Cora Maynard's ePortfolio

I have not decided on a career but the field of study that interests me the most is the arts. I am in between story/script writing, 2D animation, voice acting, and figure skating. I have always had an interest from a young age about writing and animating my own stories. Voice acting came to me when I joined theater and realized that I had a passion for acting. I had joined a class for figure skating and realized the art of it was a passion and that I want to pursue. I realized that I wanted to pursue these careers when I felt the passion to continue it. 

The classes I have taken for these goals, specifically writing, are Pre-ap English during High school and advanced English throughout middle school. I taught myself 2D animation for four years, practicing it almost every day. A program I have done for voice acting is joining the theater. I did theater in 7th grade, a theater summer camp for 4 years, and voice acting for small projects online. Classes I’ve done for figure skating are 4 classes, private lessons, and joining the Southern Maryland High school Figure Skating team. 

I have participated in the school theater. It has taught me responsibility and teamwork and how to work towards a goal and meet that goal in a specific amount of time. I have participated in figure skating outside of school, as one of my ideas in the future is to become a professional figure skater. I have not been employed yet, as I am too young to get a job. 

When I graduate from high school I am not joining the military or immediately going to work.  I plan on going to a four year college outside of America as a trade student. I want to get experience of working and learning in a different environment and adapting to the new challenges I will face. The education I want sometimes cannot be found in America and I want the best option for my education. My plan may change as I grow older and I learn who I am and what I want to do with my life. 

I want to make a positive impact on my community and society by showing the world the stories I want to share. I want to bring inspiration to others and have them see my art. I want others to find joy in my creations and feel safe reading and watching them. I want to change this world for the better, bring more understanding and hope to it.
