What do you have to do to start
working in that industry?
|
|
I’m not 100% sure about what my
dream job is since I have two ideas on what I would Like my career to be in
the future. At first I wanted to be a concept artist, I wanted to draw,
sketch and illustrate artwork for a games industry although I would also like
to have a career doing VFX For films. To do this I am doing games design in
college to help provide me with the right skills/qualifications I need to do
for either of the careers.

I really enjoyed the subject Art
and English because most of the teachers did compliment my art and tried
persuading me into doing it as an Btec because they believed I would be one
of the top students because of my dedication and imagination. Although I didn’t
follow art as one of my options (which I do regret) I loved being able to try
different techniques within the lesson as well as getting positive and even negative
feedback of the class or the teachers because it allowed me to know what I need
to do to better. Even though I am bad with my spelling and forgetting words
due to my learning difficulty dyspraxia. I loved English, I loved writing stories
and being able to express myself which I couldn’t do In person. The teachers
did agree that my imagination made my course work so much better although grammar
and spelling mistakes wasn’t my strong point.

I Worked in irlam endowed in a
year 3 classes as a teacher assistant. I did several tasks such as reading
one to one with a child, following out lessons/preparing for the lesson,
Working with kids who had learning
difficulties/found their work difficult which the teacher said the children
did ten times better with my help, I helped out in sports and was on play
time duties. I loved doing this as a work experience because It allowed me
how to communicate with different personalities and allowed me to help the
children. At the end of the work experience we got given an report and My
report basically said that I did better than they expected and they would
love for me to come back to do more
work experience if I had the free time.

I believe I am quite good at being
able to solve problems effectively and quite fast because once I am determined
to get something finish I will put all my focus into completing my goal
including having to solve the problems which might accrue while doing so because I am very committed
to get the best quality off work. I am really creative, I Always try and make
whatever I am doing original and make it more eye-catching than others might
be. This is because I do believe that when something is more creative it
becomes a lot more interesting immediately so it’s more likely to be seen.
Although I am not that good with communication and public speaking because my
learning difficulty does include having speech problems however I have
improved musical with my self-confidence and can communicate really well when
I put my mind to it. I’m also not that talented at numeracy although I do
know how to do it and I can do maths when I have the time to be able to work
it out.

I Have a lot of hobbies. Mainly
being reading, art/creating, Computers, Games, Films,Listening to music, Socialising,
baby sitting, Training and spending time with my pets and Doing my makeup and
cutting my worn hair.
I love to read because I think reading helps your imagination to grow and it’s amazing how reading a book can make you escape reality and you can easily imagine what that scenario is in the book- what it looks like etc. I have read several books but my favourites are; Once, then, The harry potter series, Jacqueline Wilson and many more including fictional and non-fictional books. I do a lot of art including drawing with pencils, colours, water colouring, pastels etc. I also make a lot of creativity things like creating an exploding box etc. I believe that Anything personal which you have spent your own time in is a lot better than something rushed. I watch a lot of films mainly being horror or comedy and I socialise with family and friends as much as I can if I have enough time after doing course work etc. I love animals, Any animals no matter how big or small. I have had several pets such as gunnies pigs, toads, piranha, Red belly news, Dogs, Tortoise, hamsters and I was responsible for training them for instance I have trained all 4 of my dog- in the past and in the present. Including teaching them sitting, lie down, roll over, paw, stay, ‘dance’ and say please. I do well with computers to, hardware and internal for example I have taken apart several computers and fixed their fan etc and I have a lot been able to do reset, restore and fix an computer which had difficulty even turning on. |
