My motivation to pursue a major in film originates from my primary driving force of my love of craft? not only the appreciation of the aesthetic, but also the intensity one puts forth when chasing excellence. In my mind, it is that undying drive, that unequivocal thirst to reach your potential, which allows individuals to stand out among the crowd. And here?s the kick: that perhaps the creation stemming solely from one?s artistic expression may in fact alter lives and minds. The yearning I feel emanating from me each and every day to reach that all encompassing attainment, is what I call love. That love is what keeps me at it every day?knowing that in those special moments of life, I can grasp people, situations, lifestyles, ideals, and passion, that will ultimately get me closer to reshaping the minds of millions in ways that few individuals have ever done before.

I know this is possible, all because of attending San Diego State University.

When I think about my college experience so far, it all rushes past in a jumble of memories and emotions that are sometimes hard to detangle.
