Art was, is, and I think will forever be a favorite past time for me. I don’t know when and why I first started having a strong liking to art, but surely it has stuck with me up to this very day. I remember, as a child, I enjoyed coloring, doodling, drawing, and getting messy in arts and crafts, rather than reading a good ol’ book. In grade school, I was always yelled at for not excelling in academic principles like math and science (and still do), but instead, doing exceptionally well in the arts. Growing up with Asian parents, they certainly were not pleased with my choices and strongly discouraged me from heading down a field that was art oriented. However, in high school, I followed my gut instincts of doing what I enjoyed the most and continued with art. I chose to be a part of the Media Communications major that my school had offered. I got to take courses like: Studio Art, Graphic Design, Film and Video, and Web Design. Although, I chose to attend Baruch, this does not dissuade me in any way to put down my love for art. I still wish to continue to express my creativity through design, graphics, and photography even after earning a business related degree. I hope to incorporate the skills I learn in college and my artistic strengths, and possess a career that I can both enjoy and be stable in.
