    Before coming to Full Sail University, I had encountered many obstacles that tried to detour or distract me. One in particular placed a great deal of doubt in my mind and made me question was this what beyond doubt I wanted to do, or who I wanted to become. Pondering should I desert my family that is grieving over our loved one, or follow dreams that she, my grandmother, hoped I’d accomplish? With each passing day that college was approaching this complex question tore me in two. The both of you have doubts I’ve proven that neither of you grasp what computer animation can do, nor where it can lead to moreover that’s what frightens you.…

    Immigration and the American Dream What is the American dream? The definition of the American dream that has held true for hundreds of years, is the belief that anyone, regardless of where they were born, should have equal opportunity to achieve success and prosperity through hard work, determination, and initiative (“American”). In Lecrae’s song, “Welcome to America,” a major focus of his piece is the subject of perspective. Everyone sees America differently based on what it has offered them, and Lecrae breaks it down into 3 different individuals’ perspectives; with my main source of focus being on the individuals’ view who is residing outside of the United States (and what they are seeing looking in).…

    Shaele Leach Florida “My Responsibility to America” “We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.” On July 4, 1776 we declared independence from Great Britain and became this magnificent nation that we are blessed to call home. The fact that we can, with pride, call ourselves Americans is all thanks to the founding fathers and the blood, sweat, and tears of the colonists fighting against British domination. These brave men and women made it their duty, their responsibility to ensure that not only they would be free from the tyrannical oppressiveness imposed on them from Britain, but that all future Americans would be free from all forms of tyranny and oppression from any and all countries.…

    Going to a new school is hard for any child; unfamiliar places can be intimidating, new people can be unapproachable and the more advanced classes may even seem impossible. It is a very big social change that forces children to get out of their comfort zone and let new people into their personal bubble, because after all no one wants to be completely alone in this scary, dark world: everybody wants to belong. Fitting in can be more difficult if the child does not speak the same language as the people around them. Making friends and communicating becomes almost impossible until the child learns the language that they have been submerged into.…

    Sometime, I believe the existence of life is just a tragedy. It is not what happening to my life or to those around me that effecting me deeply – it is the external forces that I have no control over or the inability for me to make a different to the situation. Every day, I see bad things happen in the world, especially the thing that happen to the innocent children and the unborn babies. Granted, not all babies are cute or healthy when they were born, but nonetheless, they are innocents. Why do they have suffered at the hand of the adults: the one that created them, the one that meant to take care of them, the one that support to sacrifice for them?…

    An influence that continues to be a part of my life and has been one of my highest interests is music. Rather than listening to the common pop music that's constantly being manufactured by America's renowned, skilled musicians and producers, I instead take a different route. I find music to be such a broad endless subject which is why I love discovering new music whether it be from Japan to Chile. You can acquire a great deal of information about an entirely different culture than yours within 3 minutes of a song. All sorts of music from different countries interest me and this is something people tend to stay away from.…
