As I have mentioned in a previous blog post, I am extremely shy when it comes to public speaking. Going to school, I was always afraid because I didn't know what to expect. I always assumed that I would have to speak to the class. That was my biggest fear in highschool. I kept telling myself that everything would be okay, that nobody would judge me, but it never put me at ease.
Courses I voluntarily chose to take included game design, culinary arts, welding, digital film making/pictures, psychology, among others.
Out of all of these classes, my favorite ones were game design and culinary arts. I mean, who doesn't love video games and food?
Game Design: When it came time to choose courses to take, game design really appealed to me. I thought it would be a blast to learn how to make my very own computer games. It was. We were given a booklet of instructions for creating our own games. It was very exciting to learn different functions!
Culinary Arts: If memory serves me correctly, I took culinary arts every year of highschool. Each year, it got more and more interesting and fun. I got to learn about not only how to cook dishes but the science behind food. The entire course was exciting, however, the best part? You guessed it....Eating!
Anyways, I won't bore you with more course descriptions!
You're probably wondering how I went from these courses to deciding to start writing. The truth is, they don't really have a connection to it. The connection would be the fact that I really enjoyed English class. Most people I know say they hate writing essays. I found it to be quite enjoyable.
In college, I didn't do a ton of writing. In my three years, I took a computer science course (a lot of hands-on assignments) and Business Administrative Assistant (working with computer programs, a lot of numbers and terminology I had to learn). One time in my Business class, however, I had to write an essay. I received a very good grade on it. This is when I thought that writing would be the best thing for me.
During my short time writing, I have discovered that it is by no means easy. It is not easy but it is very enjoyable for me and I feel like I chose the right path. That's really what matters. Do something that you enjoy rather than something you really dislike doing as a career. What's the fun in that? Make sure you are having fun.
