Build Habits That Keep You Out Of Your Comfort Zone
The story behind every progress
A month after I decided to drop out of college I have finally figured out what creative path to choose.
It wasn’t like anything I did before, and I was sure from the beginning that it wasn’t going to be simple at all.
The process of learning animation proved to teach me more than just technical knowledge for Adobe After Effects, Illustrator, and Photoshop. It changed my perspective on building new habits.
Why I had to choose a creative path?
My past performance in maths and physics hasn’t always been high. I’ve always had ups and downs during both high-school and college.
The big change happened in my second year of studying System Engineering. My interest in following a path that focuses less on creative thinking and more on analytical one was extremely low.
Working as a freelance photographer for three years helped me realize where my foundation was in terms of personal drive. I understood what my best and worst skills were in a matter of one year, most of it during the pandemic.
