Academic Area Scholarship Essay
In continuing my education at Northwestern Michigan College, I hope to complete an associate’s degree in English Literature and Creative Writing. I anticipate meeting great instructors and people who can help me learn about the interesting writing styles, genres, histories, and techniques that will make me an effective storyteller in any sort of medium. I wish to walk away from this experience with not only an expanded skillset, but great peers and mentors that I can learn from for years to come.
Since media is collaborative, I want to use writing to combine different art forms like illustration, animation, and video. Using both my Visual Communications degree and my current English studies, I hope to tell stories in the most interesting way possible, whether that be through novels, short stories, art, or video. I want to inspire collaboration with these different disciplines to send a powerful message, entertain an audience, and recover lost arts, such as placing illustrations inside novels.
I also want to connect with fans on a regular basis – and not just through social media such as Facebook and Twitter. Video blogs, live streams, and other free content will not only keep audiences informed and interested, but will allow me to relate to people on a personal level.
I want to help others on a similar path too, either through editing, involvement with groups like the Writing and Reading Center, or just friendly advice. I might not wish to change the world, but I at least want to make people feel something while in it.
