Two years ago I jumped feet first into a college career. I’m so thankful my Aunt Bonnie encouraged me to pursue a continuing education. College has been a life preserver! Giving me a focus I never would have imagined I needed in this season of life.
My life plans and goals have become clearer as I’ve studied Graphic Design at Academy of Art University and now Rocky Mountain College of Art + Design. One dream that has come to the forefront is to design for good. Though I plan to have a career as a designer, working for a way fab firm, I want to use the gifts and talents I have for a good cause and to have an affect on social change. (More on this later.)
Ten classes into my college career, I have some real talent and skills emerging that I never would have imagined. Did you know I can actually draw something more than a pitiful little stick man when I put a decent effort into it? But I still can’t draw a dog…go figure!
I enjoy the change and the growth that comes from a challenge. I never would be fully experiencing this artistic creative side of me, had my life not taken a dramatic turn. Crisis moments will become cherished moments if we embrace them for what they are.
Be sure to visit my online portfolio at Behance to see what I’m creating.

Wow, thank you! I’ll have to work on this when I have a break in classes.
No worries. I was nominated for another award, but I am too tired to sit up to work on it. I completely understand where you are coming from. I just wanted to let you know that I am glad you are writing again and making forward progress in life. You really are a brave woman! 🙂
You’re very sweet! Thank you for the encouragement.
