What are you good at?


So for my classmates, remember that quiz we took in the beginning of the semester? The one about your passions? Anyways well I remember I got communications. Which I thought was interesting because that's what I'm majoring in and I really do get that good feeling inside when I'm just doing life with people, but I thrive going through life with my family and friends. My tribe. My support system. My family. We are all in it together. 

Some say be a doctor. Maybe a lawyer.  Or an accountant. The list can go on, but I feel more now days,  that many will say, "Go Big," or "Follow your passions," and "Life is too short to be doing anything else than what you love." And I agree with all of those things. Life is way too damn short to be doing something that makes you question your very existence. Don't get me wrong being a doctor isn't bad, but if it's not something that isn't you/dread doing, then don't do it. In the end you will get burnt out. But do what you love, and it will be rewarding!

There is nothing more that gives me absolute joy then  to just be side by side with the  people I love, while capturing some highlights along the way. Like this picture for example. I remember the day as clear as a crystal. I won't give too much away because it was personal matter. We were on the North Shore and in this moment the girl stoked on life was transformed forever, it was her breakthrough moment. I was so happy, she was happy, my friend was happy for her. It was just a great day all around. I always bring my camera with me anywhere in case things happen like this or I see a moment that I want to remember forever. 

My family and friends will  go through some photos that I have taken and we will laugh, smile, cry, because the rush of emotions that come along with those 4x6 pictures. It's a beautiful thing to be able to capture some of life greatest moments, with some of my most favorite people. This is what I believe I was made for. This is my purpose. Life is beautiful and I am so blessed. So why not share it with others?

I feel that is one of my purposes and what I hope to do what I love as a job which I guess kinda goes with purpose. But most importantly I feel that through the adventurous spirit and capturing it, it also creates a bond and amazing memories with my friends, it just generates so much happiness, which is the ultimate goal. My whole life motto is pretty much love. I feel love is a big part of communica...

So for this assignment I wasn't really sure what to focus on, so I decided to look into photography but more of underwater photography like professional surf and wave photographer Zak Noyle. So honestly I'm not sure exactly how this topic would be enough for the CRAP test, but I think I made it work anyways. So You Want To Be A Professional Underwater Photographer?  , score 4 Get Paid To Travel The World-Underwater  , score 3 How to Get a Career in Underwater Photography?  , score 4 How to Take Photos Underwater  , score 3 For these sources I gave fairly high scores because all of them elaborated on the subject and all came from organizations/ real people who actually do it for a living.

What Are You Really Learning at School and Do Standardized Test Matter?

Image
(Background story) So if you are like me growing up school wasn't your best friend. Don't get me wrong I loved school for the social aspect and the fact that I got to see my friends, but when it came to the academic side it was the absolute worst. I went to a private school and the level of education was higher than public school (supposedly). For me I was a visual learner and a hands on person, I hated the fact of just sitting in a math class and doing math problems on a board and chemistry learning formulas. I liked classes like English, occasionally history, and loved Art. Then when it came to the SAT's and ACT's you can only imagine how stressed I was because school and I were never best friends my best in math and science was probably B and C work. My parents always told me that I should go higher in Math, but as soon as I got my required credits for high school I said "GOODBYE" to math forever (until I got to college). When it came to college because o...
