Another Essay 1st draft

Everyone starts out with a dream and throughout life they go through the steps to either get towards that dream or somehow just a bit further from it. In my life I believe I've taken the correct steps to be able to fulfill my dream and to expand on it. This started for me when I went to the Academy of Arts, Careers and Technology. They helped me figure out what I wanted to do with my life by showing me all the options that I had. I figured out that I wanted to become a graphic designer and that I wanted to further my education in a school in San Francisco to pursue my dream. I'm greatly appreciate that I was able to find my dream at such a young age because most people in life never really figure out what they want to do with their life and how they're going to reach goals they set themselves. My school has given me a bilities to be able to go after my dreams. Being a senior in high school I'm glad that I was able to line up all the stuff I needed to do to be able to go after my dreams. Such as taking classes and learning the information that I need to further what I want to do with my life. My dream first started out with my engineering classes but then they branched off and started taking graphic design and animation classes at my school which has opened up my eyes to the new path I want to take. I'm grateful to be able to have such dreams and goals to pursue. One day hopefully soon I will be exactly where I want to be to further my dreams and goals even more.

Abstract Paragraph

For my English class we needed to write an abstract paragraph for our capstone project. It is a project that i have done for my senior year that will branch off into my future. Which is going to San Francisco to study web design and new media, I am really excited and hope that this is a good paragraph for it.

Aspiring Design for the Future

            My senior capstone project was signing up for a pre-college course at the Academy or Arts University in San Francisco. I was able to take four classes that count as units towards my freshman year at college. I acquired four points so far and once I do the spring course I will have six units for myself. I took a class in figure drawing, introduction to comic book illustration, photography and introduction to visual design. My courses over the summer lasted for 15 weeks or modules as they were called by the program. Once I finished the course I received a certification for doing the program and I was able to have my fee for admission into the college waived for taking this course. I learned many things from taking this course such as better drawing techniques, photography skills and more skills with adobe software.

Steps that I have taken:

1.      I enrolled in the summer pre-college program(four classes max)

2.      Picked the classes that I want that would be beneficial to the field that I want to go into

3.      Participated in online discussions

4.      Book work on the subjects

5.      Did the homework for the classes by the time each module was over

6.      Completed 15 modules

7.      Signed up for the spring pre-college program(two classes max)

8.      Still need to pick my classes

9.      Then I will have to do the module work

10.  Finish

A day that I will always appreciate is the day that I stepped up to be a leader for my service learning project. We were given the task to go out into the community and find an issue we felt we could help change or doing something that we felt the community needed. I found what the community needed, which was a garden for the students of Smith Ridge Elementary to use and that the community would be able to use. I met with teachers from that area and we went over what kind of plans that they wanted for their garden. I took those ideas and designed a garden that they were happy with.

 I recruited students from my school to come and help out with the construction of the garden. It felt great to get students from my school and from the elementary school to come out and work together. I felt like a good leader because I just didn't tell them what they needed to do I also did the work with them which made the feeling of being out there even more fulfilling because I got the satisfaction of helping with the design and the building of the garden. It was very inspiring for me because I was able to take knowledge from my studies and apply them to really world applications and help out the community. I learned that I have skills that I can offer to the community to help make it a better one for the kids of the future. In making this garden there are many thing that the kids can learn from it, such as healthy eating, agriculture, social skills and plenty more. It did not only help the kids with their future but also with mine by showing that I do like to do design work, which has opened my eyes to wanting to further my education in design

.It has also made me more aware for my community and how I can keep helping it now and in the future. This was a wonderful experience for me because it really brought me out of my shell and helped me to step up and take charge of my life and has helped me to be more of a leader than I have been in the past. I am proud to be able to say that I have become a leader with the things in my life because most people never really go for being a leader even when their opportunity comes around and for me to be able to say that I did choose to be a leader is a magnificent thing.
