Who I Am
Hi, my name is Quinn Pagona. I am currently a senior in AP Art. I think of myself to be a kind and goofy person that sometimes struggles with joining others conversations but rather likes to sit and listen. I'm working on it, though, because being this kind of person bores me! I also love being happy when around other people, and showing it through smiles and greetings. I appear to be a bright person on the outside, which is even true on the inside most of the time, but I absolutely love expressing less joyful emotions in my art and music. But yeah, in more things art related, I enjoy drawing most of all in a realist style combined a little bit with my own. My inspiration comes from my music, video games, history, books, other parts of the world, emotion, worlds that do not exist... I am encouraged to learn new techniques, try new mediums, and to improve in any way I can. It would be my dream to be accepted into East Carolina University to study in different categories of art and major in french horn so that i may play professionally, but that may change at any moment because I rarely stick with the same idea for too long. I want to figure out more of an identity for myself, and I don't know if this is a common way to feel, but sometimes I don't even feel human. I feel like there's nothing distinct about me mentally or emotionally, and I can't decide what I want to be. I love the idea of being smart and wise with words and the way people can talk about history and all, but I struggle with it greatly myself, still feeling so immature all the time. I literally pride myself to the point where I feel like one of these people when I have those extremely rare instances that makes me feel like I've said something in the perfect words and appeared wise for one moment. But this is not who I usually am, and I don't know, but it all confuses me how I can identify as one thing one day and then the opposite on another. I think I also get sidetracked easily, or at least today I do. Maybe I should stop thinking philosophically now, and just tell you that I'll probably get a career dealing with design of some sort when out of college. So yeah, there you go, the most interesting autobiography I think I've ever written about myself, all in one paragraph!
