The school I want to attend is AI: Illinios Institute of Art at Chicago The student activites/clubs that I am interested in attending are the film club, animation club, and culture fest. I would like to join these because they are alongside what I am interested in. I am familiar with video programs but not too indepth in them. I think that if I participate in this club I can be able to make projects of my own and be able to show different types of art using video. As for animation it can some how correlate to film. For instance, I can make a film about a cartoon and add in all the knowledge I would get from the film club and make something better. As for the club fests, I would like to be ... read more

She studies hard and seems like the only person that gets the problem, in fact right now she's the one that's helping most of the students in the math course.... read more
