Week 2 Exploration: Storyboard

By: Cory Sinnott

Before I started the MCBS Program I was lost and confused on what I wanted to

pursue in my life.

I had graduated high school and was attending Parkland Community College

with no goal in sight.

I had always thought I wanted to go to school for music, to get a degree in

vocal performance.

So after a year at community college, I transferred to Illinois State University

to obtain a Vocal Performance Bachelor’s Degree.

But then after I tried that for a year and a half, I knew it wasn't where I

wanted my future career to end up.

I love music and always will, but I truly didn’t have passion to be a

professional singer and without a teaching degree, a music career would

not be smart.

Because of that I told myself that I needed to get out before it was too

late and focus my heart and mind on finding my passion.

.

It took some time and courage to tell people, including my family, that I

wanted to change my mind on college for the second time.

Because of that I let my parents know that I wanted to stop wasting my time

and money on a music degree, and they ended up supporting me

completely.

While finishing out my last semester of the music program, I started reviving old interests, like making and editing

videos and recording audio.

After I made a YouTube channel and had started regularly recording web-shows,

podcasts, and voice over work, I realized that this was something I loved to do and

could see myself doing it.

Because of that I found a new love and interest in video editing, podcasts,

broadcasting, and media, and started researching schools that I could pursue this

passion as a career.

I had looked at a few different schools and degree programs, including Full Sail

University where my brother had just graduated with a Music Production

degree.

Until finally I decided that Full Sail University's Media Communications Bachelor

of Science program was what I wanted to pursue.

I did the all the work to apply and get started, and in March 2014 I started

my journey through the Media Communications program.

And ever since I decided to pursue my passion for media I have been extremely happy with my experience and have learned a lot in just a little over three months at Full Sail University doing

something I enjoy!
