Designing My Senior Year

 
Hey blog world, I'm Luke, this year I am exploring the world of Interior Design and Architecture.  When you think of design, what comes to mind? Patterns? Furniture? Buildings? Truthfully, every answer is correct! The world of design is endless. From the computer screen you're staring at right now, to the chair your sitting on, the room your in, and the clothes you're wearing, they have all been thoughtfully designed by someone with a simple vision: to create something others can enjoy. There are so many different realms of design, but this year, I am focusing on one of my passions, which is interior design. When I was little I would take time to admire the buildings in the city, or the materials used in a particular space, and I watched much more HGTV than I care to admit. And this year, I finally get to take all my admirations and ideas, and make them a reality. Throughout the next ten months of my senior year, I will be spending a few hours a week at ID/Architecture, shadowing designers and helping in any way that I can to complete their projects. I hope to gain more knowledge of what a career in interior design would look like, and if this is truly a path that I want to follow. Along with this internship, I will be focusing on reaching and achieving my academic goals of getting into my ideal college or university. My next few months will consist of college applications, visiting schools all over the country, prepping for the SAT, and even more college applications. In the midst of all the hard stuff, I will also be super involved in our campus here at Cal High. I was voted ASB President, and am very excited to help lead and contribute to our school and it's student body in many different ways by continuing to create the positive encouraging environment that we have on campus. This is a big and exciting year for me, and I'm stoked to be able to share it with you!
