I have always been influenced by movies, I just never realized until recently. I neglected many of my responsibilities because I would get distracted watching movies. My mom always told me how I would try to change myself into a character from a movie. She kept mentioning how I loved Tarzan, the disney movie, and how I like to swing across monkey bars to be like him. I am fascinated on how they were made. I always notice within high school movies and real-life that students struggle to decide who they want to be and major in. The pressure got to me and I tried to rush things, trying to figure out what I wanted to be so I did research and I tried out multiple assets for each career. But then I learned that I was looking to hard and that I should …show more content…
During my sophomore year, I noticed that I was always interested in animation movies because I would always watch the films, behind-the-scenes and memorize most lines. Until, I was self-aware of my interest in movies, everything became more clear to me, especially what I wanted to study in college. I joined Computer Animation class in my junior year, and I absolutely loved it. Quite frankly, I was also very good at it too; I received an A for all my projects and tests, got good grades in the class, not because it's easy but was rather that I was so interested on the content, I was always attracted to it and didn’t complain about the work. I learn a lot in this class, not only software skills but also learned about myself. What I learn is that loving movies is not the same as making them. Fortunately, I was able to tell the difference and can say that I love them both including the challenges included when modeling objects. I learned how to deal with problems and was able to apply the strategy of stepping back, rethink my steps, or give myself a break. I have been applying this technique to other problems I face such as math problems or brainstorming for projects. I liked this class so much that I took again this year and we focus more on modeling in MAYA where I faced
Everyone at one point has to make a decision on what they want to be when they grow up. For me, that decision came rather unexpectedly and was a result of a new found interest due to self-discovery. It all began when I was around the age of 8 and I watched a documentary on aircraft. It documented all about planes, how they work and the science behind them. I was immediately captivated and gaining all that information as a young child really hit the spot in terms of a new found passion and interest that I could see myself later using. This passion stuck with me ever since as I have spent tons of spare time studying different types of aircraft and collecting model planes. It ultimately helped me with my answer to the question of what I wanted to be when I grew up as being an aeronautical engineer. It is not a career most would pursue, but it shows how self-discovery impacted me at a very young age and the impact is so log lasting that it has influenced most of the decision I make now in terms of courses I take at school and the extracurricular activities I am a part of. Without self-discovery, I was able to gain an understanding of where my interests lay, the abilities I have to acquire complex information and the feelings I had towards my new found interest and
When people are younger everyone always ask what do you want to be when you are older? Of course when it is children everyone is filled with wonder about their answer whether it’s a model, astronaut, race car driver, etc. Now that I’m older it’s expected for me to know exactly what to do with my life and how to do it. I realized very soon that I sometimes can be an indecisive person when it comes to life-long decisions. This being a huge decision in one’s life you could only imagine how many times I’ve changed my idea on what to go to school for. Although, changing my mind become a norm, I eventually decided a degree in business/marketing is the right path for me. What are my career and educational goals, what will my job would be like, and
Waving to my teammates as I walked out of the tennis courts, the reminiscence of a smile appeared on my face after winning a close match. A freshman teammate joined me and I heard her take a deep breath as soon as we were out of others’ earshot, muttering something nervously. “I’m sorry, what was that?” I asked a little too loudly, the excitement still buzzing. She mustered courage and made sure to speak clearly this time: “I’m being bullied, and I feel so trapped that I only see self-harming as my way out.”
To put it simply, there is nothing more I would rather do than influence how people see good and the bad in our world, and to me there is only one medium for that, film.
In my life, I had not had the chance to be a part of something that influenced me much, until I joined football my freshman year in high school. Joining football was perhaps the most devoted and wisest thing that I did because shortly after joining I began to see changes for the better, and from then I saw the person that I wanted to be in the future. In other words, it shaped the person that I am today and will be for the rest of my life. Not only did the sport influence me but it also equipped me with a new mindset that affects me today in my decision making skills, time management and many other beneficial life virtues. I believe that these virtues will bring me success in the nearest future because I feel confident about myself and I feel more in control in my life through my actions, all thanks to simply joining what seemed to be a “regular” extracurricular.
Intro Deciding what you want to study during your college career can be a difficult and tedious task. This is due to fact that many young adults coming out of high school are unsure of what they want to do or what path to take career wise. It is also tedious because this requires that these individuals have to constantly try and explore new avenues so that they can find their passion in life. The path I chose to take when coming out of high school was entering the business school at Howard University.
