In 2025-2027, I was a junior at Los Altos High School and Freestyle Academy. I was an animation student. I wanted to learn animation because I\u2019m good at drawing. I was a pianist and cellist, and I regularly play with other instruments in ensembles. Aside from the arts, I\u2019m on the cross-country team for Los Altos.<\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-link-color wp-elements-5f166077682e795cc92bf18099ff53ba wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:15px\"><mark style=\"background-color:#fff\" class=\"has-inline-color has-black-color\">My core values in life are being motivated to do everything, even if the task\/challenge is new, and having the grit and determination to accomplish your goals even if they seem impossible. Dedicating something to the goal no matter how much will eventually lead to success.&nbsp;<\/mark><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-link-color wp-elements-6a2f8698c046da296d53eca083f00a45 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:15px\">I bike and run long distances, mainly to see scenery and improve my physical endurance. Someday I would like to bikepack longer distances.&nbsp;For instruments, I learned the cello first and then the piano. <strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#4573e7\" class=\"has-inline-color\">I found out I liked to play the piano more, so the piano is now my main instrument. I practice piano regularly to improve my repertoire and technique to prepare for the conservatory level in college<\/mark>.<\/strong> For cello, I play with local high school students in ensembles.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-013a89454d06d5fe4df2bb3f6b7f5afc wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#0c63b5;font-size:15px\"><strong>My expectations as a freestyle student are to learn how to use basic media software like Adobe Photoshop and tools such as a recording studio. Artistically, I want to create more realistic animation in my animation elective, hopefully by the end of this school year.&nbsp;<\/strong><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-link-color wp-elements-8f076b708487967c98089e9d426c8e1f wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:15px\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#187bd8\" class=\"has-inline-color\"><strong>As a Freestyle Academy student, I value creativity<\/strong> <\/mark>as it is what fuels our work. Use your ideas first and see before looking for inspiration.&nbsp;It is also important to pay attention when the teacher goes over how to use a specific software or device that is new to you, you may never use these skills at the moment but they can be useful later on in the future. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reflecting back on my experience at Freestyle, Freestyle has equipped me with technological and communication skills I will cherish in the future. Freestyle has enabled me to take my ideas and bring them into life, whether through Aftereffects projects, photoshop animations, or 3D group animations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About me My name is Albert Kuo.
