Hello Steemit! My name is Carolyn, but you can call me Carol, 25. I'm a Graphic Designer.
Becoming a Graphic Designer is not easy it’s very tough, especially if you're a freelancer and doubting your talent and capabilities.
Being creative doesn't mean your life as a designer or artist is easy there are lots of challenges you have to overcome and in my case, I never really dreamed to become one it just so happened and I just took it when I passed the entrance exam in a state university here in the Philippines. That time after I graduated in high school I really don't know yet what I really wanted to do in my life, I just took the entrance exam from several universities, thinking that maybe something will come up after I passed and just choose wherever university I will go.
The time after I graduating from high school was so short and sad to say I still didn't realize what course I really wanted to take and the last call for enrollment was just around the corner, I don’t have much time to think, so I took the Graphic Arts and Printing Technology course at the Technological University of the Philippines Manila, since it's more likely for me to do so because I'm an active member of Art Club in our school. As they say, the rest was history.
When I'm starting to earn money, I came to like my job as a Graphic Designer but since it's not my passion I felt like I'm losing my will to continue working.
When opportunity knocks, like free scholarship I’m grabbing it still in search of what I really wanted to do. I’m losing hope but still looking for that something I really want. I’m also starting to question myself, why am I like this? Why do I feel so uncertain? Recently I remembered when I was a teenager I dreamed to become a baker or patisserie or anything related to cooking so now I'm trying to save money so I can take even a short course, I also saw some scholarship near here but I still want to have enough money so I won’t just rely on the scholarship.
Hope you guys wish me the Best of Luck!! Thank you!
