Academic Focus Beyond

After highschool, I intend to go to Western Washington University for four years to get my BA in Studio/Fine Arts. I am undecided on a minor, but I will be interested in taking classes pertaining to Anthropology, Art history, Photojournalism, Women's Studies, Economics, and Creative Writing. I plan to take classes in entrepreneurship and business marketing, so I can have the knowledge I need to create a successful art business. I am not completely sure what specific type of business I will be doing yet, but I do know that I want to be able to be self employed in the future. I have a goal of traveling to other countries, specifically places in Europe to learn more about the fine arts and art history. I might have already started doing that by the time I am in College through Western Washington's Study Abroad programs for Art Majors, which I am particularly interested in participating in. I also want to further my experience in swim, I aim to join a swim club or team outside of highschool to practice and hone my abilities in the sport. Although I haven’t focused on it in the past few years, I would like to get back into creative writing, and I have a goal of publishing a piece of original poetry or fiction in my adult life. In four years, I expect to be out of college and traveling to gain as much experience and knowledge as I can about other cultures and their art, so I can successfully create an art business true to my vision.
