My journey has been eventful, discovering who I am, and what I
want to be, has been an interesting emotional roller
coaster.

My father is my greatest influence, he always told me
education is the key and it will open great doors for me.

He was not an entertainer but he commanded a room, he had such a
great personality, he was always the life of any party and a great dancer.

He was a great story teller, he was funny and he didn’t need a mic to get peoples
attention, once he entered a room people would gravitate towards him naturally.

He had a powerful voice, and if he was on camera or had a mic,
every body would be glued to him, and nothing he did was scripted.

I was always blown away, I told myself
when I grow up I want to be just like him.

We loved recording ourselves especially on birthdays, and when we listened to it later it sounded like a real show, I knew
this is exactly what I wanted to do.

As I entered my teen years I lost track of who I am, it’s so ironic
how, in the midst of discovering myself I lost my way.
![Page 9: Week 2 Exploration: Storyboard](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051817/547a5d0db4af9ff9018b4607/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
I was changing and I felt I had no control, I felt
misunderstood, insecure, I felt different.
![Page 10: Week 2 Exploration: Storyboard](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051817/547a5d0db4af9ff9018b4607/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
I thought I needed to be a certain way to be accepted, so I emulated what I
saw on TV, and the Media greatly influenced my life negatively.
![Page 11: Week 2 Exploration: Storyboard](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051817/547a5d0db4af9ff9018b4607/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
When I finished high school I was lost, I didn’t know what I wanted
anymore, I kept putting my dreams on hold,
![Page 12: Week 2 Exploration: Storyboard](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051817/547a5d0db4af9ff9018b4607/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
I was un happy and I was not headed to a great path, I started working full time, in a
job I didn’t like.
![Page 13: Week 2 Exploration: Storyboard](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051817/547a5d0db4af9ff9018b4607/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
My dad never gave up on me, he always encouraged me to go back to school, he believed in me and always
said I shouldn’t be afraid to stand out.
![Page 14: Week 2 Exploration: Storyboard](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051817/547a5d0db4af9ff9018b4607/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Just because I don’t do things like everybody else doesn’t mean there
is something wrong with me.
![Page 15: Week 2 Exploration: Storyboard](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051817/547a5d0db4af9ff9018b4607/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
He constantly reminded me the world is at my finger tips,
and loved to say “the ball is in
your court, what are you going to
do with it?”
![Page 16: Week 2 Exploration: Storyboard](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051817/547a5d0db4af9ff9018b4607/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
He encouraged me to do what I love, and not settle. He couldn’t wait to
see me graduate, he was so excited.
![Page 17: Week 2 Exploration: Storyboard](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051817/547a5d0db4af9ff9018b4607/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Unfortunately he died before I went back to school.
![Page 18: Week 2 Exploration: Storyboard](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051817/547a5d0db4af9ff9018b4607/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
I felt like my world was coming to an end, my best friend, my role model,
my number one fan was gone.
![Page 19: Week 2 Exploration: Storyboard](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051817/547a5d0db4af9ff9018b4607/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
There were times I felt I would never make it, but I kept hearing my Dad's voice
saying ” Don’t be afraid to stand out, be you, show the world what your made of.
![Page 20: Week 2 Exploration: Storyboard](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051817/547a5d0db4af9ff9018b4607/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
These words kept replaying in my mind like a record.
![Page 21: Week 2 Exploration: Storyboard](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051817/547a5d0db4af9ff9018b4607/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
One day I was watching a documentary on PBS called Merchants of the cool, it displayed how media purposely misleads young people, it was an eye opener, I realized that’s me and
many other young people.
![Page 22: Week 2 Exploration: Storyboard](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051817/547a5d0db4af9ff9018b4607/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
With the help of my parents who never gave up on me and God, I changed my life, and wanted to be a positive voice for young people, I decided to go back
to school, so I can achieve this goal.
![Page 23: Week 2 Exploration: Storyboard](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051817/547a5d0db4af9ff9018b4607/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
I joined Full Sail University and I am living my dreams. My job is a daily
reminder of why I need to follow my dreams.
![Page 24: Week 2 Exploration: Storyboard](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051817/547a5d0db4af9ff9018b4607/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
I also want to make my father proud, he wanted the best for me and paved the way so I can succeed, and I have faith God will
get me through.

I have found my way, I am passionately pursuing my dreams, and elated I will be graduating on July 1 2016, and finally doing what
I love.

Looking at my classmates stories I realized each of them has been
through a lot, every one had a moment where they were at the bottom,
![Page 27: Week 2 Exploration: Storyboard](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051817/547a5d0db4af9ff9018b4607/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
but they didn’t give up they pushed and pushed to have a better life.
![Page 28: Week 2 Exploration: Storyboard](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051817/547a5d0db4af9ff9018b4607/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
They were lost for a little while but they found their way.
![Page 29: Week 2 Exploration: Storyboard](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051817/547a5d0db4af9ff9018b4607/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
I am inspired by each of their stories and I draw strength from them, I want to encourage them and remind them
![Page 30: Week 2 Exploration: Storyboard](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051817/547a5d0db4af9ff9018b4607/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
"All our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them.” Walt Disney.
![Page 31: Week 2 Exploration: Storyboard](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051817/547a5d0db4af9ff9018b4607/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Keep dreaming until your dreams come true, and if you love what you do you will never work a day in
your life.
