Do you remember when you were a little kid and you had all those dreams of what you wanted to do when you grew up? Well I was a big dreamer...I mean I wanted to be everything (teacher, policewoman, Superwoman, you name it) and guess what? It didn't turn out that way! I did graduate from college with my first degree in general studies which didn't get me anywhere and I went to WT for a brief time and it didn't work out well. I had a problem with what I really wanted in life. It was a big setback for me at that point because I kept on changing my majors so I decided to look into my heart and decide what I really wanted to do. I remembered how I always enjoyed art and even remember all those fun art classes I took in elementary school. And when we had those new Apple computers come out in 1994 or 1995, I remember being fasincated by the computer art programs they had on there like paint and drawing, you know? I would play on the computer and do my own drawings on there. I took art classes in middle and high school too and was a co-editor on the yearbook staff. I helped design the yearbook's cover and pages which I loved to do a lot. That's when I realized that the whole time it was art that inspired me the most and I just didn't know it. Therefore I decided that graphic design was for me and that was what I wanted to do. I love designing anything on the computer and it helps me feel like I've accomplished something.
Now I have one more year left at AC and will transfer to WT afterwards and then hopefully work for a company for a while then start my own business designing stuff for people. Besides doing graphic design, I also would like to travel. There are a bunch of places that I would like to see someday. New York City is #1 on my list right now and I'm making plans to go there next year during Thanksgiving week. I've always wanted to go there since I was a kid so I'm determined to make that dream become reality. That little kid inside me is still a big dreamer.
So for those who think their dreams are impossible, you gotta believe that anything is possible.
