Introduction

 

    Hello, Everyone my name is Shinikia Battle, I am a fulltime mother of six wonderful young ladies and a wife to a loving husband of 13 years. I work fulltime at Amazon as a Process Guide, which is a Assistant in training. I also am a student here at Albertus Magnus College. I am using my Iphone 11 in order to take my photos. Now a little about me, I am going for my Bachelors in Criminal Justice and this is my Senior year and hope to finish in May. And if it were not for my mother I would not be where I am today, this woman lead me to believe that she had a apt., which she did not explain to me what it was for. So as we go into the school she told me to ask about the program and I did and the next thing I know I was signing up to attend and 4 years later here I am. My mother recently passed away in Nov. of 2020 which was the hardest thing for me, I lost my drive and didn't want to continue to keep pushing, but family and friends convinced me that what she would want is for me to keep going, so here I am, trying to make her proud of me. But I choose this field because I want to make a change in the world for the better, I feel that I can contribute to the society by helping those that need to gain the understanding of life and how doing certain things can ruin theirs, I would like to start my career off with juvenile probation. This way I can get them while they are still young and are able to change their lives around, yet my dream career is Crime Scene Investigating and hopefully one day I will get there. I choose this elective just to gain insight on how digital photographing works and how so many can create beautiful and creative looks to their photos. And I wanted something that would relax my mind, something that I could have fun with and to learn something different that I would have never done before, I am not computer sabi and don't know how to be creative so this is a little out of my comfort zone but I love to learn new things. I hope from this class to learn to be more adventurous when it comes to taking photos and to be able to show the beauty that I get to experience to everyone else. So thank you for having me in this class and I hope to show great work and progress.
