Academic Challenges 2021

 

This year it isn’t the first in which I have had online classes because de pandemic situation, but this doesn’t mean that has been an easy year. More hours of synchronic classes were added and more difficult too. Also, as a dance student, find a place for do the classes is very difficult because I had to a good floor, a space emptier as I can find and or course a place in which in which it won't bother to my family, and I could stay focused.

The thing that I dislike the most is Internet connection because it is not under my control, some days It is almost impossible to take the class and it is very frustrating.

Although Home learning took with brought with it a lot of good things. First, I stayed more with my family, and share with them, I had more time to do thing that I never did because I was busy doing things outside. Also, I haven’t had to transport myself to take the classes and this, gave me the possibility to take advantage of my time in another things like cook and edit my videos.

Now, we are starting to have some face to face classes and It is a new challenge, because I haver never lived an university life before. It is very exiting at the same time. By other way, keep distance and follow the protocols it is not that easy, especially the use of face mask.

My dream job

I remember that when I was nearly of 10 years old, I was fan of Hanna Montana, and I wanted to be an actress and singer like she was in the serie, this was my dream job when I was a child. So, I did begin to take class of theater and I found dance again. I was not very well singer, and I like theater, but the classes were canceled. 

I saw movies and series and I imagined to me like the protagonist, looks very fun to me the possibility of “live” different worlds of fantasy and be part of adventures and interesting histories, play to be a different person with the challenge of interpret multiple emotions and personalities. Also, be a famous person sounded exciting, with a good salary, living in a beautiful house without money problems, traveling to other countries for job, festivals, and premieres. Famous people life seems fabulous, meeting other famous persons and going to parties, doing whatever they want and visiting wonderful places.

Now, I think in the privacy and calm that probably they do not have, famous people have to give up to a percent of control of their lives and I don not like this.

Nowadays, I am dedicating to dance and arts, I found love in creation’s power, and I am excited for learn and explore around arts, my new dream job is being a creator, and I am on it.

Technologies

 

I remember that I received my first personal cell phone when I was 6 years old, pretty simple, called “almeja”, only for calls and some games, really fun for me. From then, I always have a mobile with me, a little bit impressive or not? In resume, technology has been always part of my life. When I was a child, I saw so much TV, and now I think that I wasted my time in this but, maybe was necessary for now be more consciousness about it.

Now that I have a different relationship with technology, I use It more for looking inspiration in other places of the world, learn and create and show (share) my work, as an art student I am sure that art and technology are a good team. Also, I like this devices for catch and save memories in photos or videos, a big invention.

My favourite pieces of technology are my cell phone, laptop, and camera because I have multiple possibilities and applications. However, constantly I am trying to find a health balance because, I notice that consumes energy and time faster than other activities, social media and the content in internet is limitless as addictive.

I believe that we are able to have the control and use the technologies as tools and not be slaves of them.
