Ever since the age of 9 my siblings and I started to travel around Asia. I was lucky enough to be able to explore countries like Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Myanmar, Thailand, and Hong Kong. Therefore Asia has always been a very dominant part of my life and culture, as though China remains a country i have not had the occasion to visit, but I do believe China is in a near future for me. A major factor is also the fact that my sister lives in Honk Kong, and my brother will be moving to China, which is even the more reasons to endeavor as to achieve my goal of attending your University. Apart from that, i grew up in Los Angeles where i started making short videos with my friend where we would see how far we could play with the effects of the editing software. It became something we would do every weekend, then on a daily basis, but for me it was a hobby, something i did for fun. As i grew older i realized that if i want to be good at something i have to like it, if i can find what i love doing for work I will never have to work a day of my life. And i just turned my cheek to the one thing i have always been infatuated by, which is becoming a pro at my art. So the day my sister showed me Beijing Film Academy I saw the perfect opportunity to manifest something of my own in a more than suiting environment where i do believe i can not only strive for excellence but achieve it. The Academy has been able to shape Chinese cinema, and it's elitism has reached my ears 6,000 miles away, the reasons for me to join this school are numerous, but the main one is that the Academy can make my future worth living for.
