It has become my new job goal, but I do need to consider a few things; why I think this job suits me, what I will need to do to become an artist, and some of the positives and negatives of this being my profession.…

    College is a life changing investment that prepares for life and career. The vast spectrum of knowledge, skills obtained, and experiences from a college degree more than compensates for the monetary cost of tuition. Creating art is my passion; I have always wanted to become a great artist ever since I was a child drawing on my walls and copying pictures from books. I have devoted my life to improving my talents by illustrating my own stories, practicing drawing daily, and challenging myself to earning my own money doing what I love by drawing commissions. Learning how to communicate through illustration is a valuable skill that will live with me for the rest of my life and progressing my artist career. Creating significances within my art that…

    Major's Fair Reflection

    On October 1, 2015 I attended the Major’s Fair at The Ferguson Center, and I contained very helpful information. I visited the Criminal Justice and Interior Designs major table. Even though I already picked Criminal Justice as my potential major before the Major’s Fair, I got some information that I did not know. I want to attend Law School, and with that being said that is why I picked Criminal Justice so I can know the justice system well. However, besides for my passion for the law I also have a passion for design, and let’s be honest they do not mix well together. I have actually done some research and I could be a lawyer in the fashion world, and that would be the best of both worlds. But besides the passion you should have for your job,…

    I came home from school and began asking my mother many questions about the field of work that my father had done before his passing. . My mother told me my father worked in construction. Then I began to ask what type of things he built. She said “Your father built homes for your family in Jamaica with his own hands and he even rebuilt Mr. Tom’s kitchen.” Once I was informed about the things my father done in his line of work before he passes, it gave me an interest in wanting to go into a career of architecture and design.…

    Thus, the American Dream cannot be possible for artists because not everyone can be famous. But this messed up perception of the dream should not defer people from becoming professional artists. Look at commercials, listen to the radio, walk into a building. All of these creations are products of artistic ability. What happens when the continuously falling numbers of artists fall to dangerously low numbers? While 57% of young people find more importance in “doing something they find enjoyable or making a difference in society” than money, a shocking number of talented students aren’t taking a risk in diving into the world of artistry (White). Sophomore in college Rachel Miller has identified as a visual artist for several years and is considerably talented. However, she is not pursuing a career in the arts, but instead in Psychology. She would much rather be in an advertising or art major, but due to parental pressures, she is stuck in a major that she doesn’t particularly enjoy. She is doing this because she wants a “real job,” claiming that she won’t earn any money being a ‘starving artist,’ therefore won’t be as happy (Miller). And Rachel isn’t alone in doing this; so many students have given up on their artistic American Dreams that the American Dream for artists is barely existing, for such a competitive world has a negative influence on…

    Education has been a tremendous part of providing me the knowledge necessary to continue everyday goals. Growing up in a household whose first language is not English, I was determined to be successful to represent my family. Others would be able to impress their parents with talents such as playing sports, singing, drawing, etc., but I was not given a vocal like an angel nor the skills to compete on the field with other teams. Given those skills, they were granted scholarships and offers to represent their choice college. I was not born in a wealthy family, or else I would've started an investment. Lacking those skills gave me nothing to pass time nor make connections with others, therefore I spent my times with books and games. In high school,…

    My results show that I would be more efficient in jobs that involve social service, art, and management. I was a bit surprised with some of my results but I do think that I would fit in with a job that dealt with social services or art. I would love to have a job where I would get paid to help people or to be creative. I do not think that I would be successful in a job that dealt with management because I am not a very organized person and I do not know if I could be a good leader and manage other people if I can barely manage myself. I am currently considering becoming an art teacher or an interior designer. I would want to be an art teacher because art is my passion and I would love to help children connect with their creative side because I think that an imagination is one of the most important thing that people can have. Creative people are the people that will come up with ideas that will help our future become better. I am interested in becoming an interior designer because I would love to help people be happy with their homes and to make them actually feel at home when they get…

    I have always known that I wanted to work with children. From youth age I have volunteered in several church functions and school functions that dealt with children and their needs. I chose a major of Child Development and Family living in college to become a counselor for terminally ill children in hospitals.Towards the end of my college career I accepted a position as a teacher assistant for the college childhood lab (pre-school program). Seeing the children progress through their learning and developmental stages gave me a sense of satisfaction and purpose. I loved seeing the "light bulb effect" on the children ( the "aha!" moment). Also, the love and trust that these children show makes a person feel so empowered and important. Knowing that I was…

    After I graduated from Hesston College and obtained my Associates in Graphic Design, it was undetermined where I was going or what I was in my future.

    In our modern days, many families want their children to be doctors and engineers while only some want their children to pursue a career in arts and music. In this article, Stacey Goodman focuses on art careers; she says that many parents don’t want their children to study an art career because they believe that if they study those majors, their children will end up in underemployment, disappointment, and struggle lives. As an artist and educator, she advice students who are interested in the arts to follow it and pursue a career in art in the future instead pursuing a career that their parents want, or because it makes a lot of money. Children are sometimes forces to get good grades and become something that their parents want instead of…
