Facing the Imposter
Who am I? Who am I really? If I don’t know then surely I’m a fraud, a fake. An imposter. I’m lying to myself and everyone around me. I’m not as talented as I think I am. My achievements are flukes. I’ve somehow managed to fool everyone around me. I’m a lie and I deserve to be forgotten and thrown aside.

Spirituality of Serving Tables
Some say that I have a very particular line of work. Not exactly something everyone would want to do, or could do. At times people compliment me by expressing just how they don’t think they could ever do my job. That they have just seen too many bad experiences to want to take it all on. Most of my life I felt the same until one random day and a couple of random life decisions later and I jumped ship ONTO the serving scene. I had no idea the amount my life was about to change or how it would eventually change my entire person! I am using this example to introduce myself to you all because this is such a big part of who I am. My name is Christy Ann and I am a server and a spiritual lightworker in a small, conservative town in rural Nevada.

In that time I have worked in anything from burger joints with a 50's theme to high end where you have to be able to pair food to wine and even done a bit of banquet serving.

What is a sports agent ?
A sports agent negotiates employment and endorsement contracts for professional athletes. Agents are responsible for communicating with team owners, coaches, and managers on behalf of their respective athletes. Agents are also responsible for making recommendations according to their athletes options. Agents handle public relation matters for their athletes as well as finding income sources. In some large sports agencies, agents deal with all aspects of a client's finances from investments to filing taxes. It is common for athletes to rely on their agent for guidance on all business aspects. Most athletes have very little experience dealing with contracts and finances, therefore they hire a sports agent to handle all of these aspects for them.

Remote Work...Let's Be Honest
Remote Work…Let’s Be Honest If you’re a baby senior, you work remotely many times a day. When I say to my sister and roommate, Sally, “HEY, I’m going down to check the mailbox,” I’m working remotely, because she can’t hear a damn thing. And, then the trek down to the mailbox finds me temporarily remote from the comforts and safety of my apartment.

What 100+ rejections did to me when I was looking for work after graduation
I graduated from film school in December of 2019 but I’d finished the degree in October that same year. I remember feeling excited and relieved that it was all finally over. We had spent our last semester working our asses off to produce an “industry standard” film and we were all exhausted.

Straight Outta Film School — PT2
So, to summarise my previous article: It was a hilly journey. I went through a major emotional overhaul of my life. Film school had many challenges that left me feeling unconfident in my skills but then helped me regrow my roots and also as a filmmaker. Film school had missed many marks that my colleagues and I discovered too late and entered our final semester feeling unprepared. Film school was preparing us for a Hollywood-esque happy ending that wasn’t necessarily relevant to all of us. I found what I wanted to do with my degree which was to help small businesses with video marketing Got my diploma in marketing I don’t regret film school. The experience wasn’t perfect but I still loved it.
