In what ways will you participate and commit to your education in order to be successful? Understandably, the most entrancing part of any movie is the ending. The “wow” factor that ties everything together; making it worth the interest. That’s the answer most of our society would likely give about what is worth the investment in seeing a production. On the other hand, there are those of us who marvel at what it takes being a part of those who made it into the ending credits. Not merely the vocal actors, but the teams whose desire was being part of something bigger. With an animation degree from the Art Institute of Portland, one could obtain the skills required as an animator and hone their abilities to work for a company like Disney.

The education I hope to receive will carve and mold me into the person I hope to become. Schooling has usually been a priority to me. For some time, schooling needed put off. I needed to make some personal changes. Growing and putting myself first has made me realize the error in that choice. I could handle a lot more than I ever let on. Others could see my potential, but I tend put myself in the way. An education will only further benefit me and my mark on society. During the time I was improving on myself, my family was there every step of the way. In fact, the most influential person that comes to mind would be my step dad. He never finished his art degree, and maybe if I can make it possible for myself he can see that he can do it too. Family has always had extremely high expectations for me, and I cannot very well let them down. They have helped me this far, and I know they will continue as the support I need to power
One of the proudest accomplishments of my life was earning my high school diploma, despite all the hard work that led me where I am today was well worth it. Many people would expect me to say I am coming to college to better myself as a person or to continue my education. The truth is I want to change a life in my community, make my parents proud of their daughter and start a tradition in my family.
Widened with amazement, my eyes watched as my fingers swirled the blobs of red and blue paint into a deep purple. The smell of tempera paint and wet wood-chips surrounded me that rainy day in the small playground of De Colores pre-school. I vividly remember feeling that astounded thrice more; first, when I roamed the aisles of Michael’s craft store for the first time, secondly, when I perfected my favorite shrimp dish, and lastly after my first psychology course. Though I have had countless positive and exciting experiences, I have also had some pretty impactful negative ones. Dropping out of high school was the biggest blessing in disguise of my life. It led to my enrollment in a concurrent enrollment program at a local community college that changed my life, through which I met some resilient people that I will always remember. Art therapy is my number one career choice and the Master of Arts in Art Therapy program at Notre Dame de Namur University
After my completion of the project, I re-examined my career and life goals. Before I discovered that Edutopia was my idea of paradise, I had never realized that education was so important to me. When I did, though, I decided to pursue a career in education.
As for Education, currently I have my Associates of Science in Nursing. Although I am proud of my cu...
Education has played a significant role in both my immediate and long term goals. Without an education I would not be able to reach my long term goal to become an Occupational Therapist. An education has given me the feeling of success and a lifetime of pride. Through my past struggles in college I have learned valuable key aptitudes needed, such as, dedication, attendance, and organization, in becoming a successful student. Through my achievements such as making Dean’s list, Chancellor’s list, and a Bachelor’s Degree in Health Studies I have learned I am motivated and capable of accomplishing my goals and
College education is of the utmost importance to me, especially when competing with people in my age group. A college education is also one of the most costly obligations that one must fulfill to gain success. In my academic career, I have gained many experiences that I may not have been able to experience had I not attended a post-secondary education. A college education has never been an option for me; it was always instilled in my brain as an adolescent as a top priority. In my youth I was certain of my goals and aspirations, the person that I wanted to become, and where I see myself in the future.
Every fear I had resolved itself and for one of the first times in my life I felt I was in the right place. Then the question came back, what are you going to do with this degree? I thought about teaching, and remembered how the moments I spent in the art room left a lifelong impact on my life. That was it, I believed my purpose in life was to teach youth about the powers of art and signed up for a semester full of teaching courses. Half way through the semester I was told by a professor, “the arts will be cut from public schools so don't waste your
but I have seen now that school is much more than that. Without my education, I would be doing nothing unless I saw myself working at a fast food restaurant my whole life. I don’t see my future doing that. School is my main focus right now, I have no distraction so I am sure I will accomplish all my goals that I set myself to do. I had to change the way I saw things and I’m sure I am going to be great in college as long as I push myself.
As a result, despite the lack of guidance I had throughout high school and college, I became immensely driven and determined. Education is the key to transcending my socioeconomic background and to a thriving future for myself, my family, and my
of my current career goals as of right now. My current goal is to become some type of mental
In life we all have that one dream we want to come true, for me it’s one day owning a bakery. I wish to open a bakery because I enjoy baking, it is the only thing that I have found that brings people together and makes them happy. When I get to the point of having my own bakery I know that I can use my skills and knowledge to make those around me smile, but first I am going to need to attain these skills from somewhere other than youtube videos and the internet.
The most important thing that I have learned in my life is the importance of education. Living in a world bursting with advantages and opportunities for those in education, I find it both a priority and privilege to share the gift of knowledge with the future of society. Even more, I find it an honor to be able to have the chance.
My education journey has been through some setbacks, but I have continued to push forward and conquered. I have felt that I have a fixed mind set and just am not capable of achieving some things. After learning the difference between growth and fixed mindset I have realized that everyone is capable of learning anything through hard work and dedication.
College is going to start my own life on a foot that is ready to leap because my career is going to take off right out of the gate. All-in-all I’m going to college for three main reasons. My immediate family is a reason because I want them to be proud of me for doing something right for once. My future family is also one because it’s a big part of my life that I want to be happy and always feel comfortable. Finally for my personal financial well-being, so I can be able to treat myself to all the luxuries I want for myself. Going back to line one, all of these things are a part of my future. Isn’t that what college is for after all, to prepare people for their own futures and what they bring? A university is not my future, it’s only the beginning of it.
My short term goal is to graduate from Academy of Art University as soon as possible. Afterwards I want to find a job in an established company so that I gain some experience. In my country, although animations has started been produced to entertain people, I do not think that the graphic, storyline, and other qualities meet the industry standard when compared internationally. So for my long term goal, I would want to build my own animation studio back in my country. I want to improve the overall quality so that animations in my country can go international.
