Passions Apparently Go with Goals

For a recent college application I had to write on my passion and the goals that will go with it. Now there's a way to make a passion real, communicate to iffy-little-college students that one needs goals! Anywho, this is much more accurate than an about me, although very much lacking in small town details such as my favorite color and how many siblings I have (think "many").

     

       The first passion I have is ballet. I have always been fascinated by how much beauty it can portray without using words. It displays communication in a non-verbal and solely human way. My goal is to further my own technique and hone my body to be able to incorporate the expressive and artistic aspects of ballet into my performances. I wish to get to the point that I can put my story into an audience's mind. From observing a multitude of dancers I have discovered that what makes a dancer truly exceptional is that he/she is not only technically excellent, but artistically compelling. Basically, their personality and style snares ones' eye.

     Communication in language form as well as dance has been a life-long interest of mine, which lead me to my present career. I am currently completing my degree in Interpreting between American Sign Language and English at Johnson County Community College and am on track to graduate in the Summer of 2011. After entering this field I realized that all learning is beneficial. In order to be able to comprehend another person's language it is useful to now every piece of information that may appear. As an interpreter I will encounter many people with many differing vocabularies who are discoursing on a plethora of topics. In order to equip myself to be the best interpreter I can I have decided to further my education. Later I wish to become a nationally certified interpreter which requires a Baccalaureate degree. So along with a prospective dance major I will be pursuing another major to increase my world knowledge.

     I also have a passion for literature and all it communicates to readers. It is my goal to write a story worthy of publishing. In truth, I write only for myself and my focus is on honing the sills in writing I have shown thus far to the furthest of my ability; wither this prepares me to become a renowned author or simply to be able to communicate my objectives in the workplace. Communication in all its forms, wither it be dance, language, or literature, fascinates me. It is my desire to expand my knowledge and skills in each to my maximum potential.
