FIDM HAS HELPED ME SO MUCH. BEFORE I ATTENDED I WAS A GIRL WHO ENJOYED DRAWING AND PAINTING. NOW A YEAR AND A HALF AFTER GRADUATING I AM A GRAPHIC DESIGNER WITH DISNEY UNDER MY BELT FOR MY RESUME AND THE TITLES OF LISTED ABOVE. WHAT I LEARNED IN THE SHORT YEARS I WAS THERE IS TRULY AMAZING. TO SEE MYSELF TRANSFORM INTO THE DESIGN PROFESSIONAL I KNEW I ALWAYS COULD BE IS TRULY AWESOME. I AM SO RESPECTING NOW WITHIN THE INDUSTRY IT'S SURREAL. TO HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE STUDENTS THINKING ABOUT GOING TO FIDM I WOULD TELL THEM IF YOU GOT THE TALENT AND YOU GOT THE HEART FOR WHAT YOU DO FIDM WILL DEFINATELY HELP YOU GET TO WHERE YOU WANT TO GO. THEY LOVE PEOPLE THAT "WANT IT," AND HONESTLY IT IS HARD TO FIDM PEOPLE LIKE THAT ANYWHERE. BE AN OVER ACHIEVER AND JUST GO FOR IT, DO MORE WORK THAN IS ASKED OF YOU AND REALLY STAND OUT. IF YOU IMPRESS YOU TEACHERS, THAT'S A GOOD THING. BEING A TEACHER'S PET HELPS, SWOLLOW YOUR PRIDE AND DO THE DAMN THING. GOOD LUCK IN YOUR CAREER.
