Someone once said, " Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional."" Some of my relatives would never consider doing one without the other. They apparently have no recollection of what it was like to be a kid with a soaring imagination and have transformed into a robots with confined mind. I, a victim of P.P.S.--the Peter Pan Syndrome--, do not have any desire to grow up into that kind of an adult. I have vowed to never imprison the kid part of me. .
As my childhood tradition, I used to get up early on weekend-mornings just to plop down in front of the T.V. to watch my favorite cartoons while I sloppily ate my cereal. I even began to test my own hand at drawing cartoons. To this day, my passion for cartoons, along with my "childhood- tradition, continues to live on. It was inevitable that I would want a career that would allow me to express my imagination. Becoming an animator seemed to suit me perfectly. I love the freedom of imagination and how it is applied to animation. I couldn't picture having a job where I couldn't use my imagination or any kind of creativity. There is a great satisfaction in applying my own ideas to my life; to be able to do that for a living would make me incredibly happy.
I began to discover more about becoming an animator as I researched facts for a report. To become an animator, a Bachelor or Master degree in fine arts would greatly help increase the odds of being hired. You must also learn about computer techniques you can use to help you, especially if you wish to enter the field of animation. Taking core classes in English, science, and social science can also help increase your chances. However, just like any other career, there are disadvantages. Even though there are many job opportunities for animators, the competition for jobs are intense. The more qualified you are, the better your chances are of being employed. .
