<p>Hello there!
I was hoping you'd be able to chance me for Rhode Island School of Art and Design, California Institute of the Arts, and Massachusetts College of the arts.</p>
<p>I applied to character animation for Calarts and animation for RISD and MASSART.
I also applied to SCAD for animation, so if neither accepts me than I have a backup.</p>
<p>A little about Me</p>

-I'm Hispanic.
-I'm fluent in Spanish and know a bit of Latin.

<p>Background Info</p>
<ul>
<li>Freshman year my all girl's high school closed down and I was forced into transferring to another private high school (with a pretty good program) closer to my home.</li>
</ul>
<p>-I attended the national portfolio day on November and every school that I saw accepted me on the spot.
-I wasn't able to check out the RISD booth, Calarts booth, or Massart booth because the lines were far to long and I simply ran out of time.
-The schools that accepted me on the spot were CCA, SCAD, AIB, SMFA, Montserrat, and some random school in Michigan I had never heard of before.</p>
<p>-I was out for a month during last quarter due to severe illness and I'm still working on make up work.
- Because of my illness I was given an extension to complete my RISD application and they received everything around 2/3 weeks ago.</p>
<p>-My current art teacher is a graduate from RISD (undergrad) as well as Calarts (graduate school) and really likes me. Therefore I can expect a pretty good recommendation from her.
- She also studied animation at both schools and worked at Disney for a short time before settling down to become a teacher.</p>
<p>-My photography teacher is a graduate from Massart and he likes my stuff so I'm sure I got a good recommendation from him as well.</p>
<p>*My Portfolio - Portfolio</a> - a set on Flickr *</p>
<p>-I also made a stop motion animation for my school play, but because I made puppets with my teacher's faces on them I don't feel comfortable showing it to the world. Though, it's pretty decent and is around 3 minutes long. There are some obvious mistakes, but for the most part I'm proud of my first animation and the reviews it got when it first showed during the play.</p>
<p>If you chance me I'll definitely chance you back!
