First and foremost, that I am helping animals like Sasha, a 12-year old Persian Cat that was surrendered, to find new and good forever homes. I am happiest when those prayers are answered. When I found Sasha at the Shelter the day after she was surrendered, my heart broke. It takes a special individual to adopt a 12 year old animal. I posted the information on my Facebook page and asked my friends and family to share it if they could not come help her directly. I was told Sasha was adopted within two days! I don't know who adopted her, but I'm so glad she found a new forever home.

The fact that this class is a hybrid, mixed between online and classroom, has been a tremendous advantage. We are, after all, posting our work online. It requires discipline to meet deadlines, but that's important in any job. As this class qualifies as an "internship" for GenEd purposes, learning to meet those deadlines is very important. This class also teaches us how to work independently, another skill that is valuable for anyone looking to pursue photography as a career. Since that's a path I'm looking to follow, it was a valuable lesson for me as well.
I completely agree with you about the hybrid class Karen! I think the class does show us how to work independently but it also challenges us to work together! I had always been wary about photoshop but I agree that Professor Johnstone made it painless by giving us little bits at a time. It was also nice that the voice notes were recorded so we could refer to them whenever we need to.
ReplyDeleteI love your picture of Sasha her blue eyes really stand out and draw the viewer in. You are alway more than welcome to post photos of the animals you really want adopted on our facebook page! We have over 80 friends now :)
Lauren, let me know where to send them and I'd be happy to. I'll even post the link on my Facebook page so my friends and family can follow as well. Thanks.
DeleteI am glad to hear she found a home so quickly. Older animals always seem to have a difficult time finding homes. It is a blessing to hear that someone has adopted an older animal.
ReplyDeleteSara-Anne, I was worried for Sasha. I know older animals are always at the Shelter the longest. I wanted to foster her, but knew it would create a problem with my cat, Raleigh. I agree that it is always a blessing to that older animals have been adopted.
DeleteI am so glad that this course has helped you in so many ways. Remember you get out of it what you put into it—so this just shows all of your hard work and dedication! Great news about Sasha too. You should be very proud of yourself. I am proud of you!
ReplyDeleteThis picture of Sasha is beautiful. I feel that it speaks really well for the progress that you have made in this class. You did a great job with photoshop to ensure that the photo is bright and clear!
