My plans in the future consist of a career leaning towards Marketing and Art. Growing up I've always had a passion for art, never any academic in school would catch my interest the way art would. I hated math, English, and science was boring, and I liked history but couldn't see myself pursuing history when I was older. I would love to keep doing art because it is never boring and there are so many options in the art field I can choose from. Because art is expressed in so many different ways and is "freeing". There is a poster in the art classroom from Ringling College of Art and Design and it has a list of hundreds of careers and jobs you can do with a degree in art and design. I love looking at and reading the lists because it gives me so much inspiration and ideas for what I can pursue with just an art degree. There are careers I can do with both marketing and art. By staying dedicated to honing my craft in both marketing and art, I can carve out a fulfilling and successful career path that allows me to express my creativity while making a meaningful impact in the world. There are creative directors, film production managers, and even creative marketing strategists. I could use my creativity and effectively bridge the gap between creativity and commerce, efficiently opening doors for artists to bring their work to market. I also love film and grew up making little movies and still do to this day. I like creating and editing videos well which is why I can see myself pursuing films, like a film director, or a video artist/designer. A dream job would be creating trailers for movies. Graphic design is also a huge field and I've been doing research on those jobs too, like a video/film graphic designer, or sports graphic designer because, after all, I am an athlete and artist. Photography too is a big hobby of mine along with film, I think it would be so cool to be a travel photographer or a cinematographer. As you can see there are so many examples and careers I can see myself doing in the future, which makes me feel 100 times better and less anxious about growing up because I have so many possibilities. And I believe if there's something I want to do in life, I can do it because I have always been motivated, self-driven, and can be independent and strive in whatever I may do. I am excited to develop and grow as a student in college and head off to the University of Nevada Reno where I can study marketing and art. My goals in the future are to stay happy, have something I enjoy doing as a career, make new friends at school, and stay organized and healthy. I want to study abroad and travel the world, eventually, I will have kids and a nice comforting home with 2 dogs and 2 cats.
