A few things I have gained through
going through application process twice is perseverance. I had a strong desire
to win. After losing the first time I realized that I really had to utilize my time
into perfecting my assignments and not procrastinating. This was a good craft
to perfect because its comes up in life all the time. Procrastination
always played a big role in my daily life style, and after going through this
process I felt like not only did I improve on not procrastinating, but I learned
through perseverance I can conquer any task at hand. In preparation for the trip we had meetings
and gained a lot of information on Roman history. Through the required reading in preparation
for the trip I learned that Bernini and Borromini basically framed the
foundations of Baroque for Rome. Those two artists were basically involved with
everything. Also we researched a lot on the potential walks we
were going to participate in while in Italy. It was cool because I felt I was prepared for the content
the docents would teach us before they explained it.
Overall I feel like this
trip had really changed me as a person. Even though I had the chance to taste
the most amazing food In the world I still had this strange attraction to art.
Returning back from Rome I just didn't see things the same way. When I
look at building it's nothing compared to the ones in Rome. And when I eat
pizza or pasta or even just drinking water I realize it's just not the same as
Rome. And in all honesty I really miss it and I really want to go back because
I had a true connection with everything I learned. Having the chance to travel
to a whole different country at such a young age has really impacted me. This
experience will live with me forever, and all the knowledge I acquired will
forever remain in my mind.
After the trip we made reflective videos of what we
sought most interesting this also was a good lesson for the future. Now I'm
more familiar with Macs and Final Cut Pro. I know the ins and outs of the audio
and video for apple computers now.
