   i wuuuuv you (do me a favor)
these are 2 of my student statements for my gov. school apps. wanna tell me if they're okay or if they suck? pweez?

Student’s statement: visual arts

Have you ever had a feeling deep down in your gut that you didn't understand but you just knew? That’s why I draw. Art has been what I’ve wanted to do since I was three years old and sitting two inches from the television watching Peter Pan for the millionth time. It’s been my dream all my life to be an animator for Disney feature animated films one day, and I believe Governor's School can help me get closer to that goal. I have always drawn and doodled, and was actually in a couple art classes when I was really little. I like graphite and oil based medias, like oil sticks or oil paints. I have a lot of control with oil paints and with oil sticks, I found myself able to do a lot of different things and get a lot of great effects I didn’t know I could get. I’d be the first to admit that I’ve never really been recognized for my art. I got a certificate last year from when I was at Little Rock Central High School for Drawing I last year. I’m also in the National Art Honors Society. In short, I want art to be my life. I want people to go to the movies with their kids to the newest animated flick and see my name anywhere from the top director's spot to the last name on a long list of clean-up artists. I want to inspire more people in the same way I was.


Student’s statement: language arts

It’s always strange to go into some of my classes and listen to a lot of my classmates complaining about the essay we have to write. I’m that weird kid in class that says with an incredulous expression, “What? I like essays!” And I do. It started when my seventh grade geography teacher told me I wrote really good essays, and for some reason that made me immeasurably proud, and it still does. Reading and writing have always been an integral part of who I am, and I can honestly say I cannot remember a time when I couldn’t read. I’m not the greatest in this field and I know that there are so many people that are better writers than I am. I’ve always made pretty good grades in my English classes, but I still have a lot to learn about the English language. I think that attending Governor’s school under this field would help me to keep the language arts part of my life.
