In september of next year I see myself enrolled at RCC trying to expand my

knowledge of graphic design. In the future I wanna be successful and be doing
something I have a passion for. To achieve that I need to stay focused, and be willing
to fail. I know this is what I need to do, because I have put much time and thought
into this. The talents I have include my creativity, and willingness to grind for what I
want. I need to develop the ability to market, and be willing to put myself out there.
