About

I am a college student at McDowell Technical Community College. I took some classes for the graphic design department that led me to go to Full Sail University.

My education journey was and still is, complicated. I went to kindergarten in Nebo Elementary School, but I was sent to special education class but eventually, I was part-time being in a mainstream class, teachers knew I was very smart.

And went back to the full-fledged regular student in 8th grade, but unfortunately, it didn't last long, I was put in the small class program called Occupational Course of Study at McDowell High School.

During my final year at McDowell High School, my main choices were CalArts and NYIT, because CalArts have the best animation program, and NYIT still serves computer animation program.

But I decided to go to MTCC. And I applied and accepted Full Sail University, but I decided to delay for more finance and primary focus on MTCC.

While my dreams of going to CalArts vanish, I am still attending Full Sail University when I finished McDowell Technical Community College.
