This story is about a wolf who is searching for his howl. In order to find this he has to stop feeling ashamed of being a wild animal and doing the thing he does to survive. Everything he touches his mark is left on them and his dislikes this. In order to find his freedom he will go through difficult times but they will be worth it in the end. The main point Flaum makes in this story is in our journey to self discovery its not always going to be pretty. We have to accept who we are and go through some rough patch in order to find the things we want.
My Quote and its purpose
My favorite quote of all time would probably have to be “The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why” by Mark Twain. When I was a senior at Hoover high school I thought I was set on Journalism. I applied for journalism schools and I wrote about a million shorts stories just because I enjoyed it. I dreamed of working for Rolling Stone and moving to the city of New York. However though when I was a sophomore in high school my family persuaded me to take a video production class because of how high tech their program was, and how much they thought I would enjoy it. With a little convincing I finally gave in and it changed my life in some weird way. From day one I loved that class, everything about it was special. I loved writing and I still love it as of this moment, but I was missing something important and I needed it in my life. I truly though found my passion of what I wanted to do for the rest of my life when I edited my first independent film. At first, I had no clue on what I was doing. I had never worked with any kind of editing system before in my life and I thought for sure that I would mess up or do something stupid. I started going in everyday though during my study hall and watched hours of tutorials on the system itself. After finally figuring everything out I became hooked and I created my first independent film in late January, one year ago. Even today, I still feel a sense of accomplishment when I look at it on my Youtube channel and I know it’s what I would love and that’s a great kind of feeling in my opinion that I hope everyone experiences in their life. After that video I created 2 more just like it and also a short film, I’ve never felt prouder of anything else. I like that quote by Mark Twain because it’s true. When you are born, you come into this world and you offer it with more then you know. It’s one of the most important days of your life. When you figure out though what you want to do with the rest of your life, it’s just as great as when you are born. You learn your true purpose of why you were put on this earth and at that moment you can finally enjoy all that you accomplish. This quote speaks to me as a creative person because it explains of why I do the things I do. It shows me that everything I work for means something and it always will. I know I made the right decision when I changed my major from Journalism to Video Production, No regrets just memories.
