UC Essay #1
Describe your favorite academic subject and explain how it has influenced you.
I have enjoyed many classes at this school but my favorite by far is multimedia. I have always been curious about this class. I thought it would be cool to learn about filming videos and how to edit them. I was really looking forward to this class every since I came to this school. I didn’t know anything about multimedia but that didn’t stop me from trying it and putting all of my effort in it.
Before I was in this class I was always interested in photography. I remember always getting the disposable cameras and taking pictures as a kid. I still remember getting my first professional camera, the Canon Rebel t3i. My camera and I have gone through many adventures together. Taking all these pictures got me interested in film. I thought it was cool to create my own content. Going into multimedia I had a little experience with Photoshop, Adobe illustrator, Filming, and editing. In multimedia I got to expand my knowledge on all of these things. I really enjoyed coming to class everyday and learning something new or doing something that I really enjoyed. Because of this class I film and take pictures a lot more. I also am considering majoring this in college. Because of my interest in film, I did my internship at the Media Arts Center where I got to make a documentary about the murals in North Park. This film made it into the San Diego Latino Film Festival. Because of Multimedia I have been more interested in film and photography and I am considering doing it in college.
UC Essay #2
What is one thing that think sets you apart from other candidates applying to the University of California?
Throughout my life I’ve always done the same boring things. I never put myself out there because I was such a shy person. Going into Junior year I wanted to change that because I realized that I don’t do anything and that I wanted to have a hobby. I wanted to go out of my comfort zone and try something new. I decided I was going to try new things and try to find new interest. Junior year I decided to try soccer because I have always wanted to do it. I didn’t end up liking it so I quit but I still learned things like working together as a team. I was disappointed because I thought it would've been different than what I thought. It was a great experience but it just wasn’t for me and that’s okay because it’s also good to find out things that I don’t like. Another thing that I have recently tried is joining art club. I have never been good at art but I haven’t really had an interest in it because I wasn’t good. I decided to join art to try to get a different perspective on it. I ended up liking it and staying in the club. I am always open to trying new things because I never know if I will end up liking this new thing or hating it. From now on I am just going to keep trying new things even if I think I might hate it because I might end up liking it. This is a great way to to make new friends and find new interest. I am going to keep trying new things because I never know what I will end up liking. Even if it’s something that I have always wanted to try, I’ll do it even if I’m scared I am going to fail at it.