Raised in a small town of 750 people, where high school sports meant everything, sport has played a tremendous role in my life. Basketballs and footballs replaced stuffed animals in cribs, and dribbling a basketball came before learning to ride a bike. I started playing basketball in the second grade, and I hated it. We always played in the division above us and we hardly ever won a game, but after watching Coach Summitt and the Tennessee Lady Volunteers win back to back National Championships, the same years my high school girls basketball team won back to back State Championships, I fell in love with the game. In fact, sport is what led me to the University of Tennessee; I admired Pat Summitt, not only because of the number of wins and National

I thought long and hard about what I wanted to do with my life after high school. I sat at home, on the computer, searching for careers and colleges majors online, night after night. I’d ask my parents, “What should I do with my life?” They would repeatedly give me the same answer, “Whatever your little heart desires.” That response just made me even more confused and frustrated because it reminded me of how many different options I had to choose from. I knew I wanted to continue my education by attending college, but there are so many aspects to think about when considering a college, such as, the type, cost, size, and distance of the college. I would stay awake in bed at night stressing about it. I knew I wanted to attend a college close
I learned a lot about 3D modeling and ways it can be used. The class first started on September 6, where I was introduced to Klee Miller, a man that actually had worked on a motion picture, The Polar Express. I have to say, I was quite impressed, considering that's what I wanted to get into at the time. I came to University thinking that I wanted to work a lot with 3Ds Max and create many special features for movies, such as Klee Miller did, but now things have changed. As you can tell, in this essay I'm going to be brutally honest about my entire experience in this class. I feel that is the only way I can truly write this essay.
Movies can be very powerful, so be careful what you watch. Movies can affect your emotions in many ways. Some movies, for example, can trigger angry emotions. After watching an angry violent movie, you might start to feel angry all the time. Inspirational movies can give you encouragement to overcome struggles in your life or prompt you to seek a way to help others overcome their own struggles.
Some people already know by the age of seven that they want to become a pilot or nurse; others, however, have more difficulties deciding what to do with their future. People who decided to go to a university or college have to make an important choice: what major are they going into? For many people this is a very difficult question. As the statistics show, one out of five students change their major between admission and the first day of classes. Nearly three out of four students change majors at least twice before they graduate. And three out of four college students express uncertainly about their major. These striking results raised some questions for me. Is it really necessary to choose a major? What influence has the choice of a specific major on the student and his or her education? What are the opportunities for the future? And how can these students be helped? Since I am still having trouble choosing a major myself, I decided to do some research on this topic and I hope it will help you a little bit to make the right choice.
It is one thing to act, and it another to tell a story. Acting is described as playing the part of someone you are not, while telling a story is described as the vibrant recollection of events of the past which have shaped the future. Much of my childhood was spent with my father reciting story after story of his experiences as a Zimbabwean man who went from being dirt poor to achieving the American Dream. Every once in a while, he would order books filled cover to cover with the fables and tales from all across Africa to ensure there was never an end to the stories I would hear. Whether it was the tale of how elephant attained his tusks or the numerous times my father walked over ten miles to school, what captivated me the most was the way in which these stories were presented.
I’ve just entered my senior year of high school. I know that this is a very important year. I have a lot of decisions to make and not much time to make them. These decisions will either make or break my life, and I want to make sure that I make them to the best of my ability because there is no turning back. I need to make sure I definitely want to attend college. The decision is totally up to me. There are many positives and negatives of attending college. Go over them, and then decide. I know myself better then anyone else, and I won’t let anyone else tell me what to do. I will make sure if I am going to attend college that I have something in mind that I will want to do, to succeed in. Choosing a major can be a very stressful situation so why not sit down and take some time to do it? Be creative, don’t rush, give yourself plenty of time and really think about what interests you in life. My major is something that I will want to enjoy, something that I will be doing for the rest of my life. Why would I want to be miserable at something I do in life? In two short essays: “College? What’s in It for me?” by Steven M. Richardson, and “What It Means to Be Creative”, by S.I. Hayakawa, I can relate to my major very well. Athletic Training is something that takes skill, as well as being creative in your own way. No two Athletic Trainers are the same. The more creative I am at whatever I do, the better off I will be. I hold the keys to all the doors that can ...
