What Life Can Do
An Inspiring Field Trip
My Love of Art
I just recently applied for the Steve S. Kang Scholarship:
http://www.sskangfund.org/index.htm
This is the essay I submitted along with the application and samples of my work. I want to share this because this is my mission, how I feel about art and what I want to do! If you have any ideas that will support my education and career, please write me.
Thank you.
Without art the world has no flavor; no expression of love, realization or beauty. Art is closest to the spiritual and practiced throughout the world cultures since time immemorial. Hollywood, literature, music— the root of it is art; we cannot resist it and therefore, technology advances for its distribution.
For this reason, I pursue multimedia communications. My love for various aspects of art was so great, I could not choose one, but chose a field that would engage me in all.
My goal is to use the media to engage: writing; the visual language; music; singing; elocution and public speaking, and dance— all abilities I have been blessed with, to create exhibitions that can blossom into social change and awaken society towards a higher consciousness.
My travels around the world, to namely India, Thailand, Japan, Russia, and Latin America, along with my upbringing in America has shown me my purpose: to discover and present through art and the media, the universality of all cultures.
My goal is great, but only possible through the coming together of similar minds. There is no other way for success than together. I appreciate your time and any resonance and support towards this love and message I hope to communicate.

The Coming of the Multimedia Age
Monday, February 7, 2011
Now or Never The Future is Now
I like to travel
I like to write
I love all art forms
I have a good speaking voice
I am a good story teller
I like the visual poetic language of film
I like creative designs and labels and covers
I like music, singing, and am now pursuing a new instrument
I like interview people and learn
And I want to make a career out of my life, not the other way around.
I have traveled to so many parts of the world and experienced and realized so many things, now is the time to make that dream come true.
There are two sides of me, the business side focused on the healing arts
and the media side focused on all of the above mentioned things. Both need to be nurtured and balanced and developed, so here I go. How to begin? I don't know. I need you guys to talk to me but this is what I am thinking:
I need to find an internship that is preferably paid as a freelance writer for some sort of new age or modern company (magazine, blog, or whatever) that will allow a very humanistic, cultural, and spiritual approach to new countries and the things to do there.
I also need to find some sort of job or paid internship as an on camera presenter.
I need to train at Voice One in San Francisco, or another company for my voice so that I can get some job as a voice-over artist or narrator.
And I wouldn't mind getting paid to edit video, especially a music video.
These are my goals and this is what I need.
In the future, I would hope to become some sort of writer, in front of camera presenter, producer for a travel show revolving around my various interests: healing, relaxation spots, spirituality, music, and art, all with my own channel or webcast, online and/or print magazine, and website to provide an online community and network.
Please help me get started in whichever way possible and applicable.
