I spent the last three days obsessing over a demo video I created and strangely enough, it woke up that creative side of me. I completely lost myself in creating something that expressed something, something emotional. Ever since I could use my parents\’ videocamcorder, I had been fascinated with making films. Of course, I never really pursued it throughly. I made short videos of my sister and my dolls. And the stories we concocted with them. Stop-motion and full action. Yet, when I got older, I realized I didn\’t have that creative edge and dropped the dream in place of something that I was truly skillful at–technical skills.

Right now, I am almost done with my masters. Yet, I sometimes question if I really took the right path. I do enjoy what I am doing. Yet it seems like there is something missing. I want to write. I want to create. Most of all, I want to create something that moves people. Something that wakens up a small spark in them to make them learn something, think in new ways, and feel something that they have forgotten. With HCI, I can lessen their frustrations and make their life simpler. It\’s helping the world, but to me, that\’s not enough.
