I guess you can say that I’m a well average kid that had a good childhood for the most part. Nothing too crazy and no key sad backstory that molded me into the person I am today, however, that doesn’t take away from the many things I’ve learned and experienced from others around me to this day. Growing up in a loving household being an only child with someone always being there for me whether that be my mom, grandmother, or dad that wasn’t regularly in my life but was always attempting to be there showed me the good side of the world. Sadly as you grow up that facade fades and you truly see that the world can be a cruel place sometimes without warning. I understood this in the form of my pain with my dad being diagnosed with leukemia and was destined to die at his age. I couldn’t tell at the time but felt something was wrong when each time I would visit my dad and he would get skinner and skinner to the point where it was hard to recognize him and that scared my 9-year-old self. So when I came back from school one day and my mom sat me down and told me the unfateful news that my dad passed away you can understand why I broke down and cried in her arms. It was a tough time as a kid to accept the fact that he was gone and there was so much I still wanted to do with him and show him what I can do since I was only 9 but whether I think about my dad I think about everything he did for me and my mom even though they weren’t married and how he went out of his way to spend time with me. This event and arc in my life showed me true sadness that can manifest into something positive that I wanted to give to the world, that I wanted to show people such as my friends. My friends are a big part of my life and I’ve always been that friend that will try to make them smile in the darkest times and bring joy when they are feeling down. The way I felt when my dad died is something I know a lot of people have experienced one way or another in their life with things no human should have to go through. I’ve heard the stories from my close friends ranging from inter-family problems resulting in shootouts to rape by family members the stories go on. I got left off easy while there are a bunch of other people in the world that can’t say the same thing and some of those people are my close friends. Some would even go through things in the present day and I would see firsthand the pain that they were going through. And it was through this that I found my life's purpose and that was the fact that I was born to entertain and bring smiles on people's faces because that is what I did. Every time there were demons I would put a smile on their face and make them forget about it even if it was only for a brief moment they were happy so I was happy. By taking away their pain within the world it would allow them even for a second to view the world as I did when I was little. This isn’t new however there are different mediums for this such as movies, music, and overall entertainment that take your mind away from reality and put you into a happy place. As for the path I want to go down is quite simple. I want to become a video editor for the flexibility of the job and the passion I have for creativity. To explain the flexibility portion I believe that being a video editor opens my ability to work with the media as long as it deals with video so many opportunities are open for me. I have a passion for video editing because it allows me to create expressively and get over my form of entertainment to people. When dealing with my father’s death I turned to youtube as my form of entertainment or media to cope with it. Watching countless youtube videos and seeing the editing knowing I could do that prompted me to choose this career path as it brought me joy in a dark time. This is my path and journey in life to entertain people and bring joy in dark times.
