my degree means everything to me. my grandpa has always told me that if you work harder then the person next to you then they will look at they guy next to you and get ride of him because he's not working as hard as you are. ever since i was 7 i knew i wanted to do art for the rest of my life, it was what i was good at and made me happy. when i graduate with my degree i want to do one of two things: 1. open an art studio to get younger kids to get into art and see the joy in it... or 2. open my own store of art piece and try selling them.the tougher challenge with my degree is the math aspect of it. some of my requirements for my major is i need to pass math, welllll that's not a good subject with me. i haven't been good at math. i chose Linn Benton Comminuty College because it was the closest college to my highschool. my greatest moment of life was when i graduated highschool, even though my best friend and my grandma weren't there to enjoy it with me but I know they were there with me in spirit, my graduation was the greatest moment of my life because threw middle school and highschool I struggled a lot with failing grades and trying to understand what they were trying to teach me in school.
If I was famous I would honestly be famous for my art, like I said before I’ve been making art since I was little. The best part of Linn Benton Community College is the people I have met in my classes and meeting a lot of new people. I struggle making friends and meeting people who are art majors like myself is a really good way to meet new people who have the same interest as me.
I am 18 years old almost going to be 19 in August. My family is kinda different then most families, I have lived with my mom and my step dad for many years of my life because those were the people who were there for me. My dad wasn’t apart of my life he thought I was a mistake because he had me at 19. I have 3 sisters who are all younger I have a 17,16, and a 14 year old sisters. Even though I can’t see one of them I still love them with all my heart. My college experience is different then what I’m used to, but college is way different and better than high school. So far my favorite class in Linn Benton Community College is ceramics 1. I love seeing art worked with ur hands and you have the control of the clay. I struggle with math a lot because I am very right side of the brain and am not good with math, science or history. My dream job would be anything that is art, if I can get a job with anything thay is art that would be my dream job and I would be happy with it. My career goal is to get my degree and find a job that involves with art and make a living off of that. My life goal is to have my children ( when I have them) to not have the same life I have where my parents were split and one didn’t want to be apart of my life, I want them to have everything they want and not have to worry about money or if we have food for the month. Linn Benton has impacted my life because I am first generation college student who actually will graduate, Linn Benton is making my dream come to that I can do whatever I sent my mind to.
My role model is my mom. My mom has been legally blind since she was 15 years old. I have watched my moms vision get worse and worse threw out my years of life. My mom worked threw her blindness and has held a job till she couldn’t anymore. My mom has fought for my education and my love for art. My mom is also my hero because threw everything she’s went threw from my dad leaving, her mom and dad dieing she had kept a strong face and always told me. “ you can do whatever you want to do even if things get in the way.” The happiest moment of my life was seeing my mom get back up on her feet and getting another job after 10 years of not having one.
The greatest challenge of my life right now is balancing my work life, college life and my actual life. Having a full time job, having classes in college and still trying to be a teenager is hard. Getting called into my work because people won’t show up really is irritating because I need to get my school work done but I still come into my work taking people’s shifts because they won’t be there themselves. The hardest part of college right now is wondering how we are going to do finals online. My favorite place to go is the part near my house to just sit and take a breather from life
