I don’t need answers... just hoping someone can read my essay and give me some feedback.
Thanks so much!
“My long term goal is to become an animator and work in the field of cartoon making. While becoming an artist may seem like an easy goal, there are many things I need to do in order to achieve it. There are different types of animation, and I would like to learn more about them as well as other aspects of cartoon making. I would also like to take classes and participate in activities that will help me gain confidence and meet more people with similar interests. My plan is to take small steps to achieve my ultimate goal because I know there are a lot of things I need to learn and accomplish along the way.
There are obstacles I will need to overcome, and actions I will have to take in order to achieve my goal of becoming an animator. One obstacle I will need to overcome is going back to in-person learning in the fall. I really enjoy online learning and the flexibility it gives me to spend time with my family, and of course work on my animations. One action I will have to take is to try really hard in my core subjects and do my best to maintain good grades through high school. This is important, especially if I want to get into a good art school or program after I graduate.
While I do have natural artistic talent, I still have a lot to learn and I know that becoming an animator won’t be an easy task. My plan for high school is to take advantage of any art classes they have to offer so I can learn more techniques and also learn different mediums of art such as painting, sculpting, and pottery. I have always loved to draw and create stories, so I am excited to learn new ways to expand my creativity. I would also like to take some creative writing classes that will help me with my story writing, and will also help me come up with story lines and storyboards for cartoon making.
A few more steps I will need to take to achieve my goal are to learn more about the core subjects in school, and work on gaining self-confidence. I plan to learn as much as I can about history, society, vocabulary, science and math because they will not only help me achieve my ultimate goal, they will help me when I am creating different backgrounds, settings, and characters. I also plan to find different classes and activities such as drama and debate that will help me with self-confidence and speaking in front of people. Gaining self-confidence and learning about acting will also help me with my goal of becoming an animator and will also help me gain voice-acting skills and become more confident and comfortable with public speaking and performing.
In conclusion, my long term goal is to become an animator and have a career in cartoon making. My plan is to learn as much as I can in high school and take advantage of the classes they offer that will help me get into a good art school and achieve my ultimate goal. I am looking forward to learning new artistic techniques and skills, as well as meeting new people with similar interests. I have learned that the best way to accomplish my goal is to make smaller goals and take small steps to help me achieve them. I know there will be obstacles and challenges along the way, but if I work hard I can have a successful career doing something that I love.”
