MY STORYTHE VISUAL

BEFORE I STARTED THE MCBS PROGRAM I HAD ABSOLUTELY NO DESIRE TO GO TO COLLEGE.

DON’T GET ME WRONG, I’M A SMART PERSON AND I LOVE LEARNING, BUT I DIDN’T TAKE HIGH SCHOOL VERY SERIOUSLY.

I HAD SEEN TO MANY PEOPLE SUCCEED IN THE WORLD WITHOUT A DEGREE.

I HAD ALWAYS THOUGHT I WOULD END UP DOING SOME KIND OF SOCIAL WORK, OR WORKING AT URBAN OUTFITTERS FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE.

STRAIGHT AFTER HIGH SCHOOL AT AGE 17 I MOVED FROM SEATTLE, WASHINGTON TO LOS ANGELES TO WORK WITH A LARGE NON-PROFIT, AND I THOUGHT THAT WAS WHAT THE REST OF MY LIFE LOOKED LIKE.

BUT THEN I SAW AN AD FOR FULL SAIL ONLINE.

I WAS JUST SURFING THE WEB WITH NO REAL AGENDA AND FOR SOME REASON AN AD CAUGHT MY EYE.

BECAUSE OF THAT AD I CALLED THE SCHOOL AND HAD A 2 HOUR CONVERSATION WITH ONE OF THE STUDENT OPERATORS.

SHE COMPLETELY CONVINCED ME FULL SAIL WAS RIGHT FOR ME. I HAD NEVER EVEN CONSIDERED HIGH EDUCATION, BUT THAT LADY COMPLETELY CHANGED MY PERSPECTIVE.

BECAUSE OF THAT ENCOUNTER, I CALLED MY FAMILY AND TOLD THEM I FINALLY WANTED PURSUE A HIGHER EDUCATION AND MY GRANDPARENTS OFFERED TO PAY HALF MY TUITION.

I WENT FROM A RANDOM WEB SEARCH TO ENROLLED FULL TIME IN SCHOOL IN LESS THAN TWO WEEKS, I WAS OFFICIALLY A STUDENT OF THE MCBS PROGRAM.

EVER SINCE I DECIDED TO PURSUE MY PASSION FOR MEDIA I KNOW WHAT I WANT TO DO, BE A CREATIVE DIRECTOR FOR A MAGAZINE.

I’VE ALWAYS WANTED TO WORK IN FASHION DEEP DOWN, BUT SO DOES EVERY TEENAGE GIRL WHO THINKS THEY CAN DRESS WELL.

WITH A DEGREE IN MEDIA COMMUNICATIONS I CAN ATTACK THE FASHION WORLD FROM A DIFFERENT ANGLE THAN ALL OF THOSE OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE SAME PASSION AS I DO.
