Doodling Over Calculus- Emerson Essay

As you know, the academic programs at Emerson College are focused on communication and the arts. Please tell us what influenced you to select your first choice major and, if applicable, your second choice major. If you're undecided about your major, what attracted you to Emerson's programs? Please be brief (100-200 words).

As a child in elementary and middle school one of my biggest passions was Art. Drawing was second nature to me, coming almost as easily as breathing. I love the blending of colors, the abstract use of shapes, and the imagination behind all of the effort. My canvases ranged from walls and fabrics, to (more often than not) the corners of my school work. As I got older, the desire to create remained with me. I still hold a great appreciation for art, and doodling in the corners of my calculus homework has become a habit. That is why I want to major in Animation and Motion Media. What would be better than seeing the works I create on paper coming to life before my very eyes? I hope to turn my biggest passion into something I can do for the rest of my life and subsequently, take my work to a greater level.

Ok this is my first draft and it needs help!!! Any and all feedback will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

I think this is a very good narrative, it very clearly addresses the question, and just about the passion you have for art.

I think this is a great short essay, and can't see any problems. =) good luck!

Thank you all for the feedback and help, I just sent it in with a few revisions I made as well.
