Tom Kelley Reflection
I can relate to the video, “Do What You Love,” by Tom Kelley. I have always been good with math and accounting. I have been working with tax accounting for the last 18 years. I have lost the passion for taxes. That lost of passion has brought me to Full Sail. I have always had a passion for movies. I have always wanted to work behind the scenes. I am following through with my education to lead to a career in the entertainment industry. I am taking my passion for moves to lead my “life’s task” calling.
The example of what I have worked for on my Master’s journey is completing my bachelor’s degree in Entertainment Business. Education is an important step into becoming a master in my journey. I believe that with education has both a positive and negative impact on a person’s journey.
The example of the positive experience that I have learned is I was very dedicated when it came to my coursework. I struggled through high school with my coursework. I was often bored and would lose interest. I went to few junior colleges. I could never decide on a career that I wanted. I was going for four different degrees. I then attended Full Sail and found a home with the course work. I was able to learn to become focused and complete my degree.
The example of the negative experience that I have learned was trying to

I also think that not only appearances are judged. Mannerisms also are judged. I am very straight forward and don’t expand on my words. I often get the opinion that I am not approachable. I also get the opinion that I come off rude. Once a person takes the time to get to know me they find they had the wrong the opinion of me. They have found that I am approachable. They understand that I am down to earth and knowledgeable. I often hear people say that is they way she

Then during sophomore year and especially junior year. I realized what I wanted to do as a career. I noticed that I enjoyed cooking a lot and being in the kitchen. That's what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. One day I found out I had to switch schools. The new school I'm in Has a culinary program which I was very excited about. I asked them to place me in there. On the first day of school, I saw my schedule and I was very excited. I knew this is what I enjoy doing, but I didn't know if I wanted to continue it after high school. Through this program I learned that I do. In order for me to go to culinary school, I had to do my best in school because culinary school is not affordable. Especially for my family. I have many opportunities through program to earn a scholarship. If I work hard and get good grades I'll reach my…

    High school is a time when challenges are all around, the only difference is sometimes a person doesn’t see them even though there right in front of their face. In other words they are still too young to have the experience to recognize them. Last year I dealt with the challenge of re-evaluating my major of what I thought I wanted to do as a career. For years I felt strong…

    There were several videos, lectures, and readings that taught me very valuable knowledge about ethnic studies throughout this class. Throughout this class I learned a lot about this world and how it treats minorities. It amazed me of how much I did not know about what goes on in the world. This class really opened up my mind about how the majorities treat the minorities. I am glad I took this class so I can see the world in a different perspective and have a different view of what we live in today.…

    I was the kind of guy who always strove in order to get the highest grades but yet hadn’t decided what to do in the future. I wasn’t worried, I knew someday I would find something in what I was good at. I got to live with that thought for some time until I got to attend middle school, where I stopped worrying about my grades and managed only to pass the subjects. I spent most of my time sleeping due to the frustration of not knowing what to do in the future. Most of my middle school experience was tasteless. I hadn’t friends at all, and teachers used to discourage their students about their future. “You're not going to college, you’ll not be able to do it because you’re poor” used to say, Mrs. Vazquez, the math teacher who instead of giving her class, talked on how much his son had accomplished in college and how we would not be able to attend. That was about to change.…

    However, I ended up failing my calculus class and barely passing my economics class due to the numerous activities I was taking a part of and having to work part-time to cover my living expenses. The struggle that I had faced academically was a huge shock to me because I had been among the top ten percent students in my high school, and never once in my life did I had to take tutoring. Even though I was going to tutoring twice a week and setting more time aside to study, I still failed my exams which caused me a tremendous amount of stress. As a result, I packed up my stuff went back home to enroll at El Paso Community College to relieve the tensions of having to live by myself and to rethink of my goals about what I wanted to do in my college…

    Even subjects I thought would interest me became too boring to bother with. The few people I met weren’t very fun to be around, and I missed my old friends.
