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 t
o 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.
