I'm looking forward to fully embracing AICE Media and showing what I can do. Our past commercial project really let me dip into my creative side and cooperative side, it was a refreshing feeling. I've had experiences making music videos of sorts for little songs I make as a joke; imagining doing something like that as part of a class sounds fascinating. It's nerve wracking for me because sometimes I fear that I don't contribute enough. But it's all about believing in yourself, right? Making the thing I do for fun with my friends into something to be used to work towards a diploma to better my chances of great things in the future sounds right up my alley. I wasn't originally going to take this class, but my counselor recommended I do, I'll see where this course takes me! On to myself, my name's Julissa, and I'm a brand spanking new junior in the Sunshine State. It doesn't feel as new anymore because we're already a whole quarter into the school year, it's crazy how fast time really goes. Personality-wise, I consider myself to be an unbothered and laid-back individual, especially once you get to know me. My free time is unvaried, if I'm to be wholly honest with you! A day of my life after school consists of eating lunch, watching an episode of Batman Beyond or Cowboy Bepop, and pushing myself to do school work I'm not sure gets finished. I do my best to at least keep myself afloat, even if it takes rewarding myself with far too many breaks. The highlight of my day is always hearing music, song after song. Having music in my life is a big part of who I am as a person, and I consider it to be even a hobby. I never found myself to be a good singer, but you'll find me jamming anywhere from tiring passing periods in school to the cold milk section of my neighborhood Publix. It's the one thing that always keeps me going. I never fully understood people felt the exact way I do until I paid closer attention to some of the lyrics of my favorite artists. They're just like me, sometimes, lost in themselves and trying to find themselves afresh. As a student, I felt that way when navigating online school; it was scary and challenging, but I made it through. Doing online school last year proved myself to be a completely different person then I thought I was. That straight-A student turned into a measly D-student and it really hurt my self-image. I no longer believed in myself, all because I was afraid to ask for help. With a music artist called Arlo Parks and some tender support from my teachers, and I found myself all-of-a-sudden feeling vibrant again. Days no longer started blending into eachother and I got closer with the ones I love; this school year feels like a totally new start. Sincerely, I have been down again, but I won't let this stop me from pumping out a quality music video and staying on top of my deadlines. It wasn't as easy as I'm making it sound as we all have our own processes, but it doesn't hurt a fly to work toward a better you. I just purely, want to do better for myself, not just for others. This side tangent may not relate to this subject, but I see so many things I enjoy in this course. I feel it contributes to this new start. Projects like the music video and commercial have me excited to see how people from completely different backgrounds can combine their creativity to make something worthwhile. I want to try and see myself doing well, I just hope I can prove myself to be fruitful with the work I do turn in.
