I'm not dead

I LIVE!

After my success at the CSEC and Cambridge International Exams in June of this year, I was faced with a change of mentality to begin my preparations for the Caribbean Advanced Proficiency Examinations (CAPE).

Being forced to choose subjects specifically suited to my future career, I discontinued my academic work as an artist and lost the free time to pursue it as a hobby.

However, when one door closes, another opens.

This year, I have had many opportunities to develop my graphic design abilities and use these skills productively. I created a masterpiece of hand-crafted graphic design (forgive my bluntness) for the visual arts exam, a much needed improvement over my drawing piece the day before, and I eagerly await its return. I would even pay any shipping fees etc. to get it back! I've also designed posters and websites for clubs within my school; I even collaborated with my friend Duane to create a user interface for a database job that a few of my friends and I were working on.

Last, but most certainly not least, I am working towards attending a very ambitious conference in July 2013.

In October of this year, 2012, I caught word that my school was extending invitations to deserving students to allow them to attend the prestigious Global Young Leaders Conference of 2013. Being a diligent and respectful student, I received my invitation!

I will elaborate more in the future, I have begun sending out letters to various companies in request of financial aid to attend this conference and received positive feedback from the Bermudez biscuit company! In the new year I hope to secure more funds to make this dream a reality.

Update you soon!

Distinctive Excellence

I must apologize for my extended period of absence from the blog, I've been quite lazy during this vacation.

However, this laziness was as a result of the hard work placed into my CSEC and Cambridge International Exams in the previous term. The serene bliss of sedentary life was broken two weeks ago upon the release of CSEC examination results from their website.

I always believe that you can only hope to receive as much as you have put into anything in life.
And I definitely put a lot of effort into my artwork.


So, I'm beaming with pride to announce my distinction in the CSEC Visual Arts exams.
Grade A profiles in all three categories:

-Drawing
-Graphic and Communication Design
-Theory Process and Practice.


Also, having received grade ones in each of my other 8 CSEC subjects (with seven of them being full distinctions), it was quite a relief to see my hard work rewarded.

Expedition Georgia

Having completed all of my CSEC examinations, I spent most of my time at home relaxing and entertaining myself with the movies and video games. Now, my family and I are on vacation in the United States, enjoying the company of our relatives and sightseeing as much as is humanly possible. As such, my ongoing mission to seek out artistic talents and discover creativity has been renewed once more.
In later posts, I will showcase each of my "discoveries" individually. So far I have been to a natural history museum and explored the intriguing facets of architecture across various parts of the interior of the state of Georgia.
Post again soon.
