Going Back to School at 41!?!?

Going Back to School

At 41, many might consider their path set, but for me, it was just the beginning of an exciting new chapter. I had long pondered returning to school, but nothing seemed to resonate with my vision or learning style—until I discovered The Los Angeles Film School (LAFS). This place captured my interest with its diverse subjects and the dynamic, project-based approach to learning that fit seamlessly into my life. My passion for entertainment, D&D, and anime found a perfect home here, making LAFS the ideal choice for unleashing my creativity.

The Decision to Enroll

The journey back to school wasn't just about acquiring knowledge; it was a profound realization. After years of hard work climbing the corporate ladder, an injury left me reevaluating my life. I felt like I had been striving to prove my worth to people who didn't value me. In that period of reflection, I realized I needed a change that aligned with my true passions. Enrolling at LAFS for a Bachelor of Science in Media Communication became my path toward personal fulfillment and a chance to set a strong example for my family.

Enjoying the School Experience

To my surprise, school has become one of the most fulfilling experiences of my life. Achieving a 3.98 GPA has shown me the rewards of dedication and hard work. Every day has inspired me, and I'm optimistic about my family's future. My experience at LAFS has been incredible; the instructors are caring, the courses are engaging, and the community is supportive, which has turned my perspective on education upside down.

Future Aspirations

As I look ahead, I aim to become a Media Producer, crafting work that entertains and inspires. I aim to create timeless content that resonates with audiences, driven by the skills I'm honing at LAFS. I'll build a portfolio through freelancing, showcasing my web design, photo/video editing, and video production talents. Ultimately, I envision a career in the entertainment industry, perhaps in anime, television, or film, using everything I've learned to spread joy and creativity to the world.
