Reflect on the goals you set out in the beginning of the semester. How have your thoughts about what you wrote changed over the last 4 months, based on your life experiences? As I read over my past responses that I had written almost four months ago I have realized how short four months can actually be. While gandering over my past responses my resolve to accomplish these aforementioned goals has not diminished in the slightest degree, however, the only aspect that may have changed is the time it will take to accomplish the long term goal. While the time at UNCC has helped develop my skills and way of thinking as an artist it also helped me realized that my skills have a long way to go before I am able to work at Cartoon Network let alone have my own show on the aforementioned network. While my passion for my dreams is still just as strong as the beginning of the semester, with the time I have spent at UNCC I now plan to reach my end goal in a more realistic fashion with taking small steps instead of taking one big jump that will most likely fail. 2. What personal values, skills and interests worked best to help you progress towards your goals this semester? Did you expect this to be the

“Never underestimate your own strength. You were born for a purpose and are blessed with the power to achieve it” (Leon Brown). I have this quote printed out and on the wall next to my door so I can see it every day as a reminder to myself. I believe that we all have a purpose on this earth and that everything we go through on the journey there has a reason whether to teach a lesson or set an example. We have places where we want to end up and goals we want to achieve. We set these goals and dreams to help us fulfill the purpose we see for ourselves. I believe my purpose is to help people in their times of need. To fulfill my purpose, I will need to use my personal, academic and career goals to create a pathway to get to where I want to be
Who created that animated movie? Or that amazing graphic novel? It wasn’t a bird or a plane and it was definitely not a superhero, it was an animator or a comic illustrator/cartoonist. After completing the Career Inventory test, the two careers recommended for me are that of a cartoonist/comic illustrator and animator. Cartoonists/comic illustrators and animators have similarities in their job description, education, and the skills needed, yet both have differences in their working conditions, any money earned, and the job outlook.

For my first prompt, I chose the third one(Describe a moment in school last year when you felt really engaged. Why do you think that moment was such a positive one for you?). Last year, my language arts class was online so therefore, I never really felt very engaged in that classwork. So, if I had to pick one moment I felt very engaged in school, I would choose a project that i did in social studies last year. In that particular class, I had 3 of my closest friends. My teacher assigned us a project over the Civil War, and there were multiple ways to complete it. The one that my friends and I chose meant that we had to make a video telling all about it. I felt very engaged which was very abnormal because I do not normally like video projects. Anyways, the self-learning and doing the project with my friends made me feel really engaged with what I was learning. It was a positive moment for me because I realized that even though I usually learn best a certain way, other ways of learning can actually help me too and bring in a
