MY MCBS STORY

•

Before I started the MCBS program I attended Valencia Community College but I found no passion in my schoolwork and wanted to find a place where my passion for acting, writing and entertainment such as film, movies, and fashion were encouraged.

I had always thought I wanted to be a Psychologist because I thoroughly enjoyed Intro to Psychology but then we began learning about how the mind works and because of that I realized that was not for me.

Though Valencia Community College is a good college for students who want to further their education to The University of Central Florida, this college wasn’t for me. Valencia was not suited for me not just because their careers sparked no interest in me but also because there is absolutely no encouragement for creativity, visual and kinesthetic learning, which is how I strive.

Creativity has always been a huge part of my life and without it I’m quite miserable especially in a school environment.

I also tried to join activities within the school that could encourage my creative side but there were no activities that sparked my interest

If I am not enjoying the course work or have some sort of a creative outlet then I will not have motivation to get up and go to class, thus money is then being wasted

I later left the college because of that and because I was not sure on how to pursue my passions, and because of that I struggled with where I wanted my life and future to take me. Due to me not knowing where I wanted to go I began working at a family friend’s retail store but continued to act locally and soon made a Tumblr Blog.

Through acting, writing and blogging I was able to work through my creative outlet while working at the store.

Writing is a creative outlet for me that I enjoy. I love creating stories and therefore I began to write a book, a book which I hope to get published one day

Acting has always been a love of mine since I was seven and when I began attending Valencia Community College, I was unable to do that because I had no time but when I left the school I was able to pick that love back up.

Blogging was also an amazing creative outlet because I could talk to others about my love for certain subjects; such as my life, TV, film, fashion, celebrities and more. I enjoyed blogging about all of the previously listed subjects, especially film and TV or anything that related to entertainment, and because of that I came across some followers who attended Full Sail University.

I had never heard of Full Sail University but as I continued to research the school, it intrigued me. Until finally I realized I had been looking for careers in the wrong places and decided I would be happiest if I continued to pursue my acting and begin a career as a New Media Journalist that specialized in entertainment writing. And ever since, I decided to pursue my passion for media in the entertainment industry.
