My Goals for JN 134

My name is Nathan Crane, I am a fourth year student at LBCC, and I am also majoring in the Bachelor's Degree program in Videogame Design. My story starts off when I lived in Montana for 15 years, there I have lived with my family, and went to school there until I finished Middle school. After Montana, I moved over to Arizona to get away from all of the snow from Montana. I lived in Arizona for 3 years, at the time, I was living with my mom, and I was going through High School. My last stop was when I moved to Oregon, I lived here close to 6 years, first I went to and graduated from South Albany High School, then I lived in Salem, which is where I went to ITT-Tech for a little while before it shut down, now, I have been going to LBCC for almost 4 years.

I am taking this Journalism class for one out of the last three classes I have left until I can transfer my college credits over to a University. I chose this Photo Journalism class because I have a little bit of experience of taking photos in a Photography class, and I am also currently taking another writing class, so I kind of see this as an easy opportunity to help my photography experiences improve. Since I have been accepted into U of O for Fall term this year, I hope that these last three classes that I am taking will help me achieve my goals for getting into a bigger college, which is just one step closer to helping me achieve my dream of becoming a Videogame Designer.

One of my main goals for this Photo Journalism class is to help me improve my photography skills as well as my writing skills, so whenever I take a picture of something, I would also be able to tell a story to express what the meaning of the photo is towards the specific audience. My second goal for this class is to make sure I am able to ace this class with ease, so I will do my best and work hard to achieve this goal so that I am able to improve on one of my artistic skills. My last goal for this coarse is to make sure I understand the main ideas for assignments, mainly because this is my first time having to take courses online, so I am more used to learning from in-person classes, rather than over a computer screen. In order to achieve this goal, I am going to do my best to pay attention to all of the details of an assignment, and do my best to have my assignments done correctly.

Humans of LBCC: Nathan Crane

My Name is Nathan Crane, I'm a 23 year-old Art Major at LBCC, I'm looking forward to becoming a Videogame Design Major when I transfer to the University of Oregon, and I have been going to LBCC for four years now. Most of my life experiences haven't been too harsh on me for most of my life, It all started off when I was born in Montana, I was diagnosed with an Autism spectrum known as Asperger's Syndrome, so I usually had a hard time learning my studies later on when I was old enough to go to school. My parents were divorced three times, the first time was before I was born, and my older sister wanted them to get back together again, the second time was around when I was in grade school, and I was the one who wanted them to get back together, and the last time my parents were divorced, I was in middle school, and my sister and I finally understood why our parents couldn't get along with each other. After I was done with Middle School, me and my mom decided to l...
