Blog 4 Happiness and Work

     Choosing a career you think you will want; that you think will make you happy  is not a easy choice.  Since I am an art major and goal is to be a 3D animator, there are many problems I face. Putting happiness into work is a very long and complicated process.  However it can be done. I know for myself I will making a ton of mistakes and failures as well in order to succeed .  Their will be many challenges and critical choices I will have to make in my life in order to obtain a successful career.one thing I know is   that I will  not become a failure because there are a number of things I can do in the art field besides 3D animation.

     To choose the career you want  comes with a large price and many challenges ahead.When I choose my career I already knew the risks that would happen.  Sometimes you may think the career you want is actually not the one that you will be happy with. As what happen to J K Rowling she mentions that she has made a lot of failures and that making failures she has learn a lot from. The way I understand it is that one way I will be learning a lot more about myself is making mistakes. Through mistakes you are able to learn more about yourself and the career you are pursuing. i  think it is important to try out new things and taking risks too.  An example when  opportunities come at you, you should take the chance. there are many people Who deny them because their afraid of what may happen or they think it will damage their future.  I know I took a big risk when I transferred to LaGuardia.  As a result I had to deal with a ton of required remedial classes. They took up a lot of my time.As a result I was learning though new things about myself and the career I was pursing.Learning to write better, writing better. These basic classes help me improve on areas i thought I would never would.  Transferring to LaGuardia was one of the best choices I had ever made. I may be graduating a bit late in my life however I know that when I finish I will be able to transfer to a 4 year collage and finish with a bachelor’s degree.  Many people expect to finish college fast and think the career they had chosen was the one for them.  I think that it is important to take your time in college: Explore different things while your pursing your career, take chances, face the fears you worry about the most.  I know that  while I am still in college I will never limit my self to one thing. As proof I have discovered that I have talent when it comes to technology, poetry and my sense of creativity for writing.  The key is defining yourself and exploring what and what don’t work out for you.

How can we find happiness in Education?, a very complex and interesting question to ask.  I want to expand my talents in Education to increase my happiness.  I am an artist however it is not the only talent I have, I have a few others as well like building things,repairing items of all sorts computers, game consoles, and more.  I’ve come to realize that i want to be an engineer as a back up idea incase the art world doesn’t work out for me.One of the main problems I am having is my academics I want to find a way to increase happiness and performance in them such as Reading, writing, and math.  Another thingi want to do with my talent is expand my ideas and creativity to see what other things i can do besides art.  One of the most important ways to improve happiness in education is to improve the mind and body.  It is important to take opportunities in school when they are offered to you, it be can another  way to improve your happiness in education. In my paper I will argue how I can improve my happiness in education; including steps on how I am going to achieve them.
                      
      I have trouble with academics such as reading writing and math.  In school i notice that I am having trouble with these main subjects.  To begin I have a hard timereading, I don’t read enough; to which  is why I am slow at understanding parts from specific reading material like poems or short stories.  For me i need to find inspirationand something to motivate me to read more; including  things that i am not interested in to read but required to do for a class.  I think that we all need an extra push  when it comes down to reading material that I don’t like.  I know that for the future reading will be important because it will be needed when I have a job, sign important documents,or even when I become my own boss.  When it comes down to writing it is yet another problem I have.  I struggle constantly with it when i have to write a paper, make a report,or even an essay exam.  The way they teach students how to write in schools I think needsto be improved.  Ill admit I do like to write, however at the same time I don’t.  In order to fix this problem I think that I need to do more free writing.  I personally think that all classes that is required to make any type of papers or reports should encourage students to do free writing.  I know that for me it would help me find happiness in writing more, that it would benefit me now and for the future.  Now as far as Math I dislike it the most.  A number of very complex problems to solve and some of the math that I was required to learn has no use in life.  Of all of the subjects in my life,  I cant see how I can find happiness in math.  This subject has Always been a problem for me. In high school it was not taught to me properly to which is why I have a hard time with it.  Even in collage how can you learn math if there are some many different ways to solve an equation.  This is one subject i will have to improve on the most.  I’ve yet to find a way to be happy in doing math.  I know that for the future I will need to find a way to improve on it because it will be important when it comes to building something or any career i will be in in the future as my full time job.  One way or another there are a number of steps I must take in order to improve my happiness in these particular subjects.

    It is important to try out new things when it comes to  getting your educationin collage.  When taking classes that are either required or ones you enjoy I think thatit is wise to try taking one extra class that you may be interested in.  I know that if i was to take a class that is not related to my major I might find out that I have other talents besides art that I can do.  For an example I would like to take a how to speak Spanish class for the future.  I know that it will come in handy someday because Spanish is one of the most popular languages besides English spoken in this country. Another kind of class I would like to take is how to wield metal together.  I know that If I take this kind of class also it will benefit me both in the art world and if I do any kinds of jobs in the construction or design fields.I know that trying out these types of classes I will find even more happiness and even more when I go for other degrees in the future while in collage.








