Why I want to be an architect

Architecture is a wonderful form of art. Ever since I was six, I was fascinated with the variety and form of art and I took classes in drawing to feed that interest. I took drawing classes for about three years until I decided that I did not really feel that it was rewarding enough. I set aside my drawing classes until I took Drafting I as a freshman which renewed my interest in pursuing a career in a form of art. During that time, my ideal occupation was a I.T Specialist or a Computer Engineer/Programmer because I thought that it would be great to follow my father's footsteps.

Now, I felt that computer programming was very monotonous after writing a lot of Java code and it simply did not offer me enough creativity and art for a potential career. Now, as I take Drafting II Architectural, I started to feel architecture is my kind of subject. I feel the excitement of designing a building and then watching it emerge from a paper to reality. Architecture is the largest of all the arts. Being an architect, your work would be the biggest and most prominent thing out there. It's this amazing feeling of pride looking at the great building you designed. I wanted to experience that kind of thing. It looks to be a great career. Especially when buildings are the largest human made things on Earth, I've got something to brag and admire about in becoming an Architect. It's also, like I mentioned earlier a form of expression. I want to project my ideas on a greater scale. It's about architecture. It's about me.
