I'm back on blogging again (well slowly getting back in the habit), and would like to catch up on my life updates since the last time I posted something (whoa, 2 years).
Let's break it down some (don't want to go aaalllll in that would be forever, lol):
- I've sacrificed a lot to be last year
- I had my Welded Magnolia in the Jacksonville Zoo "Zoo of Lights" permanent collection.
- Had my 8foot by 4foot Woodcut Print Relief displayed at the MOCA Jacksonville.
- Went to Art Basel Miami 2017 for the first time (hopefully I can go back again)
- one of my Best Friends (my ride and die) got Married and I got be her Maid of Honor.
- Ended up on Spring 2018 A/B honors roll and my last semester with a President A honors roll.
- Graduated with my Bachelors in Fine Arts degree from University of North Florida (finally!!)
- Still work working for the bookstore
- Went from working at the law school bookstore.
- ended up having a new manager (who is awesome, she's one of my good friends/older sister/cousin).
- we both had to close the store because we both got promoted to a new store (1 hr and 30 mins away) to open as well I got promoted to an actual team lead.
- I left there to be transferred to a different store back in September to be more near my university as well for traffic/travel for my last semester at UNF
- Now I currently work at the same location with the same title
- I ended applying for something pretty cool even though I would like to go somewhere else but this a good start/step for me.
- I've interned for Wolfson Children Hospital for the Art with a Heart program there ( making art with kids who are patients at the hospital). I had so much fun and loved it so....
- After giving my Senior Presentation to the entire Art department aka my professors, They would love for me to continue making art on my own as well take a couple years off before going to Graduate school.
- I already have in my what I would like to go for grad school for: Art in Medicine at UF (basically what I interned for but in Jax) however I would work with all ages from kids to elders. I could also go for Art therapy, however every graduate schools are different.
- I would like to either work with patients in the hospitals/nursing homes/rehab centers.
- As well work with kids at school
- or have a family practice
- basically i would like to with everyone and help them through art, as it helped me.
- Now that I am out of school and just working part-time, I wanted to make time to reeducate my self from k-12 subjects so I don't ever forget them. Now and days, I feel a bit off about how much math or grammar I remember, as well vocabulary, science, and history.
- I already looked in to Khan Academy to check that out, haven't started, but can't wait to relearn some things.
- I have no shame to say that, plus I'm already dyslexic my self, so this is more to improve myself more.
- my dyslexia will never go away, however I learned from my research for my art work I made for my senior project, You may never get rid of it but you can always improve yourself by finding what works best for you.
- Last thing is I'm going to try to vlog my YouTube again.
- links should be on the side but don't worry I'm going to give this blog site an update as well.
All righty, I know its a long read but we are all caught up (well the most important stuff), so I will be posting more things. Follow me (if you like) to see what more I will post, oh don't forget to follow any of my other social media too ( all links are on the side,if you want to).
Have a great day,
Bonita xoxo
