Erica's Story

My passion is film and photography.What makes me most excited in photography is being able to express myself in what I'm doing, for example putting my emotions in my picture. For film, it would have to be when I did something right and I got to go back and see how my shot came out. When I'm working on either film or photography I have an amazing feeling like I'm doing something that I truly love.

Growing up I loved watching the behind the scenes of movies so I could see how a movie was made. Photography started much earlier in my life. It started with my mom getting me disposable cameras that I would run around and take pictures with. Since then, I have always loved these two thing very much. I want to attend this program because it will expand my knowledge on both of these things. It’s also an amazing opportunity to get to learn something that I would also like to study in college. This will impact my future goals.

A Note from Ms. Lodhie, Erica's Teacher

Erica is a prime candidate for an extracurricular program! The extracurricular programs that she has applied to will allow her to thrive, and will give her a chance to demonstrate her true skills in leadership and productivity which a day of difficult academics my not provide her on a daily basis.I truly think that an extracurricular program will give Erica more confidence in her own skills and abilities, which will then positively impact her academic career as well.

Amazing time at Academy of Art!

My classes so far have been great I have really come to like my film class very much. Before starting these class, I was really scared because the class were in San Francisco and I would be traveling there alone, but I think that this has been also one of the this I have enjoyed. It feels like I'm  having my own little adventure. The class itself is great! It has really helped me learn new things and new ways of filming. It is also really interesting to see other kids around my age that have the same passion for film. This has been really fun and a great learning experience. I am so glad that I was able to be a part of the Academy of Art Pre-College Program. Thank you!!  It makes me really happy knowing that other people will go out of there way to help make someone else's dreams come true.

Excited for my summer at Academy of Art!

I'm excited to go to the Academy of Arts University because it is one of the colleges that I would really like to attend in the future. However, being in in San Francisco makes me very nervous because I don't know it as well as I know my own city, and I don't like being lost. Nonetheless, I am most excited about expanding my knowledge of photography. So because of that my goal is to take advantage of this opportunity and learn as much as I can. Still, with this opportunity there will come some challenges that I will have to face, and one of the ones that has crossed my mind many times would have to be finding the class too hard. But in the end I know that this is something that I've been wanting to do for a long time so I will do what ever it takes accomplish it.
