<p>THIS IS A PERSONAL ESSAY FOR NJCU // THANKS!</p>
<p>For me college isnt just a thing I have to do but something that Ive strived for for my whole high school experience. Trying to be as diverse and unique as possible was something Ive always tried to accomplish. Getting to the point of attending NJCU has been a journey only I will ever say Ive traveled.</p>
<p>My life wasnt the easiest but so isnt many of other kids lifes out in the world. Having to deal with my fathers crack addiction and my mothers oblivion I had to take care of myself and my education without parents help which also taught me a lot of responsibility. I had to balance my personal life an education life equally but you and I both know how difficult that could be. I worked at an Eye Pediatrics office a as a receptionist for my sophomore year and at a local café for my junior year till I recently graduated. </p>
<p>My passion for art has helped me get to the point where I am right now, art has kept me on my feet and focused. Throughout my high school experience Ive taking Honors Art courses since my freshmen year, with that each year I added something creatively challenging for example my sophomore and junior year I took Graphic Design and finished off senior year with Video Production. My passion for film started growing enormously after taking it my freshmen year at my first high school, from there the second high school I attended when I was eligible to take the film course I filmed a lot of school events, talent shows and town board meetings for my own personal enjoyment. Thankfully my family was able to travel the world and experience and acknowledge things outside of the norm, which has taught me a lot and followed me throughout my whole life. I eventually lived in Europe for a good chunk of my childhood and learned a lot whilst I was there, playing large roll into my passion for art</p>
