I attended Freestyle academy for my senior year in the Film elective. I joined because I am passionate about video editing and story telling, and boy did I learn a lot! I value honesty, respect, authenticity, and efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Outside of school I like to golf, make TikTok videos, and go for walks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In my Junior year at MVHS, I didn&#8217;t know what Freestyle really was. I thought it was for really &#8220;artsy&#8221; kids and that it wouldn&#8217;t be a good fit for me. When I did join in my Senior year, it was all because my good friend Michael Kurgas was in it and told me more about the program.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On my first day in Film, Mr. T asked us to introduce ourselves to the class. I said that I was excited to &#8220;take a break from MVHS&#8221; and enjoy the creative side of MVLA. Mr. T. laughed and told me to get ready for what the year had in store. Throughout the next 9 months I learned much more about life than I did about Film. I learned how to work hard, complain less, communicate effectively with others, and persevere. I also learned many valuable technical skills related to filmmaking.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"807\" height=\"800\" data-id=\"253\" src=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~JerardB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/ThreeMe.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-253\" srcset=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~JerardB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/ThreeMe.jpg 807w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~JerardB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/ThreeMe-300x297.jpg 300w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~JerardB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/ThreeMe-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 807px) 100vw, 807px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">So many me&#8217;s!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"888\" height=\"800\" data-id=\"284\" src=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~JerardB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/PB47.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-284\" srcset=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~JerardB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/PB47.jpg 888w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~JerardB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/PB47-300x270.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 888px) 100vw, 888px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Golf man!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here&#8217;s some personal stationery I made in Digital Media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"613\" height=\"792\" data-id=\"401\" src=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~JerardB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Bryson-Jerard-1-Resume.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-401\" srcset=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~JerardB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Bryson-Jerard-1-Resume.jpg 613w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~JerardB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Bryson-Jerard-1-Resume-232x300.jpg 232w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 613px) 100vw, 613px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Resume<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"612\" height=\"792\" data-id=\"403\" src=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~JerardB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Bryson-Jerard-4-Letterhead.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-403\" srcset=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~JerardB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Bryson-Jerard-4-Letterhead.jpg 612w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~JerardB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Bryson-Jerard-4-Letterhead-232x300.jpg 232w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 612px) 100vw, 612px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Letterhead<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"253\" height=\"145\" data-id=\"404\" src=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~JerardB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Bryson-Jerard-2-Card-Front-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-404\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Business Card<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are some of my favorite quotes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse\">\"Choose a major you love and you'll never work a day in your life because that field probably isn't hiring\" - Unknown<br><br>\"Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans\" - John Lennon<br><br>\"There are only two tragedies.
