I first found out about iACADEMY through a friend, an animation student. She told me how care-free it was and she could really feel the passion in the school. I asked my parents if I could at least try to take an entrance exam there alongside with other schools. The day I went to iACADEMY, there was an Open House event. So I went around with other applying students and our guide and whatever I felt about iACADEMY grew in each floor, each room I saw. Students who were expressing themselves with their hair color, their clothes, tattoos; Floors and rooms filled with the students' works. I remember seeing their computer labs filled with WACOM tablets, their lightbox room, the floor I used to call their "fashion design floor" because of the sewing machines and the mannequins and many other floors- They're just filled with passion. Right after the tour, I remember saying "I belong here."
I took the their entrance exam and had an interview right after. The exam had three parts, Math, English and reading comprehension. Well... Let's just say I aced the English and reading comprehension part and I definitely didn't draw on the scratch paper that was given to us for the Math part of the exam. The interview, though, it went surprisingly well. Of course, I kept stuttering and my thoughts were all over the place. (I was nervous, okay?) Though, I remember one question asked to me during the interview: "If you were a photographer, someone came to you and asked you to take a photo of him and his fiance for a wedding picture: Would you ask him to pay him 100%, half or for free?" I answered That I'd do it for free- "It's my passion, why would I ask him to pay for me?" or something along those lines. Though, I know my mindset that day is different now- I'd probably slap the person if they said that I should do it for free- but what amazes me with my answer was I knew, I still feel it, the passion I had in doing the things that I do. The dreams I had.
My first experience in iACADEMY was filled with passion and dreams- something that I miss, something that I want to experience again. (charot)
