My life in a snapshot

Introduction

Growing up

• I was born in Fountain valley but raised in Westminster.
• My mother wanted a boy at first but ended up giving birth to my older sister and then a couple years later gave birth to my second sister.
• After years of trying, she thought she would never get a boy, and about 16 years later I suddenly appeared

Growing up CTN.

• Even before I was born she knew she was going to have a boy since her pastor one day walked up to her and told her directly ( this was before she got the result of what gender I was ) that she was going to have a boy
• So I guess you could say I grew up in a good, loving home with great parents, and you would be right.

My LIFE's CHALLENGES

OBSTACLES and challenges

• When I was growing up in an Apostolic ( Christian ) church, my parents had a kind of standard for me, and it was that I had to make a difference in the world in a positive way
• So it did give me a bit of pressure to please them and to please others for quite a while

More challenges

• Another challenge waschallenge I faced when I was about 10-11 years old was when my grandma passed away. When she passed on it gave me a sense of losing someone I cared about [ since most of my relatives were alive and healthy she was the first one that I saw die ] and it impacted me for several months, especially in school.

My passions

When I found my passion

• There was one thing I will never forget, my grandma showing me and that was the arts. I remember when I was little my grandma taught me how to draw and she gave me an interest in the arts.
• She gave me an insight and new perspective on things I never thought could have beauty in them like the woods, the ocean, paintings, statues, and especially film.

When I found my passion (cnt)

• I didn't really start making films until my grandma died, and then I took it upon myself to honor her by making films, so I could remember she was the one who got me into film. Even when I was interested in film I mostly invested in drawing and some painting, but now I want to start making films for church and myself so I can improve and ( hopefully ) make it a professional career.

My vision for my future.

Directing

• Speaking of a career, I would love to have a career in film, whether it would be as a Director, a Writer, a Director, or an Editor. But since there is a vast amount of employment that goes into a film, I will start out making small films and helping my sister with making a YouTube channel so she can get publicity to be hired by a makeup company.

Medical field

• I also would love to take part in a medical field of work since I am the type of person that loves to help other in need, whether it's personal needs or medical needs. I would want to take part in the Psychology rout of the medical field since I can have a one on one talk with the person in need of answers that they cannot answer.

In summary

• In summary, my life has been a lovely experience with many memories that I hope will never go away, and I hope to create new ones so I can pass on knowing that I made a difference in someone's life. So, if you want to make a difference, just realize that no one is here to stop you, and no one is shaping your destiny.

As quoted from one of my favorite actors once said “ You got a dream? You gotta protect it.
People can’t do something themselves, they want to tell you you can’t do it. You want something? Go get it! Period! “ ( Pursuit of happiness )
