Why Animation?

You might be wondering why a technologically impaired individual such as myself would want to continue on and take Advanced Animation. I'm a senior in high school, and I've already got enough on my plate as far as rigorous classes and college applications are concerned. I could've taken a few off periods instead of taking animation. I could've relaxed and enjoyed a few extra hours of peace. I didn't want to do that. I took animation because I want to create. I want to tell stories in a way that most people aren't used to telling them. I want to learn how to tackle the software that's presented to me, and put an end to my computer illiteracy. I've never been fantastic at drawing or painting, but I love making up stories, and I want to know how to utilize 3D animation in order to tell those stories. I don't know if I will ever become an animator. If I do, then this class would certainly have been helpful. If I don't, the worth of this class will never be diminished to me because I'll always remember it as something that I loved doing.
