learn how to draw. I then began to self-teach myself. After a few years I began to grow deeper in the art field and

I’m still deciding on what college(s) I want to attend in the near future but i’m doing my best to make college life easier on myself. I’m planning ahead of time and preparing myself right now to make things easier on myself later on in my life later on such as: having a job, saving up money, obtaining early college credits, applying to and doing research on colleges, and trying to keep my grades up in high school.
In conclusion, It may have taken a while for me to choose a career path but I eventually chose to become a photographer, to travel the world and take pictures to keep memories of the good times and possibly even the bad ones to reflect back on. I have other careers that I chose to fall back on such as accounting, animation, interpreter, camera operator, etc. Although I would prefer to stay in the art
In fact, art has always been an inseparable part of my life. My journey with art started when I was still in Iran and my mother enlisted me in my first extracurricular art class. After moving to Beijing, the capital of China, I became fascinated with Chinese painting that is very different from western paintings in both mediums and techniques. Thus, I signed up for one-to-one classes for Chinese Gongbi and Shui-mo painting. When my journey brought me to the United States, I took advantage of the flexible high school curriculum that I previously did not have and enrolled in a variety of Art classes. I was able to make my own short animation, explore different mediums such as watercolor, acrylic, and clay, learn to develop in the dark room what I photographed with my film camera, and create works of art such as sculptures and paintings, all of which have been displayed at my schools galleries. After my virtual tour of Jewett Arts Center, I fancied of walking down the halls and be inspired by the great variety of artworks. The art center resonates the promise that I can further explore my artistic abilities and perhaps step out of my comfort zone and lead a new adventure with oil
The career i choose was a professional bass angler. It's a career i've been interested in for a while and i think it's what i would like to do. I love swimming and fishing and being out on the water so i thought it would be perfect. A professional bass angler travels the world fishing in tournaments to see who catches the biggest 5 fish. There are team tournaments and then there are solo, i would like to do both.
In article “Want to get into college? Learn to fail”(2012) Angel B. Perez is vice president and dean of admission and financial aid at pitzer college in Claremont california. He teaches in the college counseling certification program of the university of california los angeles. He argues that students applying to college are pressured by parents and educators to seem flawless on their application. The students believe the schools are looking for the perfect students. Perez says he spoke to a student in china during a trip and he asked her what she does for fun and she replied i thought i wasn’t supposed to tell you that. I feel that it wasn’t necessary to add this into his article because it should affect her chances of getting that
After I moved to the U.S. two years ago, my family and I have been through the hard situation of not having a good economic standing. After staying out of school, I enrolled in an adult continuing education program, since I was not admitted to high school. I found the support that I needed to improve my English language and to obtain my GED diploma. Subsequently, my time was dedicated for the entrance exams and admission process of UTRGV, which has been one of my biggest accomplishments. It is something great but concerning, for I am in need to work to pay for tuition and support my family.
If I were to conclude my education after finishing secondary school, there would not be many fruitful paths ahead of me. Without pursuing further education in post-secondary programs, life would be prolific with simplicity; there are those who advocate the concept of simplicity over challenge, but in a life abounding in simplicity, I see a life of tedium. By enrolling in post-secondary programs, I expose myself to novel challenges and opportunities. Furthermore, I have the freedom to explore my passions and satisfy my ambitions. In my case, I have a passion for biological sciences and knowledge, and a fervent ambition to gain as much relevant knowledge as possible. At a post-secondary institution, I am able to choose the degree that is
One day in 2011, I had an epiphany that I wanted to become the CEO of a hospital one day. The CEO of Rose Medical Center became aware of this and informed me that I could certainly have his job one day, but I must first go back to school and get my Master's degree. He is not the only person that has hounded me about going back to school. Many other managers, administrators and even family members have said the same. Clearly they see something in me that I had not quite yet see in myself. I think I am finally coming to the realization that if they think I can obtain a Master's degree, then I certainly possess the skills, knowledge and motivation to go back to school. It is time for me to shake up my content, routine life and take the step to bettering myself and fulfilling the commitment I made to myself on December 31,
As a high school senior I am looking forward to continuing my education this fall. A post-secondary education will help me achieve my future goal of becoming the best pediatric neurosurgeon I can be and save every life I can. At the age of fifteen I started my own business to help bring hope into the lives of families that are going through challenging times. I founded Every Little Stitch to create special keepsakes for orphans, children who have had traumatic injuries, foster children, ladies groups, churches, and even to be an encouragement to parents who have lost their child. I have personally walked through the halls of many hospitals where lives will never be the same. Nearly two years ago, my brother was involved in a freak accident
In 5 years I want to go to college and get my degree in engineering and maybe work on cars for a living or I am going to be a state cop and chase people down and catch them. It depends on the way I want to go. I am sure I will find a job that suits me fine. I can’t wait till I get to college and get my own car to drive around in but until 5 years are over looks like I’m sticking to my bike.
