Hello there 
! This probably isn't one of those desparate save my loved one situation but i guess i feel like it something very important to me.
I'm just about to complete my first half year of uni (college for the yanks ) and i found it boring, silly and academic enough to make me spin. The only reason why i chose this uni is because I didn't want to disappoint my parents by waiting for a full year before i can get into the uni course i want. Those courses i wanted are way out of reach because of my academic level.
So this film school (Australian Film Television and Radio school) in sydney is one that i truely want to go in. I am about to apply for the Animation course. It doesn't discriminate academic levels thankfully.
Why am i worried? lots of factors against me. Industry experience, which i lack, age, i'm 18, all students there are 21 and over and number of people applying. There are heaps easily over the hundreds and they will only accept four people.
Why do i bother? Well firstly i'm good at this. I have animation skills exceeding my age (i hope) so i feel that they may see me as a high potential person. Creativity is also my forte. It may seem silly but i think this is the only way that i can do what i want and make my parents proud at the same time.
My parents? They won't listen to my requests. Obviously i know that i have little chance of getting in which is why i have contingency plans. If all else fails, there are other courses near me but they are expensive and provide the course indirectly that i want. It's always, need to do Maths and Politics and essay writing if you want to do just this little bit. So simply it's like i do more that i don't want to do the little bit what i do want. My parents don't care what uni i go to as long as i GO to one. So if i can't get in here, i'm forced to do what i don't want.
I try very hard to patch up my port folio which is needed before sept 5th. I tear my hair out, cry over the issue angrily and even was temped a few times to lash out at everyone simply because they won't give me some space to breathe. Always the excuse 'you'll be wasting your time.'
Oh well i guess i can't get into everything. Please pray for me. It's like this school is going to determine how i react in future. I can't blame my parents for pressuring me like this. They just want the best out of me. And so i will give them just that.