      It is important to put a lot of organization when it comes to the mind and body while in collage.   When I take an exam, do a homework assignment, and even a large scale project;  ive noticed that I have a hard time focusing when it comes to doing any kind of school work.  I usually end up doing school work assignments last minute or sometimes not at all. I tend to procrastinate a lot.  I believe that if I began to focusmore on getting school work done in advance that it would be less stressful on the mind.
      Keeping the physical  body in shape I think can be very important while getting and education in collage. While in school I don’t always like to sit around and be in class,I think that it is important for myself to keep active and be able to move around as Much as possible. I say this because sometimes I have a tendency to fall asleep in class.In order for be to be happy In class I make an effort to use the school gym after I am donewith classes.  It is also important to get enough sleep that way you can get up the next day on time for classes.  This I have  also yet again to have proven for myself.  
    It is important to control my actions and how I use my time in school.Whenever I get an opportunity in school to improve on something I always end up bailing out of it. The reason I do that is because I am stubborn,  sometimes when i do go for tutoring for a class it works and then sometimes it doesn’t.  to specify When it comes to a test, paper, or just standard homework assignments.  I am making school difficult for myself to handle. One of other reasons I turn down opportunities this because I am un able to tell if it is worth my time.  After a number of failures that occurred in previous classes, I know here and now is what is most important as far as taking the chance.  I know if I take opportunities more seriously that it will lead to better results of how I do in my classes and at the same time it will benefit me for the future. As an example being able prevent myself from repeating a class cause I didn’t get tutoring, or talking with the professor to get help for a assignment.To not say yes to a opportunity when available in school is like causing a delay in school progress and making yourself more unhappy.
      Can I really find happiness in education?, only time and making these changes can tell.  Improving on ways to become better in academics reading writing and math. My talents in taking classes that are not related to my major, a Spanish class or a wielding class.  I must find more ways to take more care of the mind  and body.  Last one of the most important things is when an opportunity is open; learning how to take the chance for a better future.  I enjoy being at school and I know if I don’t receive my degree’s that I will have a harder life working a bad job and not seeing my happiness not jus in education but  out their in the real world.

    How can we find happiness in Education ?,A difficult  question to solve yet it can be answered depending on what actions the person makes for him or herself.For me their are many things I must do in order to find happiness in education.Their  are some questions i must ask myself in order to actually find this happiness.To Start off  I need to find out what I enjoy that I want to learn. Two I need to find Out what I require in life that will benefit my education for now and the future.  Finally I must figure out what will  work for me and what will not for my education.In my blog I will argue how I can find happiness in education for myself.
     
   In order to find happiness in education i must learn what it is I want to education myself in.  I am an artist I enjoy drawing, sculpting, painting,and animating. For these activities I enjoy learning how to do all at LaGuardia Community collage.  Being a artist requires a lot of time and work.  Some people may say that what I am studying is foolish, however that doesn’t stop me from what i love to do. I find that in order to keep myself going, I must stay focused and continue to educated myself. I know when I am finished at LaGuardia I want to transfer to a 4 year Collage to pursue a Bachelors degree in 3D animation. My goal is to become a 3D animator and animate both TV shows and movies.    Another activity  I enjoy to do is fix Computer, consoles, and things in my house.  I continue to study how and educate myself how to  fix even more things out there. I not only enjoy it but I keep in mind that it will benefit me someday in the future.
 
    It is important in life to learn what it is you need in education in order to also find happiness in it.  Just as much as enjoying education for what you want it is important to learn things in education  I may not like. For example I am not a big fan of  math and English, but I know if I don’t take these courses I cannot continue in education whether i am required to take these classes for a degree or if I may need it out there in the real world. With math courses though I don’t like them at all, I know that it will benefit me when I have to make a special measurement for a painting ,  add or subtract part of a piece from a 3D model in a  program for my animation., and even for the number of frames I will use to make a animation.  As for English another subject least of my favorites.  I know that it will be important for now and for my future.  As when i write a story for an animation, write a report or paper for one of my future bosses,and including how to write properly when i explain to others of who I am. I know that even if their are other subjects that are required of me to take in order to get my Degree, i must do them.  I am also not a fan of big exams, yet i know when i take them now that it will benefit me for later.  With all of these obstacles in my way the only way to get through them is to face them, regardless how much I may not like them. 

       There are many factors to conclude in order to see what will work and what wont for my education.  In order to actually find happiness in education , it is important for Myself to know what action I do now that will benefit me in the future. For starters control of my actions.  When to study, time management, and doing the assignments on time.  I know that if I procrastinate or delay myself I will not enjoy education now andas well as my future too.  I think to find happiness in education is not easy, however with he right steps I know that I can find happiness in it.  What i realize is that if i was to leave collage with out a degree,  I would barely manage to survive out there.I would end up being nothing, I know that staying in collage does make me happy because I am pursuing a career that I want.  I got to collage not because I have to,but because I want to. I know that getting an education will benefit me now and for the future. As for example learning how increase my skills in Art, improving my skills in the academics English and art.  Most important of all improving myself as a person. I also enjoy going to school not only to get an education but to also make friends socialize, to know what goes on out in the world. I enjoy listening and understanding peoples opinions about the world. I know that some of those friends I make in collage may someday help me out or better yet, some may become my team mates in the working field.
 
    Can we all find happiness in education ? I think most defiantly it all depends on what actions people take as well as  I take.  From learning what I want to educate in which is art, improving My skills in painting, drawing, sculpting and animating. The subjects  I don’t enjoy English and math. I know I will need them because they are also important.  Finally the actions I take to make all of this work.  there are times where I don’t enjoy education, however I know that no matter what I must keep going no matter what happens. I know getting my education now is the most important step.
