Who are you? Where are you going? And how are you going to get there? These three questions are repeatedly asked through my high school experience. By your senior year, you should know these answers, For me, I knew them long before I stepped into high school. However, the answers to these questions were much different during my freshman year. The plan was to become the next Dr. Dreamy or Derek Shepard from Greys Anatomy. But, what freshman didn’t want to be a Surgeon or live the Grey’s Anatomy life? Everything changed when I picked up my first camera, my Junior Year. Photography has been an important piece of my life. It keeps my happy. From doing photoshoots on a regularly basis, to attending a summer of art pre-college program, to taking senior photos, to …show more content…
One of my favorite parts about it is styling the model and picking the perfect location for the photoshoot. Photograph has also showed my my abilities. From being visually creative, Tech savvy, adaptive to change in any photo situation, being a leader by directing the model, to handling an immense amount of stress when it comes to deadlines and have the pictures edited by a certain date, photography has truly showed me who I am. That’s what life's about, changing. Change is the biggest reason why I want to study at Central Saint Martins. Yeah, it can offer a great,amazing, and creative environment or phenomenal professors, but to me it’s much more than that. I want to be immersed in a new culture and learn a new way of life. I want work with people all around the world. I want to understand different points of view that come from people from a different country, then only to relate them to my own. I want to meet new people out in the world that have the same interest as me that are not just from the same country. As socrates, once said, “The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new”
Have you ever gone to sleep and woke up, wanting to make a change? It might not be a big change, but it can be something that is beneficial to you and other people. Sometimes you might not know where to start, and it can be tough. We as human beings all have this mindset where we are scared of change. We are already comfortable and used to what’s there and changing it can be risky because we don’t know the outcome.
Four years of my life drained away at this place called Troy High School. After this year I will be walking away from Troy, worn and torn from the hours of anticipation for grades to be posted, the next weekend to arrive, the answer to whether that special someone will say yes to the next dance, or the unbearable wait for that painstaking bell to ring. Troy is a place of education, a very good one at that, with its Blue Ribbon Award and national recognition, you’d think I would be walking away with knowledge that will serve me well for decades to come, but no. I could have learned the same things I learned at Troy anywhere, it is the insight I picked up that will take me far. “What insight?” you ask. Its priceless wisdom really, it’s a shame too many people overlook it or take it for granted. You see there are some basic classes every Troy student takes, that in the long run prove to be very useful beyond their educational platforms. Take the Troy Tech classes, they offer more than just facts about 1s and 0s and codes of programming. Looking deeper into what is learned in these classes one can pick up the Zen like teachings. Bases, the fact that a ‘10’ can be any number, depending on its base, touches upon the idea how in the real world people seem to be the utmost characters of greatness but the more you get to know them, and their base, they can turn to be someone better or more often then not, something worse than what you first anticipated. In the course of programming we learn that there are several ways to solving a problem, just some are shorter than others and some easier to find the bugs, it depends on the commands you use. Such as how in life when using the right commands, or truths, will get you far, while some just tak...
Change is good." We hear the catchy phrase everywhere. From company slogans to motivational speeches, our world seems to impose this idea that change is always a good thing. Assuming that the change is for the better, it is probably a true statement in most cases. The root of this idea seems to come from the notion that we are dissatisfied with the state that we are in, so, in order to create a more enjoyable surrounding, we adjust. Others, however, stray from this practice, and instead of trying to adapt to the people around them, they try and change others.
For many, change is a cause for ignorance. Most of us fear the idea of change. When one is faced to deal with c...
arack Obama has quoted, “Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.” This quote perfectly encapsulates that change is something a business owner must strive to do, and not to wait for change to occur.
Change does not occur in isolation, Starhawk explains; to resist domination, “refuse isolation.” To “connect,” to “build bonds of caring and community,” and to “create structures of support that can nurture us and renew our strength, are powerful acts of resistance.”
... middle of paper ... ... The point of change is to remember that we cant do things alone and that is why Jesus Christ died for us so we wont have to walk this world alone and in fear and that is why in times of change we trust him. To close, one thing that will be said is this: the world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing.
Try not to be a visionary on the off chance that one needs change, be a
You go three years of high school preparing for college and at the same time having fun. Until you are in your senior year of high school that’s when you realize and start asking your self what college do I want to go to? Or what college career I want to pursue? That’s when you notice you have but so little time to answer these questions. Me I’m in my last year of high school and I though I already knew what career I wanted to pursue, but its now that I notice that not even I know what I’m going to do with my life? All I’m sure of its that I’m going to graduate out of high school with a diploma and that I’m going to college. But what happens after that? What major did I study? Or where did I go to accomplish my goal?
Change can have either a good or bad to it. People say that time can change a person but what allows this change to occur is themselves. “Now I can look at you in peace; I don't eat you anymore.” (Franz Kafka)
As a person who is for the most part uncomfortable with change, it is important that I find ways be a leader in a world that is ever changing. In order to be the best and most prepared leader as possible, it is necessary to be aware of one’s core identity and the values, talents, and strengths that are included in this. Consistent with the indications of Vaill’s term, “permanent white water”, the tendency of the world to change is unavoidable and “continual”. We as leaders must find ways to adapt and acclimate ourselves to these situations. Through the discovery of my core values, talents, leadership style, I will be able to develop an action plan to transform my talents into strengths and use leadership techniques to best accommodate my ambitions.
Change should be seen as a challenge and embraced with enthusiasm (Marquis & Huston, 2012). In my professional and personal life, I view and respond to change as a way to make improvements to existing regulations and circumstances. I embark upon the quest with determination to succeed at whatever task is presented to me. Life without change can become unchallenging and stagnant (Marquis & Huston, 2012). As society and technology advance, you must incorporate the necessary transformations that arise with it.
change as a way of surviving and growing. A big part of this radical change has to do
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.
Having spent twelve years of my school life in just one small red brick building, the years tend to fade into each other. But the year I remember most clearly and significantly is my senior year of high school, where I finally began to appreciate what this institution offered to any student who stopped to look. Before, school had been a chore, many times I simply did not feel motivated toward a subject enough to do the homework well, and seeing the same familiar faces around ever since I was 5 years old grew very tiring soon enough. But I began to see things from a different angle once I became a senior.
