On My Way to My Goals

I’m only in high school so I still have a bit to go before I get there. I mainly need to think about how I’m going to get there. Now that I’m taking art classes I’m actually getting professional teachings. Everyone I know says they can tell I’ve improved. But, I still need to develop a portfolio. I plan to go to the best University in my area, UF. To do that I’m going to need a lot. Like straight A’s forever and 2 language classes. Not only that though, you need different requirements to get into the different colleges at the university. Because I want to take a specific Bachler in the College of Fine Arts I will, on top of the UF requirements, still need all A’s and a fully filled portfolio with sufficient art that shows what drawing techniques I’ve learned and they are good quality. It is a little overwhelming, but everyone has told me I have the skills and dedication. Every adult I’ve talked to before I came into 9th grade has told me your grades during the freshman year is the most important so I think I’m off to a great start. I’m going into a basic drawing class for 10th grade but plan to go into AP art classes like AP portfolio development and AP studio art in later years. There are 3 routes I could go to get into UF. 1, I could try to make it into UF as a freshman, but that is extremely difficult. 2, the easier path, I could get my basic academic degree at a local community college and transfer into UF for the degree I want. The community college gives you an automatic transfer to UF so it will be easier to get through emissions. 3, My dad works for UF, and a perk of that is parents can enter their children into a raffle that allows them to have a certain amount of years fully payed for. I still need to apply and there is still the chance you aren’t accepted, but I won’t need to pay massive amount and go broke. Overall, I think I have my plan figured out and I’m on a good track.

My Dream Job

I’ve had 1 idea in my mind for a job for years, and not until recently have I decided to change that. Originally I wanted to be a Marine Biologist. I was very inspired by the Dolphin Tales movie and when I learned the aquarium that held the great tale-less dolphin was only 2 hours away from home I became obsessed with the place. Every summer they have a camp there where you can learn something about marine biology, go snorkeling, and get exclusive tours of special parts of the aquarium. I looked forward to it every summer. I learned a lot too. But that dream faded away.

As I started middle school I found I’m very good at art. Now, I didn’t take any art classes throughout all of middle school but practically every moment I had free time I was drawing. Dolphins are still my favorite animal, but I’ve focused my attention on my art. Now, thanks to growing up with the best animated shows (GO Ninjago), going to Disney World (not land) almost every weekend because I used to have annual passes, and having an odd obsession for the original Scooby-Doo and Heman shows, I’m diving fully into animation. I finally started taking art classes over the summer of my 8th grade year and I’m taking art classes at my high school. I’ve made a couple animations but there can definitely be improvement. But I’m determined and know I will do great.
