I chose to study the entertainment industry because I have always had a passion for it. I grew up with music always playing on the radio and if the radio was off, the television was tuned into some show. I know many people listen to music and watch television all the time, but there is so much more to this industry. Being so passionate has led me to studying specific things in the industry and learning the ins and outs of it, which is helping me to find a potential career. There are many people in the industry that I look up to and one person, who has made it in particular, is Debra Rathwell.

Since I can remember, I’ve always wanted to become rich and famous. I know, who doesn’t right? I dreamt about having everything I have always wanted such as video games, movies, new technology, and even books. My way of getting there was becoming a well-known and high-paid actor.

I believe that a course in Media is the right one for me not only due to media being a interest of mine, but as my hopeful career path.

I am currently studying Media Studies, Film Studies and Psychology at A2 Level and I have completed an AS Level in photography. My favourite part of AS Media was creating an opening to a film for our coursework as it meant I could be involved in the production side.
With all the technological advances in the last twenty years and the rise of social media in the last ten, it is not unreasonable or inconceivable to suggest that the electronic media devices present in children and adolescents’ bedrooms are inhibiting normal sleep processes and resulting in tiredness at school and the onset of Delayed Sleep Phase Disorder (DSPD).

Luckily, I have been ahead of the game getting into broadcasting at a young age, helped me develop my skills both in front and behind the camera.

I believe I would be a very good fit with these skills as I have been practicing them in my everyday life and in school. The job market trends in my future profession vary.

While words and written media have been a concentration of mine, I have had a limited exposure to the production side of my practicum. Classes such as Intro to Media Tech, Media and Society, and Intro to Media Theory have truly helped me to understand the inner workings Upon applying to Temple I felt a compulsion to pursue my love of writing, and yet I felt a responsibility to uphold the nine-year commitment bound to me by my own love for music as well as to the investment of scholarship made out to me on behalf of the Jazz department.