Before I can achieve a degree, I must commit to my studies. Education is the strongest foundation in any career. As it stands, I have taken interior design, architecture, and all levels of art including AP studio art, which I am currently enrolled in. My Advanced placement and honors classes have
College has been on the agenda for me for as long as I can remember. All of my memories of thinking of college are all happy. They are filled
Having grown up caring for my disabled Father from an early age and my Mother also working as a carer has always left an impression on myself. This is the reason I have always looked for career opportunities working closely with others in a capacity where I can help and care for their needs.
For some, college seems like a waste. They say it is “useless,” or a complete “waste of time.” But for me, that is not the case. College appeals to me for various reasons, including that it will prepare me for the real world. Attending college would be a huge honor for my family and myself, as I am a first generation student. My oldest sister did not graduate high school, and neither did my parents. They are so proud that my senior year of high school is coming to a close soon, and that I will be furthering my education. I also believe that going to college is crucial because there are things then that I will learn that I haven’t learned yet. I want to get the chance to meet new people. I want to be able to join new activities and get involved
I have many interests in visual arts, it is one of my favorite classes. It is one of my favorite classes because it allows me to be creative and use my imagination. The whole process of creating something then seeing it when you are finished is a really good feeling when you have put a lot of hard work and effort in it. Art class enables me to make what I want and express myself, it is a calming and relieves stress. Achievement’s I have had in art is that I have had my art work presented in art shows at school and other places like, our local ice cream store (dairy treat). I have also taken the max number of art classes that you can take, 3D, 2D, Art 8 and Art studio. To take art studio you have to have already taken 3 classes of art either
I would actually have to say my career is less of one that I picked out and more of one that has evolved. I have changed careers five times, due to no choice of my own but rather the economy. I had quit my job, and been a stay at home mom for about six years, and returning to work at Montessori School, where I could get free tuition in exchange for working a half day. It felt good, to see the kids excited about learning. I actually did not think much about the job being a career choice, as it would never pay the bills. I had been in printing, and did some freelance work from home, and just figured I would return down that career path. I had friend though who encouraged me to come to work with her, at Delta Airlines when our daughter stated school. For the next six weeks, I was in class and learning their computer ticketing systems. It was challenging and exciting for me, as I had not needed to study for many years. I enjoyed the feeling of accomplishment, and felt the need to do well and prove that I can learn it all, so that meant I actually had to study. Every week between test scores, and attendance there were a few less, but I was one that survived, and within two years I was promoted to Passenger Service Agent, coordinating the boarding of aircrafts at three gates. I had to opportunity to work with a lot of the new hires, as they came out of class and assisted them with the transition from classroom knowledge to the real world. I understood their
Growing up I taught myself how to draw by spending hours with my dad by my side plus a couple of printed out sheets of cartoon characters. I never thought that one day I would move forth and want/have art as a career goal. Attending an art college came into consideration when I eventually understood the meaning of art I realized how beautiful and astonishing art can be with a single brush, pen, or pencil also with a little creativity.
