The Future

When I was younger I wanted to be a veterinarian (as kids normally do), that's it, that's what I wanted to be. I loved animals of all kinds, but tolerated the bugs, amphibians and such so what better thing to do than to help them myself! Great idea huh? Well later on I realized what veterinarians actually did, other that being around animals, loving them and caring for them. The caring part it where I didn't imagine as much, by that I mean I didn't think they had to cut them to see inside or deal with their blood or any kinds of that matter. Being the last one on earth to want to open up a dog regardless of if I'd help them or not I retreated back to the drawing board on what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. Eventually transitioning from middle school to high school I realized that I enjoy taking photos, I loved cameras as well. After shooting some interesting photos with my low quality phone camera I came to a conclusion on what I wanted to do for a life to come. Photography was dead bolted in my mind as a career and there was no stopping it no matter how many people said I should just do it as a hobby because there's no money for it. My senior year of high school I applied to in my opinion the greatest art school ever, Ringling College of Art and Design. After what seemed like forever of waiting, I finally got an acceptance letter. A couple year forward and I am currently a Sophomore at the greatest art school ever.

So my dreams for the future are pretty high taken Ringling has a very high rate of students getting jobs when they graduate. I'm not sure what I want to do specifically for a career, but I know photography will be apart of it. I'm nervous for the near near future of being an almost college graduate. Not only because that means I have to start paying my student loans, but because I know that being a true true adult is near for me. I hope to accomplish a lot in terms of my photography these next couple years of college I have. Ringling will make sure I get some job in the end of my years of being at this school and I'm semi ready for that. Excited, nervous and wanting to cry a bit is how I feel about my future of being a photographer.
