S Week 2 Exploration: Storyboard By: Cory Sinnott
Aug 15, 2015
So after a year at community college, I transferred to Illinois State University
to obtain a Vocal Performance Bachelor’s Degree.
But then after I tried that for a year and a half, I knew it wasn't where I
wanted my future career to end up.
I love music and always will, but I truly didn’t have passion to be a
professional singer and without a teaching degree, a music career would
not be smart.
Because of that I told myself that I needed to get out before it was too
late and focus my heart and mind on finding my passion.
.
It took some time and courage to tell people, including my family, that I
wanted to change my mind on college for the second time.
Because of that I let my parents know that I wanted to stop wasting my time
and money on a music degree, and they ended up supporting me
completely.
While finishing out my last semester of the music program, I started reviving old interests, like making and editing
videos and recording audio.
After I made a YouTube channel and had started regularly recording web-shows,
podcasts, and voice over work, I realized that this was something I loved to do and
could see myself doing it.
Because of that I found a new love and interest in video editing, podcasts,
broadcasting, and media, and started researching schools that I could pursue this
passion as a career.
I had looked at a few different schools and degree programs, including Full Sail
University where my brother had just graduated with a Music Production
degree.
Until finally I decided that Full Sail University's Media Communications Bachelor
of Science program was what I wanted to pursue.
I did the all the work to apply and get started, and in March 2014 I started
my journey through the Media Communications program.
