I wanted to do that so I could help myself with my photography and I didn’t just have my pictures, I could go and make my pictures into something amazing and wonderful and to share it with the world. Now that I have gotten through the graphic communications program I am enjoying working with all the software and how it is working, making logos, banners, flyers, working with clients. It is an interesting career field, but it is amazing and I wouldn’t trade it. I feel as if I am in a good spot to start at the bottom of any job and work my way up the chain and one day be put in charge. The way I look at it is that no matter where you go for a job you will have to work your way to the top and that will in case you having to do jobs you may already know how to do and do great at them but the more you work at it and show the boss you can do anything and to a high quality that will them that you are ready to move one step closer to the …show more content…

    My five year plan is to get a diploma in early childhood education and medical office administration. I would also like to get some sort of educational achievement in art that will allow me to make art for others. I have chosen this plan because it fits my personality. I enjoy and love being around kids, like the medical field, and love art. I could have a job in a pediatrician's office where I see young children on a daily basis and if a room needed to be painted I could do the painting. In order to achieve these goals I need to focus on what I can do now and take advantage of opportunities. I have been taking art classes ever since I started high school to meet my art goal. I am now a senior and I decided to take this summer online course, just in case I could not get into the early childhood education program offered at my school. I did not want to graduate high school without having any knowledge about early childhood education. I think this is a huge step in working towards getting my early childhood diploma. During the course of my high school career, I have also taken classes within the health science field and will be taking two classes required to get a diploma in medical office administration. As of right now I am not working but have tried applying for a job in a day

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

    My present interest in art is more graphic/typography based, although I do enjoy all areas of art. I have been designing graphics on my computers from a young age and have work published in national magazines. Not all the graphical work I do is computer based, I enjoy using traditional mediums in a clean graphical way, as I find it more satisfying working on a larger scale and producing something more "real". My current course has helped me "branch out" more; I have experimented in many disciplines successfully producing paintings, pastels and drawings, which I had never really developed fully before.

I would definitely make the same decision again because I have learned so much from this experience. I learned skills in and about business, design, how to build a website, how to make business cards, and so much more. This experience has not only been a great way to make money on the side, but also a great example of what the real world is like for an adult since no one knew that they were hiring a teenager when they hired me to photograph their events.

    To this day I still wish I could play football. On a positive note, I found out in my senior year of high school that computers and graphic design sparked my interest. I dabbled in Photoshop. I started off by just editing pictures and doing other little projects. This highly benefited me since I would be going in a related major going into college. When I graduated, I waited a year to go to college because I had to save up money to pay for tuition. So after a year of working at Chick-fil-A, I finally had enough money to put myself through college. I am currently majoring in Web Development. It has been a stressful, but an amazing experience. I have one more semester left and I’ll be able to start my career. I’m ready to begin my future, making money, and do what I love. The web development field is a booming career with

    Educational Goals: Education is extremely important part of my past, present, and future goals. I currently hold an Associate of Applied Science in Graphic Design Media. I have found that an A.A.S Degree does not go as far al I originally intended in the Rochester, MN area and furthering my education will be a necessity for my future career goals. Over the past 2 years I have been working on my Bachelor of Science in Business Administration at the Minnesota School of Business Rochester campus. I am currently a senior with 3 quarters left before a spring graduation. After a June graduation, I plan on taking a summer quarter break. After summer break I will either continue on at MSB for my Masters in Business Administration with a Minor in Marketing or transferring the University of Minnesota for my Masters in Adult Education. After my Masters Degree is complete I will decide at that time if I wish to continue on and achieve my Ph.D.

  • Final Reflection: My NEW Place In Photography

    1312 Words  | 3 Pages

    Prior to this course, I knew photography was a part of my every day life. After experiencing this course, I know I knew little about photography. Photography is definitely part of my life, but as I reflect on my sixteen-week progression, I realize that everyone can take a picture but “taking a photograph” as an art. My initial thoughts were that with smart phones we are all “photographers” sharing and it has become part of our visual culture, but not all photos deserve appreciation. Although I believed I had an eye for interesting things and liked to shoot pictures from angles or interesting features, I realized that knowing more about the functions and diversity a quality camera could provide was missing. Photography has been a vital part of my personal history and now will be a bigger part of my life as I am armed with knowledge and experience with angles, lighting, settings and Photoshop so the memories I capture will have a stronger purpose. Point and shoot has transitioned into a passion for finding interest in a subject and utilizing my knowledge to create artful photos. Ordinary or standard shots will be a part of my past. Reflecting on my interest in photography as a potential path for my future, or a part of an overall career choice, I realized that if I continue on a public relations or marketing path, photography will be a critical part of my career. Photography 181 has given me invaluable information that will be carried on into my future in both business and personal arenas. My place in photography will continue to include sports action photography as I am an athlete and appreciate these, as well as in editorial or brand image photography as part of my career.
