● Issues
I believe that this occupation is vital since it allows you to
incorporate many things that are happening with movies,
shows, and clips in ways that people enjoy to express their
lives. I chose this career since it not only appears to be
enjoyable, but it also appears to be something I would truly
enjoy doing. I've been making videos of myself and everything
else that makes me joyful and adventurous since I was a child.
I want to have options with everything, and doing this for a
living would be something new every time. I hope that my
contributions to society have a positive impact on people's
feelings, impacts, and histories!

much more. I'm creative in many ways, and I enjoy learning

● Conclusion
As my first college experience, I believe my time at PBSC will
prepare me for the difficulties and creativity that await me at
university. My time at SLS has prepared me for what I want to do
in life and has taught me to take things seriously. This lesson has
also benefited me personally in a variety of ways. Before this class,
I would have continued with my psychology major, but thanks to
my professor, I was able to figure out what I wanted to do for
myself.
