 Well, starting with the basics, I'm a 20 year old born and raised in Dublin, studying Creative Digital Media in TUD Blanchardstown! Before this course I studied in Bow Street Academy of Screen Acting, as acting is what I do with my spare time. I've been acting since a very young age, appearing in many recent commercials, documentaries, and short films! I love acting.  Here's a still from a scene I showcased in The Lighthouse Cinema! When I'm not acting, you might find me singing and playing guitar. Like acting, I've been singing and playing music since a young age. Some of my favourite music includes hits like Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin, Sultans of Swing by Dire Straits, and Hurricane by Bob Dylan. Don't let that fool you, I'm also really into rap music, I love Dave, Eminem, Cardi B.. and all the rest really! My music playlists would definitely confuse you, from country, to rap, to 70's music.. I love it all!  Dire Straits Album Cover I also rea...

Growth Mindset - A LEARNING CURVE

 For part of my week 2 tasks, I had to dive into the differences between fixed and growth mindsets. I was so happy to see this as part of the tasks for this week because this is something I had read into before. Last year in my acting course, it was almost drilled into us that making mistakes is NOT A BAD THING and is actually a good thing.  For example, from a young age I was taught that going to auditions and not getting the part, is not a bad thing! It's all about experiences, and there's so many factors that come into play. Instead I was told that every failed audition is a learning curve towards the right audition and that a "No" now, is because a better "Yes" is coming! (One of my favourite sayings!)  A really interesting read on this below: https://actingcoachscotland.co.uk/blog/developing-mindset-acting-success/ I do still believe that in some parts of my life I still have a fixed mindset. For example, with regards to materialistic things like money ...

Feedback Thoughts

 This week I read two articles on feedback.  The first article I read was Neil Gaiman 's advice on a creative life. In the article I learned about how Gaiman has a different way of looking at mistakes. A good way! It was interesting to think about mistakes as being a tool in our lives to help us move forward and learn. I feel like from such a young age we are taught that making a mistake is a very bad thing, it's something you are worried about doing, feeling like you'll be judged.  Neil has a great way of injecting the idea into our mind that making a mistake is a powerful step in life. I actually wish this read was a bit longer, but it leaves me interested to search more into Neil Gaiman and into his way of thinking. His beliefs are something that I'm very intrigued by. ~ Neil Gaiman The second article I read was How to Get Past Negativity Bias . The article was written by Katrina Schwartz, a journalist from San Francisco who works for MindShift who explore the future...
