“When you wish upon a star.” This is the saying that I have always lived my life by. Ever since I was a young child my family has always told me to reach for the stars and to never lose sight of my dreams. Well I have always known what my dream was. One day I want to be one of the great film makers of our time. Ultimately to do what my inspiration Walt Disney did and more. I want to be the one that is responsible to be a child’s imagination to life. To be the one who controls the emotions of the audience, to give them an experience they will never forget.

To be able to fulfill my dream I would need to stay focused on my passion of animation and film making. Ever since I was young I would study Disney along with other animated films. It always fascinated me that a moving drawing can do so much for the audience. They can take the audience into a whole other world. And ever since then I would practice drawing the characters. In my early years of school there were no specified animation classes so I would spend whatever free time I had in the library or at home trying to teach myself how to do animation. I knew that if I wanted to achieve my dreams, I couldn’t stay in the school that I was in. So my parents, knowing what potential and great dreams I had, moved into another school district so that I was able to enroll in the high school animation program. And from the first day I was there until the day I graduated, I was a part of the animation and art classes. This has been the greatest experience for me because I have been able to win awards for films I have created and to produce animated shorts that kids were able to see and fall in love with.

I have been accepted to a very high level animation college and everything is almost set to go. There is one problem. With the high amount of the tuition that is needed I will need a lot of help to achieve my ultimate dream to one day owning my own studio and becoming a great film maker.
