Now its time for me to tell everyone about my aspirations, I have for quite some time wanted to be a dentist and I cant honestly say it is not for the money. I know that money is not everything and that it does not buy happiness but I also realize that being poor does not buy happiness so I think im going to take my chances with the money thing. To be honest there are many reason I have chosen to be a Dentist the only problem standing in my way of this goal is school. I suppose I can be a bit of a pessimist sometimes and because of that I look at school not so much as an opportunity for learning but more as the great beast that is trying to destroy innocent hopefully young people trying to give the world what it wants. From my experience school is not so much about knowledge and applying that knowledge but more about fulfilling useless requirements and having unrealistic teachers thinking that their class is the be all end all of higher learning. That said I choose Biology as my major partly because it would fulfill my requirements for dental school but also because I am actually interested in it. Biology actually holds for me a glimmer of hope when it comes to learning, I see it as something that I can grasp and has practical logical application. As for the UofL being the school of choice for me...well it isn't, but im here and the reason for that is it was close and easy to get into. I really do have goals and dreams in life but most of them are more centered around family and providing a good quality of life for them. Even thought biology is my official goal right now im actually looking more into getting a Medical Lab degree from the UofA. I know that I have kind of hashed school in this post, but to be honest I am kind of encouraged by the classes im taking this semester they seem to be more about learning and helping me achieve my best instead of about just filling a requirement. The shift in attitude comes from the fact that finally I have the opportunity to interact in a creative environment with doing things that are well different from the norm and yet stimulating. From this class I expect to have my mind exercised in a way that it has so far not been.
My experience with programs like Photoshop and Dreamweaver are limited but my experience with premier is non existent....but hey at least I want to learn. When it comes to photography I actually do have a fair amount of technical experience but not to much in the art department. Unfortunately most of my photography deals with film cameras and not digital ones but at least I do have access to a digital camera.
