I'm a San Diego native and I'm finally expanding my career pursuit. Currently, I am a student at UCSD getting my undergraduate degree in media. I was having issues with myself knowing if this major is the one for me since I couldn't find the passion in it. As I kept questioning it, I heard a lecture by Carrie Mae Weems where she explained that you just feel when photography is correct for you. As she was continued to answer questions from students, all I can thinbk about was that this major just isn't for me. I was picturing myself not being able to make it and what scenarios may occur if I caved. During this loss of faith, I tuned back into the lecture and saw the emotion that poured out of Ms. Weems. That's when it clicked; I am the one in control of the content. Art although a very public thing, there is always a connection back to the creator. I started understanding that what I create is for me. The beauty of creation is what drove me to continue this career choice. Thank you for your time
